They're not. They just look that way in the waiting room. We used screencaps from the game to determine colors.

I've noticed that you get better screen caps of the characters in game rather than in the waiting room, as it is extremely dark in there and hard to see. I am going to start a new thread for this CRL in the Pending CRL section, along with language copied over from the Officer that we can use as a basis for a rewrite. I'm guessing they are all gray as well.

Hey Colin! No one has attempted this one yet. I'll be happy to help guide you along in the process of making this a new CRL! Given that this year is the 20th anniversary of the Kashyyyk Trooper, now seems a great time. @yoshix made the Officer, so it may be helpful to ask his advice.

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, I would like to wish you all a Happy and Safe New Year! Compared to 2023, 2024 was a quiet year for our Detachment. But 2025 promises to be another big year for the Pathfinders, as we have both the 20th Anniversary of the Kashyyyk Trooper and the 25th Anniversary of the Detachment! In April will be Celebration Japan and following that the second season of "Andor", which hopefully has some more love for both Shores and Scouts! But for now, enjoy your time with family and friends! Pathfinders Lead the Way in 2025!

Awesome. I think that's your best option. However, even if the molding was correct in the back, don't forget you are still missing the extra layer strip that goes over the cover strip! Usually just gluing down a strip of ABS over the cover strip gets the job done

Hey buddy! We are all talking about this right now. What kit maker is this?

Skull Garrison added! Thanks @Schizo

Personally, I don't think black wash looks good. The film ones weren't done that way. I did my first iteration with black wash and I was pretty unhappy with it. I ended up repainting the whole thing, and then adding the weathering with acrylic paint. Mostly Burnt Siennas, browns and blacks. I would smear it onto the seams and then knock it back with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. I was much happier with the results Blackwash Weathering with acrylics

I mean I totally get that, but I wouldn't get too hung up on having a perfection paint job, because you're going to be weathering the heck out of this thing when you're done

It's a very different paint than most of us are used to, that's for sure. Because they are made specifically for graffiti, you really got to get in close and go slow with them.

Normally I would say get Armorsmith and use that to size it to yourself, but I just checked their website and the link is currently dead. What I've also done is just concentrate on one piece, like a forearm or something, and then get that sized. Once you have the percentage to that, apply it to the rest of the gear.

Hi Alex! I'm a fellow Shoretrooper Captain and I think you've done a really great job with your build. You get those fitment issues sorted out and I think you'll have an easy time with approval!

After the past few years of doing Pathfinders PR as head of Recon Fatale, @Jennk182 has decided to step down so she can concentrate on other things! I'm sure she has her hands full with Imperial Scottish Garrison Thank you, Jenn, for your leadership of Recon Fatale these past few years and putting a spotlight on the ladies of the 501st Pathfinders! Stepping into that role is none other than @Feliscout, Sarah Silverman-Pucci! Besides being a 15 YEAR member of the 501st Legion as of 2024, Sarah is also one of the very few Pathfinders to have reached Ranger status. Her enthusiasm for the Pathfinders and Recon Fatale made her a natural pick to be its new chief! Sarah will be in charge of the Recon Fatale social media, so if you have pics you want shared, she is the Pathfinder to talk to! Let's give a big hand to Sarah and Jenn!

Hi Paul, welcome to the Pathfinders forum Plenty of trooper have been approved with Sean's files, and he has been updating them ever since he first released them. @Tarok is right though, check out Stoo's Shoretrooper Shack for the latest info on available 3D files. He has done a really good job curating them https://shoretrooper.co.uk/

Looks like you used an airbrush? Not my technique of choice when it comes to the Shore, but I wouldn't call what you did overdone. I'd say it's the right amount.

I should just point out that WTF has redone their Scout. It is more accurate to ROTJ than their original offering (which was used on the TV show).
