  1. Oh, I see it now. Thank you very much! Is that after dying it four time? It still looks green. You used the dye for natural fabrics though right? Thank you for the info. I would have tried it once and thought it wouldn't work or that I did something wrong. Now I know to just keep at it.
  2. I just put some water on it and it seems to be water repellent. I also saturated a small area and it did soak up the water. Ill give it a try with the RIT Black hopefully this weekend. Or do you think I should try to pretreat it with something?
  3. https://www.ebay.com/itm/USSR-Original-Soviet-Russian-Army-WWII-Type-Soldier-Field-Canvas-cloak-tent-NEW-/282650413570?txnId=2005479608018 Thanks for the info, I didn't know that about wool.
  4. So it took a little less than a month for shipping from Russia to get this. I would like to make this trooper eventually and have many questions. First off, this thing is much bigger (and heavier) than I thought it would be. Its about 65" x 65". When I first tried it on I noticed it drags the ground. Then I thought, there must be a way to make it shorter and noticed that I can attach the bottom to the middle like so. Which makes me believe thats the inside so its hidden away. Leaving the top to hang down like a hood. Second, how is this thing supposed to sit? I'm pretty sure I figured out how it attaches, tied to my sholder straps. The reference photos I have dont really show too may details/ stitching etc. Its hard to tell what side to wear it on. Anyone have any reference photos from the back without a backpack on? My assumption is that it's made of wool so I'm not exactly sure how I want to dye it. This is what I have on hand at the moment so I may have to go out and buy another black RIT for natural Fabrics. Let me know what you use to dye yours. My next question is, what are we using for weathering/mud? Acrylic paints, spray paints or maybe something thicker?
  5. Yes! Everything has been submitted, just waiting for it to go live any day now.
  6. I finally took this costume out for a troop on the beach. We made a video to promote trash pickup awareness. I had a few things go wrong, including my vocoder falling off and having to superglue it back on and the velcro not holding together to keep my ankles tight together. I think I'm going to replace that with snaps. Surprisingly although the helmet is so small, I was able to fit my fans in there so I wasn't dying or fogging up with the warm humid weather.
  7. Thank you so much Photos inbound! Photos sent to Dutchy as well
  8. I couldn't be happier right now Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure or 501st approved costume?
  9. This is some excellent work, you photos look amazing! I wish you were the crl model
  10. Eventually I'll be offering them for sale. I need to fine tune the molds a little better first.
  11. I'm so close to finishing my helmet. As you can see the bobblehead problem is no more. I just need to finish painting. I'm having a bit of trouble matching the white on my armor but I think after I put a little weathering on it won't be noticeable. The last thing I need to do is make a mold for the vocoder. I'm really looking forward to buttoning this project up.
  12. Sculpt is done! Its by no means perfect, but I'm happy with it. Every time I touched it i was changing something and at some point you just have to stop and say "enough is enough". Now I'm molding. This is all so new to me and I'm super nervous to ruin what I've been working on for so long.
  13. After looking extensively online for reference photos I stumbled across this. This was from the space port on Corellia. Now, I know there is no CRL for this yet but I would imagine it would be under FISD and not MEPD because he are clean. I'm not going to lie, its pretty boss that he is carrying an E-22.
  14. Oh, and I got this sweet flashlight for night ops!
  15. Some small side notes if anyone is interested. I would love to be the CRL model for the Crystal Patrol Trooper as well. I have the pack and orange pauldron ready, I just really want to finish up this new helmet mold first to have for the photos.
  16. Hi all! After obsessing overreference photos and comparing my costume I came to two conclusions. One, my Black series helmet makes me look like a bobblehead. And two, it is missing some of the details from the scene used helmets. I know jimmiroquai makes a helmet as well but from what i can tell, it looks like a recast of the Black Series with some small differences. Which doesn't help my size problem. So about seven months ago I decided to start working on my own helmet sculpt. Unfortunately life got in the way more than once and I have had to start and stop this thing several times. Within the last month I have made some good progress and I thought I'd share. Please remember this is still a work in progress and there are still many areas that need to be finalized, so don't look to hard at the vocoder its just temporary. I know I need to clean up the eyes and frown, but I'm very happy with the proportions. And that last photo is to give you an idea of the size difference compared to my ATA helmet. Today I ordered everything I need to make a mold and start casting. I hope to have a prototype in a month. That may be wishful thinking, we shall see. So, what do you guys think? Please be soft with me, I have a hard time with criticism. I normally don't post unfinished projects.
  17. Wow, 2-3/8! See I would have guessed less. Thank you. Very helpful. I'm going to go check out your build thread to see what i can find.
  18. I mean the chest to ab straps and brackets. I've looked in a few people seem to be vague about the exact measurements. I dont have any of the brackets and i don't want to mess this up
  19. Im looking to go PO. I was told the screws must be present but dont need to be functional. Could someone direct me to a thread or just let me know exactly how far apart the holes need to be. How far from the ends of the chest they need to start. A diagram would be helpful, just saying. I dont want to start drilling holes and be off ya know.
  20. I cant answer your first question. But is my understanding that the screws dont need to be functional.
  21. Anyone else notice the pauldron has a slight difference shape and pattern than ours?
  22. This is some really great work. I love the details you put into it. The only criticism I have is that the bed roll still looks too puffy, and has a bit too many folds from too much fabric. I'm the CRL Model for the Jedha Trooper and I was going to do the other as well (as I have the crystal pack) but I just cant seem to get my helmet redesign off the ground. Good luck!
  23. Did anyone see any in Solo? I don't remember seeing any but I've only seen it a few times.
  24. The top two images are the only i could find, so if you have one feel free to send it my way. So the first thing i noticed (other than the black stock of course) was that the ribs start a little be further down the barrel as we are used to. After the second strip and not the first. I also noticed that other than the ribs it has no greebles. Its too blurry to see so i assume the flashlight is the standard one that we see on the E-11s. I think its interesting that the strap is attached to the top on what looks like both ends. The other image dosen't have a strap at all. With this image i noticed that the rear sight seems to have been taken off and filed down or changed to be more low profile. Also, i don't mean to get too critical but the main barrel seems to be thinner that some of our home made props.
