This seems like as good a place as any to post some work in progress:

This looks great :thumbsup, have you had a chance to take any photos of the helmet altogether?

Not just yet. Had a couple of short-notice projects come into the workshop all of a sudden. Looks like it'll be a couple weeks before I get back to work on this.

Any one got updates? I ordered my boots last night. As I was going over the material with the ridges down the sleeve and duster what is that sewing stich called?

UPDATE: It looks to be an scam. Good luck I haven't paid yet. Emails are from 163.com, a chinese site.

I just bought my own from here:

You pay with PayPal so I think I'm safe. Free shipping and for 59.50USD

Did you get your boots yet for the First Order Snowtrooper?

I hope this isnt digging up an old thread, but just wanted to throw it out there that I just bought a pair of those Women's Kamiks. Yep, thats right. Desperate times, desperate measures. Couldnt find a men's pair anywhere, so I bit the bullet and ordered a size 12 womens. It'll be snug. VERY snug. But I'll update you all once they come in. For $60 I figured it'd be worth a shot, especially since they can be returned.
UPDATE: After reading plenty of other SCAM reviews, I decided to get a refund and report the site if not refunded. What a doofus move on my part..

I'm really loving the look of the Snowtrooper, I don't think I will be able to resist making a costume. Is anyone doing a helmet run? I might work on a 3D printable version if not.

Talk to Animefan. He's got a BEAUTIFUL run of them!

I ordered a pair of black canucks, from a reputable seller this time, so I'll do some paint testing and hope they come out half decent!

I was thinking of something like a white shoe polish. I initially got the black pair, but managed to get the white ones soon after. It was my opinion that we shouldn't "paint" it but try to "stain" it white, as it's a rubber material and will crack with traditional paint

Still trying to figure out how to get the images to post in-line rather than as attachment links, but FYI we're clearing out the last of our accurate NOS Kamik Canuck boots here, should anyone be interested:

What way were you planning on staining? I was going to do the spray paint primer, then a bunch of light coats of rustoleum white and a clear coat

I may be stepping into some pretty deep waters here but is anyone starting armor builds or is this something that I should start doing my self... you know - to loose my life into type thing? I saw some helmet builds which are starting out nice.

I'm working on the armor and the backpack. The 3d files for both are nearly ready. Will start machining them soon.

I got the large white female canucks. Was a bit worried on the size (biggest female is 42) as my shoes range from 40 to 45. But they fit me nicely.

I am awaiting my glowforge to model the rest and cut the pepakura, foam and stuff.

Did find two zippers in a high quality freebie bag that I might use for the shoe armour nylon cover.

But I am just finishing my dredd build, and starting the production phase of my Martian suit,. so this is kinda still in a research mode..

I got some 3d files from the 405th

Someone local used plastic dip for his boots. It took about five coats, but it looks pretty good. I believe it can be found at Home Depot/Lowes.
