Cyra Marrus

Got my first coats of paint down this morning! Hitting some of the helmet parts with the dark brown base coat before moving to the Sahara Beige. Not sure if I should do some masking at this point or just weather it with some sandpaper once the beige is down. More to come!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the responses and suggestions. @BikerScout007, really glad to hear that folks have been approved with Sean's files and that he's been updating them. I hadn't seen any super recent intel on that front, so that's good to know. Just got my first can of Sahara Beige in the mail today...and have some of the helmet printed with more underway (just upgraded my old Anycubic Mega X to a Bambulabs A1 and whooo boy is it night and day), so I'll share here when I make some progress on that. Appreciate you all! Paul

Amazing, thank you! One last thing (well, I'll probably be back with more questions) do you happen to have a link to that fabric you got at Joann's? Is it this?

Hey there! This is such great work, thank you so much for documenting it! I've just started work on a Sean Fields Shoretrooper as well. I've heard some different information about the back plate. Besides using the updated greeblies, was there anything else you had to do to the back plate to get approved? Thanks! Cyra/Paul

Well hello there! I'm Paul/Cyra, ID-76884. I'm a member of the Midwest Garrison and also a member of the Mandalorian Mercs with a post-imperial custom Mandalorian kit. I've always loved the Shoretrooper armor design, so I've decided to start building my own! Very early stages here, obviously, but I'll be using Sean Fields' files. From what I can gather, they'll get me level 1 approval - which I'm totally fine with. It looks like I'll need to update the greeblies in the back plate as well as do some trimming of the back...but honestly I'm still trying to figure that out. For now, I've started work on the helmet. Anyone out there have experience getting approved using Sean's files? Anything I should know? Looking forward to joining the ranks! Paul
