Before anyone asks, I didn't have the time to print the accurate blaster yet. But the costume looked pretty cool with the Aldani E10S Here is an even better picture where you can see the progress. He's wearing a cheap China officer tunic as soft parts with regular straight pants, not quite sure where to get the jump-suite and we ordered an accurate hat from a tailor booth at the convention. So all in all, I'm quite happy how the thing is starting to turn out. I know that I completely undersized the collar, that has to be also redone...but I think I'm on the right path.

So mine is a wild mix of Darth Berry, Patrol Trooper, Shore Trooper and Mud Trooper parts, i know that I need to redo the back because the hose connectors are not angled. My son took the costume to Noris Force Con in Germany last weekend and had a blast. We're by far not screen accurate yet, but people were excited to see the ISB Tactical Trooper already represented at the con. It's the first armor I'm building and I'm learning a lot, I will have to redo some of the strapping.

OK, printed everything, sanded like crazy and I'm now in the process of painting. I'll post some photos later. When I'm done with painting do I use a satin or gloss varnish to protect the painting and do I age/battle damage before or after the varnish?

Something totally different, I printed the gauntlets by DarthBerry from thingiverse today which are great. But even better, he uploaded STLs for the back-buckle and the toe armor. So cool! If he's around here and sees this, thank you so much!

Totally possible, I'm in no regard familiar with the mudtrooper armor. I just realized, that the STL files I printed had non-angled hose connectors

Thx for the offer, but got the backplate already assembled and filled this morning. I will first try to grind them down and see if it looks good, if not, I will come back to you

Thx! That was just a cut and paste mistake. What I also realized yesterday evening is, that I do not only have to shorten the hose connectors on the backplate, but give them an angle. That's going to be painful.

I'm building this armor for my 13 year old son, he's 181cm/ 71,25 inches I have a 3D Printer, so I try to produce most of the parts myself: Hat: Already have one around from my Tie Pilot, I think I got it from Argentina back in the days Chest Armor: https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/mode/imperial-army-mudtrooper-armor-set already printed, ready for filling and sanding Back Armor: https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/mode/imperial-army-mudtrooper-armor-set already printed, after staring intensely at my TV, I'm sure I have to shorten the hose connectors Shoulder Bells: https://galacticarmory.net/collections/3d-files/products/rogue-one-shoretrooper-armor-3d-print-files Biceps: https://galacticarmory.net/collections/3d-files/products/rogue-one-shoretrooper-armor-3d-print-files Gauntlets: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7049441 Shins: https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/mode/imperial-army-mudtrooper-armor-set already printed Boot Armor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7050487 White Belt: 2" White Leather Silver Belt Buckle: Etsy White Belt Boxes: https://galacticarmory.net/collections/3d-files/products/rogue-one-shoretrooper-armor-3d-print-fileswill see what fits best and add the horizontal stripe manually Black Tactical Belt: 2" Black Nylon Belt Boxes: https://galacticarmory.net/collections/3d-files/products/rogue-one-shoretrooper-armor-3d-print-files will see what fits best and add the horizontal stripe manually Belt Rear Box: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7050492 Tunic & Pants: here I will go cheap, since my 13 year old will probably outgrow whatever I will buy for him Boots: German Jack Boots Gloves: Etsy Chest Radio: https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/gadget/syril-karn-shoulder-communicator-from-star-wars-andor
