Trooper19767 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Troops, Here are some pics of my recently completed Stunt ANH armour. Been building this since October at night & weekends (like most people here). I also managed to build a E11 to complete the look. I had a very limited budget, so I purchased a 2nd generation FX armour with SDS stunt helmet. I have heavily modified the armour to fit, and all parts were fitted with a butt join rather than the default overlap method for reasonable accuracy. The legs needed some extensive cutting to properly fit my frame, as I didn't want anything loose or moving around, and I want to troop rather than an exhibition piece. The helmet was hand painted rather than decals (apart from the tube stripes which were rubbed down vinyls), and I painted the inside matt black with extensive padding and flat green acetate lenses. I also installed mesh for the frown, and have the Aker 12w amp with microphone connected to my iPhone with the TrooperTalk voice changer app. This has taken almost 3 months of work, but I have loved every minute. The E11, holster, belt & neck seal were all made at home thanks to the great tutorials on here, and some fab YouTube vids. I hope to get basic approval - maybe higher, but I'm doing this for the love rather than trying to get 100% screen accuracy. Can't wait to troop with my kids!!! Hope you guys like my rig! Cheers, Trooper1138 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wow, looks great! Can't wait to see you get approved. Too bad TK-1138 is already taken. What TKID will you be requesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi mate, you need to start a 'work in progress' or WIP, over on the UKG site. That's where you'll apply for basic approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper19767 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi, I already posted this in the UKG site, even although its complete. Thankfully, I spent months researching & taking my time to get everything as good as I could get it considering the ill fitting FX. After today's photoshoot, I might trim the arms a little as they've cut my forearms to ribbons. I've requested a few new TK's once I get approved. Yeah, I presumed 1138 was gone. I'll alter my handle etc when I get the official nod. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though you've finished, there may be tweaks and changes needing done to achieve basic 501st approval. Don't get disheartened, though. I can see a few things they'll pick up on. Just had a look on UKG site... you'll need to have the photos appearing in the thread itself, rather than a list of links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Cool. The UKG tends to follow a basic approval standard of something approximating level 2 on the CRL, so you may have a bit of work to do, unfortunately.<br> But as I said, don't get disheartened, just do one mod at a time and I'm sure you'll do OK.
