Not that I am aware off, a lot of really old images had been uploaded to the older forums and lost when converted over to new software, I did ask if anyone had any backups of the older forums but no luck so far

Thanks again for the feedback. Progress on the helmet. I spent a lot of time on the vcoder. Overall I'm happy with the results. As usually, any feedback on them is appreciated. Next I moved onto the lens. I liked how others have used some type of post to mount them too. I created a bunch of different sized hex setoffs with an angle on them and 3D printed them out. I used Sugru to secure the mounts. I did go with only 2 per side, but was strategic in placement to ensure minimum to no gaps. I might go back and Sugru the lenses to the helmet for extra reinforcement. Again, I'm happy with the results. Helmet is together below with just the initial bolts. I still have to figure out the bottom. Again, any feedback is appreciated. Next steps are the hovi mics and the dreaded ears. I have the hovi mics painted and screens installed (failed taking pictures of them, so to come..).

Ironically, Dan, I just painted my vocoder two days ago and while drafting my next thread update yesterday I mentioned this thread. =)

A little touch up around some masking lines and will look awesome

Brow and neck rim have been painted, as well as attached the chin and respirators! It's starting to show its Clone/Stormtrooper lineage Need to touch up some areas, but nothing some of the weathering won't fill in. Just need to paint the teeth (which have been a pain), tube stripes, 501st markings, and weathering to make it complete. Then it's just playing the waiting game for my armor

And I’m IN!!! Newly minted TK-16900 reporting. Thanks for all the help and encouragement

Progress? Twice in a week? Outrageous. I assembled the sight assembly similar to I did before, but actually glued it. So used a drill bit to align the top to the riser, line it all up and then use a 3mm drill to add a locating hole to the top through the riser. This allowed me to use the 2 drill bits to align the parts whilst I super glued them together. Today a bunch of odds and ends came in so I was able to finish the pre-paint work. First the axle pin for the pulley: The drill bit I used was about 1.8mm diameter. An easy and cheap option for this is pin nails, which are 1.6mm so close enough for imperial work. As I was ordering some other fixings to finish off this blaster I ordered some brass ones to make cutting and smoothing easier. The brass can be easily cut with a pair of pliers and sands/files smooth quickly and easily. As there was holes in the riser and base plate I wanted to screw them together for extra strength. There is hardly any clearance under the plate so I opted to use counter sunk screws. The holes in the riser are 3mm so M3 wasn't an option, so I ordered a 3.3mm drill bit so I could tap them M4. I also used a counter sync on the base for the heads. Protip: when counter syncing slower is better or they go hexagonal, apparently. The riser is only just wide enough for M4 if you look below you can see the thread through the resin. The resin is slightly transparent so it's not as bad as it seems. The end result seems nice and solid. I'll prime with black this in parts and then assemble the pulley section so I can fix any glue residue. This will all then get final colour. I also got some long M4 grub screws to mount the trigger. I've gone for one 20mm long to act as the axle, and then 2 shorter 4mm ones to plug the ends and look tidy. Really I should have used a 3mm shaft and just used the 4mm screws to hold it in. Hind sight is lovely isn't it! The trigger was actually a failed print. The under side lifted and I realised this make it more ergonomically shaped so I ended up filing the other side to match and rounding it off. This makes it look better vs the solid block look it had before. I've not fitted the short grub screws here as I am just testing the fit. The TLJ PDF (I don't have one for the TFA files and I can't find anything on here) specs a 14mm long 4.5mm diameter spring. This can be made from a pen spring so I did that, but unfortunately this did not fit. So using Fusion 360 I measured the holes in the parts which came out at about 3.8mm +- a snifter. This means I don't have anything I can use to hand. Fortunately my loving wife found a supplier that sells springs to order, in a huge range of sizes and rates. https://springsandthings.me.uk These are cut from a length so mm accuracy isn't guaranteed so I've ordered over and I can cut down if needed, and in 2 different strengths. This also means they are "unfinished" and they won't have the flat ends, so may wear into the parts. This isn't a huge deal though as I can't imagine me using it a lot and worst case I'll glue it in place.

You are at the right place to ask the questions, this is a build thread so ask as many as you want. I personally remember the anxiety of making a wrong cut or decision, but the good news is almost every "goof" is fixable or you have the option to order a new replacement piece (and practice on the old piece). I screwed up the cuts in the calfs and had to order new pieces, but I figured out what I did wrong and the second set was perfect. As to the hands, get out the blue painters tape (or whatever you have) and mock it up. I have wondered about using magnets to close up the sides (maybe something to think about). Anyways, keep up the good work! Lou

We aren't doing a patch, that image was for use on Facebook

Not sure about honorary mention, but there would be serious bragging rights!

Does #501 gets an honorary mention?

Do you think you can make a round version of this which can be made in to a circular patch?

Congratulations Alexander! Countdown from 10! Here we go!

BUCKETS OFF to Alex (azoroes) TK 22504 of the German Garrison for being the latest addition to the rank of Centurion. Way to go, sir! Only 10 spots left, Troopers...

Congrats again Daniel.
