here are some screen caps from the force unleashed Kashyyyk trooper variant from The Force Unleashed

i assume the helmet is painted HIPS? if that is the case i would steer clear from ant type of paint thinner my self, even with a steady hand it could become a big blue mess really fast if it were my helmet i would use what i call the magic eraser technique get some gloss white acrylic paint (not solvent based) just like the stuff you can find at craft stores. you can touch up the blue using this method as well it might take a few (very light) coats to mask all of the blue but it beats sanding it off and repainting the whole helmet

just make a post directly after the first that only has something like this.. "this post is for photos i intend to add later "

just make a placeholder post and go back and add the photos later

we are currently re arranging the forums to make them a bit more user friendly and hopefully make it easier to find specific things one may be looking for. you may notice things may be missing but they are just being moved around sorry for the temporary inconvenience but once it is complete it should be a big improvement

Lucas saves the day again!!!

ok its not just me lol its driving me crazy!!! thanks for speaking up. i thought it was just my PC acting up

well thats a tricky one ; there are only 2 TKC eib recipiants so far. but keep in mind the standards have changed a bit since there badges were awarded. the best example to date that i would recommend for a reference is seantroopers TKC also the armor in the current CRL requirements is up to date as well http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_commander also use the screenshots as a guide, and i highly recommend getting the game to use as a reference

happy birthday Vern!!!

i usually just use a scrap price of wood or cardboard for my touchup paint another tip... never spill superglue on sweatpants i did this and my pants started to smoke!! then actually melted.. not sure what the fabric was, but it had a violent reaction

the cocking lever actually functions Vern,,, and serves as a practical means of changing the batteries and switching the sound light configurations. im not in to making the same thing that everyone else has i dare to be different -------

fantastic Lou! love the promo blaster approved! great work on the fix and you are #15 and the first ATA centurion!

its a bit more work but optionally you could also use a doopydoos kit and not install the counter and cylinders for an ESB style ideally get a m-19 scope from TK-4702 but the doopydoos scope will work for EIB as well here is a ESB blaster i made from a doopy pipe kit and a M19 scope casting

Derek i sent you a PM a while back did you receive it?? if you have any questions or need some help feel free post

wow! another easy pass great work trooper! Approved

super job trooper! its amazing what is being done with the AM kit approved and great job trooper!

i wouldn't suggest trying this, plastic is flammable you know

yes! i see what you mean... thats some weird jedi mind trick

i have no doubt you will have a fantastic build with Tom helping

gotta love the duct tape but its whats on the inside that counts..

in addition could you also pleas provide photos of the CAP suit that your armor was cast from? since you altered the MTK molds the Lineage cannot be determined from the pics you provided alone. also the pics you provided are test pulls and are lacking in detail for some parts (the backplate is a very soft pull). a side by side comparison would be great for seeing the changes that you made

LMK if you need any advice. i have built several flamethrowers. it looks like your off to a good start!

what questions did you have about the kit?? perhaps somebody here can answer them for you..

looking great!!! i have a few suggestions on things you might change to make it even more awesome

great work on all the fixes!! you can add the thigh pics when you get the cover strip material you ordered from RT-MOD .. Approved! and great work trooper
