New armour build Star Wars Rebels TK

[Fem Kat Rebel TK]

Yes I will be sealing the armour from inside the casts of the cslves/shins. The outside will be fully enclosed on the inside will have an attached strip inside that will have velcro on sealing it to make a flush joint

[Fem Kat Rebel TK]

The joint would need sanding down as smooth as possible to get a nice smooth finish when filled on the outside. .it wouldn't be as noticeable from the inside. This is very much like a half tk half clone type of build.

Well I hope my build helps you. I plan to do this to the best I can ☺

After studying more HQ photos it appears that there isn't a grey wash on the armour it is in fact the shadowing from the environment. .so I will be keeping the armour white ☺

 

sorry to disagree but actually it's a grey wash. it's like orange skin texture. all rebels textures are like that.

and I think TZA uses HIPS plastic, as this doesn't look to be resin.  If that's the case, I'd recommend using sludge for the filler in lieu of Bondo.  The Bondo will eventually crack and require much more maintenance to keep it looking right!

Thank you Eric

Started trimming the breast plate, ab plate and bottom half. i find the hips material much more easier than the abs, especially for sanding to a nice smooth rounded finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I trimmed the back plates as well.

Looking good!

Thank you

Great work!

 

I agree with you on HIPS being a bit easier to work with.  If I can give you any advice...reinforce it...!

 

You WILL have cracking as you wear it.  Fiberglass mesh tape with epoxy at the edges, especially at the big lines.

 

I'd bug Darth Aloha about getting a CRL discussion started as well!  I'll be joining you in Animated TK building soon!!!

That's what I've just been trying to research - Rebels is canon, isn't it?

 

So with this and the other 10 kits already sold, with more probably coming we'll need a CRL soon.

A crl isn't based on someone selling kits. There's two ways to get a crl. First In Legion:. Make a kick an impolite person screen real accurate costume, write the proposed Cel, submit all the needed reference pictures ( think centurion application pictures ) and submit to the LMO.

 

Or, wait for enough full body high def imagery to appear, write a basic outline, and get a fire lit under our butts :-)

[eqdizzle[TK]]

You're correct...the Rebels TK is every bit as canon as the ANH Stunt, but we'll need good 360* reference shots, and full CRL text with individual part pictures.  I've helped create the CRLs for Commander Appo, the 501st grunt for CTN and the Death Watch Airborne for the BHG (new to Legion).  Please let me know how I can help bring this one to life as well..!

Hey Kat another thing i noticed as going through some of the photos online are the boots the boots are still the same Chelsea style boots except the soles of the boots are flat
