I would have loved to have seen the cartoon use RMQ's concept TKs there are already a lot of his some (concepts in the new cartoon)
I fell they have taken the TKs a step backwards with Filoni new cartoon.
my head hurts,,,,,

Hi all I normally a nice guy and like seeing new stuff for the TKs, but I was not happy with Filoni and his animated team.
Yes I think the cartoon is going to be cool..and want to see something other that the Clone Wars.......but I feel that they have done an injustice to the look of the TK (not doing their homework)
I have it in my mind that when it came to the design of the new animated TK that one of more of the 3D PC geeks working for Filoni had either one of both of the FX lid and the MR/EFX PCR lids on their desk and said in a meeting when Filoni (more than likely said) "we need to start on the design of the Stormtroopers asap!!! I want to have the old school vibe in this cartoon" then one or more of the PC geeks spoke up and said "I got one of the lids I bought off of Ebay! " more than likely they have not a clue that those two helmets do not best represents the TK...and worked off of them, instead of walking down to the archives and scanning one of the many original lids the LFL has........
I would love to talk to Filoni and let him know he has made an issue for the TK world.
mix of the RCR and FX (if they had a child)
some of my 501st mates are it is just the style of animation....honestly there is bad animation in the world.....
------------
I have some of the ones in the Legion always saying "Joe Q Public cannot tell, this is great for the TKs!!!" (as they pick their nose)....
I was in the C6 501st armor panel and we had both FX and a screen linage helmet sitting side by side....none of us said a word bad or anything about makers or anything.
Q and A can up and one of the "Joe Q Public" asked :"why did the helmet lid look different from one another? " he went on to ask the one looks to be off and why? He was tlking about the FX......
Paul H (FISD Founder) stated " that is just the difference in the makers...
So "Joe Q Public" can tell......

Any further update on this build, I can't wait to see it done (also, any plans to produce a run of lids off the back of the build?- if Mason ok's it obviously)
Sorry for the delay everyone on updates for the KTK. I been busy working My Garrison command staff and making sure my garrsion is going in the correct direction for 2013 and future.
Hey Jim,
I am still working on the armor. but the lid it now totally revamped into my likings and what I see in in it from the game. As for Mason. I hope him the best but have now heard from him in a while.
While ya wait fro the armor pix, here is the all new lid. I redid the paint job from scratch and made should that is has the correct number of tubes stripes correct number of "vent lines" (AKA vertical black stripes) in the back traps (all details are hand painted), battle wear, and wearthering to mactch the style of the KTK in the game.....
If you look at the way is was painted before (By Mason) the lid had faux details and needed some corrections to the trap details and chin.
My all new revamped KTK lid:
Originally the way it was before I purchased the helmet:

Hello All,
Just got word that my Death Trooper is now officallly 501st!!!!!! YAAAAAH!!!
I did some updating to it since the last time post back last October, and it is now the third for the Legion. Now, I am looking to eat some Rebel Scum Brians.......
Man Salacious Crumb did a number on my left side of my face....I now know how C3PO felt on the Sail Barge.....
BTW, the puppet is a direct cast for one of the screen used Salacious.

CONGRATZ ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!

OK all, sorry for the delay on this.......As I stated above was not happy with some of the design work that Mason (dashrazor) did (Bad paint job and the lack of/or fake looking indented rectangular design to the back of the helmet (just below the back traps) So I ripped everything apart and start my way ( I do not settle for second best when it comes to my costumes and props)
First, have a look at the way it was originally done (Mason's Work):
Here is what I have done to correct the faux indented rectangular design to the back of the helmet:
Cut out the design:
Added the 3D beveled walls:
Added the back panel and painted the helmet khaki green.
Face Plate had some problems and Mason had done a tape job and glued the areas of the mic tip to try in fix the cracks etc:
I repaired/ corrected the problems (now they are stable)
After repairing and a good clean up, I repainted the face plate to the khaki green.
I painted the helmet the khaki green because of the way the game trooper show it has chipped paint like the ANH/ESB Lids did. I wanted to have the "Battle Wear" to look proper and real (so I will be layering the paint to give it the realistic 3D look of paint chipped off, and not adding it to the paint job after ( no faux here ).
BTW, here are some of the other problems that I faced (helmet had white gaffer tape holding sections together)
I have now properly repaired them all. No pix of the repairs sorry :- ( forgot.....
I have my gasket molding armor kit and TKboots in hand (will be posting/updating on this soon......................)
On another note, I have the DoopyDoos (pipe kit) I bought it instead of the full complete kit, because after looking at the screen grabs of the weapons, the KTK blasters do not look like any normal E11. So I will be making sure mine looks like what is on the screen (game).
Stay tuned.
Have a Happy New!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully not the same type of surprises that had the Pathfinders in a tizzy at the beginning of the year...
ya got me,
We are all now going to be Biker Scout instead of TKs (it is the 30th anniversary for ROTJ 
) We are now the 1st Imperial Scout Detachment (Still F.I.S.D).... Just kidding!!! 
Love to all my TB brothers and sisters.

The French version of the CRL is still showing TD, but I assume that is a fix in progress... Thanks for the update Tom!
It's being worked on (changed very soon)

Hello All, I have some great news!!!
The Heavy Weapons Troopers are officially a TK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been working with Ken (LMO) to correct somethings for the TKs.....One of which is the designation of the HWT. For years originally under TD or Sandtrooper, but this Battle Front video game trooper has more TK parts (sniper Knee and Ab details) to show it was truly a TK and not a TD
So all you that are Heavy Weapon Troopers are now under your correct designation ( TK ) So wear it proud!!!!!!
Special thank you to Ken (muppet) Legion Membership Officer (LMO) with this.

BTW, some more happy surprises very soon for all the TKs...........
Stay tuned!! With Unquestioned Loyalty,

IBut if I'd known that the Lurie Hospital event was going to be publicized on the FISD, I might have worn my TK, rather than represent the Scruffy Nerfherder that day.
Cheers, troops!
But you are one of the better looking Solo's Brian. Next time we will need you to play Han as Han plays a TK...LOL
Congratz Frank on TOTM!!!!

OK update, Stripped down the lid to have it ready to redo/make sure it matches the armor. I got word that my armor kit will be shipped in the next day or two.... TK boots are on the way as well.
Now looking at the Blaster is something different than any normal E11 from the OT. (kinda like the plain ESB) but without the front sight /muzzle and no t-tracks or vent hole and very small mag house....Almost like a hodge podge of a DL-17 muzzle with the sterling folding stock, tank scope and regular scope rail (which the DL-17 derives from the Sterling) so it could work. Plus the DL-17 was originally an Imperial weapon that the Rebels stole and/or bought off the black market etc...
-
Wickedly cool!!
Everyone looks great! -
thanks for the update Tom. I was really wanting to do this, but I can't think of a trooper who can do it justice better than you!
Thanks Todd, I know you would have done an excellent job as well...... If is looks to drive me crazy
or crazy-er....It may end up on your door step. -
Hey all just wanted to keep you all updated. I will be starting in on the Kashyyyk Stormtrooper very soon. (waiting on the kit)
I have the lid now... I was not happy with the finish paint job, so I will be starting on re-doing it and upgrade somethings like the u shape neck trim that was on it when I got it. Plus try to make the paint job match to be more consistent the armor. .
Here is the pix from Mason, Will post more pix of the redo soon.....
