Allerg3n Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hey guys, I hit a brick wall with electronics for my DLT-19 build, so I've been casting about for something to do. Thought I'd try putting my bucket together over the weekend - here are the results: Front Left Side Right Side Rear I think it came together fairly well, but any feedback would be appreciated. I messed up both sets of ears trying to get them flush - the fronts pulled together pretty well, but I still have some gaps in the back. :-/ How huge of an issue is that for deployment/SWAT? Here's a link to the full file: http://imgur.com/QNtMyyw Is there an easy way to get replacement ears? I chewed through both of my sets and arrived at the version you see here. Thanks again for your help - gotta gather my supplies to start painting. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk5144 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 i think the ears look good take a closer picture of the teeth, but I think you could trim just a little more out of the teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The ears are though but I like as well the wonky look. So far so great bro😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Looking good, maybe trim the eyes and teeth a bit more out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerg3n Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks guys! I'll take some closeups of ears/teeth when I get home. Here's the full-size image for the front: http://i.imgur.com/FO3SiKp.jpg and for the rear (you can see the ear gaps a bit more clearly here): http://i.imgur.com/QNtMyyw.jpg Sorry for pic quality - my cell phone doesn't have a great camera.

tk5144 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 teeth look OK to me. you MIGHT take just a tiny bit... like half a millimeter more out of the teeth holes. eyes look fine to me dont worry about the ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Nice job!! The ears are ok me...and just as the others mentioned, trim the eyes and teeth a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerg3n Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi all, Thanks again for your advice last month. I've been working on the bucket some more and finally got to a place where I'm pretty comfortable with it - almost finished I think! Front: Right 3/4: Right: Left 3/4: Left: Closeup of eyes: Closeup of teeth (I tried filing just a bit more out of these as suggested previously): Ultimately I think I'd like to apply for SWAT as the Cantina Captain (orange pauldron). I did some research on Look Sir Droids and tried to count up the number of blue stripes on his tubes - I got to 12 on the right cheek and at least 11 on the left. Does anyone know if the number of stripes has been determined yet for that trooper? If I'm off it's no big deal - I'll just redo the stripes if/when I decide to apply for SWAT. The other thing I was wondering is which ear bump the black stripe should go on - from the high-res stills it looks like its not the front bump, but the one behind it. Still have little things to correct with this helmet - I'm going to get white paint today for the screws and I need to touch up the blue stripes since they're still ragged, but all in all I think it's come together fairly well. Thanks again for your help and feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
