Guest TK-2416 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 A little update Trimed all the parts today - again took only around 2 hours or so.. We did a test fitting aswell.. We need to do something about the legs, but will buy some shoes first.. Will sand and glue the arm pieces and finish the bucket during the week.. And one together with Ahsoka in progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 **** nice work, looks like he will have some room for growing in that armor Love the Ahsoka headpiece you make it look so easy to do, I think I will give it a try for my daughter as well, when I come back to Denmark Still 14 days left in sunny Sharm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to try the clone armor in minor scale before jumping on the large scale version have fun in the sun! We sure could need some here in cold and dark Denmark!! Still 14 days left in sunny Sharm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TK-2416 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 A small update... Of course I decided to run two costumes at the same time.. and the crap about large scale production making it easier... ha ha ha.. Any way.. I am working on the Rex and Ahsoka... The Rex status: - All bits glued and bondo'ed - Half of the armor has been spray painted.. - Boots made - Spandex suit on its way from China - Webbing made (the same as for TK/TDs just smaller) - Handarmor in place - Helmet trimmed and glued - Leather Pauldron - Leather CW Belt To come: Final paint on remaining armo, Helmet bondo and paint, Rex weathering, Kama (black kilt)... Then we are all set! Ahsoka (Bob's Ahsoka has been the inspiration!): - gauntlets (US imported Craft Foam 6mm), boots, belt, most of the soft parts.. Head piece still missing (awaiting some special modelling clay from UK).. Some pics (tksmiley) : Still a looong way! But funny project!

Rolf Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Mr. Magic man strikes again. I remember when i sold you a MH/SB kit, and there was a few parts missing. Then two days later, the dude have done them him self. Whit out a vac or nothing. Just plastic parts, and skills. **** nice work bro, i try to get my parents to do something for me back then too. I remember my mom, sew me a Luke sky walker ranch shirt. We also made, a white cloths storm trooper body armor. Whit the half halloween mask on, the body parts was just painted on whit black paint. I´m so sad i don´t have a picture of it. Cheers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Good stuff you got there D. Really love the picture where your son is all dressed up and your daughter is standing next to him making funny faces. They will look perfect when they are finished... My son is still thinking if he will buy a clone too, because he is the newschool SW fan( but still loves the old saga)compared to his dad who is Oldskool 4 real.. Again, great work!!

My son loves the new movies to and think the clones are the coolest.. well what does he know I think we will have to accept that the new generation will be more into the CW toons.. Would be great to see another mini clone in Nordic Garrison or even better a mini TD!! I think that TM is able to provide a small TM - Would love to get one for William!
