Hey there!

 

Is this gap approvable? Of course for the official Fotos everything will be properly alignt.   

 

 

Also I fitted the sniper plate.

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hi there! 

 

I´m sorry for the lack of communication. I didn´t found the time to build or do anything other than working really.

Anyway here is the current state of my Build. The Biceps and Forearms are attached. Now the lower legs need some work.

 

 

 

 

Would the thighs need to sit higher? Does moving the belt up would be sufficient? 

 

As always thank you very much for any feedback!

I believe this are the photos you are looking for:

Looks spot-on, Nick.. nice job!  Can I ask a favor?  This may seem strange, but can you post up a pic of the bottom?

It will be done my lord!

 

I'm currently not home due to work. I will post them friday.  

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

So the sniper plate is finished.

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

And here is the sniper plate.

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Here are my coverstrips:

Hi everyone!

 

Sadly I wasn´t really communicative the last few weeks.

As I said I was on Holiday for two weeks, after that I got sick again and didn´t felt like building. 

 

I´m going to cut the coverstrips to there appropriate length today and post pictures about the sniper plate (hopefully I´m not going to forget it again :P)

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hello there!

 

Quick update, I will be on Holiday the next two weeks after graduating Saturday. 

 

Concerning my build, the shins are nearly finished. Just the sniper plate needs to be fitted (pictures will be given tomorrow probably). 

 

Have a nice weekend everyone!

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

So as I mentioned yesterday here are the right forearm and biceps. Furthermore I started trimming the shins, as far as I know the bottom needs to be cut of cleanly like the forearms and the upper return edge can be cut to my liking right? The references show some form of return edge on some armour pieces. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hello everyone!

 

I glued together the left forearm and Biceps as you can see. Although there are not finished yet because I need to trim the top of the cover strips into shape. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The right forearm and biceps will be finished probably tomorrow.

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Yes the top cover strip will be trimmed down more, but I wanted to do like a clean up after the shins are completed as well. So probably in about two weeks.

Nice work. Very neat. :-)

With the top of the coverstrip, personally, I’d always recommend that a coverstrip never exceeds the length of the armour piece that you’re attaching it to. This is based on screen used suits. (More about that here:

)

Also, unless you are preferring the rounded coverstrip ends, the originals were cut at approximately 45° angles. If you are aiming for screen accurate (rather than idealised), that’s another option you could take.




Coverstrip ends - examples:


As always, these are just suggestions.

 

I personally prefer the rounded cover strips but I´m still debating on going with a more screen accurate look to keep it uniform. 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

So the ammo belt is put on they just need to be painted.

 

 

 

And here is the left thigh complete but they don´t fit perfectly on the bottom and I can´t get them to stick together even with glue and a extra piece of ABS.

 

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hey there!

 

Mr CableGuy asked for pictures from a few feet away so I hope this will help. Note the left one is currently drying so tomorrow there will be more. 

 

 

 

Also there is the ammo belt which I believe is ready to strapped on. 

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

So here we go again.

The first part is glued together:

 

I´m just a bit confused on how to cut the the extra material on the back.

 

I just want to say that I´m currently really busy so there will not be regular updates but I will still try do make progress.  

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hello there! 

 

I spent a bit of time making sure the thighs are correct. But before I started gluing and do final fitting here is the current state :

 

Remember that the outer parts are not cut to size yet, at least not completely. 

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Thankfully I didn´t glue them together yet. So no problem yet.

Hey there!

Hi Nick, the position looks ok, and typically , front cover strips go 20 mm front and 25 back.  Before gluing the cover strips could you please post a photo as bellow?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the pictures you requested TKSpartan (at least I hope so :P) .

Little note on the side, I only did the right thigh up to this point.

 

 

 

The back side isn´t quite ready yet because I would like the front to be finished first.

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Hello everyone! 

 

Finally I´m able to build again. Mr. Cornelius Virus thankfully didn´t bother me for long. Anyway here is what I´m working on today:

 

 

What do you think about the placement of the cover strip? I wanted to do 24mm base and up a 20mm strip on it.

 

Thank you all for the kind words!

Little update: 

 

Hello everyone! It´s been a while since my last update.

Currently I´m unable to build a whole lot because I got Covid and feel pretty sick. On top of that in 3 weeks I need to write my final exams so studying is key right now. Currently I´m not sure when I will be posting new updates. 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Day 13:

 

The return edges on the forearms and shoulders are almost done. Hopefully it looks as good on the pictures as it does in reality. There is only on part on which I´m not sure about: the upper part of the inside of the forearms. The shall be completely removed I believe.

 

 

Regarding the torso, I´m planning on finishing it tomorrow.

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Little update:

 

Well I made a mistake. I don´t know how it happend but after putting in the holes and the rivets I saw that one of the rivets is damaged. On top of that the rivets don´t sit flush because it´s on a curve. Again I don´t know why I didn´t realized it. 

 

 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

Day 12:

 

So today I added together the torso. 

 

 

 

What I´m not sure about are these tow areas: 

 

1. I probably need to paint these screws again:

 

 

2. What do you guys think of these placements for the connections between Ab plate and kidney plate? 

[Nick´s ANH Stunt TK | Centurion Build WIP]

So the hardware is installed. Now it´s time to trimm the parts I left over. Before I forget the part Chemi mentioned is sanded down accordingly. 

 

 

 

 

 

There is one part that troubles me:

 

I don´t know how to deal with it effectively.
