|

|
Hello! Like many in Sunrider base, I’m working on a Hoth Trooper, specifically the hanger trooper. Here’s my current progress! I do have the vest rank badge and the hat comm greeblie, but I hadn’t attached that when I took these pictures. These were taken inside at night and with overhead light.
Jumpsuit, hat, and gloves are by PilotBay.
I still need the vest, scarf, and shoulder badge thingy. I started working on the scarf last night, but I’m sure how wide it should be? I’m planning on using some brown fleece that I found in the remnant section at JoAnns for like $7. I’d love some feedback to make sure I’m on the right track! Thanks! _________________ 1138th Special Forces Squad Leader

Another update! The vest was made by my amazing friend, Heather! All I need is the scarf and a few other small details.
This picture shows the colors best.

I think your costume looks great. I am not an expert for this costume. I know that the patch on the shoulder is still missing but what are the other small details you mentioned? _________________ RAID GRRRL-Squad-Leader 2019 - present

Yeah the patch is one of the things missing still. I need the scarf, patch, possibly code cylinders and a comm pad. It’s not listed in the standard but I have a pockets for those on the suit. Hoping a could judge possibly chime in and let me know if they’re needed or not?  _________________ 1138th Special Forces Squad Leader

Great progress! I'm jealous. I hope PilotBay finishes my hat soon, as that'll be a big step forward.
I still need to work on my vest. Yours looks gray... I thought they were tan? Is gray the color I should be looking at? Or is that just the usual lighting quirks?
The standard just says "The vest is several shades darker than the coveralls." _________________

It’s a darker tan, I think it just has a cooler undertone while the flightsuit has a warmer undertone. It also could be the lighting or both of those things combined? If the judges deem it to be too grey, then I should be able to dye this one easily. Hopefully it won’t come to that lol. _________________ 1138th Special Forces Squad Leader

Since you're seeing it as tan in person, it sounds like you may just want to play with lighting a bit when you're shooting your approval photos, to make sure the tan tones come out more, and then you should be good.  _________________

I was just playing around and photographing the fabric. It looks tan with a cool undertone by itself in a photo. I think it is a combination of lighting and the warm undertone of your jumpsuit. I matched it to Luke's Hoth vest color. But if you decide you need to dye it, I have scraps you can use to practice on. |

I think what I’ll do is take the regular set of app pictures (when I get there that is lol) but also include additional pictures with different lighting (inside, flash, no flash, sun, shade, etc). I feel like it’s just one of those colors that photographs differently under different lighting conditions  _________________ 1138th Special Forces Squad Leader

I finished up the scarf last night! It’s just some brown fleece I found in the remnant section of JoAnns I think all I need is the shoulder patch; I also finished up a wrist comm pad if it’s needed!
It’s sitting kind of funny on the foam head but I’ll make sure it’s looking good when I wear it lol. _________________ 1138th Special Forces Squad Leader
