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.

You could try to rig up a strap between the existing ones at 90 degrees to allow the pouch to sit up but as you can see in the photo below, the position can vary personally I like it better straight up and down

This is a common issue with the boot covers. You could also just add a small piece of Velcro to the front corner of the cover and to the boot to get the ends to stay down.

Hey Jim, good to see you starting a build thread. I can set you up with all of the buckles and will see what I can do for the forearm strap buckles. If anyone has a 3D print file to save me rendering it, that would be great. It was fun getting back to trimming armor pieces again. One thing you may want to do is use imgur for your photos. The forum has very limited space for photo uploads. just create an account and upload the images there. when posting on the forum, just paste the Direct link into the message and the photo will show up. Looking forward to getting you out there trooping with us as a death Trooper.

Hi Raymond. I am not an expert on the Shadow trooper but am very familiar with the original trilogy stormtroopers. The male snaps in the photo are not part of the CRL but are used to hold the belt in place on the abdomen armor. They are not seen, nor are they required but I think almost every one uses this method to attach the belt. For the Thigh armor, the rivets used to attach the thigh ammo belt are usually split rivets with a cap size around 5/16 inch or 8 mm similar to these https://www.abbeyengland.com/bifurcated-rivet-nickel-plated-12-3-16-7-9-gauge-g04701 https://www.rivetsonline.com/rivets/split-rivets-bifurcated-rivets?srsltid=AfmBOooqXMY4LTpmaMbAm1SzdHwSU5fJxMZgQTJst9u_iMRrp9i5lNM6 For the holster connection to the belt, they are usually pop rivets but can be snaps or chicago screws or even the double cap rivets you have shown above. These would be similar to what was used on the CRL model https://www.amazon.com/ISPINNER-100pcs-Aluminum-Blind-Rivets/dp/B08KXJ969Y/ref=sr_1_7?crid=12NETAZBYCVTM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.MgjFJAJYXFRF8tA45YieA49uDkCshp_ck6CAsBRBGBXmc71SUJt3EQXZfcqacnUsls_YQZAqjOV7EDVoBN7dwxFyToZFS33AZYTKIxYCoN74WaZOlpTkGoyce89w4x5f0fZvZWIDGrGulGQfTGH_kiDkOQBOPIFNldUEj_dhBXKsor6DRep2E6__WXeHacXCJ9ZdLm492vJmoJe6bq4ozGGRCqbICHmYuBEjJMDQrI0.eh_XeMAPlI116ZuEAcNiY0AeNoDTEjDMxqkDufQh1HY&dib_tag=se&keywords=7%2Bmm%2Bpop%2Brivet&qid=1750771805&sprefix=7mm%2Bpop%2Brivet%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-7&th=1 Hope this helps
