Megtooth Sith's WIP for: Rogue One Shoretrooper Captain

[megtooth sith]

Hey all, I'm beginning my build for Shoretrooper Captain.  I have already printed, painted, and weathered a bucket.  Its a highly modified Sean Fields V helmet with curved visor!  I think it turned out great.

Bucket:  Modified Sean Fields V 

Armor:  Plan on 3D Printing Paul's files, I haven't got them yet, but that is on the agenda.

Hip Armor:  Making on my own from templates on this forum

Magazine Pouch/Oiler Pouch/Strap:  Already have it

Boots:  I don't know, you all tell me.

Pants:  sew myself or buy?  Doesn't look complex to sew, since I can sew.

Shirt:  If I can find the material, sew myself, looks like exposed arms are the only place where material matters.

Gloves:  Endor finders?  I don't know here either.

Neck Seal:  Make myself

E22:  I'll print my own, and install it with Proffieboard

Voice:  Either my IComm or I'll use a MiCom for it.  I invented MiCom, which is now defunct because my "partner" viewed himself as my boss.  When I bowed out the company died....ah, you gotta love this stuff.

I'll update this post with current state of each of the items, but down through the thread will show how I came to make/acquire each item.

The first thing I made was my bucket.  i have my own 3D Printer, and I did a little research to find this model.  I realize that there are "more accurate" buckets out there, but I am happy with this one, unless you all tell me otherwise!  I'd like to meet basic approval, if I need to do something different down the road, I'm ok with that.  More photos of the bucket from different angles to see if there is any feedback.  it is painted with Montana Gold Sahara Beige, I think my photo box washed it out.  I'll try and take some better pics today.

This thing was squished and covered with mildew when it arrived, but, I was able to clean it up, and straighten it out a bit.  i'm gonna wet the leather, 3D print 4 mags, and insert the mags to finish making it new again.  After I get the pouches reconstituted, I'll saddle soap it.  My question about this one is:  is there a thread anywhere about removing the oiler?  It would be nice if it was on the other end of the strap.  I know I have to cut this thing to mount it on the armor, but they put the oiler between the mag pouches and buckle.  Also, how are y'all securing the oiler on the hip armor?  I don't want to lose this piece!

Got my pattern put together and cut out for the hip armor.  Do the ends need to meet in the middle of the front?  Or do they terminate on the sides of the forward part of the hip?  If they are suppose to meet in the front middle, I'll have to modify the template, I'm a bigger guy....

For me, they meet in the front.

Look at the original reference where the plates meet with the belt and adjust accordingly

@megtooth sith,

Great post.  I also bough mine from RTG Parts, but is SUPER dirty. Can you please let me know what product / process you used to clean it up?; Thanks in advance

Mine had a lot of mildew, and was flattened from being squished. I cleaned off mildew with clorox wipes. I then 3d printed magazines for it. Soaked the mag pouches in warm water, placed printed mags in pouches, and let air dry to get the shape of pouches back to normal.

Any updates? I see you asked questions on another build about scaling and was wondering if you had started printing yet? wondering where you are at on everything. We are kinda similar in size and so wanted to see what you had found. Keep us posted!
