Last update of the day. More distressing and weathering!!!
The boots...one clean and one dirty!
The gauntlets got a little airbrushing to highlight the shape and details.
Plus the jetpack received a lot more love!
The only task I have time left for is to distress the leather belt and pouches. Suit up tomorrow and see what needs changing. I suspect I will need to get a new flak vest as this one is just not long enough. But good enough for a quick local troop!
I had a chance to troop with the costume this weekend and it worked out great! Here are a few photos of the event. I still need to make a new flak vest to give me a larger gap between the collar and the chest plates and have a little extra below the belly plate. Also still need to add toe spikes and advance the weathering on the jumpsuit and boots a bit more. But is is "troopable" right now and the upgrades will just make it better. The blaster is still wrong as it is the ROTJ but I have most of the parts for the ESB EE-3 so that will get put together and replace the one I had to use.
I also came up with a two tote transport system to keep the paint intact for travel and protect the parts form each other.
I haven't updated this thread in a while but I thought I would post some event photos from the Force Awakens. My mini-me was in his First Order armor and loved his first long troop!
I also finished my EE-3 so all I need is to add is the sling and mounts.
