Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Here we go...was gonna wait but what the heck....TK 6107 requesting EIB status.. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Your thermal detonator appears to be incomplete. Also, what color are the lenses in your helmet? Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Posted April 28, 2010 The thermal det does not have the control panel as per the action figure, and the lenses are #5 green welding shield.....I can add the control panel and send pics of it tonight Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 The O2 cylinder needs a control panel. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Posted April 28, 2010 The O2 cylinder needs a control panel. OOPS...will attach the control panel tonight no problem and take a new pic.. QCTrooper.....the armour is AM and the helmet AP Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 OOPS...will attach the control panel tonight no problem and take a new pic.. QCTrooper.....the armour is AM and the helmet AP No worries. Remember that there are two flavors of EIB TKC - one based on the ROTJ armor and one on ANH-Stunt armor. Since you are doing the action figure variation the base is ANH-Stunt, and you should reference that as a starting point for all details unless otherwise over-ridden by the TKC EIB. Quote

I think that with the Control Panel inplace I will have covered everything for the ANH stunt/TKC action figure EIB...unless I need to put the side rivets on?? Quote
Dmian Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 If possible, try to add a reasonable quality action shot for your profile (daylight better than flash). Thanks! Quote

Having the rivets isn't required for EIB, just encouraged. Nice job on the paint, by the way. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Posted April 28, 2010 Control Panel added.... Quote
SuperTrooper Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 We need a shot showing your mic tips. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 The gray on the frown shouldn't come out of the teeth area though - it should be easy enough to scrape away. We used to see this a bit more back in the early days of the program, but to be fair to others who came before we did make them adjust it. Quote

We used to see this a bit more back in the early days of the program, but to be fair to others who came before we did make them adjust it. Paul is correct. You can also use mineral spirits on a Q-tip and rub the access off as well. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Posted April 29, 2010 scraped the frown...mike tips came from Cooter Davis on the main forums Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 I think more grey has to go off the frown for the base ANH stunt requirements. No grey in between the teeth whatsoever is the way to go. You know, each tooth seperately grey and only white in between. Like this: Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Posted April 29, 2010 Cool thanks for the reference pic...will make more adjustments tonight...I appreciate everyones help with this... Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks for taking the feedback positively Quote
Quebectrooper Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 What would our lives be without Paul ! Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 One more thought: maybe you could paint the areas in question white rather than scraping/wiping it away? Since the helmet is already slightly weathered, you'd be able to get a matching look even if the painted white was slightly off. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Posted April 29, 2010 Good point on the repaint…the frowns were done with acrylic craft paint and then clear coated…will see how it turns out tonight…also, there is no pointy not taking suggestions positively…there is a reason that it’s called “Expert” Infantry Badge…. Quote
Wildabeast[TK] Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Posted April 29, 2010 fixed the frown....... Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 Quick work and IMHO it looks great I really dig your weathering and the little details you added to make the paint look like something done in the field, and that has worn naturally. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Agreed, the frown is looking much better. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Now all we need is a good picture for your EIB profile. Quote
