And another day with the snowtrooper... The gauntlets didn't have the wrist band that are needed. The complete front area is missing with the gauntlets. Therefore I had to construct these parts and did that with paper... Then I started applying fibreglass...
The cod piece is a real problem, as the details are in different places. Therefore I had to cut off the two boxes! I did this after I heated the codpiece and fitted it closer to my body, as it was really loose around the hips. Then I used fibreglass to...
Today I got the mail, that my Clone Training Fatigues were approved for the 501st, therefore I can now troop also in these. Here are some detail photos.

Making huge progress with my Snowie! Working on the parts whenever I can, but mix it all up. So I can work on one while the other has to dry or harden. To keep it all a bit more clear on here I will post the progress on the parts over a few posts, each...
