I just wanted to see you wearing the kit. looks great.

And you didn't send me pictures of the completed kit! That being said, the whole thing put together looks fantastic.

Not sure if I have access as a TK here or not, heres my profile http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=14211&costumeID=241

My death trooper took about 5 months start to finish. Take your time and make it great, looking forward to seeing the progress.

Check me out, I'm approved! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=14211&costumeID=241

I printed out a bunch of copies of the TK ref photos, and drew lots of ideas for what the for what the Death trooper could look like. that was the hardest part, creating a good concept. Because I live in a desert, I wanted a somewhat mummified look as opposed to a freshly dead zombie. Thats why I went for more browns and very little blood. Once I knew what I wanted to do, I took my TK and sanded down the surface, and dremmeled the cracks and gaps. I used acrylic paint matching the color schemes in this forum and used a sponge to apply it, and than wiped it of with a wet towel. I did this repeatedly until I had the texture and color I wanted. The facial prostetic, I made that myself, I have a some mask making skills, and had a very specific look I was going after, and I didn't want a full mask. I can take the bucket off drink water or eat a snack with out any issues, the bucket on nd rejoin the ranks of the undead. I took him out to a convention and a zombie walk, the reaction from th epublics been overwhelming. Lots of fun to wear, was it worth sacrificing my TK? Only time will tell.

Cool thanks, glad to know i'm doing it right. I'll be submitting my approval pics this weekend, (Last batch of photo's didn't turnout so well.) This would be a great kit to make official.

Hello all, I've been inspired by the Deathtrooper builds here and have been working on my own Dt for a while. Almost ready to send in the approval photos, but thought I'd share a few pics here and make sure I'm on the right track.

Just got my TK approved, looking for 501'st status here. BH 6722 http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=14211&costumeID=166
