Treganna Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi everyone. I joined here years ago, but only just catching up with this build since lockdown. I was hoping to have the costume ready for trooping last year, but a broken wrist slowed me down! My armour is a heavily adapted Jimmi Tripon set with a Nico Henderson helmet and lots of Paul Prentice extra parts and rigging equipment, and lots of other detail parts from many sources! Just a couple of pictures here to show what I had to start with in 2016: ST work 01 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr ST helmet by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr More pictures to follow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treganna Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Thank you! I'm actually pretty far into the build and at the painting stage now, and I've since replaced the Jimmi helmet with a Nico Henderson one. More pictures will follow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treganna Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Painting progress. More Molotow masking marking usage. I've taken reference pictures of ALL the armour parts, which I forgot to do for the helmet. Finding the masking chips there was an interesting voyage of discovery! paintchipref 03 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr paintchipref 05 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr paintchipref 04 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr painttop 01 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr painttop 02 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr Chip removal begins- chipreveal 02 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr chipreveal 01 by Steve Purbrick, on Flickr 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treganna Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 9 hours ago, Minimo said: Nice work!!! Thank you! Trying not to overdo the chipping. I'll flatten out and weather the stripes with some 600-grit once the paint has cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 It's easy to overdo the chipping. My first go around made my hand plate look like a chocolate chip cookie. Nice work on keeping it toned down. I did some light passes with 80 grit on a few places to build up the damage. Gives some nice texture.Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treganna Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 I've been looking carefully at the SU pictures, especially the grunts. Strangely, seeing the on-set pictures coming out of the Andor Blackpool shoot recently, you can tell which are the new bits of armour, and which aren't!
