Jsin/KB Jet Trooper Build

[Supreme_Leader_66]

Hey everyone! Looks like I’m breaking ground here as the first Sith Jet Trooper Build. I plan to go 501st but still have to wait for the CRL to be posted. This is also my first build ever, so any and all tips, tricks, help and criticism is welcomed. So far I’ve just got the helmet and it’s about 75% complete right now. I’ll toss some pics up as I make progress. Hope to meet some other fellow jet troopers along the way!
MTFBWY!

Oh and don’t forget.... WE FLY NOW!

Very nice!  You are indeed the first to drop in here which puts you on the radar (in a good way).  Keep us updated on your build.  @IcyTrooper should have a draft of the CRL ready soon...and then from there we tighten it up as a community and look at what builders are able to (or willing to) meet those standards based on the references.

At this point, all TROS CRLs are in somewhat of a holding pattern as we wait for the blu-ray release to see if there is any footage or screen caps that can be pulled to decipher what the actual "on-screen" costume details are (compared to kits we see used as promotional displays or Hot Toys figures...which though accurate to a strong degree would not supercede the screen references).

Good luck on your build!  Following with interest.

Awesome! I’ll deff keep posting updates as I get more done. The bucket should be all finished up this week. I’m certainly glad to help with anything I can. Pretty excited to see this come to life!

2 coats of gloss clear down along with the mouth greeble glued in place. Couple more coats of clear, then it’s sanding polish and sealing time!

Also I'm excited was wondering who out of the run was gonna post first. I also am doing the build. Helmet should be inbound soon according to Jsin. Super excited for August we will all have to link up

Awesome! I was very pleased with Jsins work on the bucket, very nice and strong cast. Cant wait too see yours once you get started on it!

Jet Bucket is finished. As far as I could tell the cheek lines are hit with a slight black on the Sith Jet troopers. I also hit the backs of the nose vents with black as well. Visor is set in place and also black mesh is added behind the mouth greeble with zero costumer visibility.
