TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Well other then the fact that jawas ran off with your boots and gloves it looks good. dont forget to paint the rivits white and then weather them up a bit. Helmet looks awesome!! Are u wearing a neck seal?? not sure I think u need to raise the butt and kidney plate some that way it will cover the small gap were the back and kidney plate meet!!!! so far looks good, dont forget to post at the MEPD and wait to see what our dirty brothers there and here have to add!!!! i dont know the specifics of covering up the side gaps for example for a TD....??? I like it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZGÛL Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Wow, really like the look of it! The helmet looks close to the originals and makes me think of the Stop that ship trooper (which is one of my favs!) except the teeth! You nailed the profile, which I think is kinda tricky so well done. I love that you made the eyes rough as the originals too. Very nice! The weathering looks very good and balanced on the pics. Did you base the neck trim gap on a special trooper? Havent seen that variant before. The pics could fool me, but is only 2 screws on each ear? A really really good suit! Can you post pics on the helmet interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougefresh Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Jeffry-- I dig it! The matte, unpainted finish has a really cool look to it. Great job with the weathering, and the helmet assembly! Lookin' good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE[501st] Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Lookin' good man! My biggest suggestion is to connect the sides so you breath in when you put the armor on and breath out when you take it off. Seriously though, it can really help the look if you connect them. Keeps the ab plate from "leaning." I have my armor connected and because of that put it on in this order: 1) shins 2) ab / kidney / butt plate 3) thighs 4) biceps 5) chest / back / shoulder bells 6) backpack 7) pauldron 8) gloves 9) forearms 10) hand plates Just FYI. haha Good work so far though! And YES... if you haven't yet, post on the MEPD? already man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAZGÛL Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 to: mattii was going for that look thanks for noticing lol the eyes were kinda accidental but i like it so i went with it the neck trim was an accident on my part so im gonna bridge the gap with a lil more of it there are only 2 screws cause i lost one so i thought itd be weird with 3 on one side and 2 on the other im gonna try and find another matching one yes ill post pics of the inside in a min thanks for the support Well deserved Jeffry! LOL about the eyes, I worked alot to get my eyes looking like the originals. If you haven glued the necktrim, you could turn it so the gap is behind the vocorder, and the bridge wount be noticeable. Maybe Terrell could send you replacemnet screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE[501st] Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 so do you mean like make shims ? or like connect it with black elastic? Yeah, I meant with shims... but whatever you want / works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
