WIP: First Order Stormtrooper - Bean Builds

[SandmanAU[TK]]

the binder folder has the pdf instructions from Anovos so im not sure if im allowed to share them or not....

[SandmanAU[TK]]

its now time for the holsters and boxes to be attached.

 

im going to upgrade this to the metal more detailed kit from a fellow FISD maker but for the time being ill just screw this on.

 

 

the arm gauntlets have been a very annoying build, with 4 abs parts to glue together this will be one of the first parts ill be sourcing a replacement for.

 

the also annoying mod for the chest details

 

then painting it with the spray cans, i think when i get the helmet im going to have to re do the entire thing, im not impressed with the quality 

 

 

some parts have turned out awesomely, but others not so....

 

 

 

 

and then it was time for the gaskets, the elbows was the easiest to size up.

mixing the 2 parts and trying to hold them all in place, this is where i really need another pair of hands!!!!!!!!!!

Coming along nicely

Plastic clamps is a good idea with the gaskets. The other methods we tried were a bit tricky.

[SandmanAU[TK]]

the gaskets are a pain...tape wasnt any better but the plastic clamps seem to be doing the job... will check them tonight.

[SandmanAU[TK]]

last few pieces of armour painted, and after re doing a few pieces, they have turned out better then i thought, shinny and glossy reflective

 

 

and with Dredds help we trimmed and glued the shoulder gaskets together

 

 

so tonight the decals and the velcro start to get placed and hopefully some help tomorrow with a sewing machine the webbing will be done.
