Congrats to Shannon the Femtrooper #2

Thanks Gio. Your boots were definitely part of the process, and are approvable as you have made them.

Here are the last set of shots we did. Hope they help.

How is the helmet in reality? It looks like it is too long in proportion to the suit.

[TK6682[TK]]

It is perfect. I didn't pad it for this photo.

My comment isn't a reference to your build but rather the proportions of the helmet itself.

[TK6682[TK]]

I'm sorry, then I do not understand your question. 

[TK6682[TK]]

I think the proportions are perfect. I think it was just that particular photo.

Perfect!

Now we know what we'll need to match for acceptance.

On the Boots, what did y'all use for the cover strip?

The Joker Squad helmet does look to have a long face. It's more prominently seen in a 3/4 angle. Kev did a really great job at emulating the look in the drawings.

 

Shannon had her first troop as an approved member today. We did a 2nd Halloween Trick-Or-Treat for a little guy who's been in the hospital for the past couple months and missed his favorite holiday. Shannon was a HUGE hit with the little girls. I handled (had our little Jawas with us) and got quite a few questions from the moms and dads about the armor, costumes, and 501st. It was a great event, lots of positive feedback about the female trooper, and I'm so glad it's finally approved for the ladies.

 

Thanks once again to Michael, Stacey, and Kevin for all your work on this. I have a happy wife. Well, for

Congrats on the approval!!

Although, I still dont understand the double morale of Legion command...

Morale is good, double morale...twice as good??

Just wondering about something strange...

The approved Fem-TK is accepted with the Knee type, helmet and DLT, all directly from the GG statue, instead of the comicbook style(s), but they cant accept the backplate detail, TD canister and boots...??

What are they smoking in Legion HQ, and where can I get it??

I feel the concessions like the backplate and TD were a way to appease the people who didn't want to give it legion acceptance.

 

My feeling is soon enough we will see the comic style requirements removed in favor of the GG statue based on the other clone bust approval rule.

So hey... when do we get this thread and the build threads moved to a new Subforum?

Totally agree. Seems like there were some "fine, let's go with this then" type decisions that don't completely make sense. Whatever.

 

Based on how long it took to get this approved... I wouldn't hold your breath on the statue CRL. The mods are easy enough to get approved, we can easily switch back if there are any changes.

Done.

Thanks Eric.

It's great to see this topic moved in the 501st approved section after so long of a thread... years in the making.

[TK6682[TK]]

Excellent! 

[Dday[501st]]

Ok, anyone who has the GG statue, can you take me some detail shots of the helmet, front, sides and back? I'd like to paint it right and like basing my work on the source material and not what others have done.

 

Thanks!

[bzb]

The source material is the comics, not the statue.

 

Edit: The source material, for current state of approval.

The source material for the approval of the helmet can't be the comic, since the helmet in the KW kit is lightyears away from the one seen in the comic. So I'm looking for detailed shots of the GG helmet since thats what the kit helmet is based from.
