TK-42779[501st] Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I felt that In should share my excitement. Lol I am doing my first TK build and have ordered almost everything I need. I went with a Hyperfirm blaster as my first blaster (I will test my lack of crafting skills on a Doopy later. Lol) and it will arrive today marking this as officially the first day of this project taking off I suppose!! (My Eastbay body suit pieces arrive tomorrow but those aren't quite as exciting. Haha) *sigh* :ph34r: Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperJay Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Good luck Tony! My first armor kit arrived days ago, prepare for: anxiousness, excitement, and all other numerous unavoidable emotions. It's definitely a blast though! I wouldn't doubt yourself waking up to the Imperial Death March song playing in your head for the next week! Wishing the best, Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nothing like the excitement of starting a first build! Enjoy, and savour the wonder. The journey is an amazing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Looking good, you could do a few mods to it if you wanted, just the fine details, it is pretty weathered too so an option of a new coat of paint is there too then a little less weathering.

TK-42779[501st] Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I like the weathering! Lol Never having any experience with anything like this before I was expecting certain details to be different for the price tag l was expecting things like the scope and barrel to be cleaner and more prepped (No offence Lewis! I love the blaster!! Lol) but after further research I came to the conclusion that having it cast off the original model and the fact that it is built to take some trooping I made a good purchase. I am reading threads about customization on the Hyperfirm but I really don't think I am going to mess with it much.

jkno Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 This looks really cool! I like the details which were still visible on rubber. The weathering is very nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RampantLion[TK] Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yay! Mine is scheduled to arrive today. I plan on adding a D ring to mine and making any other light mods to get it up to standard for centurion. It gives me something to do while I wait on the ATA wait list for armor. Good luck!

RampantLion[TK] Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 18 weeks is a long long time when you are new and anxious. The plus side is it forces me to do my homework on how to build and what mistakes I can avoid. There is a wealth of knowledge from those that built before.

RampantLion[TK] Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm planning on adding a D ring, mod the scope sight with some clear plastic and cross hairs, and possibly mod the barrel with a plastic tip. I have to do some more looking into what else I can do to polish the look. There are some good threads around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RampantLion[TK] Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I made a few mods so far. I used a picture I found online of an odometer for the counter and I used a picture of the sights from the forum to create a 4x6 photo. I had the photo developed and I cut the "decals" out and used some white glue on the "odometer" (as it may need replacing in the future) and used a magnifying loop from a Clip-On 7/8" Double 5X 5X Loupe Set from Amazon for the back glass (super glued). For the front sight I used a googly eye that I painted the inter barrel ---------- I still need to order a D ring and am debating about carving out the front sight posts...

skyone Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) good replica; just a note: it looks like the bayonet lock is not in the right way. --------- Edited September 29, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
