What about this? I dabbed out some of the more obvious brush strokes to make it look more natural. Might not be that noticeable, but still. :p Need to weather the soft goods too, soon. Will do a coffee spray for that.

Ok, so I decided to add a bit more weathering, as it really didn't look like much after later consideration. I can always remove some if I overdid it I personally think it came out a bit better...?

I finally started weathering today, starting with the hard parts.This will be a lot of pictures, so buckle up!

Gave the coat a tea bath today:

Painting done! Next up; weathering!

Painted the rest of the grey parts, only red remain!

Handpainted the small grey decals on the backpack today, it was a real bother:

Painted the grey parts on the chest today:

Started painting today, began with black:

Sorry for the delay, procrastination and bad memory are real problems for me. Anyway, I finally sewed on the shoulderpads! Here it is, all parts are now (finally) assembled, I am almost done!

Remember the LEGO Masters troop from last year? Today we were there again and even more of us! The usual crew, with add-ons; Vader with family, TIE with son, the family from Piteå and two others. This time we had a proper stand with us and it didn't rain a bit, although it came close. Although it didn't come as many visitors this time as last year, we still sold many photos for charity. While I couldn't stay for the next day, as it would be a two day troop, it was still as fun as always! Will update with more photos if I get ahold of any.

Sewed the knees today.

Thank you! Should soon be done, only some sewing left, then it's painting and weathering

Sewed on the handplates today.

Did some glueing today.

Long time no see! Today I did some small work drilling the parts that will be sewn on and added fans to the helmet.

Gameskap had another troop for me and Vader, this time for a fair in Bjurholm. He picked me up and we, together with some of his sons +1, drove an hour to get there. There had been quite hot recently so we were a bit worried about that, but it was cooler than expected. We set up and patrolled through the fair for about 3 hours, standard stuff. Overall it was a successfull troop and we met many kids (and older) that wanted pictures and high-fives. There were some kids that knocked around on the armors and cracked Vader's chestpiece though, so we didn't come out unscathed. Other than that it was a good troop!

Short troop, birthday party in town. A 3 yo boy got apparently fixated on us during our troop for Gameskap and wished for us for his birthday. So the usual group, Me, Vader and TIE went over and exchanged pleasantries for a short while. There is something special about seeing kids happy...

Great work to whoever was there!

Ok, then, I will keep this relatively brief... Nordsken has come and gone and it was a blast, with over 25 Nordic Legions members participating in the event for 3 days, it came out great! The booth we had were a really great one that the family from Piteå made I got to know more of those trooping with me and I can't wait for next time! Well then, see you next time!

The glue has dried, not too bad, I'm satisfied. I also fixed the shoulder straps and added the metal parts for the chest:

Put in the lenses and some padding for the helmet: Also glued the backpack.

Helmet done! (Except for the lenses) And on me: Maybe not perfect, but it looks good to me. Next up is finishing the backpack and the shoulder bridges.

Been sick, but today I managed to glue the back vinyl: Shall see how it looks tomorrow or something.

Trimmed the shroud and eyes a bit:
