jamez1965 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Greetings! I've been lurking here and at the FISD doing research for a display lid build. I recently finished it, and I have to say it woulda turned out garbage had I not learned so much from the 'Troopers! I also spent a lot of time studying the real items on starwarshelmets.com, and wanted to build something in that spirit (a screen-used prop). This is a first-time effort, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, although if I get into actual trooping, I'd instead do something similar to what TD-4510 does in his weathering video. So, photos below and see you guys around. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vf2112 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Nice job think the brow a little high Are they decals ? if so you might want to remove and paint them on will look heaps better And you might need to rework the right ear big gap at the back But for first lid good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 jim, youve made a great job buddy! what you need to do now is purchase some armour and put the same skills you have used on your lid to a set of armour. then,join us out in the sand and enjoy a healthy sandy filled life! good luck if you decide to take the leap bro!!!!

Yeah I think my next build will not have such a high brow. But the details are indeed hand-painted - I'm not gonna skip the most fun part! I have a pretty steady hand. I did use a Trooperbay template for the tube stripes though. No way I'd have the patience for doing those without one. Here's a close-up: jim, youve made a great job buddy! what you need to do now is purchase some armour and put the same skills you have used on your lid to a set of armour. then,join us out in the sand and enjoy a healthy sandy filled life! good luck if you decide to take the leap bro!!!! Thanks! Time permitting I certainly will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasse Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi again guys! I'm not new, but have been away from my TD the last 6months+ as I found some droid parts....hehe Now I'm back and building again - at least for a while. Have a vague hope of finishing the armour in order for Free Comic Book Day in early May. Here me and my droid is appearing at a Star Wars panel at Stavanger Music & Film Library - first EVER appearance of a full scale astromech in Norway - yay! Still not finished, but getting there ever so slowly.

ryates Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hey troopers. I am currently a cadet in Garrison Carida and had grand plans to build a shiny, white TK . . . until . . . I attended an armor party with several TDs and decided to change direction. I had been admiring the weathering on TD builds and am excited for my first weathering project. This is my first SW-related costume project, but I've been working on an R2 unit for about 1.5 years and hope to have it finished in the coming months (you can never have too many Star Wars projects after all. Happy Trooping. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
