Hey guys! I’ve been lurking for a bit asking questions and what not, but I finally feel like I’m at a spot where I can share my project!
Im currently working on the early painting phase of my armor. My kit is 3D printed from Galactic Armory. My first time with a 3D print build and all though it’s a lot of work it pails in comparison to my trooping days back in the day when we had to vacu form everything or find greeblies at thrift stores and flea markets!
This build so far has been a lot of fun, looking at some high res photos shows there’s honestly a lot of room for error as it appears a lot of the paint and applications look fairly sloppy and “used”. Which helped out quite a bit when my storm spray paint threw a fit in my right breast plate, but hey, looks kind of like the show, or enough where I don’t care. (Mind you, this build is a part of a Halloween setup I plan on making for handing out candy, so all though I want to be close enough, I’m not looking to get this approved, my trooping days are behind me.)
Good lord, that was long winded, you can tell I’m from the Midwest….
This is where I’m at so far not including my soft goods and I’m not quite done with details. Just waiting for some stuff to dry so figured I would take a pic. Thanks.
