bzb Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looks good - could probably close the gap on the left one (right in the photo) by trimming the return edge on the cup, but looks pretty good.

Arnie_DK[TK] Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Long time no progress... That have changed a bit now.The build is more or less done. Need to give the TD a final layer of paint, build the shoes and do some cleanup. Initial fitting of the belt(before the boxes and some random boots my wife had lying around(just to see how it looked with white boots) Belt boxes attached Since a Comic style backplate is required, I opted to build one of my own, based on reference from the comic book. Would have ordered one from Kev, but with the rediculous taxes and import fees here in Denmark, it seemed too expensive (it would be around 45$ total, plus shipping, because of taxes and fees!!) The comic style TD. Needs some touch up paint job. Otherwise just needs to be attached And I found some shoes, with a sole I liked. Had some leftover vinyl, from my TB, so I'm trying for my own shoe build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 This guy's a maniac... He butchered his wife's arms and legs to finish the build!! Seriously, it's looking good. I hope your Comic-style Backplate will do the job though, it looks nice but i noticed you haven't used the same pattern that KW used. What's the consensus about the backplate, does it have to be one specific way or just comic-style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks Dday, I will definetly think about it Horseman, Yes I chose another pattern than Kev. I looked through the comic and the clearest picture of the backplate I could find, was the one, from where Joker Squad assaults up some stairs, and its cleary Jes' Backplate, so I went with that.

Arnie_DK[TK] Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is the reference I was talking about.Since Legion required a comic style (ie. inconsistent) backplate, I thought I might as well go with a simple one I liked, that had a clear reference photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Boots are comming along. The ankle was a bit low and there would be a tiny gab between the back of the shins and the boots, when walking around, So I'm going to fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnie_DK[TK] Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 And setback... Me and paint are NOT good friends...Had to paint the back plate, TD and due to stupidity, the belt. Well I screwed up the paint, by giving the second layer too soon, so have spent a lot of time getting the paint off... This is not the first time I have done this and I really should have learned my lesson by now...but I guess I'm a slow learner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
