Hello from Dublin

Hi all, 

I'm Barry from Dublin, 

long time Star Wars fan and signed up to the forum a few weeks ago but wasn't sure what costume I wanted to build  Since seeing Rogue One and upon several rewatche's I've decided on a Shoretrooper 

I've been looking at various builds on http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/ and Shoretrooper Fam on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1742353536003671 and have started acquiring some of the soft parts, boots and the stl files to begin 3d printing this over the next couple of months.  .... wish me luck!

Welcome Barry, and congratulations on the choice! One of my own favourites... As you're already on Pathfinders I'm sure you'll find plenty of help there, and don't hesitate to ask here if you've any questions or are looking for local(ish) suppliers for anything. Looking forward to seeing your work - it would be great if you could create a progress thread on our Pathfinders subforum here

Hey Barry,

Welcome & that's some choice for your costume. It's a beauty alright.

Looking forward to seeing your build progress. We'd love to see a build thread with pics. It then helps others who may want to build the costume in the future.

Hello Barry and welcome to the forums.

Shoretrooper is an excellent choice.

Keep us updated on your build or even start a build thread, we love build threads and may be able to offer you some help or pointers as you progress.

Good luck with your build and may the force be with you, oops I mean 'long live the Empire' 😁😎👍

Thanks!.... 

Yep, I'll get a build log going and will post my current progress 

I have some soft parts, such as boots, Jodhpurs 

Paint, some of the webbing to rig up the armour and create a Sling for the E22 blaster

I've started some test prints as I plan on printing everything in PETG for durability and what to make the sanding / priming as minimal as possible
