mondas42 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Hi This is my first TK build, but that said I will be cheating a bit as I have bought firebladejedi's old FX armour. Now Mark is 5'11 and so am I and Marks states that he is 15stone as am I so hopefully when I get it it will fit with only a little amount of adjusting. In the meamwhile I have bought a SDS Battle Spec kit which arrived today and this is the result of a few hours work. It still needs a mesh for the mouth and the black lines on the ears putting on but I'm reasonably happy with it:- Quote
Sonnenschein Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) It still needs a mesh for the mouth No, it doesn't. The originals didn't have any mesh and the black lines on the ears putting on but I'm reasonably happy with it:- Mike (TK4510) has decals for it on his site Edited July 25, 2011 by Sonnenschein Quote
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 this is the result of a few hours work. Whoa! Speed demon! Nice work - I see you build skills are as good as your DVD cover art Quote
mondas42 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Posted July 27, 2011 Ok First fitting. Points to do. The belt is too low, I know the hand plates are the wrong kind. I have some latex ones for ANH on order. I'm missing a holster. The suit needs tweaking to me as it's bloody painful to walk in the groin area. I cannot put my head down as it catches on the chest plate so that needs sorting, but what do you all think? Quote
anphrax[TK] Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 I think it looks pretty awesome but you should definitely make it as comfortable as possible for you to wear! Quote
bluehickey Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Why are some of the armor pieces a different color? Quote
mondas42 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Posted July 30, 2011 Not sure, as I said I got the armour from Mark Gage and that's how it came Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Why are some of the armor pieces a different color? was about to ask the same question lol... must be an ab plate from a different maker, maybe made from HIPS instead of ABS? Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 probably the way it was stored? i don't know for sure. maybe it's aging. Mark said that suit is an original FX Quote
mondas42 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Posted July 31, 2011 It looks a lot better in natural light than when using a flash as my wife did for the photo. Quote
