Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set

Looking forward to when its my turn :)

However i noticed something on this image:



The right leg armor seems pretty loose or too big. Is there a way to tighten it a bit if its too large?

Yes, you can make a cut in the back or two cuts, front and back then trim as needed then rejoin and blend. It's always easier to trim than to add and that's why i've stuck with the thigh size. Also, my main reference point when i sculpted the armor was how it fit on Finn as those were the only references i had back then. In that pic, my gaskets have separated from the top of the thigh. I should have put the velcro closer to the knee opening. That being said, i am going to start experimenting with altering the width of the thighs a bit and maybe offering a thin and thick option, as with the forearms.

Ah, good to know. Hoping for a WIP or maybe even a tutorial on how to put everything together from someon who already got this wonderful armor.

If you could please add me to the waiting list for FOTK armor only. Thanks!
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

Can I be added to the list for the v3 Helmet Only- Finished w/ bubble lenses added on?

I do have a pdf instructions i could email you. They are a bit outdated as they are for the older armor but it's basically the same rigging/set-up.

Yes, please :)

I think it would be a great idea to add the file to your first post, as other people may find it helpful too.

Also i'd like to ask, which belt are you using? It's not included with the armor, is it :)
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

Couple questions, first are we painting these ourselves or do they come ready to wear or is a little nitty-gritty needed to get the job done? Second one is, does this armor come with the hand plates or no?

Hi! You will be trimming, rigging, and painting this yourselves. Yes, the armor comes with hand plates... :)

Hi Jim

The "moustache" or nose part (circled in the below pic), looks too pointy on the upper curve. Will this be fixed on the helmets you ship as it needs to be a smooth curve rather than going to a point?

Hmmm, I also agree and would rather a more accurate rounded nose bottom. Is that nose piece a separate piece or fixed? It would be easier to correct if it was a separate piece... Thanks.

Hahaha. It's very easy to "correct", guys. You can even just sand it off with no bondo. :) I assure you that it has the correct curve at the top and the "point" is an optical illusion because of the tiny tiny divet that you can sand off in two minutes or even keep if you can't be bothered. You'll be wet sanding the whole helmet for prep anyway. :) It's there because recasters are lazy and will recast it as is. Making me able to tell that's mine at a glance. It's a very subtle signature.
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

I already have 2 sets of the Feb run kits on hand and another 5 to be picked up next tuesday. :) Casting is going like clock work so, for those of you in this run, if you want your sets right away, just pay your 40% DP and we can get right to casting em!

Final 4 sets of the January run all packed up and ready to ship anytime. :) Thanks guys and girls!

Jim

Screw it, put me on the list for one of your Phasma's (no helmet needed). I already play dress-up as Finn, may as well get my GF in on the fun.
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

Please put me on the waiting list for Fotk armor and helmet, with the bubble lens upgrade.

P.S. Do you have any plans to mold/cast First Order flametrooper or snowtrooper armor/helmet sets?
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

Hi folks! I'll off visiting the wife this weekend. I may not be able to reply on the dot til tuesday. But casting is ongoing and in fact i've already shipped out 2 kits of the Feb run. 1st half of feb run will be done by next week.
 
Re: Jimmiroquai's TFA Stormtrooper Armor Set: JAN 2016 RUN OPEN

For those of you still on the feb run but haven't paid their downpayments, i encourage you to do so sooner rather than later so we can continue casting. :) Deadline has to be Friday next week before i need to pass your slot on to those on the waiting list. :) Thanks!
