new Va shadow guard
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2019 5:42 pm
greetings everyone!!! thanks to a black friday sale i managed to score a walt's trooper factory shadow guard i loved them in TFU and they just look amazing. it wont arrive for awhile tho so i am going to gather up my soft parts, these are the gloves and jump suit i will be using
so i know the breast pockets will be covered by the armour but what about the collar section and the hip pockets? will the kama cover those? and speaking of the kama, this is the red kap brand jump suit so what fabric will i need for it? the specs say it is a cotton and synthetic blend so do i just need to use cotton? for the belt i already had an officer approved so i am going to take the buckle from that and just make a new belt, i built my gun belt rig for my MMCC mandalorian so im capable of leather working lol, and finally i will also be using my boots from the officer as well, although im thinking about upgrading those since the christmas season is coming up as well! the only thing im having issues with it the saber staff. i know that it is not required but come on, im not gonna troop without it!!! overall im 6ft 2in so im going to size it about my height with a 24" blade but how long are the separate sections? im confident i can turn them on my lathe i just need a starting point!
ok long rant over! i am looking forward to this build and any advice that people have concerning assembling the Walt's kit would be appreciated! not sure if i wanna do gloss or matte yet so we shall see!!
EDIT: for the outer tunic, what does the CRL mean it needs to be backed by another fabric? and velvet needs to match my paint right? gloss or Matte?
