Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 I wonder if that is just for BF2, right? Quote
Robert P[501st] Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I wonder if that is just for BF2, right? I find it doubtful. It has been announced that the game will venture into TLJ, and with DICE's attention to detail, trying to get their ingame models as close as possible to the used props. I think we can safely assume that this helmet will be a good representation of what we will see in TLJ. Worth noting is that the fore-arms are in the TFA style. I am assuming that they have been working on a trooper model before the new TLJ redesign, and that they have recently updated their helmet to represent the new movie. Ofcourse, we wont know it for 100% certainty untill more movie footage. Edited April 17, 2017 by Robert P Quote

Robert P[501st] Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 A nice new shot from the E3 battlefront 2 trailer. Quote
mitcheg1[501st] Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 So I've been asked about modding my bucket and didn't see the point. I will say that I like how they fade from the FO to Imperial TK in the battlefront trailer. Has me slightly intrigued about making the change. Wonder if there's enough interest though, based on many of your responses. Quote
heartstopper85[TK] Posted June 12, 2017 Report Posted June 12, 2017 I'd love a last jedi bucket Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote
Dday[501st] Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 So, I'm working on this version right now. If anyone would like to have some thought in the process, send me a PM. Renders should be starting available in about a week or so. Once i have this I will also setup a new WIP thread. The goal ail is to have as accurate a replica as the TFA helmet I produced. Some of my early casting problems won't be here because I'm learned a lot about the casting process since then. Quote
heartstopper85[TK] Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 dang photobucket, can't see your images. I saw a few other builders with buckets coming up still think we are a few good ref materials off from getting it perfect Quote
Dday[501st] Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 Really have to sort through and fix my links from Photobucket. At least the most important ones. Here are some photos of my TFA helmet. Quote
Dday[501st] Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 The biggest changes In TLJ so far that I know is the nose piece, teeth, mesh area (due to teeth) and the latches are level and not sticking out. There might be some additional symmetry issues, or something on the back we haven't seen but I don't think this will be the case. Quote
Dakari[TK] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) In looking at the behind the scenes video yesterday there seem to be a bunch of changes, some which will preclude using a standard FOTK and converting it to a TLJ, at least for certain variants. Others have pointed out the fact that the O II has been reversed on the Executioners. While looking at a screenshot of a scene with multiple troopers, it appears that there is some new weaponry (trooper on the right looks like a HWT, but is that a sling or hose?), a change to the cod, possibly additional changes to the biceps, (coloring, beyond what we've seen on the executioner and Hammer wielding trooper) and it looks like we can wear black skate shoes now since it's in the clip! Also, whats up with the large amount of blocked out mask area in the second picture of the trooper behind the flames? Is this a screen artifact due to pixellation? The square thats blocked out makes me suspicious. Edited July 16, 2017 by Dakari Quote
Dday[501st] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 The last trooper is an execution trooper and has a different paint job. The black on the end of the stripe of black paint also this photo is mirrored. You can see because the mictip is shown here to be in the right side but we know it's normally in the left. They did a ton of mirrored photos for rogue 1, not sure if it was because it looked better or to set us down the wrong paths... Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Regard in the black sections of armor a few of us were discussing this on the FO Facebook page. I'd personally commented on how the top section of the yoke is black and the million dollar question from a year or so ago regarding the use of a black shoulder bell has now been answered. Quote
Dakari[TK] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Tony, do you see the bicep on the trooper being black as well? At least a portion of it... Quote
jimmiroquai[TK] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Only parts that are black on the armor are the shoulders and yoke. BTW, finished this recently: 2 Quote

No, as Jim mentioned at this moment I only see a black bicep and partial yoke section. BTW you're rocking that helmet Jim. Awesome job! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Definitely seems to be mirrored, apart from the II O the TD end cap is on the other side Quote
Dakari[TK] Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 I'm still trying to figure out what's with that one trooper. It looks like he as a HWT vest of some sort on, but the white visible on the chest is odd. And there does appear to be something going on with the left bicep, to me it looks black, but the pic is so lo-res I can't tell. And the hose/sling... Quote

tydirium1[TK] Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) That photo was taken during TFA shooting. It's not from TLJ. I've seen it many times before. Some one leaked a spoof. Of course I'm talking about the one where thd trooper has his helmet off. The one with the black shoulder bell ( execution trooper) looks cool. Edited July 17, 2017 by tydirium1 Quote

Given the differently-shaped frowns and how it doesn't match any of the helmets seen on-screen or on screen-used display suits from TFA, that doesn't make sense. Quote
tydirium1[TK] Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 That photo was taken during TFA shooting. It's not from TLJ. I've seen it many times before. The photo I was speaking of was from the original post. There is a link saying it was just leaked. There are several others in this thread that are obviously new and from TLJ. But the one I've seen many times before Unless some Jedi is using a mind trick on me Quote
