Try to get a hold of the three piece button strip and start a pack build!

That is the next step.

 

And thank you all for the comments

Looking nice. I can't tell on my phone but is it weathered?
 

Yes it is. The photos dont show it as it really is. Maybe light problems. Or the quality of the camera. I dont know. 

 

Also, I might have missed it, but why the conversion?

It is a long story. But it all started with the comment of my 6-year-old daughter: Dad, why your armor is not shown in the movies?

Still you need some adjustments. But for basic approval, I think I'm ready.

So close.

Trooperbay stuff arrived today.

 

And more progress.

 

Yes I know, 3 buttons is better. 

[TX to TD]

Ok, all armor is white now. 

I did not take many photos. The process was the same, first primer, then paint.

 

Primer, paint, and now weathering,

 

More updates soon

 

[TX to TD]

Ok here is the armor, and just to clarify, I go for basic approval.

Here we go!!

Paint testing.

 

More updates soon.

Yes, I'll post results.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sell the armor was always the first option. But I have not been lucky with that. Rogue One is close and there is no more time to wait. So I decided to do the conversion.

I do not see the painting process complicated. But I have doubt, gloss or matte?

[TX to TD]

Hello everyone!

I am planning to convert my TX ATA armor (ABS) to TD.  Of course in addition to the basic modifications (buttoms, diamond plate, etc) I need to paint white the whole armor.

I do not know what paint to use, glossy white or matte white?

 

Thanks for the help.
