Softparts:

the gloves arrived from Endor Finders (size L, after measurement )

but I'm not happy, I think I will change to size M (new order)

 

Pouches:
added some foam to the slots to make it stable but I think they need to be cleaning

Imperial Boots shirt and neckseal:

the shirt fit good but the neck seal is too big, I cut out 2-3cm in the back and now it fits great.

after I check all parts, I'm not very happy with the heatsink greeblie

oldheat.jpg

 

I build a new greeblie  in Fusion360 and printed on my resin printer

 

newheatsink.jpg

greebfit.jpg

 

same with the rear cartridges, after I check alot of pictures, I think they are to big and I was right

thank you to @ScaryGuy who helping me a bit with the mesurments. then I created new greeblies in Fusion360

printed in resin and here are the results (the body is printed in white PETG)

 

rearcart.jpg
testorint.jpg

 

i was very happy with the result and add a bit of 2K putty in the middle to emulate a resin cast, on the last picture, you see the difference.

working on the back:

I cuted all out and add the greeblies, the 4 small rectangle raised greeblies are printed in resin because I can't find them in the zipper bag

hi,

not a big update today

 

I builded the detonator together an painted the main body dark brown an the caps white 

the same after printing a new main body (the parts from Imperial Surplus are to big, there is no little gap between caps and main body)

the greebie is painted silver and I add real screws to it so It can be screwed into the cap

hi, after a few days with Covid-19, I feel much better and work goes on.

the Pringles can is painted (with a bit chipping)

I added to the greeblies real screws, but I painted the screws with the same silver, so there is no different between the greebie and screws.

and thermal detonator and my new holder is panted (with chipping)
