ScoutSi Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This is a cross post of my Sandtrooper WIP from my garrison foums, i decided to put it here after getting to a point where Im at the final hurdle. The backpack and E-11 are done and Ive already done a WIP for the MG15 that can be found here:http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=11850 First post is from last year - see latest post for current progressAt first I was rebuilding an set of SDS armour, but I wasnt happy with the way it was built or the accuracy so I decided to buy a new set from the guys at RS Props, as I already have the RS helmet. Its local to me so I nipped down to their workshop and got fitted up for a suit.With the help of the guys at RS, Ive got my armour built:Shin closureBootsDid a quick test fit to see how it felt, and it needs a slight bit of adjustment, but not too much. Had to raise the biceps a touch, and I still need to get a hairdryer and shape the butt piece a little to stop it flaring outThis is just a test fit of the armour before adding all the extras:ThanksSi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutSi Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Finally some progress! Been busy getting the house ready for an imminent baby arrival but I've been chipping away at this build here and there - Armour is now weathered using the good old Woodland Scenics method, and after many many layers i'm hopefully done - Pack is built but needs weathering - Pauldron needs weathering Took a load of pics but it was really bright today so everything looks a little lighter than it actually is Pouches Pack and pauldron (not yet weathered) Managed to snag a real tupperware dish Apologies for the shed load of pictures, but its been several months of work condensed into one post Tomorrow will be dirtying up the pack and pauldron, then suiting up for some pre-clearance pics so i can check it and make sure the fitment is still ok I'd appreciate and advice/comments/criticism Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice work Si. That weathering is nicely done, maybe a little more detailing could be added, but still looking very nice indeed. Did you say you've posted this up on the UKG? I'll take a look over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutSi Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Some more progress today, I've managed to finish the weathering on the backpack and Pauldron: Apologies for pic quality - took on the wifes iphone Had a quick suit up to check fitting etc : One for a laugh I can walk fine although i didnt think i'd be able to as the gap between thigh and shins isn't as big as it is on my TK. Just need to shape the butt plate a little more with the hairdryer too Any advice to see what else needs doing? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
