Phase II Darktrooper Build

[Fivezero[TX]]

Alright I think I'll try to knock this one out then move onto my last two projects then take an armor break for a bit . Pretty much I need to rebuild the upper torso armor since it kind of disintegrated... So I'll try to get that done in the next couple weeks. I also need to redo the feet a little bit more so they flow into the legs better.

 

The legs and helmet have been improved and have been sitting around in primer since late August so I'll try to get some white on them soon.

 

My goal is to have it ready by the end of December for another round of pictures (if not earlier).

Ty, you got some mad skillz.

[Fivezero[TX]]

Thanks bro!

 

All you need is time, patience, some research and it helps to be mentally insane (what other explanation do I have for four unapproved builds in progress).

 

Ugh, I'm splitting this up this time, not going to chug through it all like I did before (I could not feel my hand afterwards...)

now that looks fun. Your skills are beyond mine for sure.

[Fivezero[TX]]

Well that actually went a lot quicker than the last time, probably because I didn't have to cut out each individual polygon like before (Pepakura actually connected the different faces this time )

 

That's a lot of cardstock...

When can I come out for Pepakura training?

[Fivezero[TX]]

Heh, I'll post a little how to someday for ya guys.

 

 

Moving right along today. Don't worry if it looks very sharp right now. I found a little trick while making the EVO helmet that I'll apply on the torso.

Whoa there, computer. There never was a double post...

Whoa there, computer. There never was a double post...

 

You just couldn't wait to get that 212th post now could you

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Heh, I'll post a little how to someday for ya guys.

 

 

Now that is much needed

[Fivezero[TX]]

Well I've been thinking about this for the last few days and regrettably I'm going to drop this project from my list.

 

I've lost interest in it and really have no desire now for the Darktrooper. Maybe I'll restart it someday, but right now I'm just falling more and more in love with my other projects. I just don't feel like putting in time and effort into something I don't love.

 

However, I've learned some great things working on this that I'm using and will continue to use for future projects.
