Thanks for sharing your work-in-progress with us, Justin!

You have done a really great job. I really like your shoulder bell, in particular. The paint job seems really accurate. Good job with the dying of the costume. I hope mine is going to be as successful as your 🙂

As for the not-so-positive... The boots you have seem to be the tall jackboots from IB. When I compare them with the screenshots, they seem a little too high to me but that's probably no big deal.

Another thing is that your gloves seem to have some decorative stitches. In the CRL we have been working on so far, it mentions that they shouldn't have any.

With the belt boxes you already mention, it's the only things I have noticed

Yeah he mentioned on the other thread that they weren't the accurate boots/gloves. Although for the boots I have seen a seller on Ebay have those boots. I bought them and they seem pretty accurate. Only small change would be to darken the stitching.

That's it? Did you use Soda Ash for the Fixator?

[sonfield[TX]]

Yes. These are all “standing in” right now. also, I have the boots, just need to dig them out 😂😂. Gloves are on the way. Need to print some resin boxes for the belt.

I just did the instructions.  There is about a half a cup of salt you add, but that is it.  I do recommend keeping the temperature high though.  that does seem to matter a bit

So it’s just add the pack and salt to a washing machine on high temp and go? Sorry I have never done this before

Oh yeah, this was the link that I found the boots:

Damn mate! Where'd you get yours?

[sonfield[TX]]

Chris Bostock.  I believe it is his remix of Seans file.  I made this as a test print.  Believe a final will be released on thingiverse.
