KananJarrusDressedAsATK Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 (edited) I know it's dated and I'm avoiding the "where do I buy the armor thread." Is it even possible to build an animated Rebels-style TK anymore? I'm an approved Kanan in the RL (also a 501st member as a Jawa and a Narkina 5 prisoner) and I'm looking to "improve" a Rebels TK helmet to try to get formally approved as part of the Kanan season 1/2 costume. It's to replace the attached version which is a non-approvable black series helmet that I painted consistent with the Rebels episode "The Call." Thank you for any insights!

Nairy[Staff] Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Hello and welcome to FISD! It's an awesome idea you've got going on here! As for the Rebels TK helmet, I think WTF: Walt's Trooper Factory is one of the vendors, I've seen some Rebels Tie pilot helmets from there and some TKs before! 1 Quote
TheRascalKing[TK] Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Yep, Rebels Stormtroopers are still around and approvable. I believe Walt of WTF ended up with the molds and even recently offered a run of kits! Look him up on Facebook if you need a helmet. https://www.facebook.com/groups/waltstrooperfactory/ 1 Quote
Tilheyra[IPM] Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 I'll echo what the others have said and note Walt's Trooper Factory is indeed a vendor for Rebels TK kits (I'm not familiar with other vendors for this specific kit). 1 Quote

KananJarrusDressedAsATK Posted February 27 Author Report Posted February 27 Thank you all for the quick response. I know it’s an unconventional request but you all have helped me a ton. I was hitting my head against a wall since everything I found was from like 2017. 2 Quote

That's great to hear, we're all glad that we can be of service! Do you have everything you need or is there something else we can look up for you? Quote
MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 Would love to see Kanan in a TK! Can you get Ezra involved too?! 2 Quote
KananJarrusDressedAsATK Posted June 12 Author Report Posted June 12 Thank you all! Ok quick update, WTF helmet is here and has been cleaned up and primed. Starting with paint tomorrow. Probably 100% craft paints as the only way to avoid 90 degree heat is to spray paint at 4am (not ashamed to admit I’ve done this neighbors already know I’m crazy but I’m tired folks). I’m following the 501st CRL as closely as possible. Not sure on two things. 1. The “traps” on the back of the helmet look painted/drawn on in all my reference images. Is that all I do? 2. The mic tips look different from the standard tk. If anything they seem simpler. I was going to throw something together in Tinkercad and print them myself but perhaps there is already an STL? Ideally this whole thing is done by the weekend. I painted the last one in a couple of hours so it seems plausible. Thank you again! 2 Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 Traps, tears, tube stripes are all painted on, references here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43220-rebels-stormtrooper-reference-pics/ Hovi's are very simple compared to regular TK Don't forget to post your build in the Rebels Stormtrooper build area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/198-rebels-tk-build-threads/ Quote

I’m reluctant to post this in the rebels tk build thread as it isn’t a rebels tk build, it’s just the helmet. I’m really appreciative of y’all’s help with this special project. 1 Quote

Even just the helmet, and even with the fact it's going to be painted up, I'd still go with that forum. It's the closest we have and it might benefit others who want to do a Rebels build. Quote
