Roguebaron's shore build.

[Roguebaron]

Hi all, 

Long time TI, IG and ID deciding to go for a bit more armour.

Building a shore squad leader, since it seems to provide the greatest range of motion. I don't imagine this will be a quick build, but you are welcome to watch me muddle my way along. 
 

Currently I have the the orca bay boots and the E22 printed and primed black. 
This has been a very slow start, I bought the HSP kit, and after 18 months it finally arrived. (This is after a 6 month debacle with someone rotocasting the bucket and no shipping, but I won't name him here as We all know who he was) I have not brought the rest of the soft parts yet as I had to hold funds back to finish paying HSP and it was always coming soon.

I plan to start with the bucket, order the pants and do the  legs next.

Today I got a bit of a start drilling out the extra resin on the bucket, now I can see.

I do not have a visor yet, so I will need to take out a bit more to fit it. Planning to try ordering one from Mr. Paul and fitting it.

So far, the HSP kit is of two minds. The resin parts are nice, and fairly crisp. The kit did not come with the belt cover for the back, but they should be fairly easy to make. The only disappointment so far is the back plate, which is only lvl one and missing the lvl 2 details. The pull is also a little soft on the edges. I may try and model the lvl 2 details in when I get there, but that will be a long time from now.

my next steps, order pants, visor, paint for the bucket.

Hey Joe!

We've got a great Shore team of @TK8271 Rogue Trooper, @ScaryGuy and @KOtrooper here to help!  I've done a build myself so I know a few things too.  

Welcome!

Thanks, just messaged Paul to get a visor. I also posted BSP for the kit, It was HSP so I corrected. 
One step at a time.

Alright, a few minor updates. Managed to get my Montana beige and some black spray. Ordered the lvl 2 pants through dark side closet, and Geeky Pink Gaskets in Canada, where I am, is going to make my shirt. Ordered gloves through Endor finders. So, most soft parts dealt with except the belt, which I plan to order fromMr. Paul when I order his strapping kit. 
I also ordered the belt cover, chin strap and visor from Mr. Paul, the visor looks like a good fit for the HSP kit.

now I need to buy some primer as I start to sand the bucket. Thinking posting images here is a pain, so I will set something up on Pinterest or instagram for a photo dump. 
 

still having a hard time sourcing the orange and blue in Canada, I may have to go closest to.

Making slow progress, bucket assembled minus the chin strap (need to paint it), gloves together. Beach day try out.

Working on the legs.unfortunately, my shirt is running late due to Geeky Pink's fire, so she is behind. I'd like to have it to size the waist and arms correctly. Legs were a pain, really poor pulls from Head shop props ( not impressed with this kit, still missing pieces I'll never see) but I think I made them work. Used Paul's straps.

You can get a close idea of the sizing by wearing a hoodie or sweatshirt.

Thanks, that's my backup if things don't move along soon. I've got the resin belt pieces in a simple green bath right now. Still need to add the Velcro to the legs and weather them more, so I have a little bit before I'm ready.
