darthcue[TK] Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 I was thinking about doing a helmet kit but i just won't be able to beat the price of a Hasbro black series helmet that you can easily mod. please make a R1 Tk helmet or will you just include a modded Hasbro black series with your kit? 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I personally think you should make the helmet Jim. Just my 2 cents. 3 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Yes Jim, make the helmet,. Your work is awesome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote
jimmiroquai[TK] Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Posted March 31, 2017 Ok, i'll look into doing a helmet as well. Here are the final iterations of the chest, back, and ab masters. We've made the bottom of the chest flare out. The pec lines also flare out a bit more. Neck line was lowered a bit. Front strap attachment profiles lowered. Any input at this stage prior to molding would be greatly appreciated. 6 Quote
artimorty Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Woooooow. <br> It's so impressing not only the high quality of your job, but the amazing speed of your work. Usually quality and speed don't match very well, but you nail it and nail it fast. Please, do the helmet! 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 Ok, i'll look into doing a helmet as well. YESS! BTW very nice work 2 Quote
cjkirk11 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 I agree, those are some sharp looking sculpts! Keep up the fantastic work. 1 Quote
Parquette[TK] Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) A little input before it's too late The I I 's in the O I I are actually on a little step, and don't have their own individual pedestals. ---------- And as is seen on the Hot Toys figure, the abdomen is located higher (actually is right next to the chest and back armor connection under the arms). Almost like an armor corset. In regards to the control panel on the ab, I think it needs more angular slopes at the ends like in this pic, along with the center raised line becoming a ramp that is flush with the box. http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=263949&page=4 But this is in no way picking! It's looking good Edited April 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working 1 Quote
Novak Dimon[TK] Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Great work! I'm happy that you decided to make a helmet! <br> I spotted one more thing concerning the control panel. At the reference pictures I saw the corners of the ab-buttons are a bit higher then yours. <br> Best regards!<br> Christian Quote
Daenerys[TK] Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 Amazing crisp details. Whelp...guess I should start saving up again. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk Quote

Parquette[TK] Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks for the input! Doing revisions now. Hey, sorry when I was talking about the abdomen armor, I said it was "located higher" instead of "it is taller." My apologies for messing that up! Quote

My apologies for messing that up! Mine is designed like that for allowance for taller troopers. One can trim off the top to bring it up higher. More updates: Still to do: rigid belts, TD, modify belt boxes 3 Quote

It's looking good I agree with Reese the "O & II" are on a risen step, and the "II" share the same step similar to Original Trilogy TKs. Here is a photo of screen used armor from Rogue One taken at Star Wars Celebration. http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o539/Ian_Reach/SWCE%20-%20RO%20-%20Stormtrooper/20160715_141048_zps9pvq0gre.jpg Edited April 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
SlyFox740[TK] Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Jim, as always your sculpts are amazing! I just wanted to show you some comparison shots next to images from the Rogue One Visual Guide. ------- As you can see from this side angle the horizontal ribs next to the ab buttons are actually quite deep and shaped like a heat sink. ---- http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/HToBKh.jpg Edited April 15, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote
Parquette[TK] Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Also on the "II" in the screen used piece, I think the horizontal lines are actually raised lines versus engraved lines. Quote
Artshot Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 The attention to detail of this group never ceases to amaze me, if it's out there.......somebody will find it 1 Quote

Yes, that's right. Due to the casting process though, it would be less prone to bubbling and mold damage if the fins were a bit shallower.

Jim, did you see the post above that one about the back plate? http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41169-jimmiroquai-rogue-one-tk-builds/?p=552832 Quote
darthcue[TK] Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) topnotch work doc!! Can't hardly wait for your kit.... i am really hoping to model it for you. Edited April 5, 2017 by darthcue Quote

Are you referring to the step the II is on that me and you were talking about? Quote
