tk0158 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 What I've been smiling about since yesterday : The TE2 armor is beautiful! I now see what all the hubbub is about! And my sincerest thanks to TE2 for his workmanship, generosity, and friendship. Top notch!! The bucket is to replace my FX TK helmet. I have another TE2 bucket coming to be used with this armor in a TD configuration. So say a few prayers for me as I begin this journey. My wife looked at it and just couldn't grasp the notion of why this is more meaningful to me than my FX. Nevertheless, I love her for letting me have it. Here's to the women in our lives that put up with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD2802 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 A pilgrimage to the mancave is a must next time you're in the islands. It is the fount of armor bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk0158 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 It has taken me long enough, but I finished trimming, sanding, and gluing. I wanted to test-fit the armor, so I used duct tape to assemble it (ok, actually I was just eager to see it all together ). Next step, Krylon Fusion to make it nice and shiny. It'll almost be a shame to get it dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 You're a great size and it's going to look s-hot when done. Heck, looks better than quite a few 501st as-is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk0158 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks, guys! I'm so used to seeing myself in FX armor that when I turned and saw my reflection in a window...well, some expletives flew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk0158 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 It's been a while since I last posted progress, but since then I painted the armor, applied a snap system, sewn the canvas belt and shoulder straps, and painted the bucket details. Tube stripes were a challenge, and I had to re-do the right-side , but it was well worth it. Last look before this bad boy gets DIRTY.
