Shoretrooper is my next kit I'd like. I think the wife is only going to tolerate one more! Might as well be this awesome kit!

Wow amazing work, like everyone else just take my money Shoretroopers look amazing. Now if I can only figure out why I've seen some with Red and some with grey blueish on right arm

We're just about finished with the clay master of the Dtrooper helmet.  We're going to be casting it it resin for final mastering before making the final mold.

 

Shore trooper helmet is currently being molded (waste mold).  It will also be cast in resin for final mastering.

 

 

Armor is still in the very rough stages:

 

 

 

 

Jim! This is your helmet (good to connect the different sites), I've been watching it on FB and never connected you to it.

 

Well done, looking forward to seeing it come to life. I think you have the best hand sculpted version going.

Thanks guys!  Some more updates:

 

Some updates:

Still cleaning up the resin master.  Will need to re-sculpt some minor details mainly because they were a &*&$%@ to clean up and it would be easier to sand stuff off, cut stuff out, and remodel.

Tweaking the chest:

And got my soft parts from my tailor.

Need to redo the ribbed shirt to lengthen the neck seal, and add a bib of black ribbed material.  Also need to redo the torso as the ribs should be horizontal in that area. Will also double the mesh layer and place a panel of it at the armpits.

Breeches are nice.  My tailor has a lot of experience sewing WW2 stuff for the WW2 airsoft/reenactment group i'm part of so he got these on the first try.

Love it! Question about the back armour, are you going to be doing the inset details asymmetrically like the shore troopers at the star wars celebration? Interested in a kit if you end up makimg them :-)<br><br><img src="http://woondu.com/images/celebrity/star-wars-rogue-one-shore/shore-trooper12.jpg"alt="shore-trooper12.jpg">

That's the plan!

Jim, are you going to make other parts like the bicep, shins, etc as well?

 

Yep, the plan is to offer a complete set.  Including the buckles etc.  Even the TK parts are new sculpts and different from existing ones.
