Happy may the 4th y’all. I had a heck of a busy time between going to Japan and then trooping this weekend, but still was able to churn out good progress. got some finished pieces I’m very happy with! now I’m starting the chest piece, but I’m a bit lost on where and how to find a slot to cut it for the top strap to go through. also is there any guidance on how attaching the shoulder straps works? I’ve been following the imperial surplus videos so far but they don’t overlap with the ICAT here much as the shoretrooper seems quite different.

FogOut Shoretrooper Squad Leader Niamos (Andor) Build Log

Howdy, your stuff is looking great! How did you come to find the placements for the strap slots at the top of the chest armor? -
Finally got some painting in, in between packing for Japan 👀 also a question! Is it required to add additional layers of plastic in the inside where the two parts meet? Applies to both the forearms and biceps I guess. Or is it just better to have it reinforced like that? And would I use bondo to seal it all together or just ca glue?

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

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!

Sithping Shoretrooper Captain build(Imperial Surplus)

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!
