Hey guys and gals,
Although i've build quite a lot, and a for a long time, doing full costumes is new for me. And i absolutely love it.
When i saw the pics of the new Snowtrooper at Celebrations, i decided to make this my first costume build. Now time for its own WIP thread here on the RPF.
Still at an early stage, here's my progress so far....
3d file (using Rhino3d) of the 'mictip' (for lack of a better term) on the chin of the helmet, drawn up and machined from chemiwood. White bits in styrene.
In primer. Will add the groove on the side, on the lathe. After that, i'll add the white bits on the side.
Start of the backpack in 2d (AutoCAD)/3d (Rhino3d), tracing a multitude of photos and trying to compensate for perspective.
The 'beltbox'. Again in 3d, the pouches on each side are simple shapes for blocking out the space. Nothing fancy.
The belt looks to be made from a fine ribbed rubber flooring. I found something locally and got a sample. Close, but not a perfect match (still looking). Cut a strip of the width of the belt.
The beltbox is two parts. Front is white, rear is black. I only took a shot of the black part being machined. I will mold and cast this in black tinted pu rubber.
A quick combo for the belt, and both parts for the box.
Thanx for looking.
Cheers,
Wasili
