Got My First TK!

[DarthKnight]

Got my first TK. Now then, the knee bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the...OMG! Where to start ?!? This should be a fun build. Got eye surgery next week so might wait a couple weeks to really get into it. It has TK and TD parts. Can you be a clean TD? You know, fresh off the star cruiser. New recruit. Think I will go TK for now. Complete hard armor, helmet, helmet pad, belt, soft shoulder straps, hard shoulder straps, 2 knee plates (one TD and one TK), fullers earth pouches, neck seal, boots still in the box, thermal detonator kit, 2 pairs of gloves, spare abs for joining strips, sign abs for the shims, 2 paldrons black and orange. Ordered Henderson dive suit. Got blower fans for the bucket. Am I missing anything besides an instruction manual?

Wow. That has to be a big pile of stuff!

Hyperfirm and holster, helmet fan and voice amp and you are trooping pretty!

[DarthKnight]

Ordered an E11 blaster (Hasbro). Do some mods and lighting effects to it. The holster looks easy to build. Looking for one now. Anyone see that blaster one eBay for $777.77 . That's crazy.

Decided to build a HWT. The helmet is built. I keep looking at the box of parts yet they are still not done. LoL. Little intimidated to start cutting. Do HWT have to wear the back pack all the time?

[DarthKnight]

Hi, Just thought I would update this thread. HWT is about 80 percent done. Its the little details to finish up this build. Found it fairly easy to put together. Love Zap-A-Gap. Makes the build fast. Can't wait to leave Vader at home and get my Trooper on!

Looking forward to seeing it finished! We can never have enough Stormtroopers.

We can never have enough Stormtroopers.

.....unless they are Stormtroopers wearing FX helmets.

Watch it pal...

Some of us have really large heads...

[Mr Fett]

That’s why RT-Mods now has been making movie style Stormtrooper helmets in a bigger size for the guys who can’t fit the accurate standard movie style Stormtrooper helmet size.

[DarthKnight]

I really had to stretch out the thighs on my build. One inch strips on the front and I dont even want to say how big the back strips are. Gotta cut out the twinkies and just stick with Ding Dongs....lol

[DarthKnight]

So question here about getting this HWT approved. What do I do and will I get another number other than my Vader?

[Lumpy]

When you get it approved, you will not get another number, just another 2-letter designation (like the SL for your Vader).

[DarthKnight]

Got some pictures of the build. Almost done with just a few tweaks and things to finish it all up. T-21 Blaster will go into paint this weekend. Then lights and sound for it.

Looks great. Love those packs.
