Mimban here. The ability to go with or without a backpack is indeed huge. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I'm not too familiar with the OT versions of stormtroopers, but the Mimban uses the Rogue One style armor. It's quite different than the OT style. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Does anyone have the SWCC group photo that was taken? There weren't many of us but it would be a cool photo to see Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks! If you're on Facebook, ask the Mimban Fam group. There's a couple Aussies on there that have them. I could have sworn they sourced them from Ebay though... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Did anyone ever post the group photo anywhere? I can't find it if it was. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Yes. I painted the whole kit and then added the acrylics. I put a good layer of clear coat on top of the white too so when I sanded down the "mud" I wouldn't cut into the white as much. I used rustoleum high performance white. I almost wanted to just make a rogue one stormtrooper because it looked really good bright white! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hi Scott! I'm hoping to see more pop up. At Celebration, there was me and maybe one other this year. I'm glad to see you go with Jim's kit! Easy kit to work with and the rogue one armor really makes the mimban look great in my opinion. I used a combination of acrylic paints on mine. I mixed grey and mars black 50/50ish and then added some burnt umber. I used this as a light wash and then slowly built it up, dabbing it off with an old t shirt. Then I used the same mix with way less water to add the thicker areas. I then dabbed some Vallejo Russian mud splash paint around. I sanded it off and reapplied quite a bit. The lower armor is thicker than the top. After that I wet each piece down and used mars black mixed with water and sprayed it out of a spray bottle. It will then run and dry over time. It worked for me! The important thing is to not go too crazy with the thick areas

Final edition of my Mimban. Removed a bunch of mud to lighten it up. It was a huge hit at Celebration! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Sadly, I do not. I really wish I did though. If you need any help I can offer my two cents where you need it... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Jim's helmet came separate from the blast shield. I just had to trim the sides to fit. It wasn't too hard! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I don't know what this is but I know that I need one now lol Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks. I have not heard anything from Dutchy. It sounds pretty involved to me so I'm starting to understand why these things take so long to get published. Hopefully soon. I'm going to be out of the country for the winter so was hoping to be one of the first to go through the applications. As long as it's done by celebration I'll be happy though!

Thank you!

Finally brave enough to show my work in public! Just in time for Halloween! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I added a plash to the backpack and adjusted everything a bit. I absolutely can't wait to wear this kit out and about. Also can't wait to apply for my first 501st costume approval! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank's and that's good news! Thank you for getting it done! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Yes it is a Jim Tripon kit! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hello! Tom he from Kansas City. I just joined the page and am not 501st yet. I'm currently waiting on the mimban crl! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Can't wait to take that hill troopers! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hello! I know the crl is in development, but I wanted to share some pictures to see if anyone has any advice on how my armor looks and is strapped. I've never done a 501st costume of put anything before the GMLs for approval before so any help would be appreciated! I already know there are a couple of adjustments like bringing up the pack and fastening my shoulder bells down. Also forgot a hand plate on the one without the pack.
