Well, this turned out like bantha poodoo. Any tips on getting straight lines? Also noticed the bottom line is heckin crooked 🙃

Gotcha! Okay moving along then. Sanded the shoulders and hand plates, then briefly debated making a chocolate trooper before moving on to Sahara Beige. I'm also using liquid latex for the weathering. I went a bit too heavy on the hand plate weathering so ill add some more Sahara beige to it.

Ok looks like it's easy to add pics then. I unfortunately don't see how my thread is different from a standard build thread. Maybe I'm just too dumb for it.

how do I make it a build thread?

Still trying to figure out how to best upload pics on these forums as all mine are too high resolution. but I’ve done a test run of paint / weathering on the hand plates to get a feel for things. I think I went a bit too heavy on the latex weathering so I’ll probably paint over it a bit more. I’m still waiting for my aging spray to come in that’ll lessen the contrast between Sahara beige and the dark brown undercoat. overall I’m very happy with how the first paints have come out! I’m also waiting for the rain to stop so I can continue painting the shoulders https://imgur.com/a/HkJ098N

Thanks! I've been in Joe's ear a bunch already about my build!

Hello there, fellow pathfinders. I'm Will from the Golden Gate Garrison, BH82886. I have a few approved costumes already but have always been tempted by the legendary shoretrooper. Honestly, I could do almost any costume from Rogue One and be excited about it. I've been lurking here for a while but have finally kicked off my Shoretrooper Squad Leader (R1), and have been having a blast on this build so far!

Loved reading your entire build progress! Do you have any further details on how you weather using the acrylic? I'm currently using the same for my weathering. I put the acrylic on the dark brown undercoat, is that what you did and then just peel it when its all painted? Do you clear coat any layers? Thanks!
