JaybeScoutin Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Hi everyone, finally making a start on this costume. Wish me luck. The armor, etc. Will be 3d printed using Justin's files. I have a shoretrooper friend in my garrison who has kindly offered to help me build an E-22 blaster (I will probably build the MT blaster as well) Gloves. I have ordered from Endor Finders Boots will be custom, using an old pair I have at home painted white. I'll be sewing the jodphurs, gaitors, tassets, shirt, etc. This is the pair of boots I have they are officer style with a slight heel, so I will be painting them white using angelus leather paints. This should help the gaitors stay in place more easily than a short pair of boots, and it will all be hidden by the gaitors and Spats when finished. I have this 1.5" white nylon webbing, which I will use to make the belt. But if I can find a 3" width, I'll use that instead. Justin has given me some cool advice on using these white ribbed plastic sheets to make the leg straps. It is flexible and can be trimmed to size.

JaybeScoutin Posted November 9 Author Share Posted November 9 Hi everyone, Been feeling abit ill recently but wanted to share a quick update. My shoretrooper friend will be starting to print my E-22 blaster soon, and then hopefully I will start on the armor in the next couple weeks as well. Then I'll just need to get the helmet file next. I found this black ribbed fabric at a local mill, it looks pretty good and should be perfect for making the shirt. My gloves have arrived from EndorFinders, I had to get the standard First Order ones. As the all black gloves had sold out in my size. But I can easily dye the leather parts. I may have also gotten myself a pair of Mountain Trooper patches and a lapel pin, also from EndorFinders Hopefully, I will have the boots sorted next.
