TK20187[TK] Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Right Shin painted.A benefit of using the toothpaste method is I get a great result on the armour and also a minty fresh breath.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Procrastination and bad weather have slowed down the build.

TK20187[TK] Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Tackled the bucket today and while super nervous to start with, I'm super happy with the way it has finished up. Still more to do, but getting closer.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK20187[TK] Posted November 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Decided to partially suit up, only held together with blue tape but it is looking great.Strapping, belt, weathering and some other minor things to do. Getting closer.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Making strapping for my Shocktrooper so I thought I would upgrade my thigh support for my TK at the same time. Changing to a belt as opposed to attached directly to my ab armour. Look mum no handsSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted November 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I painted my Ab button plate today, unfortunately the smaller plate was missing but with some advice from a fellow TK (thanks Brent Seymour ) I made my own. A piece of ABS and black pins and it's done.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Knee Ammo, Belt Ammo and drop boxes all painted for my Shocktrooper. Now to dirty this armour up.....Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK20187[TK] Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Project: Shocking update.Most of the armour is complete, just needs some fine tuning and adjustments to some of the return edges etc.What's left - make the belt, trim the hand guards, build TD and TD clips, complete strapping system, buy some boots and dirty it up.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK20187[TK] Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 After getting some great advice from fellow troopers I trimmed my 'Wookie sized to me sized.

TK20187[TK] Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 With all my armour now assembled and trimmed I think it's time to get dirtyStarted weathering my Shocktrooper armour tonight and it's oddly satisfying.Using a black acrylic paint, rubbing it on with a rag, then removing any excess with a clean rag.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
