Re: 442nd WIP
Thanks everyone, I had a great time building it. Now it's time to get out and troop. I'm sure I'll find little tweaks my first time out. I already know I'll need to put some fans in the helmet for those hot days. Plus I'll probably get a voice amp/mic so people can hear me outside the helmet.

Re: 442nd WIP
Pics from this weekend. Armor is done and weathered. I just have to finish my knees and shoes. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/671BC163-5200-47BE-856F-0BDF09D4A1F1-661-000000E9017A9DE5_zps3af22906.jpg http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20C...

Re: 442nd WIP
Ok, so it's been a very productive weekend, minus a few issues. I have all the weathering done on my armor. Man that took a while with the five paint colors I was using. After finishing that I worked on a harness for my thighs and thus is what I came up with. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597...

Re: 442nd WIP
I've also started working on my boots under another thread. Now that I'm close to finishing the armor, I need to finish the boots. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Re: 442nd WIP
Was able to get most of the green done this weekend. I just need put one more coat on the thighs and lower legs, then it's on to weathering.

Re: 442nd WIP
Sounds good. However,I have one person on CTN saying that it's painted light gray. I think I can get the same effect with weathering.

Re: 442nd WIP
Two questions on paint. One: is the com pad a different color or is it white like the armor? Second: is the groove on the cod piece painted or am I just seeing shadows on a lot of images? http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/3239AC33-3CF1-41F2-AB68-E00966720CD7-32...

Re: 442nd WIP
It's time to start to paint and weathering process. I have several paint colors to use for the weathering process. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/425AC746-2422-4EB0-B83E-2A79D00220DB-4070-00000612A3C61E60_zps89791e24.jpg Let me know if there are any other te...

Re: 442nd WIP
I finished the belt yesterday. Was able to get all the boxes on and even sludged in some of my bad trim spots. Overall, I think it turned out ok. The one thing I'm not to crazy about and will probably change is the snap system for putting the two halves together. I think I'm going to try rare earth ...

Re: 442nd WIP
Well, started to work on the chest and back again. Was able to super glue in the back plate. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/40599CA4-5304-4645-849D-57BAABF06783-707-000000C5177A17E8_zpsafb09ad3.jpg I have the slots cut on the front, but how long are they sup...

Re: Clone Shoe Tutorial
It's been a while since I made an update on this tutorial, but I finally got my armor and have been working on that. I will continue with this when I get the armor done and need to finish the shoes.

Re: 442nd WIP
Belt has been fitted and put back together (with spacers). Now I just need to mount the boxes on the belt. Anyone have a good way to do this??? http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/0FCF274F-1209-4620-BAC2-D565E6BF9710-707-000000C510712BCD_zps87ebdd0c.jpg Also, I'm...

Re: 442nd WIP
Ok, here is the game plan for fixing the belt. I first layed out where the back box goes on each side of the belt. This would tell me where I needed to cut and how much room I had to spare behind the box. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/A711FB72-CAF6-4167-BA1...

Re: 442nd WIP
Actually the picture doesn't do it justice. The hole is big/deep enough that E6000 and Super Glue wouldn't do anything for it. That's why I had to use a towel and electical tape to stop it.

Re: 442nd WIP
I worked on the belt I got with Kevin's kit this weekend. It took a while to trim out and fit the boxes along with the detonator. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p597/BBC527/BBC527%20Clone%20Trooper/3EACFF74-343F-4C9E-A816-98425CDF151C-5164-00000E8423F9BF76_zps756e7cf2.jpg http://i1157.photobuck...
