Tunnel Rat Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Looking good I may have my bucket 98% done by this weekend! Waiting to locate some green mirror tint, I am using lexan for my lens.
Jimah Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 thanks all... just a couple of update pics: Have got it ready to go. Plan to add some weathering to it (black & tan/brown spray paint misted over certain areas), as well as borrowing the idea of fake grass in strategic spots (I think that is an awesome effect!)... But seems to have met all the points on the CRL. Here's hoping I get to be Oz's first CB real soon! (Does that make me the first CB in the Southern Hemisphere?) ps: Big thanks to all for the advice and support on this journey, and especially a huge "We're not worthy!" Wayne's World style to Mr B for an absolutely awesome kit!
Grumpy Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Looks FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!! Amazing job! And in a quick amount of time!! You probably will be the first CB "Down under." And you could put the claim on The "first CB" in your country! (And for that matter, your own continent!! ) Now you'll have to troop "up top" with us sometime..... Looking good, trooper!!
Jimah Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks all - such a fun build I had trouble putting it down once I got started on the armour. Got to test it out in it's natural environment today. Now you see him: ... now you don't: My GML has given approval and has now got the final pics to upload to 501st. So Oz's KST is done & dusted... And we have 12 approved KSTs on 501st website! Wahoo!
mrbungle Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 congrats, man!!! i am glad you had fun putting it together and are enjoying the suit. you did a real nice job putting it together!!!
darren1970 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Ah, ha...... I told you that you'd finish before me James Nice work mate, very nice.
Jimah Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks again all. Darren, I put the pedal to the metal on this one, sorry Angelo, had a lot of fun getting the pics... until a couple of locals turned up to walk their dog and just stared in bemusement... don't think they were fans The missus admitted she thought the camo job was 'meh' until she saw me blend in to the trees... won her over when I did. Now time to go get me some wookie-pelt underwear
Grumpy Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Congrats! #12 From henceforth, you shall be known as "Number 12." Aw, cool!!! We now have our "DIRTY DOZEN!" Hidden pic looks great. Wookiee underwear? Hey buddy, that's a little too much information.
Jimah Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 What can I say... Gotta keep the ewoks warm somehow... That's TMI alright
LENOX61 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 CONGRATZ!!!!!!......well done. I like the "Dirty Dozen" idea..........or how about..........The Fighting 41st?
Jimah Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks Kevin I looked @ 501st costume listings today and thought I'll have to build a clone pilot next... now that we have jumped ahead of them in approved costumes
