Hi all,
Long time TI, IG and ID deciding to go for a bit more armour.
Building a shore squad leader, since it seems to provide the greatest range of motion. I don't imagine this will be a quick build, but you are welcome to watch me muddle my way along.
Currently I have the the orca bay boots and the E22 printed and primed black.
This has been a very slow start, I bought the HSP kit, and after 18 months it finally arrived. (This is after a 6 month debacle with someone rotocasting the bucket and no shipping, but I won't name him here as We all know who he was) I have not brought the rest of the soft parts yet as I had to hold funds back to finish paying HSP and it was always coming soon.
I plan to start with the bucket, order the pants and do the legs next.
Today I got a bit of a start drilling out the extra resin on the bucket, now I can see.
I do not have a visor yet, so I will need to take out a bit more to fit it. Planning to try ordering one from Mr. Paul and fitting it.
So far, the HSP kit is of two minds. The resin parts are nice, and fairly crisp. The kit did not come with the belt cover for the back, but they should be fairly easy to make. The only disappointment so far is the back plate, which is only lvl one and missing the lvl 2 details. The pull is also a little soft on the edges. I may try and model the lvl 2 details in when I get there, but that will be a long time from now.
my next steps, order pants, visor, paint for the bucket.
