eqdizzle[TK] Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Rebels TK item list: Bucket: Originally GZ, may move to the TZA TZA Armor: TZA / Talon With Walt's upgraded shins Boots: not official. Working with Imperialboots to develop Imperialboots Underarmor: Plain old black underarmor. May use the Anovos, but it's a little on the hot side Gloves: These look to be the same fabric as the compression suit, not the rubber/latex of the Movie TKs. Black wrist length Opera gloves Neckseal: Very different than the Movie TKs. Looks to be the same material as the compression suit, with horizontal stripes without adding dimension. Balaclava may be required. E-11: Rubies with LED upgrade. D-Ring added The Rebels TK does NOT have a holster..! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I picked up a 2nd hand bucket GZ bucket off the main board a month or two ago, and I'm now in process of finishing it: This bucket didn't come with decals or mic tips, so I've had to paint the details and source a 3d printed set of mic tips. As you can see, I had a bit of the white paint come off when I removed the painter's tape, so I'll have to repair this before I weather. Paints used : Rustoleum "Works on Plastic" White Primer Rustoleum "Works on Plastic" Gloss White Rustoleum "Works on Plastic" Semi-Gloss Black Rustoleum Smoke Grey Hand-painted Testor's Semi-Gloss Black Edge-lighting on teeth with Testor's Flat White coming soon...weathering, mic tips, and tube stripes!

eqdizzle[TK] Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Mic tips. These are 2 piece, so the main body is painted in Semi-Gloss black, and the center is Rustoleum Metallic Aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqdizzle[TK] Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Weathering added. I misted some of the Smoke Grey in split second bursts from about 2-3 feet away. I let this dry, and then dry and wet-sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper to give it this look. I think this matches the on-screen weathering pretty darn well. You can tell it's there when viewed up close, and it fades away a bit when viewed further back. Really nice and subtle. I'll likely do some more sanding to take even a bit more off, though.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Looking good, I found using satin black on the trim and vocoder made it look more cartoonish http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29365-rebels-stormtrooper-helmet/ Edited June 19, 2016 by gmrhodes13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqdizzle[TK] Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Agreed...! This has the Semi-Gloss (i.e. Satin) as well, but I'll be hitting it with a bit of 0000 Steel Wool to knock just a bit of the shine off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqdizzle[TK] Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Mic tips added, and weathering scrubbed a bit more. I also hit the black areas with steel wool to knock a bit of the shine out. Now I'm just waiting to hear back on tube stripe stencils...! Then we're looking at sealant, visor, padding, and fans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illusionz_09[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 who is selling the buckets now? to make these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqdizzle[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) I don't think GZ is active at the moment, which is the primary reason that I picked up the 2nd hand one. Talon/TZA is doing a full kit run that includes his version of the bucket. Both buckets seem to have some advantages...! **edit** In other news, the payment was made for the armor kit...so this looks to be a thing. And I suppose if I got tan, shaved my dome, and got a white beard, I could go all Rex in TK disguise while I'm at it..!

eqdizzle[TK] Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Still waiting on armor to arrive, but that has given me time to work on the E-11: cleaned up the rail ridge, filled screw holes etc, and added a 3v 5mm red LED in the barrel with a momentary microswitch in the trigger. The power cell area is removable to allow changing of batteries. Sorry for the extreme shadows in the pics, but I hope the images are able to come through!!
