Thank you. I must have blind because I read the crl a few times. My apologies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The reference pictures depict the armour as being more matte then gloss. Is that the case? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent thank you. I'm assuming that the Red Cross red won't be acceptable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm looking at the Various novas again and the medic caught my eye. The CRL says it is a light red, depending what screen I'm using the red looks anywhere from red to pink. I'm not anti pink I just want to paint my armour that way. Anyone have a swatch colour or specific colour spray that we can use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes, it looks like the Visor is cut at an angle. I will save that step for last

Hasbro would be the easiest but I think I'll try this one

Alright I may give this guy a go. Now because weapons are not mandatory with the 501st does that mean I would just need holsters? Not saying I would build the blasters but just asking. Here is a list of Items needed, please help with feed back are things I missed 1. Gloss black scout armor 2. Ab pouches 3. Cod piece (original) 4. forearms (original) 5. Shin/knee armor (original) 6. hip holsters and belt rings 7. boot armor 8. flight suit (black) 9. looks like a neck seal, tk style, could be wrong though Please add anything I missed

Makes sense about using the action figure. So going off of the the drawing then, does he have thigh armor or are those just his pants. I agree with you Darth Emphatic about the shins, Vader stuff is no good.

You guys think that the Vader shins could be used for the action figure version of the storm commando? Remove the bumps and add a backing and they look almost the same in my opinion

Excellent build thread, and congratulations!

Thanks guys, it was almost a year to the day that I started this project. So it took a long time but I finally have the TX designation

I'm a pretty happy Nova right now

congratulations

Well I fixed up all that needed to be fixed (I'm hoping) and resubmitted my pics for approval, now to see what happens. (changed the earlier pics to current Nova)

the shoulder bells remind be of RC shoulder bells. Obviously not exactly the same...

IN the WEG pics it almost looks like he's got thigh armor. In the WWII sort of looking one, the arc and cut of the chest/shoulder straps as well as the cod/butt they appear to be TK as well. I would guess that the back is a TK back as well. Other than the helmet and having the ab pouches I would assume that the WWII storm commando is mostly TK pieces. Thoughts?

Orsan: I just used a Krylon metallic gold (in the pic below), try and use the same brand of paint, even the primer AcJay: I haven't been approved yet, I still need to make the adjustments

Helmet repaint for Nova Elite All fixed up the ugly mug under the glossy black helmet

SInce my WIp was on our old boards I thought I post it back up. It all started with a white FX kit that was trasnformed by 6 cans of Krylon gloss black My first Nova was originally the RPG version which is currently not accepted by the 501st Back pack before painting End result of the RPG version

I believe that the RPG reference should be removed since it is NOT accepted by the 501st

wow, and incredible build, excellent work!
