TB-3831's General Weir Build


Recommended Posts

I'm going to be 3D-printing my build, the main files will be MrPoopie's TB files from the Pathfinder forums, I used these to get my JFO Scout approved.

Did the biceps first, they were one of the most troublesome pieces to smooth out from past experience, so getting these out of the way first.  Main bicep printed with PLA filament, the T-bit resin printed.  A few layers and sanding of filler primer, Rustoleum gloss black and apple red.

A few days later and a couple more pieces printed, working with filler primer and getting the first forearm piece worked on.  Also the webbing for the bandolier just arrived, have 1" wide and 2" wide as per the CRL instructions.

hmmm...You know, I DO have a spare scout lid.  3d printable files? for a trooper?  Man, that sounds do able, after I print my ICAT driver.

Biceps printed and painted, first forearm piece printed and painted.  Also starting to 3D print the bandolier pieces in resin.
Something I noticed, the CRL says to use 1" webbing for the front, but that seems to be a bit thin.  Also, the files have an opening for 1.25" webbing.

Had a few other projects going, but starting to get back into this with black filament.  Printing out the bucket, doing it in black filament but will still do black semi-gloss paint after all the print lines are smoothed out.

I found some red nylon webbing that fits through the slots perfectly.  Finding that the resin, while it looks great, is a bit more weighted.  I have enough of the webbing to try for 2 bandoliers, so the next will be printed using filament.

That is nice! Where'd you get the red nylon webbing from?

I found it on Amazon, had to purchase it alongside 7 other colors but it was the only way to get Red in the right width.  Suppose I could do a non-approved bandolier with pink for cancer awareness special events, but not sure what to do about the other six colors.  The amount I got has enough for the fronts of 2 bandolier sets of the right color.

You'll need a new helmet, biceps and belt, but the rest should be interchangeable.  I was thinking of doing the same actually.

They were my thoughts alright. I might look into trying to source interchangable lenses for my bucket.

I'm having a close look at it appears the lens colour is the difference between a Scout and General Weir? (Also Weir doesn't have the "Accurate rear helmet "bar code" striping pattern").

I admit I was also thinking doing a Weir means access to two different costumes, also the ability to carry two (canon) different heavy blasters at times...

Tom, the lens for General Weir is indeed red/red mirrored and that coloration is not on the Shadow Scout. However, that is an easily swappable item if you use Velcro or the like for the lenses on the inside of the helmet.

The accurate rear helmet bar code stripping pattern is a L2 detail, so unless you are going for Specialist level, it wouldn't need to be a thing to worry about.
