Tunnel Rat Posted April 16, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimah Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted April 16, 2011 Share 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 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimah Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
