  1. Hey everyone,

    This build thread is a long time coming.

    I have a KB Props FOTK (TLJ) kit and am building as an Executioner.

     

    Armor/Helmet - KB Props

    Gaskets/Harness/Shorts - Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets (My amazing garrison-mate Teresa)

    Boots - Imperial Boots

    Laser Ax - 3D printed parts courtesy of the Edmonton Public Library (EPL)

    SE-44C - TBD (likely 3D printed by another member of the Badlands Garrison)

     

    This is my first full foray into building a costume. My ANH TK was a commission that I did a little work on the achieve EIB.

    Pictures of build progress too follow...

  3. Hi everyone. I am in the process of working on my KB helmet, cleaning out some of the debris from the cast in the tube stripe slots, and I am wondering what the rule is on actually cutting out the slots straight through. The wording on the CRL is 'cut out', but I am not sure if it's cut out completely or just recessed. I have seen at least one build thread on here that looks to have been cut out completely, but most of the references images seem to look like it isn't cut all the way through or it's inconclusive. 

  4. Hi everyone,

    I am pretty sure that the first build I am going to attempt myself is going to be TLJ Executioner. I have priced both the KB and Jimmiroquai kits but I have not yet decided which one to go with. I really like the look and detail of Jim's flexible fiberglass kit that I have seen in the various build threads here, but I don't really have any practical reason to prefer it over the ABS kit that KB offers. I recall seeing somewhere that the flexible fiberglass kit allows for the single piece chest/yoke which is more screen accurate versus the ABS kit which requires them to be separate. Given that this will be my first attempt at putting something like this together I would gladly accept take any advice on which material might be more suited a first timer. I am not afraid of a little effort though, and if one is markedly better than the other I am not unwilling to invest the effort. Thanks!

  5. Hi everyone,

    I received my commission and RS no longer straps the shoulder bells to the bicep armor. In my first attempt at suiting up I found it somewhat awkward given that the bicep armor doesn't stay in place securely. For the most part the entire suit fits looser on my frame than I would have expected. Is this how the armor fits? I expect I will need to do some adjustment to the strapping for the thigh armor as it might be hanging a few centimeters too low. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to 'upgrade' the fit? Perhaps some foam on the inside of individual pieces to make them fit a little more tightly?

  6. Hi Everyone,

    I would like to introduce myself. My name is Robyn and I am an aspiring member of the 501st from Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. My RS Stunt TK is en route, and I hope to have it within the next week to 10 days. Once I have it in my possession I am planning to take the necessary steps for membership. I look forward to trooping with you soon.

  7. Hi Everyone,

    I have ordered a full commission TK from RS Prop Masters and I am a bit nervous about the measurements given that I am in Canada and they are in the UK. I have asked them for a bit of clarification as to whether or not a discrepancy of 1/8-1/4 inches is a big deal, but the response I received was that they needed my 'exact' measurements. Does anyone have any experience with this process? I would like some assurance that a small change in body positioning isn't going to render the armor unwearable.
