[First TK build!]

so..it has been a while since i have really updated this..

Yes, still working on the TK.. Don't worry, i have been shamed plenty that it is not done yet..

HOWEVER, I am at the painting phase of the helmet and I came to a startling realization... i dont know what colors paint I need..

Is there a list of paint colors that are used somewhere?

AH HA!!! Found this!

At this point I have all the torso pieces trimmed up.. and ready to assemble.

Is there a good tutorial or posting somewhere that shows how to put the bucket together?

[First TK build!]

Great idea!! I will do that.

Also, I noticed some damage on the kidney cover.. Anyone have a suggestion to fix/strengthen?

SO.. it is safe to say.. I suck at updating forum posts.. 

 

But as promised..

 

Appendages are done.  Sniper Plate, Right Thigh and Ammo Box.

Next on my to-do is to trim up the torso pieces and finally get the bucket done.. kinda nervous about that one.

It has been a few weeks and progress is slow going.. But i do have the arm pieces and the thighs done!!

 

After many screw-ups, and a few references back to David's post about making the "goop" i finally feel a bit more comfortable working on the armor.. it's tough to get over that 'There is no screw-ups allowed' mentality. heh.

 

Will post pics of updated armor pieces soon..

Hi Steve, 

Thank you so much this helps immensely!

[First TK build!]

That was actually the first thing I did to differentiate the left and right forearms!!

Maybe I am not as completely lost as I thought..

Quick question... how do I tell which is the left or right bicep pieces?  I noticed one had an indentation on the inner bicep. Is that left?

Thanks!!

From asking around the most common starting point seem to the the arms.  I REALLY want to get the bucket done, but probably should wait on that and get used to trimming first..  From what i hear that is the most complex and mistakes are more visible than anywhere else..

[Hi Everybody!]

Just joined my local garrison! Brand new to trooping, and eager to get started!

I decided it would be best that I introduce myself here as I just received my first MTK kit and will probably be reading through this forum even before I make my first cut.

I just started a build thread (here) to document the journey.  

Well, with that being said...Anyone know the best place to start??

Thanks!! 

... I kinda feel like I am in a bit over my head.  Anyone suggest a good place to start?

Signed up through my local Garrison last week, lucked out and managed to get an MTK set.

It has arrived!!
