I'll give the finishing a go this weekend for a suitup and see how it looks!

Bummer about the flaky vendor, hopefully you can dispute the charge or something! The Pathfinders forum for regular scouts has a list of Vendors that others have been approved with, so one of these might be good: BlasterWorks (USA) Chef's Creations (UK) The Force Forum (USA) Hole in the Ground Productions (USA) Inland Empire Armory (USA) Kropserkel (Canada) Negative Eleven (USA) Polymer Armory (USA) Praetorian Blasters (USA)

The Pathfinders Detachment has a list of 3D files that they've seen used (below). I don't see anything glaringly incorrect with the Galactic Armory files, but there is an analysis of all the inaccuracies in the files in a thread on the Pathfinders Detachment. GA did correct the important inaccuracies, so you should be fine as long as you've purchased the files recently and you aren't going for higher level accuracy. The Pathfinders folks confirmed that the files shouldn't have any issues with basic approval, but you may want to go find that thread for any concerns.

Alright! Let me know if you guys think it's ready for the black details and a suitup. I'm thinking about adding some more brown to the chest and helmet.

Glad you enjoy! I've got a thread one level up if you have feedback. Tarrif made an improved version but you can rework your print with functional rivets as well.

Nice! Good work.

They sure do in my opinion as well! I made a note about rivets and placement in the toe boot file description. I think it's probably better for each person to add those in individually via drill or slicer, in case they need to scale the forearms nonlinearly to make it work for their size. I'm happy to add them on but they could be functional.

Aloha, I figured I'd start a thread to post my files for your guys' use and for any feedback on them. For some background, I'm currently XO of the Pacific Outpost and do structural engineering for a job. I'm also working on a Forest Trooper here on the Spec Ops board, but CAD is easier than painting for me. I had printed most of the obvious parts of the ISB kit after seeing the trailer, but after seeing the Tactical Agents in action in Andor, I decided I'll stick to being Vader, but I like the kit and wanted to help out. 😂 I'm not an expert in CAD and don't mean to make these files perfect, just a solid first attempt that you can print for free. You should expect to need some customizing in your slicer software and or/post-processing to make these ideal for you. I'll revise the pieces if anyone has detailed requests or I can make new pieces if they are simple. Forearms (minus flashlight): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7049441 Back Belt Buckle: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7050492 Toes / Boots: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7050487

Nice work! I just finished off my first attempt at modeling the forearm, you can download it at the link below. If somebody takes the time to get high quality screenshots, I'd be happy to revise the file accordingly, but it looks pretty okay to me. I figured whoever would print it would want to glue on a functioning wrist flashlight (I think that's what's above the comm pad). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7049441 Also, I don't think its exactly the shoretrooper bicep - its seems to me that it has an extra angle on the bottom, going from the middle "ridge" extending outwards on one half. One you find a good screenshot showing it, you can just use your Shore files in a slicer to print the extension. If you have some dimensions, I can design the boot armor and reverse belt buckle.

Thanks, will do this weekend! Close up photos of the knees are at the end of the last page, they're in the same style as I did these ones so they should match.

Thanks for the advice, the shoulders, biceps, & forearms have been redone to match the blended look of the references. I took an overall shot of everything, please let me know if anything else looks like it needs a repaint. I've got to replace the "nose" of the boots still and repaint the boot shaft but I think it's really getting there!

I got some work done at an armor party yesterday, here are some updates! Boots still need a major overhaul but everything else is getting a nice, subtle wash of light green after many passes. I think I'll do another round of green wash and then try a suit-up to check in on how it's looking all together. Thanks for the support guys!

I've updated the Thingiverse file with a V2 for each item based on the helpful advice you guys had. I scaled everything to 75%, added a twist lock of the comlink, smoothed out the bottom comlink so it's more of a radius than chamfer, and touched up the dimensions of the bits on the Macro to make it scale better. I also added an inner lip on the Macro so you can put red lenses on the eye side of it. Let me know if there's any other edits you guys can think of and I'll try to pick them up! Happy to help! I like these small piece projects. If there's any other props that Spec Ops folks are having trouble sourcing, please let me know and I can take a shot at it. I'm still working on the Forest Trooper in the background but 3D modeling is much easier than painting for me.

