A word of advice! I've seen many cases of rustoleum paint reacting with other rustoleum paints,so check that they play nice with each other before laying them down on your helmet! It's going to take a good few layers of paint, just remember to apply thin coats and build them up.. patience is key Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

I remember seeing a post,a good few months ago, where he stated he was concentrating more on gun electronics , however this doesn't excuse not fulfilling previous speaker orders! Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

To be honest, I was a bit surprised that Mr poopie hadn't split the 2 files up , to be available separately,although I realise the patrol trooper market probably consists of about 15 people worldwide [emoji23][emoji6] Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

I did find those, but unless I missed something,they are only available when bought as a 'upgrade' for the scout trooper costume into a fallen order scout,so there's lots of pieces in the pack, that don't apply to a patrol trooper. Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

For future reference to anyone interested in making a pauldron,a sewing template can be found here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16758-shoulder-pauldron-templates/ Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

Ha ha fair enough ,I just thought seeing as it would need submitting for approval that it'd need to be 'correct' to be approved , but you do have a point about head movement,I'm intrigued if a pauldron makes movement any worse...probably not though[emoji23] Also I've checking on the availablity of printable designs for the riot baton and shield and have found a riot baton( paid design ) https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-scout-trooper-energy-electro-baton would this be suitable?if not could you point me to a previously approved file? And a free shield here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6591471 Although this is missing the imperial insignia seen in the game, would it be needed ? Although adding the insignia should be easy enough to add in prusa slicer! Sorry for the questions but seeing as the 501st loves details,I thought I'd ask [emoji6] Sent from my 21091116UC using Tapatalk

Quick question about the pauldron,is it a specific shape to the character, jfo scout and now the patrol trooper,or is it a general one used by multiple different trooper types ie tk's etc etc Excuse my ignorance, it's a subject I've never looked into before!
-
Looks like I'll be on the hunt to find a orange pauldron soon!

Ok, you've twisted my arm ,I'll print it! I've just seen the new video on Facebook,I did wonder if there's a file for the riot baton also!

I've just visited the specialist shop near me and unfortunately it wasn't something they were familiar with However I'm not giving up just yet,so I'll contact the company above, along with throwing the question out on to the net to see if the hive mind will be able give us a answer!

For reference this is the shape of the teeth, although the gap between them is far wider on the picture than on the armour! Also the teeth are far more pronounced in the picture than IRL. The picture was taken from here https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Belts-Toothed-Belts-Wedge-Tooth-Profile-H-Profile-Wedge-Toothed-Belts-12.7mm-(1/2-inch)-Pitch/c4601_5046_5064_5068/index.html?selection=Synchronous+Toothed+Timing+Belts

I got round to measuring the strapping yesterday and it's as follows Width of strap = 45mm / 4.5.cm / 1.79 inches Length of strap =230mm / 23 cm / 9.05 inches Height of tooth = 4.5mm / 0.45cm / 0.177 inches Gap between each tooth= 5mm / 0.5cm / 0.196 inches ( from edge to edge ) or 10mm / 1cm / 0.393 inches when measuring from the centre of one tooth to another I believe I have found some that may fit the bill, although they are slightly narrower in belt width and slightly less tall , only 2mm by though! I have noticed that the belt needed trimming down to fit into buckle recess, which is 40mm on mine,so a smaller width belt would probably be a better fit 🤷♂️ I will visit a local specialist shop in the next few days and see if they can narrow it down ,as my only concern now ,which dart pointed out, is the belt being reinforced. Thank you very much for replying Mr poopie, without me having to contact you 😂

I've just had a thought,I imagine that each armour maker / designer ( Mr poopie,Walt's and armour prop shop) may have designed the opening / hole that the straps fit into, slightly differently to each other ,in both height and width. So for anyone reading this in the future,my findings are for the prop shop armour,I will contact Mr poopie and ask if he will so kind as to give the measurements for his design on this thread, for future reference. If anyone reading this who has Walt's armour,please feel free to add measurements for it,so it can be used by others when needed, thank you 🙏

After your suggestion,I've done a little more digging and found out what type it is,It's a wedge tooth profile .. unfortunately I still haven't got round to measuring the current straps , I'll do that soon ,so I can identify exactly what specification it is.
