  2. Commander Pyre Build

    in Commander Pyre Build Threads

    Posted

    Howdy fellow troopers! Been on hiatus for a while! I was super excited when I saw the Black Series Pyre. I really want to repaint my FOTK to be Commander Pyre. Aside from repainting my armor gold and matte black, I would just need black gloves and have to paint my boots. I recognize that unless Pyre shows up in IX, my variant wouldn’t be officially approvable since it isn’t the cartoon version. But, I really am digging this variant.

    Any advice on specific paint colors or advice on painting my boots?

    So I have to say that despite my 7 months of aggravation, waiting for my baton to arrive, I am ecstatic now that it has arrived! Quality is remarkable and I can't wait to start assembling this! FYI, here's a link to Peter's assembly video. Seems pretty straight forward. I do intent to incorporate electronics and I really want to actuate it!

    This past weekend members of the Florida Garrison supported the Fan Fest Orlando Charity event by putting together a mini helmet project. I was asked my Garrison leadership to provide several of my FOTK buckets to several members to paint. Each of the helmets was auctioned off for charity. In total, the three buckets brought in $1540 for the One Orlando Fund, with proceeds going to victims of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy.

    Special thanks to Woodchuck, Gary Collins, Brandon Selph and Randy Herman as well for this event. It was a fun project to be involved with.

    I am desperate for help. I've been struggling late with dying my PETG visors using idye poly. I end up with a gritty appearance and large black smudged areas. I've used this process before with mixed results and can't figure out how to resolve this problem!!! HELP!!!

    I use a large stainless steel pot to boil my water and mix my dye. I then put that into a plastic container and wait for it to cool down to ~145F. Then I dip my visor and let it sit for 8 min the. Into cold water, rinse and repeat! I am desperate for help!!!
