So following my good friend Romans inspiration I decided to put together a Kashyyk Trooper. I love this costume :)

I bought my armour from bikerchic and it is amazing. Love that it comes with bucket, Greebs, straps etc, the most fantastic kit.

Bought my British dpms and did mods before dyeing

Started my ammo pouches using fabric from the US and foam bricks

Bought these boots ready for modding with dremel

I attached belt with snaps then used black silicone sheet 2mm thick and cut into squares to fill in black section of belt.

Looking nice bud. I really can't tell the colors and I'm assuming it is due to the lighting. Make sure you add the screening in the ear holes. Cummerbund looks great. I see you added snaps to the tops. Is that for suspenders or to attach to the chest plate?

Sorry for the late reply dude, yes I've now attached mesh behind the ears, poppers on cummerbund is now attached to braces to keep the whole thing secure under chest and back armour 😊

 

Quick selfie now I've painted chest

Looking great. good work on the pouches: they are tough. theres just so many of them! Diggin the paint job also. The blurriness is very digital :-). Also I like your solution to the black on the belt.

Weathering and paint pattern looks top notch! Terrific job and will be great to have another in the swamp

Looks great! You going to weather the gloves? Looks a little clean but could just be the lighting. I really don't see anything else that you would need to change.

Posted

Cheers buddy,

Difficult to weather the gloves, I've weathered the grey details but struggling with the vrown sections

Appreciate the feedback :)

Posted

Oh, that looks like rubbish. :blink:

I suggest that you ship it to me, immediately, for proper disposal.

 

 

 

Just joking. ;)

Looks great!

 

Cheers!

I had the same issue. Took some very light passes with sand paper just to rough up a little but they are still the cleanest looking items of my armor. Everything looks fantastic and congrats
