Almost ready to join the ranks of the undead....

Hello all, I've  been inspired by the Deathtrooper builds here and have been working on my own Dt for a while.

Almost ready to send in the approval photos, but thought I'd share a few pics here and make sure I'm on the right track.

[mikedwelle94[TK]]

Awesome! That is one B.A. looking trooper. I wouldn't want to encounter you in a dark alley. 

[millenium1]

[Cantina Security[501st]]

I cant stop looking at your thread, I am so tempted to do this with my Jedi Robe Kit....

[neelz[TK]]

Cool thanks, glad to know i'm doing it right.

I'll be submitting my approval pics this weekend, (Last batch of photo's didn't turnout so well.)

 

This would be a great kit to make official.

[RichTrooper]

Awesome job! Like cantinasecurity has said I'll be doing this to my JR very soon

Any tips on getting the look right?

I printed out a bunch of copies of the TK ref photos, and drew lots of ideas for what the for what the Death trooper could look like.

that was the hardest part, creating a good concept.

 

Because I live in a desert, I wanted a somewhat mummified look as opposed to a freshly dead zombie.

Thats why I went for more browns and very little blood.

Once I knew what I wanted to do, I took my TK and sanded down the surface, and dremmeled the cracks and gaps.

 

I used acrylic paint matching the color schemes in this forum and used a sponge to apply it, and than wiped it of with a wet towel.

I did this repeatedly until I had the texture and color I wanted.

The facial prostetic, I made that myself, I have a some mask making skills, and had a very specific look I was going after, and I didn't want  a full mask. I can take the bucket off drink water or eat a snack with out any issues, the bucket on nd rejoin the ranks of the undead.

 

I took him out to a convention and a zombie walk, the reaction from th epublics been overwhelming. Lots of fun to wear, was it worth sacrificing my TK?

Only time will tell.

[Cantina Security[501st]]

Cool, fantastic job... Seriously ordered up some materials today , going to sacrifice my JR kit...

[TK-0380[TK]]

Congratulations.  That's one of the best Deathtroopers I have seen.

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

Nicely done. That's an incredible death trooper. I think you won't be sorry, but you can always build another shiny white
