the new MB kashyyyk scout trooper build thread

no real update, just converting all the armor over for vactable plugs. almost finished with my vactable.
i hope to start producing armor by the end of april!!!!!!!!

yay for me!!!!!

i will post pics after i have all the armor plugs done.

i need to know what you guys think about what to form them out of.
hips
abs

.090
or
.125 on the thickness of the plastic.

my vote is hips , but you will have to lightly sand it before you paint and you get better detail, abs you do not.

I say go for HIPS if that gets you better details/sharper pulls! And make it as sturdy as possible without loosing the details:)

Looking awesome and really tempting.... :)
 
thanks for the comments

here is where i am now. still working on the transition from armor to armor plugs for vacforming. not to much more to go really. i have to get my vactable finished. then it will all be down hill to getting to the finished costume.

sorry about the bad pics.

i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Very nice work man. I've been watching it all along. This is one of my favorite clones! I think I'm probably too big to get a set if you produce them (6'06" 270-ish) unless you did an oversized run! But, I'd certainly be interested in at least a helmet!

here is the back plate and tank. the plan is to cut out the tank grove i left in the back plate then take the tank and slide the tank through the plate. then glue and bondo it together and sand. i am also teying to get it where you just set the tank greeb in the pocket i am sculpting into the top of the tank.

thanks, man. just rying to get it to the point where i can do the prototype and see if i have to make any corrections to the moulds.
all the while trying to get my seamstress off her butt to finish my under suit and trying to get the gloves made too.
 
hey guys. thanks for the concern rhyme.

everything is good. the armor is finished for the most part. i am finishing the vac table, i hit a couple of snags on that but i am still on target. waiting on parts for the vactable more than anything. i am making the molds for the belt and some of the other straps. i have to redo the bicep strap. the first one was to thin. i hope to have prototype pulls and a prototype costume done by the end of the month and being pretty close to being ready to start making the KS kits.
:cheers
