    This topic went down well! :laugh1:

     

    I think it gives us a good idea of the answer! :D

    Love the weathering on your suit, mate. I think you got the more subtle greyish dirt look of some of the troopers just right. Mine's a bit heavier because I stumbled and fell in Ewok poo!

     

     

     Thanks man! Yours is fab looking. I only used a wee bit of black rubber lid trim to take the shine off and give a little grubbiness to the armour. Then I went for a walk through a local woodland for that authentic muddy boot look! Got some strange looks from a few dog walkers! :laugh1:

     

    Current total of ROTJ troopers stands at 2! :jc_doublethumbup:

    Howdy folks. I was just wondering if there's any way to find out exactly how many ROTJ spec TKs are cleared in the Legion?

     

    We all know the ROTJ TK is the best in every way(well,maybe not in the looks department! :laugh1:)  and I'm sure there's a huge chasm between the number of ANH troopers and ROTJ, but would there be more ROTJ than TK Cmdrs? Or Incinerators?

    Balls,..totally forgot about an action pose! Pics were taken in the charaging rooms at an event,totally missed it.

     

    I take it an action pose taken during the troop itself isn't suitable...no worries.Hopefully I'll get a chance to get suited up again at the weekend/early next week.

     

     

    Regarding the bridges-yup they were originally velcro-ed front and back,but it kept failing so I've glued them in front now.

     

    Thanks for the comments guys :)

    Got a bit more done, had a quick try on:

    2013-02-18162156_zpsb80cfe2e.jpg

     

    Still to do:

     

    Shoulder bells padded with foam(for that classic 80's look) and strapped to chest/back connection.

    Thighs strapped and attached to belt

    Leg ammo belt and shoulder bridges curved(bricking this!)

    Knee plate and ammo belt attached to legs.

    Shins trimmed to allow leg movement.

    Main belt attached.

    Fore arms padded out.

    General tidy up of the thigh tops.

    Accurate blaster.

     

     

    Anything leaping out at our resident experts that I should be looking at?

    Thnks guys! :) It's been lying in a box like that since October! I would have preferred the ears to be more flush to the lid and the stickers ended up with a couple bubbles/creases in them, but I guess that adds to the effect.

     

    Thinking of going grubby Endor Rick. I kinda want to differentiate my TK from all our ANH troopers as much as possible. I don't think I'm going to use a holster or attach the thermal det either.

     

    I've also painted my TKboots soles white,so most of the work ahead is making popper tiles,sanding my seams smooth and I still have to trim the rears of my legs and my biceps.

    (which have become a bit of a stumbling block) and sourcing an accurate blaster. I already have a small TK-friendly arsenal- an ANH E-11, an SE-14R and a DLT-19 but I really would like an accurate fugly ROTJ E-11.

     

    Where would you suggest I trim here?

    I know I'm supposd to trim along the lower line,but to me that seems like it won't leave enough of an overlap? Did you have a similar issue on your build Rick?

     

    Also, would it be advisable or not to follow the screenbuilt suits and rivet my belt directly to the Ab plate? WOuld that cause issues in the future?

    Hi folks! I've been trooping for a couple years now as a TIE Pilot and DS Gunner and last year, I decided to join the ranks of the humble TK. Being a fan of the lesser known/done costumes I decided on a ROTJ TK.

     

    I got the kit off of Mark last year-August I think- and got off to a flying start. THis is my first ever proper build(the TIE and Gunner hard parts came pre-assembled) so I was pretty eager to get started, but unfortunately I some how ran out of steam and the semi-finished kit has sat in the box for several months..

     

     

    Until now! Next week has been booked off work so fingers crossed I'll be able to dive back in!

     

    Here are some pics of how far I got:

    Still to finish padding:

    I've retrimmed the butt and glued the edging since taking this pic:

    2011-09-12172312.jpg

     

    I've also trimmed the legs and belt.What's the verdict for a novice builder then?

     

    Thanks in advance for any and all tips you can give me!
