Fem Kat Rebel TK

Thank you

Started trimming the breast plate, ab plate and bottom half. i find the hips material much more easier than the abs, especially for sanding to a nice smooth rounded finish. Also I trimmed the back plates as well.

Thank you Eric

Well I hope my build helps you. I plan to do this to the best I can ☺

The joint would need sanding down as smooth as possible to get a nice smooth finish when filled on the outside. .it wouldn't be as noticeable from the inside. This is very much like a half tk half clone type of build.

Yes I will be sealing the armour from inside the casts of the cslves/shins. The outside will be fully enclosed on the inside will have an attached strip inside that will have velcro on sealing it to make a flush joint

After studying more HQ photos it appears that there isn't a grey wash on the armour it is in fact the shadowing from the environment. .so I will be keeping the armour white ☺

Sizing up the thighs and calves/shins. Both are seamless, I am looking at putting a strip of white plastic inside the side joins after trimming to size. The calf will require being able to open on the inside and a strip placed with Velcro attached so can be removed easily. I plan to fill the cracks with filler to make smooth joints. the thighs will probably need 1-2 inches off each side as quite large for my frame, and will need shortening around 1 - 1 1/2 inch to fit

yes absolutely! I think the younger generation of today's SW will associate more with these than the classic tk

Looking at the TK references ive noticed a grey wash over their armor. Im still thinking about doing this when the armor is complete. Would anyone have any opinions or suggestions on this ?

thank you...I'm going to do my best with this ☺

This is just an example of the armour put together. I shall be following the normal TK build process for this but will have to do seemless on the calves and shins. Theres a lot of trimming to do but will use my Shadow trooper as a template for sizing. This armour is thicker than the standard tk, made of resin with a satin finish.

Just awaiting drop boxes, lower front fore arms, thermal det and lid decals

Eyes and teeth dremelled out, and the underside all trimmed and smoothed out.
