Huge update!! Just got my shoretropper squad leader approved!! Thanks so much for all the help 🥰!!

Thanks so much for the velcro Tip! I Think ill go that way

Hey!! soooo... huge update since my last post! Kit mostly finished. Had a convention event and CO let me troop with my unfinished kit, still had quite a few missing pieces: Right grieve was missing the ski strapmissing shirt Left grieve was missing 2 Square pieces on the front Kama Neckseal Shirt Back plate was unfinished 😰 I did use my stormtrooper soft parts, and repainted helmet with Montana Gold so it looks more on par with the rest of the armor. Overall the trooping went well, need some adjustments with strapping. How do you guys keep the grieve straps on place? I had glued them with e6000 and mostly worked but on the third day of the convention one of the straps just came off (I guess from using it 3 days in a row could have worn out the glue 😅) Right now I finished most of the missing parts, still working on the backplate, Neckseal and Shirt are done and working on the Kama right now. Looking at the pics, the foam pieces on the chest seem to be a bit big so i might do some trimming, what do you guys Think? also do you see any additional adjustments I should do before submitting for basic approval? Right now out of Town will take more pies of the kit when im done with the back. thanks and have a great start of this holiday season 🎄🎄

Handplates, dropboxes (still need weathering) and chest piece I've seen that Sean Field's center buckle needs some changes I've found an updated STL but I still have a question...the CRL has a completely different center piece, are both Versions appovable? For the chest piece i saw somewhere that the SF files need a bit of modding, mainly widen the center and side lines/gaps, is this mod mandatory fo basic approval, does anyone have the correct size? any info would be great thanks

Shoulder Bells, Bíceps and Forearms:

ABDOMEN I made a mistake and glued the side parts upside down, so I had to remove them and re-glue them the correct way, now I need to re paint the parts where they connect

Thanks so much Larcwide! I already printed most of the boxes but still haven't done the belt Assembly with the fabric, thanks for the post will definitely check it out!! Ill start with helmet pictures! As stated above this was my first part of the armor, its a 850 armor works helmet, still needs a visor, not sure if I overdid the weathering 😅 HELMET

Hey all!! TK-99901 reporting to the PathFinders Detachment 😃 In finally decided to publish my WIP of my Shoretrooper SL, I am using Sean Field's files, I know they are not the most accurate out there and that I will need to do some mods specially on the back part 😅 I'm still somewhat new to 3d printing, my first print was the E-22 Blaster.. after learning the printing process, filling, sanding and painting I decided to start printing the armor, I do have some experience building armor, I got a Stormtrooper Commander in Centurion level so I am kind of used to getting my hands dirty in the build. I'll be using this thread not only to show my work in Progress but also as my to-do list. I live in Colombia and the colors have been a pain to get right, however I managed to get a couple of Sahara beige cans without TSA and airport staff noticing, hopefully I'll have enough for the whole armor 🤞 Shoretrooper hard parts: Helmet ✅ - 850 armor work (first piece I got, way before buying a 3d printer, maybe will replace with Nico's 3d file in the future) Abdomen ✅ - Printed & painted (needs paint fix) Shoulder bells ✅ - Printed & painted Biceps ✅ - Printed & painted (needs yellow detail) Forearms ✅ - Printed & painted Hand plates ✅ - Printed & painted (used the Thingiverse files with the slot in front) Kidney ✅ - Printed & painted Belt boxes ✅ - Printed & painted (still unsure sure which center buckle is correct 😔) Rear belt plate ✅ - Printed & painted Greaves ✅- Printed & painted Chest plate ✅ - Printed & painted (Still need the rubor connectors) Back plate ☠️ - Printing Shoretrooper soft parts: Gloves ✅ - Endor finders Boots ✅ - Custom made Neckseal ✅ - Will try to do it myself Shirt ✅ - Will try to do it myself (got the fabric, will need a long sleeve template to sew, still unsure sure which shirt is approvable right now) Belt ✅ - Made Kama ☠️ - Will try to follow Larcwide's guide Trousers ☠️ - Will try to follow Larcwide's guide I will start with this post and later start adding pictures of the parts I already got and the ones I am working on. I would extremely appreciate comments, recommendations and tips from you guys!! thanks so much in advace 😄

Chris! thanks so much for sharing your settings, just like you said it depends from machine to machine and its quite a learning curve to find the right settings for printing. Also thanks for reviewing some of the files specially the hand plates I did see that the CRL clearly states the slot in them, thanks for the link. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your build Thanks again!

Hey! thanks for the response I am only going for basic approval since its impossible to get Sahara beige and other colors where I live, therefore Im very happy to hear that Sean fields are OK for basic 😄 Hey would you mind sharing your printing settings? Thanks.

Hey!!! Amazing build so far! I just wanted to confirm that you are using only Sean Fields files right? I am too starting out this project and just wanted to make sure that his files are still good for basic approval! Cheers! and keep up your amazing WIP

Hey James! Great thread and amazing build!! just wondering if you still have the pigment codes you used for the Sahara beige color, where I live Montana Gold doesn't ship either so I have to do exactly the same thing you didi in order to get the best matching color. I would greatly appreciate if you could help a brother out, thanks
