I'll ask my girlfriend to help me. She has some tips to do it she told me ?

Considering that, what should I do for the suit ? My thoughs are : snowtrooper suit all the way, make the shoes greyish and no more beige. I hope the other parts can do their job ?

Yep some colors seem to indicate this is not the original rendering (especially on the shoulder bells). I'm trying to figure where to find the original rendering and not the in game files I shared at the beginning but it is really hard to find. I can litteraly find every single trooper from the game except this one XD [EDIT] Just found this source : https://www.redhotgameart.com/en/by-title/jedi Seems legit then.

Hey guys ! So, I'm back And while I let some mastic dry on the backpack, I found new ref pics. Let me know what you think please, but I'm pretty sure these will change the way we went regarding the flametrooper suit compared to the snowtrooper's one. (it never ends does it ?) What I notice from these are : The kama and suit are definitely the same as the snowtrooper (so I need to re re re change my plans). My boots are the wrong color : everything must be offwhite/grey and no brownish. My helmet is definitely too small so I need to rebuild it. The part under the visor as a recessed center line. I cut too much my hand plates so I need to find new ones. The soft part of the helmet is the same color as the helmet itself. Just more weathered. Time to cry I guess ?

You are right guys thank you very much ^^

Thanks a lot mate You are right, i need to make a little step back ^^"

Hello guys ! We did a little armor party a few weeks ago and I forgot to post here. The idea was only to continue the sanding process (and get the motivation to do so). Here is what I have so far : The main issue is that the big parts are not top quality printed. I just hope that I'll manage to get it smooth because, honestly, this thing is driving me nuts and I sometimes am close to giving it up. And I didn't start to smooth the flamethrower yet Anyway, at the end of the week I'll go on vacation for a few weeks so I won't be able to go further. May be I'll try to get the motivation to get something done like the primer or something before leaving for the summer break ^^'

Guys I'm back ! I made a little step forward on the gueters, but no pics for now. But ! today i made the kama and stitched it to the suit. Of course, with the weathering, all will be more same color-ish. I'm just afraid about the fact that I'll probably need to reprint the helmet. Seeing the old pics make me think it is a bit tiny compared to the rest of the armor The kama here may look a bit tiny but I checked with a "flame on" pose as the character does in game and it arrives between ankle and mid calf as expected. I hope the visual look will be perfect with the boots and gueters on ^^

Hey there ? Here is a very small update on the backpack. I finally managed to build a harness support to make it stay in place as my first tests were not convincing with it falling down my back. With this piece it should be ok

Hey there ! Here are the completed arms Slowly but surely ^^

Hehe, thank you very much I'll try my best and help making the CRL so we can be more and more to help our fellow snowies melt the Hoth surface ??

Hell yeah !

Thank you guys ?

Hi there ! Well, i'm way more slow than expected but, i'm trying to make some kind of harness like boba's one to keep the backpack well in place. ^^ Will post pics as soon as i got something decent to show you. If all goes as i have planned, the gloves should be done by the end of the day. That's all for now folks ? Cheers ! edit : gloves finally done ? they are note perfect as if i were a pro but they are pretty decent for a first time and comfy.

Hello guys ! Long time no post but my job and house are taking me a lot of struggle these days ^^" Anyway, I managed to work on my forearms lately. I'm trying to make my gloves too but the first 2 attempts were definitely not working xD So I decided to cut appart some of the wrong colored gloves I ordered to make the pattern out of it. I hope to go back on it this week end. I also ordered more material for the suit and kama. Slowly but surely ? I hope I can post another update at the end of the week end ^^

Same here with the welding gloves. My material is due tomorrow. Then I'll have a pair of my own and well fitting ?

Thanks for the research Mark Well I think I'll try to make my own. As you say, they are pretty simple in their pattern so I should succeed (I hope) ? Plus, I have to order some material for the suit and kama (or just the kama if I found a good match for the suit) so let's go

I tried to cut and restitch but it went really wrong xD Yep we talked on the CRL topic about nomex gloves but what i found on the web is different from the german flight gloves. I'll definitely look more in this direction, thanks Interesting thank you ! I agree, if it is seen, we have to be as close as possible. The seams on my latest glove is definitely wrong. I'm curious about what you found ^^"

Hi guys ! Long time without posting here but I'm struggling with the gloves Here is the latest I found but I'm not sure it will be ok. Also, still trying to find some not too expensive forearms. As soon as I can get back to sanding the printed parts I'll also try to find some material to make (or order) the suite and then sell my unusable duster ^^ Edit : I just found these nomex gloves. Would they be acceptable ? Seems more comfortable than the welding ones ^^" https://www.ebay.com/itm/144097393944?hash=item218cdfbd18:g:xh8AAOSwhaFg3hq8&var=443399368077 But they lack a seam line (which I can add I guess)

Dying will be difficult and at this price I don't wanna mess it up. But Aliexpress seems to get some decent alternatives ^^

Hi guys ! Little update today. Got the gloves from Amazon but the seams are all covered with black and changing that will break their shape and integrity. So let's go back to the research phase ^^"

Thanks for the explanation it makes sense to me now ^^ The one I found on amazon.fr seem definitely good in term of texture then. Plus they don't have the brand on the arm part ?

Well I'll continue my research then but I'm not sure about what is the difference between a nomex and a welding glove ^^" About the chest, your text says that the shoulder straps attach to the back armor but, like the regular snowtrooper, there is no back armor, only some nylon straps securing the backpack Other than that i think it is good ^^

So these should be good https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B07F7347BB/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1FBB9TXGHVG14&psc=1 agreed for the new additionnal text

Yep i think it should be good as you suggest. So, it is time to find some good grey nomex gloves then ?