Nice! I was thinking it would glued in place after painting so I left some room since I didn't see any location to tighten or flex the ring on the CRL. Scaling down in slicer and sanding it to fit would be good if you plan to pull it out and put it back for photos/poses.

These were my files, I can touch them up if you give me some pointers on size. The items are a little inconsistent in the comics so I just eyeballed it from the CRL. The Macro should print easy since its hollow and then you can trim a piece of red see-through plastic and glue it to the lip I place at the front. I can change the facets to rounded edges, it looked like a sharp edge to me just as easy either way.

Aloha guys! I stumbled in here and always thought this was a cool CRL. They looked like simple parts so I put something together. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7033021

I gave my least favorite part (the knees) a make over based on your recommendation. I watered down the sponging to give it a less splotchy look and I really like how it came it out. Please let me know what you think and I can give the other smaller pieces a go. New: Game: Old:

Right on, thanks! I was getting crushed by work for a few weeks but back at the hobby for now. For the details, I think my concern was just whether the intent was to let grey details be acceptable for L1, since it's only required to be correct (black) in the L2 language. No problem either way to me! For the paint, the graphics from the game are really old and not detailed so I felt extrapolating the "splotchy" that's pretty clear on the bigger and more detailed items would be the intent. If the team feels different, please let me know which part you think is the least accurate and I'll give it a repaint to test another style and see what you guys think. Here's the boots, I don't see anything in the Draft CRL that would prevent the soles from L1 approval but open to input! I've still got to make the toes cleaner if the sole is okay.

I got the original cod & shoulder loops painted camo. Nose & blinders painted black to match decals. Just need to get some legit vinyl and I'll redo the boots and take new photos.

Thanks for the review! I'm not gunning for L2 with this old kit, I would be extremely happy to be the CRL for a bit and then have someone else make a sweet L2 and take new photos. As for the boots, the leather-like material I had on hand did not stretch like I wanted, I'll redo with vinyl. Please let me know on the base of the boots, I didn't see anything in the draft CRL that would prevent this pair from L1 but these were not my original Scout Boots. The reference photos for the Forest Trooper makes it look like it's a narrower codpiece than typical, so I emulated the old codpiece I had (I got it used) with a covering. After looking at my photos though, I don't like the olive green shoulder and cod as much as I thought I would. I think they stand out too much. I'll paint the original black codpiece to match the armor like the L2 suggestion. The original stitching will show through better that way and the materials will be the exact same. I agree, I was attempting to follow the draft CRL where it says "Scout style details are present, either painted or decals." I thought adding my old decals would be the best way to do that, but I ended up trimming the sides off the snout details and painting the back trapezoids all black to get closer and that still wasn't quite enough. I might as well add the black blinder symbol on both sides of the blinders if I'm doing it! Perhaps adding some text to the draft CRL along the lines of this would help inform GMLs: "Grey details are revised to be either without the grey or entirely black. The grey should be removed from above the snout area and the trapezoids in the back should be entirely black."

More photos! Since many CRLs reuse images from other CRLs, if you guys do end up liking the armor, I'd still recommend reusing the following from the Shadow Scout CRL: Balaclava, Flight Suit, Gloves, Vest, Neck Seal, & Blasters.

Sounds good! Any rework on the boots is a-okay with me since I've got plenty of extra materials.

Boots done! What do you guys think? Action pose:

Unfortunately, my Scout Boots were awful and need some major rework so I put the project on hold for a week. Today was just a trial to see how things look together so no Balaclava/gloves/detonator/shoes(lol) but things are looking pretty good. Once the boots are done, I'll do another suit up correctly. I know I blend right into the tree behind me, but trust me, I'm in the photos.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I did some minor touch ups to paint the details and reveal some white underneath the paint with sandpaper while my girlfriend stitched the cod+shoulder covers & misc black webbing. Everything is just about good to go for a test fit once some E6000 dries tomorrow. If it all fits well then I'll just have to work on my nemesis - Scout Boots!
