Now working on the R1TK: WOW! Jim you will be the first one to produce the new R1TK armor. Are those "bucks" to be vaccuformed in ABS or will the R1TK armor be made of the same flexible fiberglass as your Deathtrooper armor? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthcue[TK] Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 i think it will be flexible fiberglass.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those "bucks" to be vaccuformed in ABS or will the R1TK armor be made of the same flexible fiberglass as your Deathtrooper armor? The R1Tk has all these hard edges that will be difficult to pull off with vacuforming. So it'll be cast in the flexible fiberglass. i think it will be flexible fiberglass.... Yup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim - please keep us posted with details as you go so we can ensure that what you do and the CRL are in alignment. Mind if I take this post and start a new thread specifically for the R1 TK to keep it separate from the DT? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swibowoj[TK] Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Love to see your new R1TK build. Can we sitdown wearing armor if you use flexi fiber material? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parquette[TK] Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I do believe the R1TK was designed to be more mobile, and there is a group shot where on set the extras sat down in their TK armor, along with a knocked out trooper in the backround on Jedha when Jyn attacks. Even if it's flexible, you should be able to sit down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parquette[TK] Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Hey Jim! Great looking pieces so far! Now I remember asking you ahead of time a while ago about pricing on these when these parts are made, and you gave a estimate of what it may be at. I'm curious: do you have an updated estimate on just the back and chest armor? Also, when would just the chest and back armor be available? Those parts are mainly what I need for my own build Edited March 28, 2017 by Par_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kman[TK] Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Darn it. I'm not a huge fan of fiberglass, even the flexible type, but this project has me reconsidering that stance. Can't wait to see how the final product looks! Jim, will you be doing a helmet as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
