Scubacat Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Ok…..after getting my kit back in 2016 and being one of the ogs trying to do research and such into this kit when it was going for Spec Ops, finally at the home stretch. I worked hard and followed any changes over the years and I am pleased to say I think it is there. Going to post up a few of the pics u have from the long journey. Bill was there with me since the beginning and I wish we could have trooped in these when they were finished but sadly life happens. below is me in front of my cardboard cut out trooper a friend got me
Scubacat Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 Below is the paint. I have all the right colored as stated by the CRL and found colors.
Scubacat Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 Sorry if all of this gets pic heavy but I have a reference album that I went off with about 1,500 pics in it. 😅
Scubacat Posted May 13, 2024 Author Posted May 13, 2024 Ok since I guess I have reached my photo limit, I am trying to post up through Imgur or something. Kind of crazy with the photo space of just a few pics. https://imgur.com/a/gIw3XUA

This is honestly my first other kit since I joined back in 2014 with my shadow stormtrooper. Been a long ride and I finally decided to finish my kit after 8 years of working on it. lol. I was one of the first people trying to pioneer the kit and got it before the movie came out. It was crazy fun too trying to figure everything out. I was asked why I had a certain tag on my undershirt too and it shows I was the 5th person to get the shirt from Jim back in the day. It is seriously one of my favorite kits. The weathering was a blast but made me super nervous because I was damaging something on purpose. Hope to track down some shore and mountain trooper swag at some point as our local(and only one in the legion) mountain trooper game me his spare helmet. 1

Sorry for forgetting to post the access request! I moved over the weekend and had been moving while finishing the kit. 😅 1
