So update on this.
 
 
All the 3d modelers who had In progress works on Moff Gideon have abandoned the projects as not enough people purchased the files for them to want to put in the effort going forward.
 
It's annoying as I've been waiting for these files to get finished to move forward.
 
That said, I'll finish my modified versions above and paint them when the weather isn't awful up here in the PNW.
 
I'll get back on that horse again. Going for fitting of suit battle armor suit this week, so there's that.
 
That leaves figuring- a back plate/jetpack combo. I have a jet pack, and it can be good with mods and elbow grease (lots of both).
Leather Suit- pending measures and fitting
finishing vambraces
Shock staff

I was waiting for the vambraces to be designed from the cham, but I am impatient so started doing a heavy mod on the do3d vambraces
 
Here are theirs (I didn't photo them before modding).
 

 
Mods

There aren't any bands on the inside forearm, so i sanded them down.
The geometry of the raised sections was off, so I send them down
 I filled in the spaces with epoxy putty and will make them smooth.
 

 
Also there were some pieces missing, so I modeled the trapezoidal flame thrower vent, and the side greeblie raised sections, and added those. And the tubing on the sides needs to be extended.

 
And now I wait.
 
I figure that once this is all done cham will have finished the vambraces making all my work moot... but it gives me something to do and nudges the universe to manifest things sometimes. Hah!

Some progress...
 
These are chamanleonfx files

These are chamanleonfx files
 
 







 
 

So I got a standee.... So I can see detail at full size. Very illuminating what details I missed. I sent closeups to one the 3d modelers to ensure a closer detail as he works on the new parts.
 

 
It shows some vambrace detail, foot cover detail that was pretty hard to see.
 




 
I also have a printed and painted chest plate. So that's neat.
 

 
So I'll wait for some updated moff files, through out my orignal knees (or give them to a mando in need)
 
Found someone to help with casting the ab section, probably using smooth on. So. Many. Steps.

Knees -(Do3d caps with Pew pew props blasters) resin 6 Hrs
Belt and buckle- (chamanleonfx) resin 4 hrs

Jetpack (Do3d) will check (chamanleonfx) but their jetpack looks very good. FDM left and right 93 hours each, center 89 hrs
Chest (chamanleonfx) (initial was to small, aborted to scale up. FDM

Bunch of stuff waiting for the paint. More not pictured.
 

Here are some of the other resin parts by Chamanleonfx
 
I'm in a bit of a holding pattern until the biceps finish
 

Helmet is prime time
 

Shaye's real popular!!! Everyone wants a piece!!

So I'm making some progress on this and I've started some work.
 
Worming with sheevs emporium we've figured out the suit pattern. Three tichkness of quilting. And using foam instead of batting. The suit is leather.
 
Helmet from chamanleonfx  , currently printing
 
The cape is similar in cut to the other cape, but is longer. No hex trim. Trim is dark grey almost black. Red lining.
 
Other armor will also be likely from chamanleonfx or mystery makers.  They are not done Desi. Do3d has some inaccuracies,  so not using their stuff.
 
Chest lights from frutto technologies 
 
Boots and gloves seem to basic.
 
Black Chelsea's for  boot? Most is covered by armor.
 
Basic black gloves, covered by armor.
 
I will have to figure out how to do jetpack through a cape. Currently thinking rare earth magnets, but will depend onass of jetpack.
 
Then to create  the staff. No research done there  yet. Was trying to nail down suit.
 
Exploring ideas for midsection. It's either foam or rubber.  Similar to what the beskar commandos have.
 
Will update with more progress and pics when at home and when imagur isn't being broken.
 
 

Quite surprised it didn't end up in another Detachment, but pleased to welcome another Gideon variant into the IOC.   Thought this was going to be another Veers situation, LOL
 
I look forward to seeing your work again, Shayé!

Team - I am happy to announce that Moff Gideon - Season 3, will be placed with the IOC.
 
Shaye - keep on documenting your build!
 
I am going to rename the thread a bit, too.

I grabbed those images, but I appreciate you posting them here.
 
I've the helmet files, for both Do3d and Chamanleon and his are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.
 
I had the do3d armor for my first gideon, but it needed mods and they never updated the file.
 
 
d03d doesn't have the finalized file, but it'll probably get you there with some notable mods and finishing work to get accurate. I'll be keeping my eye on it.

In looking at it  more closely-
I think the top is Vader, the neck looks like a vader suit.
The pants might also be vader, but the attachment point between the top of the leg armor is a little funky. Reminiscent of his belt
 
Quilted suit, looks Vaderish
 
 

 
 
Quilted Vader top, neck in vader style. Open at the back here.

 
 
Mysterious Ribbing. Looks similar to the belt in width, Radiates out from under the codpiece. EDIT- Gasket seal similar to Sith Trooper.
 

As far as I can tell, the only difference in that first scene was the absence of mustache. And I do not mind the ping!

Glad someone has started modeling it! Good looking out. Do3d gets to it pretty fast too!

You might want to check with Spec Ops before developing this one! 
 
Just a heads up! I know you'll knock this one out of the park as well!
