  1. Update #2 Been a few weeks since my last update but everything is going forward with the build. All the major Armor pieces have been trimmed, cleaned up, Fitted for Strapping, etc. Painting has started (See Below For more Info). A few minor parts are left to clean up and fit (Knuckle Plates for example) Upon further studying the ABS parts in the kit - we decided to have some of them replaced for more detail. There is nothing wrong with these parts per say - But some of the newer 3d Print files have more detail and look closer to the Model files from the game. So far - Both Hand Plates and Both Arm Bracers were replaced with parts printed on a 6k resin machine using a custom blend of resin for Max durability and detail. The parts look outstanding and will be incorporated into the build. Robe is about 6 weeks since i placed the order - Hope to hear back from the maker soon. Paint: We are doing something a little different with the acolyte. The paint was one of the parts even if i had the knowledge to build the armor - i was never comfortable doing myself. My friend who is helping me with the build on the other hand - is one of the best armor and prop builders / painters i have ever seen. The Paint will Multi layered. The Initial Black Primer / Basecoats have been applied. We will be using Alumaluster for the Gunmetal Layer over the entire body. For those that dont know the paint - its most commonly used these days to give Din Djarin that lovely Beskar look and its expensive to use on this scale of painting - but having multiple suits made using this paint in our squad - the results speak for themselves and it was an easy decision to invest. The paint will be further darkened and weathered from that point forward before being sealed up to match the reference photos. Hopefully have pics of that final paint job in the coming weeks. Excited to see it coming together after all these years!
