Runnriottt Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 Well I am purty happy with it now. Ill show some pics... I went for an "organic" feel... In otherwords, controled sloppyness. Painted on the black first then the grey. Great Tip i picked up from 4510's builds... Man you rock. As soon as I can procure some decals though, Ill change over. I need to pad and add lenses. Still finding time to do anything any more is hard... I am kinda busy at school and having kids is a full time job. I could spare about 30 min to paint this back up last night though. I need to get out to my shop and engrave, make tab snaps and start on the build of the armor. SHeesh. Then to Tokyo again... I aint complaining though... Life is great! Oh yea... Sex bolts are great. 2 make installing the Knee plate a breeze! I might mod my lid for these to hold lenses... Quote
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Looks great Nathan! I know it's a pain in the *ss to paint it, mine didn't go to plan either, lol. I stuck with it though. I just need to re-do the paint on my ears. p.s I like your new looking Vader display Quote
Runnriottt Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 Yea... Hes my stunt double... I need to bulk him up in places. Hes on a diet to much! Quote
Runnriottt Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 All parts are glued... Test fit and well... Hit a wall. I just dont like the feel wearing it. So, In route to a new home, and I will be getting an FX to replace it. I just cant get past the forearms, shins and biceps. The bells ride on me a little too. I could tweek it, make it fit, but that would ruin the armor as it should be. I am just not cut out for TE2 armor. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I'm scared about that as well. When I get a screen accurate suit I hope I don't have this problem. Good luck with your sale Nathan. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I'm scared about that as well. When I get a screen accurate suit I hope I don't have this problem. Good luck with your sale Nathan. I don't think you will. It's just a matter of preference. CMANavy is bigger than either of you and got a TE suit to look good on him. I'm sorry to hear you're going back to FX - I'd have thought RT for sure if you wanted ABS. But if you want easy, that's FX in a box. Quote
Heatshock[501st] Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 pending sales details - I should be coming to a deal with Nathan. dont worry guys - I will give this suit a home it deserves Like to see a man with strong opinions Nathan (I noticed ur views re: SC vs MC on TBs too) only thing to say guys - is I want to gotighty whitey TK with the suit - hope every1 isnt to dissapointed Nate Quote
