mr paul Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Fabric hand made from Lance at Rogue Repro on FB. Can't get better than what he is doing with the romper suit. Looking forward to getting my hands on the finished garment. Chest plate ready for further assembly and paint. Shoulder bells broken down in accordance with the screen used. Had great fun doing these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr paul Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Update on where my Squad Leader is at. Waiting on the kama to be made. I have sourced some more appropriate fabric and webbing. This is a recent helmet that was made on commission for a client. Based not he Sandeep Mohan Shoretrooper helmet using the Nico henderson 3D files. Printed, prepped, assembled and painted by myself. Also super exciting is that I have been assisting Lance over at Rogue Repro on FB. We are now happy we have found the correct fabric for the mesh armpits on the ST romper under suit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr paul Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I have commissioned a kama for my squad leader build. Can't wait to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr paul Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 I commissioned Lance Culpepper to make me a Kama. We have paid particular attention to the type of fabric and the thread. Note the puckered seams which is characteristic of the Squad Leader Kama. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr paul Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 The Orca Bay Brecon Chelsea boot in sand. This color was confirmed by Ardmoor as the shoe that was suppiled to the Rogue One costume dept. I always doubted the sand coloured boot because of how light it is out of the box. Up until now I have used the Havana boot. A misinformed choice I made 4 years ago. That particular boot has to be ruled out as the leather is textured and there is no evidence of that in reference. The boot always takes on a darker appearance accross all reference imagery excect in this one where the boot does indeed look lighter and more in line with the sand colour. Because of this image I have bitten the bullet and bought a pair of the sand. I was thinking on the elk coloured boot but decided against it due to Ardmoors confirmation and I wanted to experiment to see if a good break down would knock the sand colour back. Thank you Katherine Partis. You can order boots from her here. 10% discount with free postage https://katherinepartis.com/ Here are the sand coloured boots before and after break down. The weathered boots are shown with and without a flash. Screen reference along the bottom. I am happy that the sand is correct. The colour match is spot on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradberry00 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Would you mind sharing your breakdown process on the boots? Paint? Shoe Polish? thanks -david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr paul Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Here is my finished "stunt" helmet. Referred to as such mainly because of how beaten up it looks. Forehead plate is bent out of shape and paint is damaged, repaired and damaged again. Lot's of layers of break down to give it some history and hopefully create an authentic screen used and abused finish. Paying close attention to the marks found on the real helmets. My favourite lid so far. 3D files courtesy of Nico Henderson Desert Fare Cosplay 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr paul Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 I tried to have a dress up today but this is as far as my little boy would allow me before I had to take it off again. First time in the Squad Leader. First time in the Rogue Repro gear. I will let the pictures do the talking. Love it. Armour- MPSB. Under suit and Kama- Lance Culpepper. Helmet- Anovos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Everything looks fantastic. That two year wait for your bucket was worth it. This is another ST build I’m bookmarking for future reference when I get the itch to build a ST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricket Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 On 11/30/2018 at 8:10 AM, mr paul said: I will do a full reveal when we have finished the abdominal armour. The spine plate is attached to the belt cover separate to the TD mount. Hey Paul, I can't seem to locate the "full reveal" of how you attached the spine plate to the TD mount here in your build thread. It looks like it's secured with Chicago screws, but I would like to verify before I begin drilling into my hard belt cover. Any help appreciated!!! Thanks! EDIT: Members over at Shoretrooper Fam clued me in. Disregard the question, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Stunning job Paul! I’ve been following this for a while and itching to see everything finished. Your paint job is fantastic. Just awesome. And using the tarp that you spray painted your build on for a backdrop was a cool touch to your photos. Loved seeing the outlines of your armor pieces on there. Well done trooper!
