I have started adding details on a few things in the build thread above. Per @loyalImperialCitizen (Dylan) ask, I added the holster build details, with on step by step how I did it, the 3D model will be on Etsy in the upcoming days. Probably a 1000 way to do it, mine is for DYI without any skills n fabric/leather work
I am working on getting the remaining parts of the full armor available, still some time to complete but if someone has immediate need, I can certainly accommodate with current work in progress to get them the complete armor.
I also worked on the Baton and shield as those are pretty simple and straight forward once I had the right pictures and fun to add. Below are the 3D models of the finished design, they will be available soon for everyone. I will start printing them in a few days. Any feedback is gladly welcome on things I would have missed/ didn't draw correctly from the reference pictures.
The baton will have working lights, so I designed it with battery holders, cable wiring and possibility to change the LED if they become defective.
I have designed it to be compatible with WS2812B LED strip (most common LED strip available., that way the color can be perfectly tuned to screen reference. The availability of purple light is close to none, thus adjustable color LED is the best path to get the right color.
...Unfortunately, I didn't designed it to fold and unfold like the real one ( too much time and complexity in 3D printing to make it work nicely )
Shield is nice but huge to print. I sized it in proportion with the reference pictures against my height (5'8''). It barely fits onto my printer 420x420mm bed in diagonal...! The triangular window will easily be cut from 1/8'' / 3mm transparent plastic and clamped between internal and external printed black seals
I am left handed, so I will print it mirror to the image below. Having seen several left handed IAC rifles in hand, I guess that having left handed shield should be approvable
I will post the results and details on how I did the assembly and lighting when I have printed and completed them. The metallic colors of the shield are somehow different from Hot toys and reference pictures and I'll compromise when selecting the pain: it seems to be matte/ satin finish metal in both cases. It is shown as matte aluminum on Hot Toy images, but seems darker and more reflective in the reference images.
- The baton is more of a satin finish titanium color on the main body. I'll try to get this paint by mixing a couple, as I haven't seen this color readily available for airbrush.
