jsilvius' Patrol Trooper Build

[jsilvius]

I've wanted to do this build since I saw it in Solo. I've been busy trying to finish a Shadow Scout for the past year. I've been on here a lot as you all have much better write ups about scout builds compared to SpecOps. I was recently offered a Resin cast PT helmet and that spiked my interest in this build again, so I jumped on the few items that @BikerScout007 had that I could fit in. So now that I have a helmet, boots, and gloves, it was time to start grabbing more stuff to make this happen. I bought @MrPoopie's files so I can start printing the armor on my Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, and my CR-10 S5. I'll be printing them in PETG as I don't have any enclosures. I'll also be ordering my pants from Uniform Warehouse per many recommendations. The jacket and belt were my biggest hang up. I recently was contacted by a prop maker named "Galactic Props" on Facebook and they said they could make the jacket to meet the Level 2 requirements, so I've taken a risk and ordered. As for the Belts and Belt boxes, I've gotten some recommendations and will be looking into those.

So break down.

Softgoods:

• Jacket - Galactic Props (https://www.facebook.com/galactic.props.2025)
• Pants - Uniform Warehouse (https://bit.ly/3GvRCGw)
• Gloves - Endor Finders
• Boots - Amazon (https://amzn.to/4lYQg7A)
• Belt - TBD
• Belt boxes - TBD
• Balaclava - Amazon (https://amzn.to/4jEZioI)

Armor:

• Helmet - cast resin (not sure who they are modeled from).
• Armor - 3D printed PETG (MrPoopie's files).

Always good to add a new PT to the ranks!  We look forward to your progress (and thanks for buying that stuff off me!)

Update:
Jacket is apparently complete. They sent me a shipping label. We'll see if it shows up and how good it looks. In the mean time, I've started printing @MrPoopie 's files. The shin failed a couple of times, so I switched to the arms. LOL.
I do have a question about the forearms. The files are two pieces, but I need to glue those together, correct?
First couple of coats of of filler primer on arms, biceps, and hand plates. Toe cover are on their 3rd coat of semi-gloss white.

Good news all around (except for the shins, 3D printers can be fun like that). Yes, the forearms are each 2 large pieces. The left forearm also has 2 small oval parts that attach to the top detail section (see the CRL for positioning).

The parts bin is filling up. Unfortunately I have a two week hiatus for a business trip out to Seattle, so not printing for two weeks. When I get back I need to try printing TPU parts. Hopefully my jacket will be here when I return and I'll have my soft goods all together.
