Hey everyone, so weve been working on this for a few months now and finally decided its worth sharing here... Let me know what you think!

Thank you

Is it possible to post bigger pics, only one that's full blown.

Sorry, amended that, thank you

Someone has done their homework. Nice job. Looking forward to seeing more.

So quick question, the unfinished ab is slightly different then the finished white. Are these levels of development? 

[Patient0x00[501st]]

Beautiful sculpt! Lots of very crisp lines. Beautiful!

 

Now, If I wanted to be overly (accent on overly) critical and trying to be as screen accurate as possible, I would say the chest plate lines around the arm are too linear and should be more rounded. The upper legs pieces should be a little more rounded also when reaching the top of the leg. The cod piece is a little more smooth and does not have any edges/bumps same for the leg, it does not show much of an edge.

 

Please don't get me wrong, you definitely have a first order stormtrooper armor there! No one would confuse that armor with anything else. I can only imagine the amount of work put already into it! This is awesome work and I would be proud to be caught wearing that armor!

Wow, amazing work. Looks so sharp!

Terrific work as always Mimic!

 

Are these pics of the latest kit of the earlier one? The cod still looks a little too stylised.

Hey, yes the whole thing is continually being worked and re-worked - trying to get it as close as I can :/ I actually fully moulded the ab plate and cast it before releasing I'd made a pretty big mistake on it. Which was upsetting lol

Hi, thank you so much! Yep all good observations... the cod piece to me is the biggest problem and I'll be re-doing that again and again until it's right. Thank you for the input I really wish I'd posted here a little sooner, please keep an eye out for future development. Anything that helps me makes it more accurate I'm all for!

Hey JAFO!!!

 

Thank you, it's still the same kit just being tweaked constantly.

 

The cod piece is ironically being a real pain on nuts lol!!! But it's been cut up an reshaped again so hopefully next time you see it it will be correct

 

I might PM you at some point about your belts JAFO, I'm starting to source the rest of my suit.

 

 

Thank you everyone, amazing response, I didn't expect that.

Nice work on this! Great craftsmanship for sure. I really like how sharp the details are. Will you be doing the helmet too? Got to get my popcorn ready for more updates! Looking forward to more progress! Thanks for sharing and be proud of your amazing work!

[Shanester[TK]]

Incredible work and talent.  I look forward to seeing it all complete. 

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

This looks great. Good to see more work into the First Order suit. I am looking forward to seeing more.

Great looking work. I can appreciate the amount of time and hard work that you have put into it , having started on a ANH TK suit of armor with only pics to go off of. It got really frustrating. I did the same thing. Tweaking and Retweaking and it still doesn't look quite right. But in the eyes of others they see only what it is supposed to be and don't really notice all the things that you would notice. I'm not that familiar with that armor , and I'll say it is definitely first order TK. Something to be proud of already.

it looks wonderful and i envy your skills

[Ilnino]

Really nice that bud.

There's an interest list for future kits over on theRPF forum. Search for MIMIC 

[FN-886]

Its a shame of the situation this armour now in. Looked promising but now the prop maker has disappeared again it seems everyone on the run is leaving and going elsewhere.  

[Harbinger[IPM]]

Yes, very limited options for FOTK armor unfortunately. I hope that changes sooner rather than later.

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Just when you thought Anovos was the worst. There are a couple vendors working on their versions, hopefully they'll be out soon.
