Rich330[TK] Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Bit of painting, bit more assembly, trimmed the ears and am now very happy with those. Just waiting for the grey traps to dry before adding the blacke stripes. Also realised I haven't got any tube stripe templates so I ordered some of those. The helmet will have to be a Mr. No Stripes until they arrive. I think the only thing I have left to do on the armour is paint the ab buttons and attach my holster. Test fitting soon then ....

NastyNoah[TK] Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like the way your chin looks. I have been putting off painting mine, but seeing your has inspired me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Here are a couple of photos in natural light showing the very glossy 1.5mm ABS (current armour build) next to the acrylic capped ABS which TM also supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faie[TK] Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Very nice Rich! Edited April 14, 2012 by Faie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330[TK] Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 The acrylic capped material is obviously the really pure white looking stuff (handguards with stitching) which is a bit shinier. But wahat about that new ABS? The perfect level of gloss and the perfect ivory colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich330[TK] Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Just waiting on my tube stripe templates to be abeo to complete the ANH costume but, with my old 1mm TM helmet (and my old handguards because I was too lazy to sew the new ones ... ) I already have my ESB costume. So, it was out onto the patio to take advanage of the Tenerife sun for a first suit-up. I couldn't be happier. I really love what Paul has done (and keeps doing) with his armour developments and I'm really pround of the work I put into this one myself. I don't think there's even anything I want to tweak. Really happy with this one .... :D Oh, yeah, I know the elastic on the shoulder straps isn't necessarily accurate for ESB. I'll get suitably taped up for any troops as an ESB trooper, I promise!

troopermaster Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Loving the photos Rich I especially like this one. It's just crying out to be photoshopped on the Bespin steps with Lobot Looking forward to seeing more with your new ANH helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold blaster in awkward pointing-out-of-the-chest pose, squeeze the chest plate in and stand to attention ... Remember these with the 1mm suit? Time for a new version ....

Locitus[Admin] Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Only way to tell you apart from the originals are by how crappy their suits were assembled. You look fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkx02 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Great work Rich. probably going to sound stupid but as i have been out the game for a bit is there a website where one can view the LFL archive photo's.I have a set of TM that has sat in the box from last year so really need to get my finger out and build it (the correct way).
