Welcome Rudi. you have picked a great costume. Take your time and ask lots of questions. for vapour smoothing, It looks like a neat technique but from what I have seen, you will still need to sand some. I have recently seen people using Bondo/Acetone wash that is painted onto the armour. It appears to do a great job smoothing out the print lines but will affect fine detailed areas. Thankfully, the death trooper does not have a lot of fine details except for around the muzzle. I recently purchased an electric foot sander from Amazon. It is a small circular sanding disc and it makes sanding so much easier for larger areas. I look forward to following your build.

They were printed in Carbon Fibre infused PAHT filament

I have the crowprops boots and am level 2 approved

welcome aboard Jack. Looking forward to following your build.

Blasters can have and need to have triggers. I think you are correct in thinking that they are referencing the scout blaster, which has no trigger. EC-17 Hold-out Blaster Flat or semi-gloss black. Blaster does not have any visible trigger. Blaster is lightly weathered.

Congratulations Jonathan . Welcome to Spec Ops

I can. As long as the resin is still okay. It’s been a couple of years.

I 3D printed a plate in translucent yellow resin. Same with the red one behind it. Just translucent red.

I PM'd you the files It is all LED lights run off a 9V battery The blaster is all 3D printed resin.

I printed it myself. The magazine is converted from my E11 one and scaled up to fit exactly onto the MCM barrel will PM you the files.

Mine is an MCM 3D printed one. It is hollow and I have all of the electronics installed. I reworked the magazine housing from files from a sterling SMG so a 9V battery can fit in it.

Hey Jim. if you past the direct link, instead of just the link, onto the page, the photo will show up

I think you have some room to rotate the thighs in a bit. The front cover strips should line up with the ones on the shins. I had to trim a fair bit off the top of my thighs to get them to fit right. See how they fit with the torso armor in place first though.

Hi Marc I used a decal to create the circuit pattern. The trick was that it is very difficult to print silver on a decal as it just doesn't show up. The solution was to paint the area where the circuit goes in silver and print the reverse decal in black. Unfortunately I used a mac for the graphic and have since switched to PC. the file is saved in mac paint (.paint extension) format, so I can not open it to convert it to something usable. If you have a mac, I can get the graphic to you, otherwise you may need to design it or have someone do it for you.

Hey guys. the LEDs for basic approval are optional, so you can have them there or leave them out. If you will be going for level 2 approval, they need to be there and they need to work.
