Republic Commando - TZA Armor

[ligonap]

I will start a 2nd run of ten helmets.
For more information see the trade channel ( http://www.therpf.com/f13/rc-helmet-kit-hero-version-133481 ).

Today it's back on with the RC armor. The legs are almost ready to paint.

Thighs:

Knees:

Lower legs:

Lower leg with knee:

The knees are embedded like in the game.

After ages, off it goes again. The cup and butt plate are ready to paint.
In the tactical belt left and right are two sets of switches to activate the visor, spot light, vibroblade and the ID number.

I joined both pieces together to putting on it like pants.

I cut 1" strip off the center of the butt plate.

I decided to make a new handguard. The old TZA version is too big for me.

I started with the game data:

The molds were built from MDF.

Vacuum formed with 3mm ABS:

After cutting out, I received:

The blade of the left hand are composed by blue, black and colorless acrylic glass:

Two blue bright LEDs illuminate only the central blue part, like in the reference pic:

The finished handguard consists of three main components:

Slide, blade and housing (handguard main part and cover).

My interpretation looks like this:

My version is even slightly smaller than the PA-version.
Comparison of the lengths: PA 98mm, TZA 110mm, meine 95mm

Very cool! I've been wondering why no one has done and extending blade yet.

Ligoap, You will have an original set of armor when you finish re-designing everything. Great work. You are amazing.

After a long time, the painting of my boss helmet is done.
All colors and are 2K-Polyurethane-acrylic mat paints.

I started with a 2K-Platic-Primer:

Inside graphite black (RAL 9011):

Outside traffic white (RAL 9016):

Red orange (RAL 2001) with real scraps:

Back of the helmet basalt grey (RAL 7012) and black grey (RAL 7021):

Weathering with chocolate brown (RAL 8017) and via air brush black grey (RAL 7021):

I have tried to paint like the game template.

Ja, jetzt.

My Boss Helmet is finally done.

About one year ago I had already developed the visor light.
Perhaps still one or the other remembers.

This week I finally got the radio-control module from Hong Kong and
I could finsh the helmet.

Here are a few helmet inner views:

(with an autograph from Boss personally )

In the helmet I have installed:
- my new VoiceAmp 3.0 with 2 Watt,
- visor light with 84 LEDs and wipe effect,
- super bright LED for the side light,
- RC module for the external control of all three components in the helmet.

The visor is like a sandwich of two visors.
84 LEDs between two visors layers illuminate the visor.

The Microphone has a cardioid geometry. The two loud speakers are not fixed to the helmet, so
the helmet itself does not become a speaker and to avoid a too early feedback.

This helmet is amazing! A masterpiece!

You do one to sell? I would buy it!

 

[Aiden26]

Would it be possible to buy just the Helmet? If so how much is a raw cast?

150 EUR for a raw cast in smooth-cast 300 (without shipping & packing).
