    Managed to link up with Jeff today and get some work done on my TK!

    We trimmed armor and had to resize the breastplate as it seemed too large

    After the breast plate was cut. Moved on to bondo and sand the seams on the helmet.

    Made some progress today but I had to leave as the military was (Literally) calling

    Jeff may or may not add his own two cents. Anyway, I hope to get more accomplished soon. Still waiting on my undershirt and gaskets from darkside closet.

    Thanks for your interest!

    So after putting filler primer on the helmet pieces and sanding with 220 grit, it was time to begin assembling the bucket.

    Jeff cut small tabs of sintra and used them to help reinforce the inside seams

    Still have some of the face greeblies to smooth out before they can be attached.

    Hopefully I can take another weekend and we can knock more of this out.

    That's it for now folks!

    So Jeff invested in an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro resin printer. Printed a coulpe of the Helmet greeblies and I gotta say, the came out amazing!

    After seeing how great these came out, I'm going to have to save up my money from my paper route and get one. I'm completely sold on these

    The saga continues.  This is 2 days worth of work in the following photos. I've sanded the major parts of the bucket and put filler on them.

    One part I found slightly aggravating was the vents

    I then began sanding the smaller parts.

    Jeff worked on the belt and then the lenses.

    Jeff also trimmed the breastplate and back plate

    Well after a series of unfortunate events (No reference to the book), I managed to get over to 11b30b4's workshop and resume my Rogue One TK build.

     

    Sanding, sanding and more sanding as usual

    Got a general idea of the placement of the torso and Jeff worked on the belt

    That's it for now. Just wanted to post a quick update. Was down and out with COVID 19 and my truck completely died on me but back at 100% now. Hoping to get back at it full bore. Thanks for the interest folks!

    Wasn't there some work done on this kit last night? I want to know more......

    Why yes Jeff, There was. Allow me to expound on that.

     

    My Rogue One TK gloves arrived from Endor Finders

    You all will be pleased to know that my hands are still the same size they were when I ordered the gloves

     

    After helping Jeff send one of his helmets, I started sanding the pieces of my TK helmet. PETG is pretty tough

    Also managed to get my measurements for my undersuit top that I ordered from Darkside Closet

     

    We've kicked it back in gear. Unfortunately, I will probably be away on military duty till the end of August.

    Looking forward to seeing this together.

    Was going to look at doing the helmet myself but Nicos files have gone up to $70 US (with shield) ::icon_eek:

    Thanks! On a side note, should this WIP be moved to the other Rogue One build forum? I think I mistakenly posted here.

    Added better images of armor

    Well I'm beginning the third part of my life as a Rogue One TK. The first being a Mandalorian Merc and second being a Biker Scout. Things have been on hold due to COVID 19 but we're starting back up slowly

     

    For the armor, I'm using 850 Armor Works R1TK kit

    For the helmet we used Nicos R1 3D File and it's currently printing

    We got the hovi mics and put those together

    The helmet is PETG as well as Jeff's Armor he's working on (11b30b4)

    That's all for now. More to come
