The back of the chest and tank. Yes, the tank is a separate part from the back. https://www.thingive...m/thing:2984022 [/url]

The armor is finally done. Unless I run into any weirdness of parts not fitting correctly and need adjustment. Here's the front of the chest https://www.thingive...m/thing:2984080

It's nearing completion. I only have the front done. I'm currently working on the back and tank but it should be done very soon. I'll get the front uploaded today so you can start working on it. I'll update this post as soon as it's up.

Snout Greeble. I don't have any plans to model the helmet but the snout is easy enough and useful for many folks. https://www.thingive...m/thing:2967563

Tank Topper https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2931836

Knees finally done. The chest should be finalized this weekend (hopefully) and then all that's left is the back.

These models are based on measurements taken from my SC armor as well as some measurements from the Strider armor. I'm trying to get as close to screen accurate models and dimensions as possible. This way larger/smaller folks can scale accordingly.

Finally got the blaster finished. I'm awaiting approval of a printed model before uploading though. Hopefully it will be up shortly for everyone.

I've finally started uploading some of the armor parts.

TD Greebles * I had to leave the outlines showing so you can see the details. *

Thanks. Your Iron Man suit is amazing. The detail gives me anxiety thinking about making those models.

And the Thermal Detonator. This is made up of several parts. The smooth black tube will be covered by the extension cord wrapping since this is as close to screen accurate as we know right now. The end caps are also concave as well. I have also added small reinforced tubes with holes to screw the TD belt clips into since this is a notorious problem with the clips not being terribly secure to the tubing. I still need to work on the detail parts though but everything is correctly sized to be able to use the current resin casts that are widely available. There are 2 versions. One that is completely screen accurate and a second which has a back plate to make for easier mounting on the belt. I use internal magnets on my belt so my TD stays in place and this gives me a mounting point on the back plate. while still looking completely screen accurate from the visible side.

I had some time to make some new parts finally. First the Holster. * Note the RED pegs are just placeholders and will have holes where they are for rivets. *

I also found those 3D models on Thingiverse and it's partially what got me to start this project. I was hoping to make something that was printable as well as being good enough for Lancer approval. It also allows me to scale the armor for smaller and larger people.

This is great stuff.

Chest from the front and inside. This is going to have to take a little bit of sanding to smooth down the sharpness on the front are that sticks out, but ultimately the whole thing is going to be sanded and filled to get rid of the printing ridges before painting.

Hip Box v2

I think I see what you're saying here. The top part with the curve needs to be angled down towards the back The part against the thigh). The edges need to be rounded off a little bit as well as a slight shortening of the overall length. If you know of anywhere that I can find better reference photos of the top of the boxes that would help. This is always a really odd angle to see in photos.

Front of the chest almost done, still needs a little work.

I've been working on making models of the Scout armor pieces for 3D printing. This originally started as a project so that our smaller and larger Scouts could have something that was scalable to better fit their sizes. It's quite a process for me to learn how to use the software to make these models, but I think it's coming along fairly well so far. I'm trying to get as close to the screen used armor as I can, but obviously nothing is going to be perfect. Not sure how long all this will take, but I'm plugging away at at.

Congrats. Another SoCal Lancer is always an awesome thing.

Congrats. The more Lancers the better.

Thanks everyone, this forum has been indispensable for the last 9 months of building and taking my first steps into the 501st.

Superb. Thank you all very much. This made my day.
