Darman[TK] Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hi everyone, I wanted to see how close I am to elite status. Here are the pics. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Looks like you have all the bases covered. Is the belt canvas? And it looks from all the angles that the holster is attached properly. Looks like youre ready from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 As long as you can see the cut but plate under the belt, and take some close-up shots of a few helmet details you should be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M.[TK] Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I would agree with the comments above. I need to see: 1) Color of the lenses 2) The belt with the back on, so the separation is below 3) A shot of the side so we can see there is no gap I think that is about it. Bucket looks good.

Darth_Nickel Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 looking good!!!Interesting strapping on the butt plate. Can you share more? One more thing, just something I noticed since my arms always are getting pinched. You may want to trim down the top strip on the forearms. That way you don't have that overhang and it may help if you are getting any pinch there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 You did a great job on those FX thighs! I bet a set of RTMod shins would look good on there. Just food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Great job Bobby! I see you had the same issue I did with the butt plate flaring and came up with an identical solution. I ended up using just an elastic strap, but it looks like you are using cordura - is yours velcro or did you upgrade to a full buckle solution?

Darman[TK] Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Here is a pic Of Kahlers, mine is the same way, minus the suspenders. I used plastic wielder on my kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 What glue did you use? I used E6000 and it worked great connecting strapping to my HIPS TE2, but seemed to fail miserably when I tried it on my ABS kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darman[TK] Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks guys! Thanks for the words of incoragement and also for all the great threads that are on this site that helped me out! Do yo need an address to send my decals to? On a side note: I have worked on 4 sets of TK so far,so I know my cousin will be requesting his Elite soon, (waiting on a helmet),, My wife just needs one pic, the butt plate split, and my brother may apply soon too. Again, thanks, Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, thanks, Bobby And that's going to be a blast! In GT we have three Elite TK's with three more just one mod away. When you have a line up of well done clean TK's it's very impressive. Hey, it helps fulfill the dream I had when I started this place - that great looking TK's can look as sharp as any other costume in the Legion. Go white!

Terry19D Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Nice job, Bobby, and congratulations. To be honest, I can't imagine wearing my TK any other way now. I've received tons of compliments on my suit at the last couple of troops. Still doesn't keep me from tinkering on it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
