Parquette

My apologies, I tried to keep it spoiler free. I haven't seen the first episode either, the above clip and all the footage released was pinpointing to the above TK ensemble.

Fellow brothers of the 501st Legion! The Mandalorian first episode has been dropped today, and in all of the footage, it appears that the Anthology TK's are almost always wearing ANH lids. This is the standard TK in the show, with R1TK's serving more as backround. Therefore, I would like to propose a new CRL specifically for the Mandalorian TK. I understand it's the same as an R1TK, but this is literally the same thing as having an ANH CRL and an ESB CRL. They are such minute differences. But never the less, they are seperate CRL's. So we need to make a new one for this TK. Check out the clip below. (Also note the missing TD's in the shot: That should also be an option, as R1 did this in the Chirrut Imwe scene as well).

Looks like a new trailer dropped today. If you look closely, it looks like they used a handful of Black Series helmets for the piked helmets in the opening shot. Unlike in the R1TK helmets which have the assymetrical eyes (this was confirmed by Glen Dillon on his TWITTER, designer/modeler of the R1TK), the impaled helmets are 100% symmetrical, have the high brows, and the teeth have no mesh. It's also worth mentioning that the Anthology TK's now have ANH helmet's combined with their R1TK suits.

This is in fact false. The shore trooper biceps have been found to contain velcro strips underneath the rear trim, just below the complex elastic string system. There are plenty of closeups of this. Same would most likely go for the stormtroopers, as they have the same undercuts (just different color) and aside from the addition of the thighs, should be no difference.

That is gorgeous!!! Imagine what the rest of the armor will look like :O

Just use a polish sponge to rub it in, then use any towel (I honestly prefer to use an old shirt) to buff it out. Just anything that has a good grip and won't slip on the surface.

Beautiful work! I've found using Automotive Polishing compound works a treat when getting a smooth, reflective finish on spray paint. I actually used it for my R1TK Bucket and it truly makes it look like a production piece. Just make sure to buff it really good. This is the brand I use: Meguiars Polishing Compound. Fun fact: I got this idea from my dad (who by no means is a project guy), having a boatload of car experience. "Why don't you polish it?" "Ah dad, that won't work." "Just let me see." He rubs it super hard, then buffs it. Looks absolutely beautiful, especially after wet sanding any orange peel, just smooths it right out. "See, dad isn't so dumb after all."

My apologies to everyone: I no longer have the pictures of the process. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll be able to have another crack at the BS helmet: but that'll have to wait. Currently at college and poor xD Thanks to everyone for understanding!!!

What will these be prices as?

How much will you be selling your helmets for?

I had these exact same problems with the cracks on my chest/back armor. I ultimately gave up and purchased some Inferno Squad Vac formed armor in white from WTF Factory. Excellent stuff. Fiberglass in the long run is not a fan of flexing. It's ultimately supposed to remain stiff and never budge, but this flexible fiberglass presents many cracking problems, not to mention all the right angles in the sculpt that cause this to happen more.

They're the secondary straps for the thighs. If you look in the CRL thread, there's talk about it

Dew it.

No worries bro! Roughly around May 25th, 2018. TK-33130.

Mine's approved

Thank you so much Eric! Yeah, I wish we could've gotten fireworks, maybe next time And I agree with the jump cuts, they were needed to hide some of the obvious mistakes or misalignment errors we had, especially since we reduced the voices with better acting. I wish we had the money to shell out quality CGI, but until then, some green screen from youtube had to do I get a big kick out of telling people that the lasers were actually photographs of a laser, split up into multiple pieces, and animated through digital stop motion animation to create the look. I am toying with the idea of one day in the future making a larger scale fan film, with a Battle of the Bulge type feel. Our garrison hosted a Rogue One tank for the Joliet Public Library Star Wars Day here in Illinois. We had TK's escorting the tank in the parade. I thought it'd be cool to talk to the owner (from Kansas) and see if he'd be interested in doing a fan film with me in the future. We'll see what happens, I'm going to college in the Fall, so probably not this year

and here is the final film!!! Hope people enjoy it!

According to this pic the holster is very different. However, the same metal ring on the ends and in the middle of the baton are present, which is what makes me think these are possibly the same.

Hot Toys just released these Patrol Trooper pics today. Anyone notice the baton in his hand at the top left? I bet it's the same one.

Haha gotcha! What I meant is are there any confirmed appearences of a Commander in legends wielding or carrying one? Like is there a particular scene in the game they have them?

Is it canon for TK commanders in Legends to have lightsabers?

Little update: We are currently applying Stormtrooper audio to the rough cut, and then it's on to finalizing the fine details in time for the Weekend! We have most of it applied, waiting on one of the voice actors, and some last minute lines from the other main characters, along with backround voices to be sent in. But we are staying on target! Also, the trailer really doesn't show all of it, but this film is very much war themed. This is the dirty battlefront side of the war, specifically from the Stormtrooper's point of view. Think of the movie "Iwo Jima" by Clint Eastwood, where it's from the perspective of the Japanese, showing even the good side of them.

You're correct Eric, they have done amazing work all over Thank you so much for the high compliments! I hope this film meets expectations, got the rough cut of it done today, and now it's on to perfecting and adding
