hope not... I have some in my bucket

this is an amazing build! Can't wait to see it finished!!

^^ What he said looking great mate, this is going to be a nice TKC

nice!

I would love to get ahold of a ROTJ detonator for my TKC, I've beenlooking for one for a while actually

IMHO I don't think a lightsaber is really necessary, as the only reason a TKC has one is because of a cheat. The actual TKC character has a blaster.

Thanks mate, I used the grinding wheel attachment for the dremel and just cut around. Glad I managed to get it the right height. I'll have to suit up in the snowie and get some photos taken

from the muzzle to the end of the d-ring thingy, is about 490mm. From the end of the butt to the end of the stock is about 490mm aswell

alrighty folks, my blaster is done I ended up using the doopydoos stock as I failed really badly at bending the stock arms that I got off Lucas. Subtle weatherig was done using a dark iron coloured paint, drybrushed on. The blaster has a nice texture to it thanks to the hammered paint, I just couldn't get it to show up properly in my photos. The sticky up thingy on the front sight was just carved out of a wooden clothes peg and superglued on Here is how it is, Please let me know if there is anything I need to change

any further word on the side rivets?

Looks great mate! Good Luck

These are the same dimensions I used too

Couldn't have put it better myself

I would say just paint the raised part of the button... have a look at the centurion threads and also any screen caps or original armour reference... you should be able to get the size close from looking at that. When you are doing the scratches, use sandpaper to make them, or if you plan to use making fluid, at least scuff up the edges with sandpaper to make it look more natural and blend in better.

Looking good mate, just one thing I can;t make out.... Do you have the ab button plates and are yet to glue them on? Your ab plate should look like this not without the plate (like a TD) as your looks from your photos. If you don't have the ab button plates, try sending one of the makers a PM, or ask one of your garrison's Sandys. They may have a spare set you can buy Also, it might be worth considering toning down the paint scratching too. It's just a little too much for my personal taste, but it's up to you. Maybe try painting over a majority of the white marks, and by adding in scratches going in diferent dirrections, just makes it look more natural "battle damage" rather than having the same direction which looks like you've been dragged along the ground behind a landspeeder As for your questions, 1. Not really sure what you mean here, sorry. 2. Jesse TK4702 makes awesome thermal det clips and kits. Just look for them in the For sale section. 3. Yep, humbrol #5 is the right colour for the thermal det tube. Any more questions just ask

Ahhh, now where on earth would you get such a blaster? Does anybody do kits?

Thanks so much!

looks good, the only thing I can see is your side rivets. Only two should be visible, the third one should be covered by the belt like this (borrowed from johnblackk's centurion thread)

If the black had a TK on the background too it would look really awesome

maybe try some balsa wood wrapped with some thinner leather?

Great shots!! Could you do it for a TKC too?

another thing that stevechewbacca picked up on for his centurion submission that is not included in the crl here The thigh ammo belt shall be connected by brads/split rivets only - standard rivets are not acceptable. The bottom corners of the thigh ammo belt shall be rounded off. is that the ammo belt appears to be glued on and no edges are rounded as seen here (hope steve doesn't mind me borrowing his photo) can also see it here and here is mine

There is one on the top and bottom of the kidney and abplate on both the left and right sides... Well that's at least what I can see anyway seems to be about 20mm away from the edge, which is about 10mm away from the edge of the rubber trim?

In the crl it says However, you can clearly see side rivets( on both sides) in these screen caps... But there are only 2, the kidney ones lining up with the belt rivets and the others the same distance on the ab plate. Just want to make sure that it is acceptable so that I can go ahead and install them... could I get people's opinions please?

Update time! I'm still waiting on some plastic bits from ZeroRoom (stock, muzzle) but here is where I am at now First off is my bronze m-19 scope casting from TK4702, man this thing is detailed! It aslo has a bit of weight to it so it feels very genuine How I received the scope How it looks now This is not goin to be the final finish... I still need to do a satin black coat over the rest of the blaster. Let me know what you think
