arobertson66 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Has anyone has successfully printed Sean Field's File (downloaded them from Stoo's Shack)? I have been printing for months and have a few more questions about the abdominal and chest parts as well as how to weather your armour. Watched the Shoretrooper Captain! Video on Facebook and followed the advice to join Pathfinders. Thanks Ashley TK21864 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilika Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Ashley, I hope this message finds you doing well. My kit is an approved Sean Fields and if you still need someone to talk with about needed conversions/assembly, I'd be happy to help Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 @Minimo @KOtrooper ? Any words of advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arobertson66 Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thank you so much for the reply! I've sanded/filled/coat in filler primer most parts. Still and forearm and belt to do. I have a feeling it's not smooth enough yet. Been sidelined on building with my hand in a cast for a month - will come off on Nov 2. How do you "mount/wear" your chest/ab section? How did you paint the weathering? Did you go officer? If so what material did you use for skirt and how did you attach that? Thanks!

Weasel Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi Ashley, if you go onto my build post, Rad has written a great weathering guide that can help give you an idea. There are a few videos on the Shore Trooper mounting and weathering on YouTube as well to get some ideas, I don't have the links right now but I might assemble a separate posts for other troopers soon. I forgot the series but there are great weathering videos on YouTube around various Star Wars armor pieces. My suggestion for mounting is to look at Mike's video on how to wear the costume and then browse every Vanguard Deployment post and look how other troopers have solved it. There is no one right solution for all pieces, some things work better for you than others based on tools available and skill level. I personally have used Velcro sewn onto Nylon straps and then glued onto the different pieces to hold the chest and backplate together, but it's a little wonky to explain without pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arobertson66 Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Wow! that's a cool shot. I definitely should have adjusted my print settings. Way more sanding to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
