TKmAx Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Well it arrived after what seems like an eternity to a 30 something child . Trooper Master Paul assembled and hand painted the lid, and it is gorgeous I thank him for all his hard work and efforts and for putting up with me waiting lol. So got the Lexans out and bit the bullet and started trimming. It is a beautifull set of armour and a pleasure to work on, I do have sore fingers and a few blisters though as the trimming can be tough, but Oh so rewarding. Anyway I will shut my gob and let you see some piccies: Edited August 23, 2011 by TKmAx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBlackk Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Very nice first kit! Looking forward to watching your progress. Did you get 1.5 or 2mm armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKmAx Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 2mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk0000[501st] Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Looking good! Are you going for centurion status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKmAx Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I havent put much thought into statuses, just getting the kit and putting it together was enough to be going along with atm. I will have to look more into the status stuff later and just concentrate on a good build and UKG clearance for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinSivertsen[501st] Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Looking good! I also got my kit from TM not long ago, and I can only hope to get the helmet as nice. My big worry is getting the ears close to decent, but you dont't have to worry about that Enjoy your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKmAx Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks my friend, the BIGGEST worry I had was the helmet as it is so iconic, that is why I left it to the master to hand paint and assemble, that way I just got this awesome thing straight out of the box. Everytime I look at it I smile, this whole day has meant so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKmAx Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 TKmAx The "status" is just a side effect of a good build Brian, I will do my best to put as much into the build as I can so hopefully it will be good enough for a status or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 the UKG has very high standards for clearance, but I'd take a few moments to look At EIB and Centurion Costume Ref Libraries for the details on split rivets, cod closures, sidegaps, belt details and blaster details. good fun!
