  1. I used the Tamiya Micah Blue and it was bit bright so I often tone down it with a dark wash while doing the weather together.
  2. I guess I forgot a post ytd... Before and Now Comparison Just a note, all the blue paint dimensions I took reference from the pinned post. They may be a little different but I trying my best to be accurate!
  3. These are extra white flexible rubber U trims I bought from local stores. These trims are commonly used in ROTJ TKs At first I thought its impossible to get unless buying a new kit but now I have it !! I think u can easily find some information about where to get em by searching key words "ROTJ rubber trims" When putting on the rubber trims most of the return edges of the armor have to go and many edges need to be rounded off in order to successfully trim!
  4. In a fast run, I painted the shins and thigh as well ( Only the right tho ) So I guess this is it for today!! Comments are always welcomed!
  5. Thanks man Ill try to tone down the weathering once everything is set! And yes, Ive added the ear decal moments ago cuz I almost forgot lol!
  6. So far we have... Im not sure the weathering is OK all I quite overdone it... But I think I need a rest now lol
  7. And what we have now is ... 從我的iPhone使用Tapatalk 發送

  9. I After the rubber trims, I wasted no time on spraying the blue strips and begin some weathering as trial. I think they looked pretty well so far. For the weathering scratches on the blues I used some sandpaper and Xacto knife to so the job, As for the weathering I mostly used these two Here is a brief video showing how I did it if u guys out there wanna know how https://vimeo.com/170777852 It was kinda difficult to hold the camera while holding the pen lol... Basically what i did is I mixed the thinner and he black enamel paint down to a semi-transparent state, then apply anywhere u want. U can use a tissue to swipe off the excess and make some irregular patterns (fingers work as well) and U can also use sandpaper to further enhance it. Let me know what u guys think!
  10. Trimming in progress... All return edges have to be removed And as you see, the abs button plate is successfully inverted and for the extra fifth buttom, I extended the rectangle piece using this putty and cut off an extra white abs
  11. And...here we are!!!! As you may know, it is a SDS Kit and it is time to upgrade it to something pretty... First of all Im removing the Button Plate with an Xacto... Its easier than I think !!!
  12. Thank you!! I will begin my conversion momentarily!! EIB is my shortest goal I should say, becuz removing the cover strips on my thighs and shins may take some extra time but I will make it sooner or later! 從我的iPhone使用Tapatalk 發送
  13. Just a dumb question tho, is there any way to cover up the seams with extra putty or some sort? 從我的iPhone使用Tapatalk 發送
  14. Cuz according to the CRL the button plate should be inverted for accuracy. I saw many ppl did it before just not so confident about it...
  15. First question for the day!! Which has been gnawing me for too long... How do you guys manage to cut out the abs button plate safely and glue back? It was a bit risky in my sense...
  16. Hello out there!!! Actually I have been LONGING for TKC but was too hesitated to begin becuz the rubber trim is hard to acquire until recently I got my hands on the perfect white rubber trim And now seems the plan can be set in motion! Today I make a quick rough comparison of my Original TK to a to-be-completed TKC I pretty much got the picture on what to be modded... Blue painting and weathering is not a big prob... Rubber trims on their way...Re-rivet the abs,back and belt... And the biggest concern ..inverting the abs button plate. I will post my progress here once I start the conversion!
  17. Greetings all!! Joined FISD quite a few months ago and started my path to 501st. Mods after mods I finally got in my local garrison in HK!
