FUZZMA

For the belt i should still have a bunch of ribbed material I can cut some out and send to you. get this foam for the middle layer. We use it in Mountain Garrison for all our FO builds. It’s not heavy, soft but thick to give it the right depth. - https://a.co/d/01hKdfWR the inner layer is just 2in nylon with 2in buckles. You Chicago screw one side and the other I size and stitch or glue together for final assembly.

It’s definitely a Disney one and not a kit. The ones made by Disney are inaccurate in two areas. The groove that goes around the aerator is wrong. It goes straight into the aerator slot and continues on the next side. Also the teeth are usually way thicker than necessary. But I think they’ve changed that to be more accurate as of late with the newer ones. But as stated above Cardinal is TFA so need the TFA helmet, cod, TD markings and if you’re really picky the forearm tops are different and the attachment method for all the parts are butt joints rather than overlapping as in TLJ also love to see more of the armor in better pics. It honestly kinda looks more like an 850 kit than KB. But idk need to see more to really know

Woah why is the paint scheme so different than the one used in the visual dictionary lol.

Yes it’s the mag light 2d. I have one made and painted. Looks super nice with the kit!

That’s fair lol. The chest and back would be what I’m most interested in if so. So notorious for cracking its annoying.

Holy crap this is amazing!!! Are you going to offer or do a run of these urethane pieces?

So I chromed mine myself with Angel Gilding. It’s basically spectra chrome just a do it at your home version. Super hard to get right and finicky and expensive. Spectra chrome is a great option if it’s near you! I wouldn’t bring it all the way out here for that. Cause who knows how long it’ll take for them to chrome it.

Right!!! This costume and the FO Raider/Seeker would be a pretty awesome kit

I know this is an old thread but one of my garrison mates was thinking of doing this kit lol. Probably spec ops if I had to guess.

Awesome!! Can’t wait to see another Captain in our ranks. So for the wrap idea. I talked to a lot of wrap companies when I was building mine in 2017 and they all said the same thing. It would work, but there would be seems in the wrap and also in the areas with a lot of indents and details it could very easily not work or mute the details a lot. The best ways to chrome are metallization, have a shop do a spray chrome or some method like that, or do it yourself with alclad with an airbrush. Not entirely sure if alclad is ok with TLJ tho due to it not being that perfect chrome but I’m sure for Lvl1 it would be acceptable. A GML can chime in on my comment for clarification

Facebook is the best way from how I contacted him in 2017. I believe he has a RPF username as well. Jimmiroquia i think is the username. But FB was easiest

Hey checking in hoping to see that you haven’t given up on the build. Any questions or issues feel free to PM me. Always glad to help troopers in need[emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

is it the actual spat you are missing or one of the boot pieces? Just wanting to make sure I've read correctly lol. Honestly if it didn't come with the kit I would message Jim about it and I am more than positive he'd be willing to help ya out.

Can't wait to have another Phasma in the ranks!! Regarding your question on chroming and how durable all the methods are. Unfortunately there are pieces that will have to be redone at some point just because of wear and tear. Main areas that have been affected for my personally are the tops of the thighs, inside of the biceps, toe pieces, and the ab piece where the back and chest rub from when walking and all that. I have been trooping in my kit for 2 and a half years now and have around 90 troops without rechroming. And ya at this point its nearing trash compactor Phasma lol. I chromed mine with the Angel Gilding spray on chrome which is a decent method. Really reflective if done right but the tinting is the hard part. I'm going to be rechroming using the vac-metalizing method from a company like Mueller Corp or maybe someone local depending on prices. Aclad chrome is great because its easy for you to touch up pieces while they wear and cheaper. Downside is that its not that chrome look you really want to go for, especially for TLJ Phasma. If you have any questions at all feel free to ask!! There's a bunch of here with knowledge willing to help out in any way that we can! Can't wait to see your journey to becoming one of us!!

It looks like theres tabs on the front of the ab to glue to the back parts of the ab. I would glue the back to those 2 tabs to that. Might take away the seem to almost nothing. Can you slide on the ab either over the head or like pants? If you can then I wouldn't worry about having the line cut in the back to put on. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
