Pben' s Shadow Guard TFU WIP

Hello! After a lot of studying several options I've finally decided to go for a Shadow Guard :shadow: )

My current under working set is:

Under suit: A German army overall (Portugal)

Belt: From SBR Props (Spain)

Gloves: From Glove City Leather (USA)

Kama: Swatch collecting (red and black samples - not happy yet with red ones)

Boots: Riding boots acquired

Helmet: Order it to KC (Germany)

Armor: I've built from a pepakura base model the ab plate, vambraces, shins and spats. I had an issue with the shoulders - explained at the following messages of this wip and have bought the shoulders and back from a member of this forum. A friend of mine will give me a spare TK chest.

Options: Saberpike and Outer robe: Still considering some issues / not worried at the moment

Those boots look really solid. What do they look like from the back?

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow because I've asked for a bigger shaft size. It must have a zipper because I have Gamorrean Guard calf tight muscles... I've tried 3 other pull boots with embarrassing results... :wow: I'll post images as soon as possible.

Those zippers can be quite helpful for larger calfs.

You bet! And this new boots model is all leather which is better for long troops. Unfortunately the zipper will prevent Level 2 and 3...

Back of the boots with my Gamorrean calf that now fits cool inside:

With the overall, shin and spats armor (not fixed just leaning)

Steady and comfy walking - I've even noticed that my overall size allows to make that fabric drop effect on the knee and over the top of the boots, like we can see in the game character.

Time to fiberglass what I've done until now.

After a first coat of resin I've let the ab plate rest and cure with the sides free of support, in order to let gravity shape a more rounded form plate:
