Thanks! Yes the TS strapping/greeblie kit is amazing. It contains everything to complete the build, using the original methods, as best as they are known.
TM is also putting a Dengar strapping/greeblie kit together for me.
Not Dengar! Boo Hiss! More Dengar!
Kidding. Love it man. :D
Patience, my friend. :lol:

Been working on the backpack during the last week.
First I installed the top velcro connectors using split rivets and glued the sides onto the back.

All hand-painted, except for the lettering, which is decals.

Then I cut out the metal plate for the chest recessed box using some scrap aluminum from my AT-AT chestbox build. I used the TB decals for the shape:

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to trim length off of the front and the back cowl once I get the armor on.

A small victory today.
After a couple of attempts I got the hand guards sewn onto the gloves:

I greatly underestimated how difficult it would be to sew these on! Getting the needle thru the holes near the knuckles, from the inside of the glove, was really hard.
-
That sounds like a nightmare! I would have stabbed myself repeatedly while doing it.
-
Very small update today. I added the chicago screw to the top of the helmet.
Measured for center:

And after drilled and installed:

I'm still trying to decide if I want to use pads or a hardhat suspension system in the helmet.

I would think the pads would be more comfortable.

Then I did some fitting to determine how long to make the nylon shoulder straps for the backpack. Once I had that figured out I decided to attach the nylon straps to the chest using some snaps. I made a couple snap plates, and then added the snaps to the actual straps:

Then I attached the shoulder straps to the chest and glued the snap plates:

Then I drilled the holes in the shoulder bells and sewed them to the duster:

Finally, I weathered the helmet. Looking for feedback on how it looks:

Looking good! I think the weathering looks pretty good but will let some snowies opine as they would know better.

I had a few spare minutes, so I added the helmet pads and chin strap:

I'm in the home stretch...
I thought this label would be hidden by the cod:

but it's not, so I removed it while wearing the pants.
Then I added the lense to the helmet. This is just a temporary installation:

And finally, the first time I have put this entire thing on. The duster, pants, boots, and pouches still need to be weathered.

More progress.
I trimmed some excess off of the side of the cowl.

I wanted to raise the backpack a bit, so I added additional snaps to the shoulder straps. Raised it about 1".

TrooperMaster pointed out to my, on my Blizzard Force build WIP, that I put the lower backpack strap on backwards, so the velcro fold-over ended up on the outside, which is not accurate. Bummer:
wrong side:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4745/25214854327_b26dd7b78a_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Eq9HHH)Untitled (https://flic.kr/p/Eq9HHH) by daryl doak (https://www.flickr.com/photos/136564629@N02/), on Flickr
So I decided to remove the velcro and sew it on the proper side.

Now it's on the right side:

I decided to make the duster close tighter, so I moved the snaps out.

After I changed how the duster closed in the front, the belt loops were no longer in the proper spots. So I moved them also:
New position on left in photo, old on right:

Yes, yes just weathering on the soft parts, and anything else that might be pointed out on my Blizzard Force WIP. I’ve been procrastinating it long enough. Lol

How do you weather that? Acrylic paint or something else?

I added some brown weathering, to the existing black, onto all of the armor (it's nearly impossible to see in the pictures).
So here is what I think will be my final version before submitting:

Then I finally got over my fear and weathered the soft parts:
First I brewed some tea and used a spray bottle to spray down the areas I wanted to yellow on the pants, duster, and gloves.
Then I took a rag that was still moist from black weathering paint and I dipped into the brown paint. I then rubbed the brown/black mixture on the pouches, gloves, duster, and pants, in the areas I wanted to look soiled.

I might have gone overboard on the pants, we'll have to see when I put them on. If so I'll wash them and try again:

Very nice Daryl. Are the holsters optional on the snowies?

Yes, they are optional in the CRL, they did not have them in the movie.

Yeah I didn't think they did, but wasn't positive.

I received my Hyperfirm ESB E-11. It's a B-grade, but it looks really good:

The Hyperfirm ESB is just an ANH with no greeblies (power cylinders and counter), but it still has the mount for the counter:

So that needed to be removed. I started with the sanding barrel in my dremel and got it most of the way:

Then I used a smaller attachment to cut the area under the scope rail:

Then finished with some sandpaper, and a little black paint:

There is a little square of the foam interior showing, where the thick part of the mount was located (which I may address at some point), but overall I'm happy for only spending about 30 minutes.
Then I put a little weathering on my holster, using the same black and brown paint I weathered my armor and soft parts with (you can't see anything in these pictures):

After trooping this costume a few times I realized I wasn't happy with how the helmet was fitting.
So I changed the way the chin strap was arranged and also changed the pad arrangement, doubling-up the side pads.

Now it fits tighter and I don't feel like a bobble-head in the helmet.
I wasn't happy with how I had glued the vinyl cowl to the face plate. It had some serious creases that I didn't like, caused by stretching from using magnets to glue it down.

So I ordered a new set of vinyl from TM.
First I trimmed and weathered the vinyl.

Then using just a bead of e6000 this time, I secured the vinyl to the face using tape.

I'm much happier with the way it looks now.
