    I may be missing something as the CRL  (https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt) as far as I can see only talks about having no seam on the front of the boot for level 2 certification.  Can you point me to the appropriate link as I'm clearly not seeing that?  Thanks

    Hello from the UK

    Hey there folks,

    just introducing myself - I'm Simon, but you can call me Simes.  I make videogames in real life and am an artist, maker and serial collector of skills.

    I got into costuming for Celebration Europe as a Mando Merc with my scratchbuilt costume, and I troop with a few groups here in the UK. 

    I'm not one for the cons, but trooping for charity - I'll be there!

     

    I really enjoy building, taught myself how to mould and cast and I now make Mandalorian Helmets for sale.

     

    But I've really always wanted a TK!

     

    So my Big Brown Box from RWA is on its way and I'm about to embark on this journey, my intention, to build ANH stunt build with that little bit of screen-used flavour that you see in the opening scenes of the movie.

     

    Thanks, in advance, for all your help!

     

     

  6. Simes' ANH TK Build

    Hi there,

     

    I've been a Mando Merc since Celebration Europe and I'm delighted to say I'm starting my ANH TK build at last.

     

    My dream is to build a kit that has that screen-used look that you see in the opening of ANH.

     

    I'm awaiting a big brown box from RWA, with a kit in 2mm ABS and currently researching soft parts.

     

    I figured I'd start from the ground up, so I'm looking at boots, and, because of my desire to get an ANH look, would like to start with black boots and paint them up.

     

    Looking at this sceen-used prop ref:

    I'm thinking maybe these will work?

     

    They seem to have the same structure, no seam down the front, vertical seam in the middle of the elastic, high at front and back, only difference is a synthetic sole that I sits slightly proud at the back of the boot (although the ones available at TKBOOTS seem to have a sole in this style too)

    If anyone has any better matching UK links, that'd be appreciated.  Thanks!
