At last! Dennis TM build [*TM]

[Dennis[TK]]

So it begins!

 

I have bought the TM stunt set and are ready to start building... Also paid the trooperbay a visit and ordered some extra stuff so I can make a centurion better do it right to begin with right

 

 

So many parts

 

Started to tape so it would be easier to cut the overlaying plastic

 

Start cutting big thanks to TS-4037 from Nordic Garrison for the risky job

 

Thats a lot of plastic!!!

Just fyi, the wand on the dremel makes life a lot easier. Good luck!

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Yay GO DENNIS!

 

Our little supporter is growing up to become a TK of his own

Welcome Dennis!

 

I took the liberty of moving and renaming your topic since I think this will mostly be a build thread anyway.

 

Nice to have you here!

Thank you... I couldnt find where to make the topic so Im glad you did it for me

[Dennis[TK]]

Got my undersuit today ordered it last Sunday... just four days... wow

[troopermaster]

I've never seen tape used like that before. Any particular reason for it?

 

Scissors can cut the 1.5mm ABS easily. I haven't found the need for a Dremel with this plastic, so be careful with it. And, as Travis said, the wand is very useful.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

As Paul said, scissors are very usefull!

 

I trimmed more or less my entire kit with Lexan scissors. Search around and you should be able to find them cuite cheap. Think I paid 50-60 DKR for mine.

[Dennis[TK]]

Actually I have been using the knife more then the dremel... more accurate and easier to work with... works a a charm

[Locitus[Admin]]

And less plastic dust everywhere!

[Dennis[TK]]

true that

[Dennis[TK]]

Well its time for an update I think

 

 

What you see is basically how far I have gotten... but I have trimmed all pieces and glued them together... and glued on the strapping pieces to,

So tomorrow we´ll measure the bands and turn me into a trooper

[Dennis[TK]]

realized that my pic was a little to little so here is a bigger one ^^

[Locitus[Admin]]

Since you have Karin helping you, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[Dennis[TK]]

Thanks

painting the helmet right now... and watching some good Christmas TV ^^

One of the best Christmeses for a long time

[Geaux Saints[TK]]

One of the most rewarding parts of my build was hand painting my helmet. I highly suggest it. It looks so good when you're done. Good luck!

Question... If I am going with an DLT blaster... do I still need a holster to get approved 501st membership?

[Dennis[TK]]

And oh... I´m almost finished to

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Question... If I am going with an DLT blaster... do I still need a holster to get approved 501st membership?

Thats a good question, as the DLT and E-11 are both an option not a must, even as an option as I read it you still need a holster but I would shoot the DO a pm Locitus

[Dennis[TK]]

I think the option is that you can choose while you are trooping not to wear a holster if you are going with a DLT... but for membership you need to post with a holster... because it would be canon not to wear one with a DLT... seen in ANH

[Locitus[Admin]]

Correct.

[Nicky]

I was on a waiting queue for a long time for my holster so I just bought 15 SEK of black synthetic fabric and made a holster for the application and the first troops. It took me one hour to cut and sew along the diagram on this thread. It took me 2 hours to convert to metric units though.

 

It's not tough enough to hold a blaster, and I didn't have any at the time. So if you're going with a dummy holster just for screen accuracy while you'll troup with a DLT, it's something to consider.
