Will's Shoretrooper Build - Imperial Surplus

[MediumWillPower]

Hello there, fellow pathfinders.

I'm Will from the Golden Gate Garrison, BH82886. I have a few approved costumes already but have always been tempted by the legendary shoretrooper. Honestly, I could do almost any costume from Rogue One and be excited about it. I've been lurking here for a while but have finally kicked off my Shoretrooper Squad Leader (R1), and have been having a blast on this build so far!

Helmet - Mr Paul 

Soft goods - Darkside Closet

Boots - Orca Bay

Gloves - Endor Finders 

Armor - Imperial Surplus

Still trying to figure out how to best upload pics on these forums as all mine are too high resolution. 
 

but I’ve done a test run of paint / weathering on the hand plates to get a feel for things. I think I went a bit too heavy on the latex weathering so I’ll probably paint over it a bit more.

I’m still waiting for my aging spray to come in that’ll lessen the contrast between Sahara beige and the dark brown undercoat. 
 

overall I’m very happy with how the first paints have come out! I’m also waiting for the rain to stop so I can continue painting the shoulders

Ok looks like it's easy to add pics then. I unfortunately don't see how my thread is different from a standard build thread. Maybe I'm just too dumb for it.

It's not.  It's fine.  He's just suggesting you post all your progress here so the team can help guide you along.

Gotcha! Okay moving along then.

Sanded the shoulders and hand plates, then briefly debated making a chocolate trooper before moving on to Sahara Beige. I'm also using liquid latex for the weathering. I went a bit too heavy on the hand plate weathering so ill add some more Sahara beige to it.
