[Legacy Era Joker Squad - Jes Gistang CRL Development]

Oops. Didn't realise it was raised a few posts up. My bad.

Also on the grey TD says that two small strip are needed next to the middle plate. But never shown on any approved pictures or even the picture on the crl.

Is this needed or a bad copy and paste from the other version.

[Western Australian Jes Gistang Legacy Trooper Build]

Okay, I have been naughty and not really kept up to date with taking photos during the build process.

Been following everyone elses step by step and not even doing my own! Urgh.

 

Well. 

I did my first test fitting the other day. 

 

Please note.

• Shoulder straps are not on in photo. I had trouble with the shape of them. We've had to heat them up and reshape so that they sit properly on me. I have a curved back naturally (spine issues) so they didn't sit on the back right. Gluing them on tonight so fingers crossed! Anyone else had this issue? Its fustrating.

• Shoulder bells weren't attached the the biceps at the time, so hence sitting towards chest in photo.

• Belt is not attached, still waiting for that to be finished - aka sand the boxes cause they are so damn annoying.

• Thighs had slid down in image, still need to attach webbing to abdomen to hold them up.

• Terrified to cut into the thighs to add the knees atm! I don't want to get it wrong. Would love more clear images of where to cut and best method to get the knees correct.

 

Starting to paint the helmet tonight, so will make sure that I take photos!

 

DLT-19 is sanded, prepped, just need to wait till a nice day to paint it. (currently raining on and off here) Also have an E-11 for back-up when my arms start breaking under the weight of the DLT.

 

Hoping to have it all complete for my first (unofficial) troop in 3 weeks. Will then fine tune and get it ready to send to be approved.

 

Most excited!

 

Obligatory box and floor photos.

( excuse the dogs and the lady bug, these things apparently happen )

You wont have to stick the whole thing over, literally just the lip of the tube so that its on an angle that the cap will slide over. If that makes sense.

[LiveALegacy's Jes Gistang [KWDesigns] Build thread]

I had some issues with the end caps being the same size as the tube.

We ended up putting the tube on a belt sander and got rid of a bit of the edge, and then heated the ends up in some warm water and they extended over easy and look perfect.

All I would say is order the boots ASAP.

He has so much business! and with the new E7 boots etc. ^.^ 

Mine were shipped to Australia and have been in customs since the start of last month, and then with people saying they have run alot bigger - im worried! Trying to find an alternative this close to getting costume ready for a con is nail biting.

But you have come well prepared and have everything ( as far as I can see ) on the list. 

 

Oh and Kev is so fast at getting the armour out, its amazing. I got mine from the US to Australia and it took 8 days ( from ordering to receiving at my door! )

[Hello from Western Australia!]

Thanks for the warm welcome ^.^

 

A relative-inlaw is also doing the build so its good to have someone else to do it with as well as plenty of local members around to help out.

I think i've almost made my eyes bleed with reading so many forums and information over the last few weeks. =)

Oh well. Its going to be worth it in the end.

[Hello from Western Australia!]

Sorry, the Jes armor from KW Designs. =)

 

Ordering the helmet and other bits and pieces on Monday which are no hurry to arrive since its going to take some time so I get it done correctly.

[Hello from Western Australia!]

Hi all.

Newbie here. >.<

The name is Teaghan and I am from Perth Western Australia.

 

I've been working and almost completed my Mara Jade costume, but though why not go all out and go big!

So, as of yesterday im officially an owner of some of this White Armour everyone loves to wear.

 

Im sure you all will be seeing alot from me in ways of advice over the next few months as I build my Fem Trooper armour through blood sweat, tears and even more tears. I've spent the last few weeks pouring over tutorials, thread and guides to building etc so I /hope/ im ready, if not I better get my act together ASAP!

 

Im thoroughly excited for this adventure, and even more excited for the Fem Trooper armour. I was originally planning to build a Scout, but this then came along into production and it was no questions asked. I had to do it!

 

Looking forward to intigrating into the community and chatting to you all in the future.
