Guest TK-2416 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 thanks mate... Cant wait to start the weathering process.. The first time for me... Ha ha.. "Like a Virgin" Quote
davej[TK] Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Wow Dave , that's coming along so quickly . Well done mate !! Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks all you great guys!! Just been out buying a rivet set and a hot gun - so power cell here we come!! Then it is weathering time!! More to come - later today... Troop on Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 OK... Completed the Power Cell to the thigh My experience here... Important to measure and measure.. Go slow on the heatgun and measure... Make sure the drilled holes are fine.. not to thight and not to big.. My concern was to crap the armor.. Luckily didnt happen! I used some white silicone to cover the gap on the thigh.. A little bit on the front and some more on the back.. I used white paint, which you use to correct misspellings if you write using ink. (dont know the english word for it).. Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Here is the complete TE2 armor: Now it is weathering time... I use Rolf's weathering technique and I use his pictures as reference for my work... More to come Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks! I have tried to do my best! Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 New update! Completed weathering - took me around 3 hours - still missing the belt and then hairspray... Be gentle on me, it is my first time weathering.. Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Next step: The belt and the bucket.. Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Here I am in my new armor... First time wearing the complete armor!! Still need to weather the bucket, but I am out of earth colours... New set ordered... Quote
TK-4510[501st] Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Looks great dude. Tone down the weathering and it will be awesome!!! Quote
stukatrooper Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 The weathering needs to be 60% less mate.Also your Ab,cod is to high and your belt is to low.Have a one to one with Rolf im sure he will help you iron out these little teething problems. Im sure you dont mind me pointing these things out to make your suit 100% its alot more constructive than the (WOW,YERRRR,GREAT YOU ROCK ) posts Overall a real sold build keeping everthing close to the orig with the leg and arm strips.

Guest TK-2416 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks guys for the constructive input... I totally agree with the belt.. dont know what happened on the photoshoot.. Did I just loose weight? Ha ha... I got some really good hints from Rolf and I will tone down the weathering.. I am just out of colours and hairsprayed it.. so I wont start to mess around with it before I have the new colours in hand.. Hopefully by begin next week.. The ammo pounch is on its way from Germany and I am dreaming of getting a back-pack as well... New phots will be uploaded when the armour is complete - hopefully within the next two weeks or so!

MandalorianWarrior87 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Lookin' good! I agree with the weathering aswell, less is more This will help me when i get around to weathering my bucket. Can't wait to see more Quote
Sandman[TK] Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 The armor looks amazing, well done David, I'm currently working on mine. I can't believe how much time is involved. Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks bro! Yes it takes quite some hours to complete, but it was really great fun!! Now I am still waiting for more Woodlandscenics earthcolours, so I can complete my weathering... Meanwhile I am working on my Sandtrooper back pack.. So far: Have fun with your armor build! Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 So guys! been updating the weathering and here are some new pics.. I know I know.. the belt... I need to place some velcro on the ab part to hold it up... Will work on it.. Didnt see before I saw the pics on the computer (after taking of the armor) ... But it should at least give you an idea of th weathering.. I am washing the canvas belt to reduce the weathering a bit... Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Nice weathering job and the pack looks fantastic! Quote

XNtr3k Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 The pauldron seems a little too shiny.... But otherwise quite nice Quote
TK_Margarita Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 That looks sweet! I can almost hear you saying "These aren't the droids we're looking for" ;-) Quote
