Hi everyone, Been feeling abit ill recently but wanted to share a quick update. [emoji846] My shoretrooper friend will be starting to print my E-22 blaster soon, and then hopefully I will start on the armor in the next couple weeks as well. Then I'll just need to get the helmet file next. I found this black ribbed fabric at a local mill, it looks pretty good and should be perfect for making the shirt. My gloves have arrived from EndorFinders, I had to get the standard First Order ones. As the all black gloves had sold out in my size. But I can easily dye the leather parts. I may have also gotten myself a pair of Mountain Trooper patches and a lapel pin, also from EndorFinders [emoji6] Hopefully, I will have the boots sorted next. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, finally making a start on this costume. Wish me luck. [emoji846] The armor, etc. Will be 3d printed using Justin's files. I have a shoretrooper friend in my garrison who has kindly offered to help me build an E-22 blaster (I will probably build the MT blaster as well) Gloves. I have ordered from Endor Finders Boots will be custom, using an old pair I have at home painted white. I'll be sewing the jodphurs, gaitors, tassets, shirt, etc. This is the pair of boots I have they are officer style with a slight heel, so I will be painting them white using angelus leather paints. This should help the gaitors stay in place more easily than a short pair of boots, and it will all be hidden by the gaitors and Spats when finished. I have this 1.5" white nylon webbing, which I will use to make the belt. But if I can find a 3" width, I'll use that instead. Justin has given me some cool advice on using these white ribbed plastic sheets to make the leg straps. It is flexible and can be trimmed to size. Sent from my SM-S921B using Tapatalk

Hope everyone has been having a great Christmas/Happy Holidays! Please let me know btw, if these images havn't appeared, I've been having problems uploading images to the forum for some reason. Just wanted to post a small update, that I may have used my Christmas money, to order myself a pair of boots and gloves from crowprops!!, [emoji3] [emoji3] Having had my officer boots and couple other accessories from them in the past, I've always loved the quality and comfort, so when I realised they did Scout boots and gloves, well I just couldnt resist. LOL I also managed to snatch this red silicon tubing up on Amazon today, its 7mm (outer diamter) so hopefully it should be a good thickness. I went ahead and got a couple meters, so I have a little spare in case of mistakes when assembling. Ill probably grab the black webbing for the harness on amazon in the near future as well. Hopefully in January I'll next place an order for my Helmet and Armor, (may order them seperately to spread the cost over a couple months but will have to see) I guess I'm officially started on this build now folks!!! [emoji3]

Thanks for the links @Aradun hopefully I can make a start on this build early next year, I'll probably order the helmet and armor first, as they'll likely be the biggest investment. Then I can work on the soft parts whilst I wait for them to get made up for me. I found the Chefs website today, the quality of their scout gear looks really good, and they offer to assamble it etc. which would save me a lot of time, to work on the soft parts etc.

Starting this thread here so I remember where to post in the future. This will be a long term project for me, as Ive never attempted a trooper costume before, (I've only done soft parts costumes like my Gunner and Officer, so this is quite the upgrade 😆) Ive wanted to do this build for ages. Ive heard good things about Chefs Creations?, for scout helmets and armor so I was going to have a looksie. But if anyone has any other recommendations for helmets and armor please let me know I'm hoping most of the soft parts I can sew together myself, and I have a friend across the pond in the Star Garrison who has offered to print me the JFO accessories made by @MrPoopie I do have this 3d printed pew pew, I got as a birthday present recently, so good oppoirtunity for me to practice sanding and painting 3d prints. and of course I now have my obligatory scout figure, for motivation, wish me luck
