Sirene[TK] Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 So, I just bought the kit from KW and I have to admit, I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I already have a regular approved TK and I wanted to (this may sound silly) actually make my Jes Gistang statue a mini-me. So I figure my gloves and neck seal will do fine for this set of armour. I looked over the CRL and it seems to ring true, can someone confirm? The parts I'm struggling with are the helmet decals and the boots. My TK boots aren't the best and I believe I need something more chunky for the Fem armour anyways. I am so excited! I'm hoping to have this done for late August. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutter Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Another Legacy! Your gloves and neck seal will be fine. TK boots wouldn't be acceptable. Good luck with your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirene[TK] Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Ok, so still trying to figure out where to get boots from =/ This is the picture from the CRL: http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:LegacyTK-female-boots-A.png Would these be good? I can add in the strip to the top of the boot myself: ------------ Edited September 28, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfett40[TK] Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Sirene, Where you able to locate a tutorial on attaching the strappings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirene[TK] Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I haven't yet. Do you know of one? I finally got my kit in the post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutter Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Congratulations! Now the fun begins. You can use the strapping method for regular TK's. There's nothing really special about Legacy armor in terms of how to strap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirene[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Nice. I'm really finding my statue and the CRL immensely helpful. I tackled the helmet today and managed to get it mostly together. Just some painting and the lenses to put in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwdesigns[TK] Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 The Helmet looks nice. It takes time but it looks like you are doing a great job. Kevin W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirene[TK] Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks! I'm a little worried that I'm on the tall end of the suit. This past weekend I was able to fit the thighs and the shins. The calves don't quite line up with mine. Once I get the thighs assembled I'll hang the knees and see where we're at.

Sirene[TK] Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Ok, so everything is fitting, some things are large, some things are tight. I am now at the stage where I'm just sanding the edges and getting ready to glue the permanent bits together. I'm going to be using ABS cement, it's what I used on my TK and it's lasted what, almost 7 years now without giving up? Good enough for me.

kwdesigns[TK] Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Your lower legs will sit a little higher when you have your boots on. My Wife is 5'11" and she wears this set of armor. Kevin W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VadaeAmoga85[TK] Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Im still looking for the place to get the boots for the legacy. did the kindred sole website work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirene[TK] Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 The kindred sole site didn't work out for me. I ended up buying a pair of boots off Ebay that matched basic CRL requirements and added the white strip down the front on my own. I now have a pair of Gio boots that are perfect. I did complete the kit, here's a pic from DragonCon sans helmet because I haven't installed fans yet and I just couldn't handle wearing it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to help my sister build her kit and ever link I find here is either broken or the seller is out of stock.

If find a source I will post it. So far I have set ordered from Gio and while I wait and wait I found a white chunky sole but black boot and ordered from Amazon (going to add the strip and paint white for the approval).. but they changed delivery date to May... >.< Edited September 28, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frat-man-du[TK] Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I feel your pain... Gios are spot on for approval, but there is a good wait for his awesome work. I even tried to get a set made locally but time was 120 days+.. I want to get approved before Celebration in April. Almost finished, just chest and back strapping, final fitting and of course shoes.

I ordered from him on Halloween. He said 2 weeks. He also isn't responding to any of my inquires about them. Pretty sure I'll never see them.

Pretty sure I'll never see them. Ok after a month of messages he finally got back to me this morning and said "your boots will be picked this friday". So looks like there may actually be light at the end of this tunnel! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
