Apok[TX] Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks team. Going to slow down for the next two days but hitting hard agin on Thursday and Friday. Hope to have the approval pics done on Sunday night. DW2011 is taking a massive amount of time at the moment. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 You know....you're already a member so you don't necessarily have to have your approval on that costume to troop it as long as it's all in good order. Link to comment

Â Â For the Dreamworld Star Wars weekend troop, only approved costumes can troop. That was one of the conditions we made for this event, to keep the costume standards high. Â This also gives our members encouragement, so they have a goal date to aim for, for finishing off costumes. Link to comment

Apok[TX] Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ran out of glue dammit. Still got to paint the boots as well and the details on th helmet. DW2011 is looming. Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Still got the boots to paint and some minor webbing. Building the helmet today as I finished the painting last night. Thermal det attachment to the belt as well. Fingers crossed it will be finished tonight. Pics are coming but I don't have the time to mess around at the moment. Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Right still going the boots to paint, shoulder straps, helmet (tube stripes, bolt together, black stripes on the ears), ab buttons to be attached and buttons painted and that is it. Fingers crossed approval pics on Wed. Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Approval pics sent. Will post up some pics when I finish teaching tonight. Oh yeah!!!! Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Awesome! Good Luck bro! Link to comment
muppet[501st] Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Have posted up your pics Adam, looks like your det is still white, will need to paint to grey. Also maybe paint the back of your front belt, where the press stud is, and maybe a little paint inside the helmet. But i dont think these should hold up your approval. Fingers crosssed Thomas looks over your pics soon. Ken Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey Muppet the det tube is grey but due to the flash and the lights in the garage it looks a little whiter than it is. Yep just noted the white bits. Will add the paint to it in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed indeed. Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Here are the pics. Hope you all like them. Man was this a mission!!!!

izzi[TX] Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What color gray is the Det tube (It really looks as white as the armor)? If it's a primer gray that could be your problem. The shade of it really should match the gray on the helmet. I use Krylon smoke gray to achieve that. Â -iz Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's a dusk grey but I have a neutral grey which I painted the teeth with. Could use that....more taping and painting....NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Will see what the powers that be say. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 things look pretty darn awesome, but that gray is off a bit (everyone already pointed that out). The only other thing I noticed, not sure how to rectify it, is the black shows through a bit on the elastic portion of the boots. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Dude, he's a magma trooper, you think things don't get singed? Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Don't talk to me about being singed haha. I repainted the whole suit again because the Emperor thought I was a wee bit too toasty already haha. Link to comment
muppet[501st] Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just realized, that once Adams Magma has been approved, our Garrison, the Redbacks will have all TX bases covered, (hopefully with Alex's Sea/scuba/merman trooper finished will have all ) Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Nope... You'll still need a basic Nova. that's not really hard. Just another helmet paint job. Start cracking the whip! Link to comment
Apok[TX] Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Might just have to do that. Got some black ABS ready to form....methinks I have another project...as long as my Magma is approved haha. Link to comment
