TK to TD Sergeant


Recommended Posts

Hello I'm TK11006 and I've decided to ditch the look of a shiney TK and dirty up my armor and become a Sand trooper!!!
 
Here is my armor at the moment waiting on my pauldron, knee plate, ammo pouches, and 3 ab button plate to arrive then the modding will begin d46f119b84513d9e971094339e178b52.jpg9ce46d160bab2c5b9598862c28902b71.jpg

So today I found out I wouldn't be able to make it to a local troop this coming Saturday, I then decided what a great chance to get started on my Sand Trooper Sergeant build!!

 

I started with removing shoulder bridges, ab button plates, knee plates, and drop boxes.00826fae4bb1a8f7e28459d18c599893.jpg56a80e0136ed9d41bd3acf950f5d8267.jpg6257618672a6f88feadaf48cb0295b6c.jpg8e5388fb5f11ae041e905095fa4c9f17.jpg

 

I also started weathering a few parts of my armor with acrylic what do you guys think this is about only two different colors I believe..burnt umber and a color called unbleached titanium it's a sand color.This is only with two passes. Please let me know what you guys think so far?

Hi and welcome to the dirtpit:salute:

I already like it! If some of the areas in between the dirt are still too white and shiny, give it a wash with a watered down mixture of the earth colour.

Hooray, another shiny sees sense :woot:
welcome to the sandy side bro and good luck with the build/re-build
Thanks guys! Yeah after seeing pictures after troops and at events I was like man TKs are kind of boring and I wanted something that sticks out alittle more. Also there aren't that many Sandy's in my area (Colorado). I've always liked either tantive 5 boarding party TKs or the sand troopers never really cared for the stormtroopers in the other two OT movies

Here is both arms and chest with alittle more weathering I used a Mix of unbleached titanium (lighttancolor) and yellow ocre and got this look still not sure if I like it what do you guys think???d12de9866fb1540d96e03e73edffa932.jpg09af25ed4f695bbad1cd9c46a897eab8.jpg6be4acf5305b1d34bef00f51382303ec.jpgd34a396a01d12783263f6d77a5f0caf5.jpg

Added alittle more to part of the chest and some on the pauldron.. just taking my time but I also don't want the weathering to extreme.

idk if it's me but when I initially used the burnt umber it's came out too dark and reminded me of mud so I haven't gone back to that color quite yet I've been sticking with a mix of primarily unbleached titanium(sand like color), yellow ocre, and a little bit of burnt umber and I feel the color is close to desert looking grime and caked up sand1d4ec766e8e22f8b363bef113c78f06e.jpg060ca9c41ce7d939502e28f0c2e6f86e.jpg

Weathering is off to a great start.  I like the color as it has that "sand" look to it.

 

My opinion, and this is just me, is that the weathering should be heavier on the boots/legs and lighter on the way up.  The chest/arms won't have as much direct contact with sand as the legs and boots.  You might consider removing just a little but it's looking good.

Hey thanks I was thinking the same. The good thing about acrylics is I can remove it at any time so I've been removing little by little but I did finish the legs today so let me know what you think.f54b820e5b51bf6763a5b6e6d71aa06f.jpg0f9e689b1c0df60b2d6b03de422f8fd9.jpgacea73a568a60ee269f64e5ff7258c3c.jpg

I think it looks good and natural, well done. 

But keep in mind that the small Spanish pouches should be hanging from the belt (below the belt) , not directly be attached to it.

What's a good way to attach them?

Here´s a behind the screen shot of said trooper in which you can see that the pouch is somehow attached hanging from the belt:

I have used snaps, I cut the belt open on the inside, attached the two snaps and closed it using E6000.

I originally had a D-ring to hold the pouch to a loop with the snaps but the ring came off while trooping and a friend gave me a zip-tie to attach it again... and as it holds well enough, I stuck with it.

Thanks alot I took your idea of using the zip ties and it worked out great! I used black elastic strips and sewed a loop for the zip tie to go thru and tie to the leather loop on the pouch, then I super glued the other end of the elastic to the inside of the belt :)c417af5c1a0984915b12e193d79e9bf3.jpgd714a7ee8b072bb96c6b9cc022a8b1ff.jpg966815306c83372b62bc514d13464c1d.jpgebfff24886200683a906b40d3f3b4383.jpg

Today I removed my decals on the helmet and hand painted all the gray areas on the helmet and after that was complete I weathered the helmet:)

 

The only parts I am waiting on is my diamond knee plate and ab buttons from ata and then I will submit my pictures to my GML for basic approval since I don't have a weapon or pack yet:(
