Sorry I missed this! We have a few troopers around that area. We're working on a WTF build right now up here in the Upper Peninsula. How far along have you gotten? I can reach out to some other members closer to you in the lower Peninsula.

You guys do a great job - keep up the great work, review team!

So our variable seems to be that the "Spicy Orange" might be different wherever you get it mixed, which isn't surprising. Based on the mix that has been circulating here in the states from ST-21006, it seems to be more orange than what you're showing here. At this point, I could spray 3 of the same oranges on a piece of paper and we'd all be arguing over which one is the "spiciest". Good info here!

Just adding to this some almost a year and some later - I did a comparison of the "Spicy Orange" sourced from a scan by Heather Duncan, ST 21006. Here is that paint (brushed) compared to the Montana Gold Shock Orange Dark color, painted over Sahara Beige. I'd be hard pressed to say that Red Orange is a better fit, but when I aquire the Red Orange, I'll do the comparison within this set too.

Super bummed to not be at Celebration this year, but looking forward to another great year. Thanks for the work, troopers!

Where did you get the kit?

Probably the best look we have thus far:

Congrats Mickey - let's rep those Pathfinders hard in Chicago!

Someone get that trooper some new boots! Surely his soles are worn. Nice job, Cap!

Congrats, Lancer! Your dedication to the mission of the Empire has been recognized! Please also note: Your spouse might not think it's as cool as you do.....or uh...was it just me?

READY TO SERVE, CAP! Seriously, this community rules and I absolutely love seeing all the research, conversation and work that goes into making these suits that honor the original designers of this iconic costume. Let's have a blue milk at Celebration! Thanks to BikerScout007, Stasz and RetroFire for helping me along. PATHFINDERS LEAD!

Ok - first things first: Blaster filled in: Now the new bund/suit up: Back with updates: Sides: "Outside the bunker":

Hey Retrofire - here is the new bund with proper lines and stitching, adjustments to the back (raised) and cod. Let me know if these are checked off - thanks for your eyes!

Retrofire, thanks for the great detail. I’ll get this up to code as quickly as I can. I should also apologize for the initial fully suited up photos and shifting of armor, those were taken right after a troop - would you like me to do a full resubmit or just the issues addressed for approval? Thank you!

Also Strider, I totally spaced on the blaster barrel. Here's the fill in:
