I think I've see the patterns for the boxes, but did you have files for the prints you made to wrap the leather around?

I've wanted to do this build since I saw it in Solo. I've been busy trying to finish a Shadow Scout for the past year. I've been on here a lot as you all have much better write ups about scout builds compared to SpecOps. I was recently offered a Resin cast PT helmet and that spiked my interest in this build again, so I jumped on the few items that @BikerScout007 had that I could fit in. So now that I have a helmet, boots, and gloves, it was time to start grabbing more stuff to make this happen. I bought @MrPoopie's files so I can start printing the armor on my Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, and my CR-10 S5. I'll be printing them in PETG as I don't have any enclosures. I'll also be ordering my pants from Uniform Warehouse per many recommendations. The jacket and belt were my biggest hang up. I recently was contacted by a prop maker named "Galactic Props" on Facebook and they said they could make the jacket to meet the Level 2 requirements, so I've taken a risk and ordered. As for the Belts and Belt boxes, I've gotten some recommendations and will be looking into those. So break down. Softgoods: Jacket - Galactic Props (https://www.facebook.com/galactic.props.2025) Pants - Uniform Warehouse (https://bit.ly/3GvRCGw) Gloves - Endor Finders Boots - Amazon (https://amzn.to/4lYQg7A) Belt - TBD Belt boxes - TBD Balaclava - Amazon (https://amzn.to/4jEZioI) Armor: Helmet - cast resin (not sure who they are modeled from). Armor - 3D printed PETG (MrPoopie's files).

So I'm down to some small pieces of soft goods. What is everyone using for the belt and belt boxes? All the CRL says is: The belt is ribbed and made from rubber or rubber-like material with no visible buckle or fastening mechanism. The belt contains 3 leather or leather-like pouches with hard plate and press stud on each flap. So, I'm not sure where to start. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Well, I ran this by the DL and he referred me to the DCA. Last night I posted on FB that I was looked to commission a jacket. A prop vender named Galactic Props contacted me and said they could do it, and sent me some pictures and a video of their jacket. The pictures look like something that would pass basic approval, but the video seemed to show the flat stichig as well as the ribs. So I took a gamble and ordered it. They did ask for measurements and said it would take about 2-4 weeks. So, well see how it goes. If it turns out good, we might have a vendor willing to make the jackets. Link to jacket video.

Any chance this maker might be willing to make more?

5 year old thread, but still curious if anyone has used LABELworkshop's files? https://www.etsy.com/listing/906734170/patrol-trooper-wearable-armor-helmet-3d mostly just because someone I know mentioned them. I'm more than likely going with Mr. Poopie's files, but as we were comparing files in this tread, was just interested.

I suck a sewing. I'll have to look around the forum and see if there is a how to, it is the last part I need to source.

Okay looking for some assistance. It seems 3D printing is really the only way to go with the armor (I've talked to Walt a few times, but I'm still waiting on his R1TK, so I'm not paying him for anything else until that is done). Seem there is a solid source for the pants, boots and gloves, but the jacket still remains difficult if not impossible to find. I've heard good and bad about Sheev's Emporium, can I get a consensus on ordering from there? There was a recent post from there with what looks like an updated version. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BSwzUnLHd/ I've ordered the pants, waiting for a response about the boots and gloves, and I'm planning to buy @MrPoopie's files (I love the ROTJ scout files I got from him).

I should have asked, is there one in a format for copy an paste or print off, vs. on the video text overlay.

I used the forum search feature, but it didn't yield any results. Has someone complied a "supply list" for the things you need to build your helmet & armor? ie, E6000, hole punch, z size elastic, y sized nylon strapping, x size role of sew on Velcro? There seems to be several different sizes of strapping for the biceps, chest/back armor, belt, knees. I would be cool if there was an actual list of supplies needed and recommended tools, like @BikerScout007 said in his video, "if your down to your last dollar, and you're at the hardware store and you're like, should I buy a drill, or should I buy a leather punch, buy the leather punch".

This looks great, I'd love to see how much more you've done. I'm just starting to print mine, and would like to compare. Good Luck with your build!

Keith, this looks amazing. I hope mine comes out half as well as you've done. I can't wait to see it complete.
