Quick update for me -Today I got the shins done, ab plate 50% done
and one gauntlet put together - still neds a little more re-shaping then the seams filled.

Was interesting make the gaunts out of sintra.

Chest & back wth part of the mod on the way.

Still need to TB Bells tho.

I'll get some pics up when I get a chance.

c ool can't wait to see pics.

Here is a screen capture I found from the game. This is what we see on the top part of the back of the action figure cardbacking.

Excellent cap!

I noticed that this is more battle gray for the armor and helmet. Those shoulder bells, what do you think they used. Mando?

I think the TK could be mod for the abd armor, since the chest really looks like tK

its done like the grey to give the gloss armour feel.
Shoulder bells are modified TK

So what color are you going with - a flat black? with a clear coat on top?

Sorry haven't posted pics, I was hoping to have some more of the pieces in for a more complete update.

I, personally, have never been a fan of overly shiny black if the intent of the costume is "shadow" or "stealth". With that said, I think a flat black with a clear coat would look just fine. In fact, my SG helmet was painted black ( I'm suspecting that this finish was maybe a satin, even though the can just said black), with no clear coat. I still may do that, but just from the paint job alone, the black shined on its own and I am leaning more to paint the armor (whenever I get it done) the same color so that it matches.

I think whatever finish you decide to do, just keep it consistant between both helmet and armor.

Well, I still don't necessarily subscribe to the belief that "Shadow" equals "stealth". The Amazing Disappearing Shadowtroopers in The Force Unleashed notwithstanding, "Shadow" still seems more a mark of elite status or special training/tasking than the white (or red, in these guys' case) troopers at the other end of the spectrum.

I think I will try some test pices with both flat and satin with a either clear or dullcote and see
what works.
