Commander Gree

Unfortunately this is HIPS and not ABS. so I cant use JB Weld. I was told ONLY DEVCON and so that is what I am going to use. But I believe the process will be the same. Shim, Devcon, and sand and paint.

So not as much as you would want to see, but its enough lol. I do think I am going to have to shim the abs and kidney, plus the diaper. Does anyone have experience with the HIPS material as opposed to ABS? I am almost positive that is what this kit is and have also reached out to Walt. But just wanna make sure that if I need to create a shim I will get a good bond out of the pieces. Anyways, Stay tuned. Am hoping to have the helmet at least finished this weekend. Thanks all!

Big news! My BBB should be here tomorrow. Per Walt's instruction, I ordered a Ton of Devcon to help with the assembly. From the pictures I have seen of the kit, Walt made some interesting choices with how he decided to create his molds, but I will make it work. I love that the Rebels TK has the "lines" built into them, but the shin molds appear to have been pulled to create a front and back, instead of a side to side like the Live action TK. so this will most likely require filling and painting and all that. I may end up separating the back into 2 parts, then attach both to the front, and have the opening at the back of the shin. But all this will just depend and decisions will be made once the kit is in hand. This is a very difficult build in the fact that there are only 5 in the entire legion that have them approved. Will surely have questions and want to get the advice or opinion of this detachment along the way and am very excited to have a costume that not many have, or have seen. Stay tuned!

There is one on a grey pauldron i believe. Its on the TK outside Thrawns office. But cant confirm the color exactly to be grey or could be white. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Yup! I definitely will suggest anyone looking for a Pauldron, live action or animated, go this route. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtneoES?ref=header_seller_shop_name&campaign_label=shipped_no_tracking_number_exp_treatment&utm_source=transactional&utm_campaign=shipped_no_tracking_number_exp_treatment_010170_1177663002201_0_0&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&email_sent=1691417337&euid=GbEzWW6BAVkqVySDWXlMu5uYXEuN&eaid=46109880495&x_eaid=86b45f61c2&link_clicked=7 Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

So have been talking with CS about this but need to post it here as well. My Pauldron came in and was submitted, and accepted, for an accessory of the Rebel TK for the CRL. Insignia is a decal.

Email sent...I think

So what do we think @Sly11, can we get this added to the CRL?

How does this look? Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Alright everyone here it is! Tell me what you think! material of the decal is vinyl and looks great for an "animated" look.

Welcome back!!!! Glad you are ok! Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

I think it looks perfect! Will be adding the decal this weekend Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Just got word that the Pauldron would be in the mail tomorrow. Once I have it in, I will send pictures ofthe pauldron, then apply the decal, and send pictures of that as well for the CRL update

Just got word that my Pauldron should be on its way to me soon!

ArtneoES on etsy. Cool dude and a legion member. Definitely been a big help with this. And super affordable Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

He has been super receptive to comments and feedback and wants to produce the most accurate part he can. Really glad I found him Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Sent him the critique and he is going to thin the strap and make it the neck hole wided so its not layed right up against the neck

@Sly11, @gmrhodes13, @revlimiter, @Chemi what do yall think? Flat without any puffiness to the pauldron and the attachments are not evident on the left side.

Boots came in and will be working on them this week. Only issue I have with them, but working on it, is they are press branded in the side of the heel. If anyone knows how to get that brand out would be greatly appreciated. The boots are a leather or leather like vinyl that will be painted white. there is also a rubber sole that is ridged. The sole is technically flat as required by the CRL but does have some cuts in it that I want to get rid of to make it smooth like the animated version. I have already taken a sander to the sole and it worked great getting them to flatten out in the back, so will do this to the rest of the sole and make them more accurate. I will post pics this afternoon. Pauldron should be finished sometime this week and shipped out. Hoping to have it in hand to add pics next week and get it added to the CRL

Sounds good to me sir. We have already worked out the sticker vinyl on my end so as soon as the pauldron comes in i can get those pics to you. I will post them here Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk
