Eagleskull Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hopefully i'm posting my WIP in the right place if not please let me know. After a bit of thinking it over a couple of time in my head, I finally decided to convert haha When I got my TK outfit it was a little off when trying to fix it/fit it on me, sadly only wore it about 3 times for events before pieces started to break and since i needed to fix and remake some parts decided to go Sandtrooper since I liked that salty look. So far just started to remove the proper parts off and added a little of the weathering, down the road before Celebration I do need to pick up another helmet since my current one has been a CE stunt. Also scratched built the sniper plate for the armor, just need to finally sand and then prep this for molding. Time to crunch down to finish this! -Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleskull Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thank you Overlander. Did a little late night sculpting making the new hand-guards, still a little rough but will smooth a bit before making the stone mold for latex castings. Above the sculpt are my TK ANH molds, had to use them as reference since the only good ref pictures I had where from the "move along" scene in terms of width and length.

Eagleskull Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Putting together my first TK helmet and I was wondering, it that flareup on the side of the ears normal? Look like everything is lining up when I have it together but those side keep popping up. Can anyone give me some insight on this, been following tutorials but they seem to skip this part and I want to fix it before I put they temporarily bolt in. Thank you in advance Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrue Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Interested in doing the same to a second set of armor. MEPD.net has been really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagleskull Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thank You for the kind words, Lesley! Still have a little mods here and there but hopefully will be up for review soon. =D -Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrue Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Did you figure out the helmet side flare up issue? I'm assuming when the ears are bolted on that it will fix the flare. I'm interested in seeing your hand guards as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleskull Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes, when I riveted the side they ended up getting a little more flush with the helmet also adding a little heat to the side helped the plastic "fall" into place before adding the ear caps. I'll get a picture of the hand guards later on today. -Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleskull Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Didn't want to make a new thread so hopefully someone can help me out, would anyone know where I can get replacement parts for my TK? My bicep and shoulders dont fit well anymore so looking for some new ones to be able to be more comfitable and actually be able to remove my helmet without help lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrue Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Which armor do you have? Mike (MTK Armor / Trooperbay) mtk_armor@cox.net would be a good start since he's in our garrison and local (Poway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleskull Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have a Frankenstein armor, main body is CAP-W and Helmet is ATA lol but I will send Mike an email soon, thank you Ruben. -Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bicep and shoulders dont fit well anymore so looking for some new ones to be able to be more comfitable and actually be able to remove my helmet without help lol What about them doesn't fit? That would determine which kit I would recommend. If the bells are too small, you would need one of the larger kits (AM, NE, RT-MOD) to replace them. The MTK kit is on-par with the other screen-derived kits like ATA and AP. From the photo, it looks like your biceps are too large. It would be easy to just modify them.

Eagleskull Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 The problem I had with them is that they are small on me even after I enlarged them. I used to fit in them but since lifting it always been a struggle to finally get them to fits comfortable and to be proportionate on me. Ill see what I can do with them. Also, sadly I feel the more I mod it the more I move away from the ANH screen accurate look I used to have and I dont like that LOL so I may have to put this on the back-burner still I cut down a bit more from training.

Eagleskull Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Little by little I'm hoping im getting there. Took some pictures since I redid some of my strap work, I noticed my leg armor still sags a bit though. At the moment my biggest goal is getting back to my old weight to better fit in the armor but let me know what you all think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutz Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Coming along nicely! A couple comments: • Keep the sniper plate over your thigh. Should not be tucked inside. • Notice a big discrepancy between the color of your armor and the color of your bucket. Do what you can to get them to match. • Looks like there are visible logos/seams on your under suit. Should all be blacked out. • You might want to taper the thighs a bit towards the bottom, especially if you plan to drop weight. It will help with the sniper plate issue too. • Try to white out the elastic on the boots better. • And yes, the thighs should be a bit higher if you can manage it. • It may just be the picture, but your right bicep looks a lot roomier than your left.

Eagleskull Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Awesome, Thank you for all the bullet-points, Dean! Greatly appreciate it, I did notice after the pictures most of these problems but I wanted to get different pairs of eyes to confirm and tips. Will continue working on this suit since I want to get it SA as possible. -Adriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
