Now that my Darth Nihilus has been approved, SL 13770, I will be pushing forward with my TKC build. Here are pics of my bucket with weathering. [/img] This will be my WIP thread for my journey to being TK 13770.

Again having issues with Tapatalk after the upgrade. Unable to login.

Is anyone else having issues getting on here using Tapatalk?<br> It tells me that there are issues with the server and to try again later.

I was wondering why would the CRL get written with the butt and kidney plates being one piece due to the video game model and not take in consideration the real world aspects of the armor? I have read that someone has gotten approved with those being two pieces, is there anyway the CRL can get modified so that the kidney and butt plate can be two pieces?

While in the midst of customer orders I was able to lay down the paint on my bucket. 3 layers with different shades of blue. Used liquid latex to mask off areas to give it the worn away look. Next is to black wash it and dry brush some highlights. I really hope my Darth Nihilus get approved before I'm finished with this build. I am so tired of of waiting.

Thank you very much. I was painstakingly going over the pinned hi-res image post to get the masking correct. I might send those images with my app when I am ready to submit, so they don't ding me because it doesn't look like the CRL image. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have started the masking process of my helmet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have him wearing the leather slip-on Vans. The leather has that nice shine and I colored the sole rim black with plastic-dip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have a picture of your solution in action? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a good one I found about building a vacuuforming machine. http://www.tk560.com/vactable4.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did the same thing for my son two years ago. This is him the last time he wore it just two months ago. It's going to go through one more upgrade in hopes he can wear it for The Last Jedi showings and Troops.

What is "return edges"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was wondering if anyone has used this for their kit? https://www.amazon.com/Tomlov-Wireless-Microphone-Headset-Receiver/dp/B01DNJKUI6 It has high star rating but that's not always from the clubs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The one from Anovos is a pleather type material and is lined for comfort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where can I get the material for the TKC belt? The best I can find is 2", but I will need 2 1/4" or 2 1/2". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Link i the main body fixed

I'm just taking in consideration what is known at this point from what Fenn Rau has said in the trailer, " their Mandalorian's who serve the empire." I'm speculating that these are the Night Owls and members of the Death Watch who survived the Seige of Mandalore, as described by Dave Filoni. Since Mandalorian's are trained warriors and that originally what we know as Boba Fett was a Stormtrooper Super Commando in Ralph McQurray concept art, would be an elite group unlike Krennic's Death Troopers in Rogue One. Spec ops is shirt for Special Opperation and those would be anyone who is a member of the empire with a specific set of skill that goes beyond your standard trooper. I surmise that after the Seige of Mandalore the surviving members of the Death Watch were given a choice of joining the Empire or being set to death. In the old EU it was said that the Cuy'val Dar, a group of Mandalorian's were the ones who trained the clones and as stated by Captain Rex in Rebels Fenn Rao trained the Clone pilots and led a squad during the Clone War. So as for working for the highest bidder, that's not always the case. In the case if the Protectors of Concord Dawn, they were loyal to the Empire so that the Empire wouldn't interfere with their territory. Think of it like North Korea and China. North Korea aligned them selves with China so that they wouldn't be invaded and so that they could utilized China's resources. Now we really won't find out what has happened till the episode airs and the whole story is given. Then it's up to the 501st council to set where they go and what designation they are given. I personally would like if they would not go with what's easy and give them the BH designation. That seems to be profiling and in certain circumstances classist.

Spec ops would be a good place to put them with maybe a "TM" ID code

It's not really an insult as per it offends me, it more on the lines of doing it out of convience.

Since we will be seeing Mandalorian's who are members of the Imperial armed forces in Star Wars Rebels, I would hope that they don't get a "BH" TKID tag. These guys are not bounty hunters they are more of a spec ops group. Like the inquisitors being a part of Flagship Eclipse, when they should also be members of Spec Ops with the DS tag. <br> As a member of the Mercs, I kind of find it an insult that all on screen Mando's are BH. The only Mando BH's should be Boba and Jango. The Death Watch should be at least a DZ tag<br><br> Any thought on the matter?

Where did you get the "U" shaped trim and what material is it?

I am planning on building my Anovos kit to be a TKC. Besides the rubber gaskets, what do I need to do? Is the Anovos kit an overlap or butt joint? <br> Is the belt a 2" braided white nylon?

I am posting from my phone. I will edit it later when I get to a computer.

Where did you get the firehose?Do you have a before and after of you belt? I am planning on an Anovos conversion to a TKC.

Is the Jedi-robe on esty the same as the one from stromtroopershop.com? I was looking at getting a TI flight suit from them.
