Darth Chridan's armour update- build...or Scout Trooper 2.0

[Darth Chridan]

Good lord...

...after a lot of month I've finally finished the upgrade of my biker scout. The previous parts was from D'Chef. The parts where I've changed is:

*the Chest and Back plate/tank

*the knees parts

*the belt

What should I say...I'm now satisfied with the result.

This is the beginning of the journey--->>

...and here the side by side view of the new chest to the old one from D'Chef...btw I'll close the triangular cut again.--->>

Here are a few WIP- pics from the build--->>

...since the parts had different colour shades i've painted the whole armour--->>

 

...and here the pics from the assembling--->>

Note: The T-Bits have been replaced by more accurate parts in the meantime--->>

...that's it with the assembling. This time I didn't fix the pockets behind the chest armor with velcro, now sewed them to the cummerbund like the original....and I have to say, it holds great and because of the tension on the body nothing slips down--->>

...1st testfit without gloves and boots--->>

...some fiddling--->>

I don't have to tell you anything about it (height, distance, width, positioning, etc.) until it has worked out reasonably well.... 🙄 --->>

Now to the "greatest part" of this job... the Weathering 😁 --->>

......and once again forgotten to put on gloves 🙄 🤨 --->>

Well, I've the costume build up on a doll and made some pics with the doll--->>

...the accurate T-Bits--->>

Holster--->>

Thermaldetonator--->>

...complete rear view--->>

Well then...soon he will have his "maiden voyage" at the next event...I'm really looking forward 😁

Cheers......

So are those new armor parts your own casting?

Nope...not my own casting. The belt is from CfO and the chest, back and knees are from a good buddy, he still had a few parts left.

That's it 😁
