One tiny little thing: you've forgotten to paint the ammo knee belt rivets :P (except if they weren't paint on tantive IV stormtroopers).

 

Looking forward for your weathering!

very nice, I cannot wait to see the final result after your bucket and weathering is complete...  :popcorn:  - Tantive IV trooper for the big win!

THX for all your comments my brothers!

 

I am really happy with how this is turning out.

 

Now, I am still saving the bucket for later on, and now I actually have a new idea... Make the bucket into an ESB version.

 

Why?

 

Cause last tuesday I received my HDPE RS bucket. I normally get all my armor and props y kit forms, but this I got it already finished cause that was the only way to get the HDPE version, and I wanted it to have a real full replica armor.

 

Needles to say, the bucket is awesome and I am sure that together with the armor they both will only look better. 

:)

 

This is the bucket out of the box.

Ill suit up maybe next week again, and take some picts with the new lid.

 

And, about the TM bucket... I am considering maybe make an ESB bucket.

Already have a few ANH TDs and TKs, and a ROTJ TK...

So...

 

Or should I make it ANH?

 

What do you think?

 

Saludos

ESB helmets are nice so if it's the only one you still don't have, do it :)

But you know what it means: if you have the helmet, you'll need an armor to go with ^^!

Fantastic Tantive IV recreation!  really fantastic work here... and your new RS bucket is fantastic!  Your suit looks like it came right out of the Lucasfilm archives!  :jc_doublethumbup:

THX Guys!!

:)

I am too really happy and excited too see this come alive.

 

 

 

Now, here are a few pictures of the Bucket.

Not all the detailing shows in the pictures due to bad lighting, but it is really awesome.

That looks amazing. I like how everything looks like it has a good thickness to it. Amazing work Juan!

They should arrive soon... Lets see how they really work for my TK.

They look really good! The u-shaped elastics are a bit stretched but as they'll be hidden under the shins that should do perfectly. Good luck with the dye  :).

Oh my god i love your build! I am in the middle of a ata/rs TD build.

I am blown away! I love the way you think about even "producing the armor like they did it in the movie"... Turned out perfect. I am really excited to see your weathering..!!!

Thx for your comments.

Here are a few picts of my resin power cylinders by PlayfulWolfCub.

They are awesome. I now only need to finish them and add them to my E11.

The final two parts of my E11 to be modified are done, now it is all up to fitting, painting and weathering... Also, for the armor, it is only a matter of trimming the back of the shins on the back of the knee part and weathering... soon.

Boots arrived.

Unfortunately, they were not Stuarts but Coles. 

Anyway, they do look the part and think will be great placeholders until I find a pair of original Stuarts.

Now, need to find out how to better paint them white.
