Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 While I wait for the supplies I need to take in the arms and legs on my TK (I was too generous with extra room, as my GML pointed out) Ive started on my next project, but now with a little bit of experience under my belt.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Love it! I can't wait for the day when SpecOps has enough non-TK based costumes that FISD can start having blackhole troopers associate and be covered by FISD directly. Cheers Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks to your post title I have got ACDC going round my head! Quote
bluehickey Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Black plastic never looked so good! Quote
vicsouders Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 That's some shiny looking stuff! Have fun with the build, I'll get some popcorn. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Man, I am soooooo tempted to pick up one of the black AM kits for myself. What bucket will you be using with this beauty? Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Posted November 10, 2010 Man, I am soooooo tempted to pick up one of the black AM kits for myself. What bucket will you be using with this beauty? I scored myself one of the limited editions efx Shadow trooper helmets that they released back over the summer. I plan on making some more minor mods to the inside of the lid including replacing the lenses. Ive already added some of TK-4510's decals to the traps on the outside and replacement mesh screen. After following the topic on the Spec Ops Detachment boards tracking the release of the lid. Its been my understanding that the efx Shadow lid is 501st wearable out of the box, as other 501st member's have already used it to apply as well. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 How does the plastic match? I was thinking ATA for doing one myself but AM is attractive for the legs for a guy my height. Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Posted November 10, 2010 How does the plastic match? I was thinking ATA for doing one myself but AM is attractive for the legs for a guy my height. I will snap a few extra shots of the efx lid next to some pieces of the armor tonight when I update my build log. But I will say looking at both helmet and plates side by side in person and under different light sources, that they are a pretty close match. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Ah yes, good choice. "ELP" has an efx helmet & AM armor - it looks like a pretty close match from what I can tell. Quote
vicsouders Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 How does the plastic match? I was thinking ATA for doing one myself but AM is attractive for the legs for a guy my height. Paul, that just sounds soooo wrong. But, who are we to judge? Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Posted November 11, 2010 Here's what I got done last night. And for Daetrin, A shot of the forearm, next to my efx and my sexy E-11 made by Vern Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 13, 2010 Author Report Posted November 13, 2010 Got some more done, getting ready to start the thighs. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 13, 2010 Report Posted November 13, 2010 this armor looks great. thanks for the positive thoughts there on that blaster. you're lucky to have the proper eagle logo on that thing too! hard to find! we'll be spec ops brothers pretty soon. my black kit is completed, just need to paint up the parts. really tough to think about painting it, I like it when it's flat black!

Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I have just enough parts finished that I should be able to do a proper test fitting soon enough. Till then here are some teasers. After looking at my picture, I see my mistake with the ammo pack. Now working on fixing the problem. Man that must have been a late night when I did that one.... Ok all better, like ive said before, mistakes will happen... Edited November 27, 2010 by Defiance7x13 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Wow, you are making the Blackhole trooper look gooooood Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Posted November 28, 2010 Thank you Sir Just waiting on getting my boots back (I paid to find out if TK boots can be remade into TX boots) and my holster to arrive and this Bad boy will be ready to hit the ground running. Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Nice work Carlos, keep the pix coming.... Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Posted November 29, 2010 This should be the last update before its complete. Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Posted December 1, 2010 What was once white, is now black.... I got my second pair of TK boots back to from the shoe cobbler. Check it out... They turned out perfect, and all for less than $50 Quote
izzi[501st] Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 I really like how those boots turned out. I may need a pair! -iz Quote
Nico Fett Posted December 5, 2010 Report Posted December 5, 2010 Very nice! You did great work on it. Thats awesome the way the TK boots turned put as well, overall great job Quote
Defiance7x13[TK] Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Posted December 6, 2010 Let the final tweaking begin before apply for 501st approval. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 one of my brothers in black! nice job! you're ahead of me by boots and a belt! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 Holy crap - that looks great! Quote
