looking better than I imagined mate!
Great Work! I really wanna see this one when youre done with it!
thanks for the comments guys
i hope once i dye the cuberbund grey ,it will look a little slimmer. i have to get the pouches looking right too. the cumberbund is the prototype. lots of room for improvement.
Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished armor!
here is the start of the camo.

Oh I'm liking it alot bro!! I'm thinking of doing a 1/6 scale Kashyyk Trooper by modding a Biker Scout. It wouldn't be 100% accurate but close enough for display I think. It's my way of getting a Kashyyk fix until I can get a set. LOL! Anyway, I'll be watching as usual but looking out for paint pics . ;)
Nice camo job!
thanks for the comments.
here is the finished paint. i still have to do a little work on the greebs.

mmmm tasty
does ur wife know abt the shoes and armour on the bed now?
Nate
LOL! Yeah, mine would kill me!
Looking awesome bro!!!!! Really great!
if you have followed my tutoral thread on bsn then you watched me build this. anyhoo here is me in the armor. what a mess!!! still alot of adjustment needs to be done to get this troooper trooping!!!!!! :)
i still need my belt and buckle. the 2 side pouches. i need to repaint my helmet so it matches the new base coat of the armor. get the correct pockets done on the pants, and get an acurate cumberbund. it needs to be all grey not brown and grey. these are just what i noticed! LOL!! but i am getting there. i know angelo and the one or 2 other KST's are getting lonely. so i am trying to get this done for dragon con in september.
here is the blackmail pics!! let me know what you think..............good or bad.

Outstanding!!!!!! I've been looking for good KST boots this morning in prep for my own costume. Seeing you in your gear just makes me want a set of my own even more!!!!!
thanks. i have room for improvement but it is getting there.
boots are tuff on this costume, because the best ones are kennethcole pit crew and the gbx's. which is hard to find due to that fact that jangos,GM's and KST's wear the same boot.
Tell me about it!!!! I'm having a hard time here! I've found some that aren't bad but are still lacking ya know?? I don't want to settle for "that'll do" if I can help it.
i was lucky. i found my gbx's here on tdh, a month ago there was 3 pair for sale on ebay.
just be patient and you will find a pair.
Yeah, not always easy for me. LOL! I did spot a nice pair of Sketchers that I thought were close but they were only a size7.
Anyway, I'll keep looking, keep up the awesome work on your kit Tom!
Out standing! This suit is amazing!
Are you going to match the armor camo to the helmet?
no i am going to repaint the helmet, please read the discription in the post.
the helmet is way too green. the armor color is more accurate to the screen used stuff.
thanks for the comments, guys.
nice going mate
looking good there. minor detailing left I woud say
colour matching, new pouches to fit, belt ..... almost ...
loverly to see this from concept to wip to this near complete state man.
Nate
Very, very nice!! Inspiring to see someone finally get this costume done closer to what's seen in the movie.
Man, that is looking so nice!! Awesome work bro!
Making me want my own!
thanks , guys
i am currently resculpting the face of the helmet to make it more screen accurate. i am trying to capture the gree scene look. my old helmet looks like the battle scene helmets and it was my first helmet sculpt so there was room for improvment.
the MB version 1.5 helmet
I can't wait to see it. Show alot of progress pics I learned alot first time through.

anywhoo. i took a reject helmet casting and started cutting away at it to make it look more like the gree scene helmet instead of the battle scene helmet. the first helmet was my first sculpt so there was room for improvement.
i made the face and helmet about a half inch taller. i widen the lens hole and norrowed the snout. i am trying to get this as close as possible to the gree scene KST. also i am trying to improve the vision of the person wearing it.
here is some size comparisions with my old helmet and pghfett's helmet.

i still hafve a along way to go , but this sculpt is going pretty quickly.

NICE! I see the differences, as subtle as they first appear. I think I said it before but your dedication to this lid and the armor is inspiring!
Way impressive for a One-eyed-bama-boy. You really have a touch Tom. I am looking forward to starting on my lid soon!
here are some update shots, the lens hole is driving me nuts along with the ear vents. but it is coming slowly but surely.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...tom/004-56.jpg
here is the helmet thus far. i glued the viser in place so i can mold the helmet and viser as one piece. that means not having to go through with the viser attachment and should help with distortion of the viser in the mold. i am trying ot make this helmet build friendly as possible.
the helmet is getting there i hope to be done soon. mainly at this stage i am trying to fix symetry issuses. LOL

thanks
here is some update shots. pretty much done except the cleaning it up and getting it ready to mold. i am trying to mold it with most of the greebs on so it will cut down on build time.

wow Tom, the helmet is getting better and better!!! keep up the good work!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh man, Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leo
Nice work there, Tom!
Yep! Nice work bro! ;)
awesome work bro! your makin me wanna sculpt some of this stuff! :cheers
thanks ,guys. it is not perfect but i think the helmet is much improved over the first version.
voorhees, that is how i started. saw others work and thought that might look like fun. sculpting your own stuff, is very rewarding and can be very fustrating at the same time, but i love doing it.
SUCCESS!!!!! i made the mold over the last three days and i am getting some decent pulls. the helmet and the viser is one piece. it is a little heavier than the first helmet. but no more having to fool with visers and making them fit!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA i am a a happy camper. :)

Snap. Great job.
wow Mr.Bungle this is an amazing Kashyyyk trooper!! congratulations!!:thumbsup
Time to go to Kashyyyk or Endor. LOL! Just make sure you don't wind up in the Dune Sea; that is where you will stick out like a sore thumb. Great looking armor vod.
sick man
thats all I am gonna say
sick
You did a fantastic job. Its' been amazing to watch you build this! Awesome dude!
Awesome!
You make me sick............ :lol
Whats next on your things to do list????
thanks for the comments guys.
evo, don't start with me, your work makes me sick with envy of your skill level. your stuff is awesome. as far as what is next i am going to get back to work on my animated yoda sculpt.
WOAH! Sick is the word! That's awesome Tom!!
Looking forward to seeing more of your Yoda sculpt too! Has he gave up smoking yet? LOL!
Freakin awesome!
Are some of the pouches crooked? Sorry if that sounds mean, I was just wondering as it's either my eyes, or if you attached them with velcro or something, they're just leaning. It looks great though buddy.
yeah, they are attached by velcro and are a pain to keep perfectly straight. they move and twist with the cumberbund and if you bump one at the bottom they twist a little bit.
here is a video of me in the armor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LNqpHUuc6s
The vid really sets it orr mate. It is like watching a cut scene of a KT in someone's back yard. :) Very cool armor bro, I'm very envious!
Wanna trade for some mando armor LOL! JK.....out of all the clone troopers in the movies I enjoy the Kashyyk Trooper the most. Maybe someday I'll have a KT built up. But great job vod....very original!
Spectacular Job. I can't wait til I can afford the darn thing.
That is simply amazing, wish I had a set like that!
thanks, guys.
Hey Tom, GREAT VID!!! What would someone have to invest for a completed tume like in the vid?
i figured around a 1000- 1400 to do the costume right. that is buying the kits and all the soft parts , getting them altered and so forth.
i have more in my fett. i think around 2 k in my fett.
Yup, I have around 3k in my Fett and $250 in my Biker Scout.Quote:

It was his first auction with a VERY bad description and worse photo. I got LUCKY!!! (its been two months and I am still doing a happy dance) LadySewForUs is making me accurate flight suit and cumberbun and I will get a MonCal lid then I am finished and ready to start the KT.Quote:
