Hi guys,

i bought in december '13 a MonCal TS Armor. But i had not enough time to finish my Snowtrooper yet. But i want to share with you, what is done! :)

First, there was the kit, arrived in 3 days from UK to Germany! :)



After the helmet built (sorry no wip pics of helmet) i tried to built the armor parts...first one was the chestarmor! ;)





Sewing the velcro... :)





Drilled holes in the chestplate and add the strapping...



Added the backpack with screws and velcro (seen on the moncal disc)...





What a night!! :D



Added holes and studs to the cod...



Glued the armshins with zag a gap glue...





Few weeks later, the paintjob outside my apartment...



The first testfit was come! Can't wait for this... :)
Sorry for this...i hate selfies. :roll:



Few weeks later i began with the weathering on my hard and softparts...hope you like it ;)















And the final selfie... :D




And here guys...a picture of my complete TS...not ready yet...i've ordered a new duster! Have to sewing on the handplate and shoulder plates! ;)
Last weekend i got a original copy of a Stunt E-11 of ESB from RS-Propmasters ;)




Any opinions? :D You're welcome! ;)

hanks so much for this feedback! :)
 
Looks great. Wish i had the space for that costume also. Where are the boots from

Thank you, guys! :)
You can get the Mukluks from ebay. Look for Canadian Army Mukluks and you will find screen accurate stuff. :)
 
That's an absolutely fabulous and well done ESB Snow Trooper :) I love the weathering ... great selfies too ;) ... Is it a hot costume to wear? - yes pun intended ;)

I know...my naked arm, but that's OT...! ;D
 
Great shots, but I think your Duster is a little too yellow. You obviously haven't weathered it yet?? Get it dirty and it'll probably blend in a bit better.
 
Awww man, love it!
The snowies always were one of my favorite costumes from the OT!
Yours looks awesome, mate!

Tolles Kostüm, vorallem dein "weathering" ist hervorragend! ( Was ist eine vernünftige Übersetzung für weathering? Verwitterung? Verschmutzung? :confused )
