Here are the requested pics!

Thanks for all the work on this! Here are the updated pics:

Hi! Thanks for all the input! I've weathered the chords with some mud and i've taken a pic of the reds. Pic levels have been adjusted to match how the reds look like in person as my camera seems to like to adjust to make the red pop out too much. Also of note is the round cartridge butt on the pistol should be painted silver as well.

Re: Ropes Definitely red, not dark red. But weathered. Re: Scarf It might be the settings on my camera but the scarf is a deep red but i don't think it should be a dark red. But will look for a darker one if necessary. Re: weathering It might not be showing up as much, again due to camera settings but i can weather it some more. Thanks!

All noted! I did try to match the weathering i the reference pics. It's mostly on the pants, boots, grenades. What i did forget to weather are the ropes. Perhaps that's why it looks too clean still? I can't recall if there was a scene of Val in MT without the helmet...hair could be optional, but it's just so iconic of the character and wigs are easy to obtain anyway.

Attached the telemetry unit and weathered it up. Calling this done:

A lot of them also use the Rogue one TK/ST/DT gloves. Without the velcro at the back for the hand plates though

Hi All! I've finally finished my Mud Trooper build so i thought i'd share the process. To start, we had to find one real world item on the costume to base measurements off of. And we used the shoulder buckles as mine are cast from original: Like almost everyone, we thought that the base helmet was a Veers/AT-ST/snow trooper helmet, but as we compared it to the reference buckle and pics ofcourse, it was obvious that the mud helmet was shorter and the face opening smaller. Helmet was modelled in Fusion 360, 3d printed. A waste mold was made and a plaster master was cast and modified to the correct shape. Armor was sculpted by modifying plaster casts of our existing Inferno Squad/R1TK chests, Shoretrooper back and shins, DT shoulders. All were modified based on the buckle as reference. We also designed a way for the collar to lock into place: The plaster masters were then cleaned up and master molds were made. Armor was then cast in black flexible fiberglass. Test fitting after painting and rigging: Mask can be held in place by placing magnets inside the helmet and sticking the steel latches to them Here it is partially finished. Still need to attach the telemetry unit and muddy everything up My wife in the "Val" configuration.

Hi! Thought i'd share pics of my build as well. Still need to muddy it up though My wife's Val, in case variants are to be included

TX-82480 reporting for duty!

Undersuit is indeed hot, but not as hot as vader. Also a lot of mesh, the central abdominal panel is mesh and the non-ribbed parts are sweat wicking jersey material. I thought i'd post my finished DT:

Would like to chime in as well. Could the gasket shorts be bumped up to a level 2? Those would be difficult and very expensive to make...and will not be comfortable.

Ribbed neoprene undersuit with integrated stretch vinyl / faux leather neck seal and gaskets as well as the boot covers. Picture of the suit below is our final premium prototype. All ribbing on the neoprene and faux leather are stitched individually. Neck seal and gaskets also have embedded chord to give more shape to the ribbing. Ab section had internal drawstrings to help tighten it to your body.

Finally finished the prototype set. This is the regular sized version. A tall version is in the works with longer biceps, forearms, and shins. Will be launching soon. Production starts in January. In the Pics i am 5'9 barefoot. Short and husky Deathtrooper: Helmet: I have to find a more opaque lens. Any suggestions? Also, is the death trooper lens bubbled or flat?

Yup, we'd like to try it this way first since it's simpler. It's also been sculpted in such a way that it looks like a separate piece. Updates! Modelling the leg greeblies: First cast of prototype parts: Trimming the thighs: I'm only 5'9 barefoot. I had to trim about 2.5" off the top of the thighs. Testing the rigging for the abs, back, cod and butt. Thighs will be held up tk style via a belt and elastic. Test fitting: Again, i'm 5'9 barefoot. I'm too short and a bit too wide. There is lots of allowance though. As seen from the ab plate, i have 4 horizontal slats showing. Screen guys have 7. This ab piece has 9 slats. Still waiting on the forearms and shins but so far the torso will fit probably fit someone 5'8 to 6'3, maybe even 6'5. With regards to the soft parts: My prototype is made of neoprene for the body and stretch vinyl for the "wings". I decided to use neoprene for the torso as well because it's very very hot and humid here. I may try other ways to simulate the rubber like look of the torso, but rubber or latex is just out of the question. (I had a bad case of heat exhaustion before and would never want to experience that again). The "wings" are too wide, so i'll have to bring that in. The neoprene ribbed undersuit is also too baggy.

Again, thanks for the extra set of eyes! More updates from the studio:

For casting purposes that area has to be filled in though. Updates: Thighs: Bicep: (detail lines will be made a bit wider) Helmet:

Thanks! Yes, this helps a lot!

Still in the refining phase. Once i think it's ok, i'll post it here for you guys to take a second look.

Thanks for all the input! Below are the revised parts. Re: the ab grills, yup 7 horizontal panels are meant to be exposed. We just added two more to make sure the abs stay under the chest and for taller troopers as well. Also, do note that we have to make some parts subtly unique to serve as a sort of signature. While we can't really prevent recasting, at least when we see the unique sigs, we'll know if a set was ours or not. That being said, these signatures will be minor, but will also be kept secret for now.

Thanks for the detailed feed back! Always helps to have another set of eyes, especially at this stage. Will make the details pop out more on the abs and try to make the central plate seem more like a separate piece while keeping it part of the sculpt to simplify the build. Our back pack box is 11x11.5", including the slantes area.

Finally updating this! I'll be posting pics of our master sculpts as we finish them. Hopefully, you guys can spot mistakes or areas for improvement before we start making molds. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Sizing is roughly regular TK size but we've extended the abs and the thighs a bit for the taller folks. We also plan on making regular and longer sized forearms and shins. Here's what we have so far: Back: Abdomen: Kidney plate: Thermal det: Shoulders: Cod:

Small updates on the DT as we finish the Shoretrooper first... Helmet cast in resin for mastering: Had some aluminum belt buckles Cnc cut:
