Vanedor Build Thread

Today I received my hard parts from Walt's trooper Factory and I wanted to share some pictures of them with you.

 

 

As you can see, it includes the greaves, that aren't needed for the Aldhani version, and the helmet. 

It includes the round greeblies on each side of the helmet but in plastic. I already have some in metal that will look much better instead.

There are some pieces that I'm still not sure what they are about but Walt is pretty helpful.

It's the first time I work on a plastic costume that needs to be fully painted. I wonder, what sort & color of primers would you recommend?

Following the great job by @sonfield, I have ordered three cans of Anthracite Montana Gold paint. I hope it's enough. They aren't easy to find, in Canada.

I have been working with Magmel ( https://www.facebook.com/magmelcreations ) to get some accurate belt boxes using the info Fraser gave.

Thank you Simon! I see the top of the knee greeve in the plastic bits.

My tailor has finished working on my Imperial Boot suit. It was way too large. Much better, now.

I've also added the belt loops. Btw, the belt itself was just for the test. It isn't the belt I'm going to use with this costume.
