I have ordered Shock Kent Blood Red and is going to be the color for: - Shoulderbells (Finished printing) - Chest - Backbox (one stripe) I'm willing to jump over from Captain to Specialist variant and (hopefully) soon be a model for this amazing variant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertjan Kool Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Paint is 3020 Montana Gold Kent Blood Red and here are the two 3D printed shoulderbells ready. First they needed to be sanded down so that the printed lines are no longer visible and flat/smooth surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks for stepping up! This should be a relatively simple build. @mrrikki -- looks like we'll have a new draft CRL on our hands soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 For the time being I'm going to move this to the Costumes Pending forum, until it's an approved CRL. This is just to help us organize the writing of a new CRL. I will move it back to Shoretrooper WIPs after you are approved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertjan Kool Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 So today I sanded down the printed lines followed by filling those decent gaps with polyester putty. I sprayed it with a thick coat of spray putty. It's now super smooth for it later to be damaged again which is ironic in some way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laubi Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Looking forward to see your build.... and hopefully we can troop together in the future. Since you're from the Netherlands, that's not so unlikely. Greetings from Germany! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertjan Kool Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yesterday I finished up the Faulds armor. Montana Gold Sahara Beige paint was used followed by weathering; Black/brown washing and filed down the edges. I added the oiler pouch and the three shotgun shells with the help of hot glue and felcro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertjan Kool Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Also the helmet is almost finished. I just need to add the foreshield with the red orange emblem and the curved lens which is ordered again, because I made a misstake of using a hot air gun to the tinted plastic which it really didn't liked. Files are from Nico Henderson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertjan Kool Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Shoulders are almost near completion. Last thing is to paint the color codes bands. Spray paint is Shock Kent Blood Red 3020. After that it's weathering time. Using Blackwashing to darken it a bit and some scratches to meet the screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertjan Kool Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Still needs weathering and I also want to darken the red a bit while weathering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertjan Kool Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm working this week on three things, namely: shins and kidney armor. I'm planning on finishing the shins and kidney armor this or early next week. Meanwhile my printers are working 24/7 pumping out chest pieces, abdominal pieces and back pieces. Those are the last pieces to the puzzle. Near completion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
