Congratulations Tom. Welcome to the ranks

Hi Arturo, When I started my journey, I knew that I wanted to do a TK but also was not sure which=h one. For me the decision came down to the ANH version being “my” Tk from childhood primarily. Like Glen said it really comes down to personal preference. Look at the CRLs and get a feel for what each one takes to make and which one makes you most excited as once you put the costume on for the first time and look in the mirror, it will be something you never forget.

My jaw is still hanging down 5 minutes after watching that.

Nice job

Starting to look like a proper TK. Not sure if it is on your to do list, but that sharp point at the top of your left thigh likely should be trimmed or it will be digging into you when you walk.

I got my first crack after 33 troops, not a bad run. I decided to try something different, having had to work with fibreglass building my death trooper costume, I picked up some new techniques. Here is the crack in the chest piece at the neck line. Materials used: UV resin paint brush tape UV light scissors Bondo fibreglass cloth sandpaper First, I taped the outside side of the crack to align it and hold everything in place. Next I brushed on a thin layer of UV resin and cured it. Took about 10 seconds Next, I cut a piece of the fibreglass cloth to cover the area . Then I painted on.another thin coat of resin, applied the cloth onto the wet resin and then dabbed another layer of resin onto the cloth to soak it in. Once this was done, I cured it again I then added a few more layers of resin curing them as I went. Finally, I sanded the repair smooth with 11pm grit sandpaper There was a slight edge to the repair, so I sanded it with 220 grit sand paper, then buffed with 1000 the 2000 grit sand paper and finished with Novus polish All repaired in less than 5 minutes
