Hey Dee Oh

Quick question for yas. Do any of you know where to find 1/4" to 3/8" wide masking tape. I've seen it used on Car/motorcycle customizing Shows. But for some reason I can't seem to find any locally.

Any ideas?

So am I on the right track? This is my first attempt at weathering. Sooooo... Mine http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/Proto-typical/Old%20Rex%20Armor/DSC_0056.jpg Screen Grab http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/Proto-typical/Old%20Rex%20Armor/Right20Hand20Plate20Detail.jpg I still want to m...

I've never done weathering before.

Alrighty I missed my goal to be at the Monroe Comic Con. And I missed my original goal of being done before Season 2 of Rebels started. I'm ok with that, as long as I'm done for the Ep.VII premier. And now that the first episode of Season 2 has aired, I have a lot more source material to get the det...

With the new job, progress is slowing down, but has not stopped. I'm getting ready to start painting, even though I have yet to start the Shin Guards.

My Second Test Fit...

Tell me if I'm crazy... I have found a good, solid date for my goal. I would like to have it presentable for the Monroe Comic Con on October 3. Right now I have done Chest piece (except for a couple of straps that need to be sewn) The Left Forearm guard (about 50%) Both Hand plates Stuff that is not...

Soooo...

There has to be a CRL created for a new character before one can be approved? I was wondering how that would work.

Still put-sing around with my Rex Armor, hoping for an armor party.
(I hope that hint wasn't to/too/tutu subtle)

In that case, I hope that Captain Phasma isn't a one movie wonder like Darth Maul.

Alrighty I decided that I need that I need a goal. Since I have no ideas what events are coming up, I decided on a very loose goal. :roll: Since Star Wars: Rebels season 2 is set to premiere on Oct. 14. I would like this armor done by (or around) that date. I figure that is about a month and a half ...

Large enough to fit 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, a mouth, and a brain.

Ok, looking at my screen grabs one more time. the section under the shoulder straps are one piece (between the chest and back) but I am noticing that so little is actually visible that a seam there would be hardly visible. By the way, I wanted to thank you Mike. You might not know clone armor, but y...

You should be able to slide the chest piece on separate from the back and as long as your neck fits in there you're good to go. one "Slight" problem. On this armor, the connection between the chest and back is permanent and filled smooth. I might not have a choice in putting an opening on...

Well, I ran into my first BIG hurdle today. I have most of the parts trimmed, and I decided to test fit the chest piece. One piece at a time worked out even though it was a bit tight around my ribs. I connected the shoulder pieces to the chest and back with blue tape and tried to put it on. Well, my...

does this mean I can stop voting now?

So far the only Pic I have...




Now I need an Armor Party (or a whole bunch of motivation)

It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here!

How do I say this Calmly...

OMG OMG OMG My Big Brown Box of Plastic Goodness hit the USPS Allen Park Distribution Center today

That means it should be in my hands Tomorrow!

Soon, my precious. Soon [rubs hands together] Well, I got my tracking number yesterday. My Ole Rex Armor should be hitting the door... Uhm... Soon. :villain: I plan on post a WIP on both clonetroopers.net and Rebel Legion's Clone Trooper forum. I'll even post a few pics here if you want. :popcorn:

Hey Dee Oh Everyone I ordered my Clone Armor a couple of weeks ago to do Captain Rex from Rebels Season 2. and I just got news from Kevin at KWDesigns that it should be shipping next week. :thumbs: I may be a bit over my head, considering that this is my first armor build. :crazy: The harder the cha...
