TK 4813's Novatrooper Elite

[TK 4813[TX]]

Figured I would post up some pics of my nearly completed nova elite. There are some minor strapping issues that I need to work on. Mainly bring the shoulders up.

 

I have AM armor, a EFX helmet (I already want a smaller ATA or MTK bucket, a hyper firm DLT-19, and a Quartermaster backpack.

 

Let me know what you think!

Wow, very nice job Geoff! Did you paint it with a high gloss black, or just put a nice clear coat on it (or both)? Looks like it has a nice shine to it!

 

[TK 4813[TX]]

Actually, it was all high gloss black from the start. I bought one of the gloss black AM kits a couple months back. The EFX helmet was a Blackhole helmet they offered 2 years back. The gold I used rustoleum metallic gold. I put 2 coats of clear on the gold, but I think I may repaint the gold at some point to make it more glossy.

Oh wow, didn't realize what kind of out of box shine that black AM had, lol. Did you paint the pauldron yourself, or did it come gold?

[TK 4813[TX]]

Pauldron I did myself. I was surprised how well that worked. I also dyed the ammo pouches black (along with my leg and basement floor too)

Lol did you look tk1336's site for the pauldron or ammo pouches?

[TK 4813[TX]]

Nope. What's the address?

 

[Shade]

It's http://www.tk1336.com/tdtrooper.html . I only ask because I was hoping that you had and that he was all legit. Was thinking about getting a backpack, pauldron, and some ammo pouches from there, but I hsvent emailed him or anything.

Quartermaster here on these boards sells the backpack, that's who I got mine from at least. Other reputable makers sell them over on MEPD.net

 

The pauldron came from www.shoulderpauldrons.com (same as www.TKboots.com)

Ah, very cool, the things you learn from other members

Where were these pictures taken?

[TK 4813[TX]]

We had a small photoshoot at a park in Green Bay. I just wish it wasn't a 100 degrees out that day, that sucked for the first time out.

Awesome stuff Geoff, and good to have you on the darker side of the darkside too.

[Quartermaster]

Looks fantastic Geoff! Great job on the armor and paint job. Love that Metallic Gold!

 

Thanks for the plug on the pack!

That's a sweet looking kit. Fits you well. Let us know when it gets approved so we can give you full TX access!
