Rego's Incinerator (pic heavy)

[Rego]

Here is,as promised in my introduction thread, my INCINERATOR thread.

 

THIS is how everything started:

 

But after some troops in my Stormtrooper costume, I decided to go for a INCINERATOR and started to mask off the required areas,so i could spray paint the patterns on the armor parts, Here are some of my WIP pictures:

 

 

 

 

And here,after finishing the paint job, the fully painted costume:

 

 

 

 

And here a few pictures of last weekend's outdoor photo shooting:

 

 

 

 

 

And on the following picture, you can see the obvious things that need to be changed:

 

 

 

So, things that obviously need to be changed are:

 

- my black pauldron has to be changed for a red one

 

- no thigh pouches but the "sandtrooper pouches" on the left shoulder ( ordered yesterday)

 

- there is a tiny black stripe on my belt on the pictures. It was a stripe of sticky velcro, which i have removed after the pictures were taken.

 

- the buttons on the torso plate need to be inverted

 

- the drop boxes must be grey ( I painted them grey and re-arranged them after the pictures were taken)

 

 

So, constructive critics and comments are very welcome and i hope to be one the new Incinerator troopers, soon...

As I told you before, it is a very good start

I'm waiting for the updates !

[ZeroRoom[TK]]

Great work! The EU TK's are really taking off around here. Keep posting pics of your progress so we can keep growing EU trooper knowledge on the forum. Maybe do a build thread if you make a go of the flamethrower?

[TK_LEPER]

Dude!! That looks awesome!

[Daetrin[Admin]]

It's coming along great! I think tapering the left thigh a bit will enhance the look. As for the thigh pouch - while it will need to be removed for acceptance pictures it's a neat piece for non-canon events.

 

I'd say go for the door trim while you're at it - Mason found a very cheap source and would add that extra flair of accuracy for little investment. Might as well if you're going to invert the ab plate

[dashrazor]

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

 

[Cannon]

You look awesome dude, love this shot

[Rego]

Thanks everyone! Your comments really push me forward.

 

Mason, thanks for your illustration.

Most of the things, you suggested, have already been done in the last 2 days. Pictures will follow soon...

[Quartermaster[501st]]

Looks great! Welcome to the INC group! Glad to see another one in the ranks!

[Rego]

 

Here you can see all the updates on my INCINERATOR:

 

- I removed the thigh pouches and added the ammo pouches on my shoulder

 

- the pauldron has been replaced by a RED one now

 

- I also modified the belt. The outer edges have been cut to make the belt look better (and make it more comfortabel )

 

- drop boxes have been painted GREY

Great work !

But it still needs a little update : you have to invert the ab button plate. The buttons have to draw a " _| "

 

Please, take more detailed pics

 

Can't wait to see it completely done dude !

[Rego]

Today I finished my Incinerator:

[Sparrow]

Looks great!

[stevechewbacca[501st]]

You did a good job dude !

I just see some little things that might not disturb your acceptance but can make your ICN greater :

 

- Fix your left shoulder bell with a strip around the biceps to avoid the ammo pouch pushing it to the rear. (I know this is not asked in the CRL but I had to do it for mine too to be able to get my Centurion status)

- Change the color of the pauldron : in the game, the pauldron is lighter than the red stripes, yours is darker.

 

You see, they are just little details, that are not difficult to do

 

Good job anyway !

 

Steve

[Rego]

Thanks Steve! As I told you, you have allways been a great help on my way to my Incinerator Trooper.

 

It's stated in the CRL for the ICN that the pauldron must be just RED for Legion membership. I couldnt find a lighter pauldron so I spray-painted it with a red leather paint. The special leather paint keeps the pauldron leather smooth and flexible and doesn't "break" and chip when moving.

 

Edit: membership application is on its way! *crossing fingers*

Easily one of the best Incinerators I have seen. Great job !

[Mopar McNeer]

So how difficult was the decision to go this route after having an already kick-an impolite person TK costume? Were you nervous to paint that red?

Looks really good.

[Rego]

Thanks! In the beginning, when I started the Stormtrooper project, there was no intention to become a member of the 501st Legion. It was just a "fun project". So, the decision to finally go for a "Incinerator Trooper" wasn't so hard to make. And yes, I was a little nervous when i pushed the button of my red spray can for the first time And I know now, that i made the right decision. I love my ICN!

[Pyro[TK]]

Looks good bro!

[Rego]

Thank you!

 

What I'l need in the future is a plasma rifle/flamethrower...

[Rego]

Here are some pictures of me wearing my ICN armor. I was supporting our local Garrison during the "Movie Days" where I had the chance to meet Dave "Darth Vader" Prowse.

 

 

 

 

[Thalizar[TK]]

Your build looks great. Love the red,it really looks striking. I know what you mean about pressing that spray nozzle for the first time, hoping your doing the right thing. Again great build can't wait to see your rifle.

[Rego]

Thank you and thanks to everyone else. I'm still waiting for my "approval message" and my TK ID. So keep crossing your fingers for me.

 

I will do a flamethrower,yes. But the weapon threads are full of completely built flamethrowers. What i need is a "HOW TO build your own Plasma rifle" Thread or a Sale thread. So, if anyone can help, please let me know.

[Rego]

Yesterday, I had an email in my mailbox: My costume is accepted and I am a member of the 501st Legion now!!!! All I have to do now is waiting for my TK ID.

[stevechewbacca[501st]]

yeah ! congrats
