DarthChandler Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) So I have had my kit for a month or so but due to moving around am only just now really starting on it. I have the bucket trimmed out (except the ears) and am getting ready to more completely assemble it. The rest of the kit is in storage as we are in transit for the next few weeks and this is what I could bring with me to work on I wish I had been able to post pictures prior and ask for help, it probably would have been quicker than the muddling around I did but i think I am doing alright. At least that is what the beer tells me! I think my eyes are good and the placement is good (except the forehead seems to stick out a little far maybe) but I think I need to trim the teeth down a bit more, especially towards the outside ones. Feedback before I make irreversible moves like drilling holes would be greatly appreciated.

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 You could go a little more on the teeth. I like mine nice and square... and chicletesque. Here is some hero teeth reference for you: Aloha, -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChandler Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 How do these look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 that looks nice. I can't see for sure, but make sure you have that cap pulled tight against the face. There should be no gap or very, VERY little between the brow trim and the face. Make sure the front of the temple trapezoids align with the outer corner of each eye. Oh and Eric? Chicletesque???????? LMFAO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthChandler Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Steve, I will definitely pull it in, I need to get some clamps as well as my magnets as they allow shifting :/ haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthChandler Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have magnets and clamps, now I just need time! I have been working so much I haven't touched it in weeks. On the flip side, my wife apparently contacted someone from the Midwest garrison and had a tk stop by my work today to sing for me for my birthday! Haha. We are going to donate to a charity of the troopers choice now, it was awesome and everyone at my work loved it! Definitely inspired me to make time after we move in two weeks!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Awesome that's the FISD spirit, troopers helping troopers or in this case, troopers singing to troopers BTW Happy Birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChandler Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So today gasmosis and I got to work and got a lot done. I don't have many pictures to post but we finished trimming a lot of the kit, got the helmet drilled and riveted, and spent a LOT of time working on the ears and even more looking through screen shots! Haha. Pictures will be coming shortly when I get to a computer. Idk why this tapatalk app doesn't allow photos!!!

DarthChandler Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I finally worked the files down to a respectable size! Pictures of the bucket, man the ears were tough! Tomorrow night or Friday I should have pics of the thermal detonator, further progress of the helmet and who knows what else! How does it look so far?
