Masterstumpy Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Hi everyone, My name is Cameron, and I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to Stormtroopers. I've been working on an ANH Vader for a few months now, and I thought it was about time to add a TK to my collection. I recently bought a set of HIPS ROTJ armor from CFO (Thanks guys ) and I thought I'd share my build with everyone Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Looks pretty glossy for HIPS. Build away young man!!!!! Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Cameron huh? You sound like the right guy for this type of armour! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Cameron huh? You sound like the right guy for this type of armour! LOL! I just love inside jokes! Looking forward to your build, Cameron! Quote
sskunky Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 I'm glad it arrived safe and sound..... Quote
bobojuice Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Nice! I'll be keeping an eye on this build. I might be springing for a nice ROTJ in the near future. Quote
JoeR Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Looking forward to this build up. Cameron, you should meet up with Cameron Oakley in Tasmania, he owned the original armour that this was cast from...! Joe Quote
davej[TK] Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Hi Cameron, great to see you here Mate, I see that you have joined up on the Southern Cross Garrison forums. Are you based in New South Wales? Quote
dashrazor Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 be sure to consider going EIB and Centurion we greatly need more ROTJ troopers in the ranks! ill be watching this build closely Quote
Masterstumpy Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Posted August 3, 2011 Hi guys!!! Still in the trimming stage... one of the scariest things I've had to do to a piece of my prop collection. My biggest worry is trimming too much away. Hopefully I'll have it all trimmed in a few days. Joe it would be awesome to see the original, pity Tasmania is so far away. Yes I am based in new south wales davej, about an hour south of Wollongong. I hope my build is up to EIB and Centurion standards dashrazor Hopefully my next post wont be too far away Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 I hope my build is up to EIB and Centurion standards dashrazor I was going through the list of requirements. Many of the EIB requirements are met simply by having the CfO kit. So, you're off to the best of starts whatever! Quote
davej[TK] Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Yes I am based in new south wales davej, about an hour south of Wollongong. Excellent, I'm mid way between Sydney and Wollongong, and we have a number of members living around the 'Gong. We had a troop in Gerringong about a month ago, not too far from you. If you need anything, give us a yell on the Garrison forum. Quote
Murdock1138 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 Is it HIPS? I thought the CFO was ABS? Looks great in any case.I love the ROTJ TKs.Thy are just so angry looking! Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Aloha guys... I'm going to be in the Jervis Bay area the week of the 15th. What are the chances there A) A troop scheduled in the area around that time There is someone who owns RT-MOD armor who lives around there?

Masterstumpy Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Opinions needed!!! I've pretty much finished trimming my chest and ab plates, hopefully I haven't trimmed off too much. Still needs a little more tweaking. Hopefully it all has the right scale; let me know what you think. I've put some black trim on the armor temporarily just to gauge the overall shape of the armor while I wait for some white trim to come. White trim is impossible to track down locally. Hopefully everything looks good. Images: http://s1112.photobu...nt=IMGP7577.jpg Edited August 4, 2011 by Masterstumpy Quote
sskunky Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 The armour is looking good. But I think you need to get a bit if sun! Quote
