Ghost40 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 TB-25674 (Ghost40) officially requesting Lancer approval. This has been a build I've always wanted to do. Call it my dream costume since RoTJ. When they showed back up in the Mandalorian, that was it. I had to do it. This forum and the people here have been quite a bit of help to me. So to push myself further, here is my request! Personal Information Name: David Knife TB-25674 Old Line Garrison Parts: Helmet: Kropserkel Armor: Studio Creations Tie flight suit: Wampa Wear Cumberbund: member here Pouches: Naomi Cook (Amion Costumes) Gloves: Wampa Wear Boots: King Show / Forum tutorial / me Blaster: Resin / Luna Full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost40 Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Helmet - Kropserkel This was assembled by a member in the FB groups. It is a cap and back design, I went the optional route of not filling the seam. The bolts are 3M at 22mm. The grey part of the snout is cut from ABS and glued in. The front snout is separate and cast by Ukswrath with the mic. The lens is black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost40 Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Armor - Studio Creations, my assembly The side strapping on the chest is the 1.5" and fills the opening. The tank greeblie is attached using a silver rivet per the level II CRLs. The shoulders, biceps, forearms, and knees are all strapped with 3/4" ribbed elastic The ABS belt is connected to the back via a single rivet. It includes the four parachute buckles with the two rear ones reversed (shown in the full body photos).

The pouches are made from duck cloth. There is a stitch down the middle of the back, velcro fastener. The gloves are from Wampa Wear, I chose to lease the clips on.

Ghost40 Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 The boots were made from King Shows work boots, and marine vinyl. Using a tutorial here on the Pathfinder forums from Cheesewhoopy. Slightly modified the dogbone length so it overlaps the soles and the proper width of the toe strip. The flight suit is a TIE pilot suit from Wampa Wear, the neck seal was from Trooperbay. And a generic balacava. The blaster is a resin cast from Luna Armorworks painted by myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPoopie Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Here are the review team's findings: Pretty solid build and fitting, there are a few key areas that you will need to sort out, the main being the weathering. Weathering While your amount of weathering is good, you'll want to go for a more smoothed out airbrushed look instead of how it currently is, being a bit blotchy. There are visible watermarks on the Thermal Detonator which will need to be fixed but it's a good example of what we've noticed. The screen-used armor has a "dusty" look to it, less muddy. Helmet The visor edge will need to be trimmed a bit more. The lip should be should be closer to about 3/8 inch wide (see image below) Belt The Drop Boxes will need to come up. The bottoms of each Drop Box should be even with the bottom of the Cod. (see screen-used armor image below) Boots Soles appear to be two-tone. The upper sole will need to be painted so that it appears to be the same color as the lower sole. Rough idea of what to trim on visor Screen-used Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost40 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Awesome input! And I really appreciate the help. I'll get in these and get back here in about a week. What will need to be resubmitted in terms of photos? And as far as weathering goes, can I assume I should remove as much of the old weathering as possible?

MrPoopie Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 We're always here to help. As far as images, we'll need full body images again to make sure the weathering is correct and any closeups of the boot soles and visor. If we can't see enough details from those pics we'll let you know. I would suggest removing as much of the original weathering first but don't worry about getting every knook and cranny as it will covered by the new weathering.

Ghost40 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 I dont want to gum up the thread with a lot of questions, but I do like the "softer" look of the weathering. And not too bad for my first airbrush run. How does this weathering sit with you guys/gals? Just want to ask before I do everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPoopie Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Definitely a step in the right direction. If you can "rough" it up a but so that it looks sandblasted and not as smooth that would be ideal. You can see how the CRL image has the same softer airbrushed look underneath but also with some abrasion the surface. You should be able to achieve this affect by dabbing the paint after airbrushing but before it's totally dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking start with a super light coat for shading, then dry brushing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost40 Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Alright, corrections made (hopefully, fingers crossed!) Trimmed down the faceplate plate visor Painted the soles of the boot to a single color Closeups of the thermal detonator showing water marks removed and weathered And full body with new weathering. I removed as much of the old weathering as I could. Left a few key places in the nooks and crannies. Then I airbrushed basic accents and dry-brushed with the same color to get more of a dusty, sand blasted look. The photos also show the waist boxes raised to meet the bottom of the cod piece.

MrPoopie Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 This is optional but for ease of trooping you may want to put a strap on the inside of the right boot to help hold it up a bit. The way you have it now is actually proper and how the screen-used Scouts look but the floppy holster can be annoying as well as more prone to having a blaster fall out. Like I said, this is totally optional and your preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, this is totally optional and your preference. I actually have a strap on the inside, and it popped off the rivet when I caught the holster on the stairs lol. I will be adding something more robust. I added a small shim to the inside of the holster to add a little friction to the blaster. But I think the inside strap and shim will work great together.
