sinergy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 hey hey hey fellow troopers. i recently got admited into the 501st this past 4th of july with a TK commander suit i made, i just wanted to say thanks a lot to sticky monkey and to my mexican garrison and childhood friend gucabe for the support and ideas for this project. before i forget,id like to thank sticky for the helmet pointers and well, i used ur pics as refence ;p here are some pics. we did a real light coathing since we were gonna do some weathering, its looks lighter than it should because of the lighting tho.. these were taken the day before we finished the suit, its still missing the belly buttons and the lines on the boots, and i think thats all i personally liked this pic, we did a detchable thermal detonator so we could throw it....lol we might go back to a clip on tho some night pics. and well some working pics. of course you cant work on your suit without the proper beverage.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 First off - you did an really good job on the FX build for your kit. Even w/o paint it would be nice - fits you well and it's obvious you put a lot of attention to the details. With paint - even better. If you decide to go EIB there are a few teaks to do (and the helmet), but this can be done anytime in the future. For now enjoy the costume - it's a good achievement. And...............welcome to the 501st & FISD. * * I also updated your membership here Quote
synaptyx Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Well done Leonel, looking good! Next stop EIB? Quote
sinergy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Posted July 6, 2009 wow i didnt think i would get invited to try for the EIB, im really glad you guys are liking it, its still missing the weathering, and yeah i've been trying to get my hands on another helmet because this one is too big, but hey whatever works.. its taken us like 4 months to put together the suit without the painting since its all fiberglass, the painting took us roughly 4 or 5 hours, we're currently working on a voicechanger with some static burst, and well you're always tweaking things lol, thanks again daetrin and synaptyx, i'll be applying for the EIB soon Quote
Stickmonkey Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Congratulations on that. It looks great, there. I'm glad I could be of some help, and sorry we didn't have the proper frame of mind for the CRL, or I think you could have hit EIB on your first shot (darn unpainted in game butt plate)...aside from the helmet... ha whatever. You should be proud its a fine set of armor. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Is this painted correctly for 501st clearance a quick yes or no please? Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Welcome to the forum and to the Legion Leonel. Great looking suit. Quote
sinergy Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 Is this painted correctly for 501st clearance a quick yes or no please? I think it is, i got into the 501st 4 days after i sent the application Quote
bluehickey Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Congratulations, your armor looks great and fits great. Great job! Quote
Stickmonkey Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Is this painted correctly for 501st clearance a quick yes or no please? Yes. But maybe not for TKC EIB standards. It is exactly as mine was painted and I was accepted with no changes. Quote
sinergy Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 i'll just open a TKC EIB thread when i start working on it , that way people wont get so confused about this whole thing Quote
