  1. Love the progress you’ve made! The painting is looking great and the helmet is awesome. Cant wait to see pics of the robe!
  2. Thanks Andy. I was stoked to have another Acolyte to troop with. Cant wait to see your robe!
  3. Thanks for all of the new pics. It’s fun to see builds progress and yours is looking great!
  4. Hi Kyle, just checking in to see if you’ve made any recent progress on your Acolyte?
  5. I wish my pouches were a little bigger to hold small items. That’s a good idea. Your robe looks nice! You may want to raise the sleeves a little so more of your forearms show. And perhaps try to adjust it so we can see more of your chest armor. Keep up the good work!
  6. How is your build going? Do you have any pictures of recent progress? I’m looking forward to seeing updates!
  7. I was curious if you ended up getting the files. If so, have you started printing anything? inhave very limited experience working with 3d printed materials— just my FOTK blaster— but I’m looking forward to seeing how it works for you!
  8. Hi Andrew, I just replied to your other thread. How's the build going? Any pics?
  9. Hi! I'll give you some feedback on some of your questions to try to help you out a bit. Armor- I have Wolfgang's armor and I really like it. The build went smoothly. I have a friend who has resin armor from Mynock's Den, and it is also great looking armor! (He's on the left, I'm on the right) Mask- I troop in an early version of Mynock Den's mask with no backing. I also have a mask from Wolfgang but it was too big. (He has two sizes and I believe I ordered the small, so I was surprised by that.) Neck Seal- I have a heavy (vinyl?) one from Wolfgang. I also have a light cloth one that I got from someone (?) on the 501st forum a long time ago, but I dont troop it. Gloves- I use these FIrm Grip gloves I got from Home Depot. Robe- haha- I can't sew, and I made my acolyte before folks started selling them, so my mom made my robe for me from a modified jedi robe design. Belt pouches and belt- my belt is made of tan webbing and the pouches are nylon latex glove pouches. I wish they were a bit larger, but they work alright. https://www.rothco.com/product/rothco-enhanced-heavy-duty-latex-glove-pouch Boots- I use some tactical boots from Big 5 that come just above my ankle. I didn't want anything too high that I would have to squeeze into the shin armor. Response Gear Tactical Footwear- Deputy.
  10. I believe the CRL model is wearing Wolfgang's armor.
  11. Your build looks very nice! Let us know when you hear about approval.
  12. Donation made. Transaction ID 0XG99389UK2263456
  13. Looks great! Nice job on your build!
  14. Looking great! Thanks for sharing your pics.
  15. That's a good question! I decided to go with a darker color since that matched the reference images I was using better. I was also getting help from another new Acolyte and I liked how his armor looked, so I decided to use the same dark paint he used: Duplicate Color Perfect Match Dark Shadow Gray. (I tried posting a few pics but photobucket isn't being nice right now ) The CRL isn't super specific one way or another. Here's what the CRL says: Must be painted a metallic grey that is weathered in a pattern consistent with the rest of the armor.
  16. Can't wait to see them!
  17. I also have his kit. Enjoy the build! I love trooping in this armor. I ended up using black nylon glove duty pouches like these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VKMH64/ref=sr_pogo_sports_display_on_website_3?sr=3π=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65
  18. Looking good! Keep at it... This will look incredible once completed!
  19. Looking good, keep at it! This is a fun costume to troop in- it's all worth it!
  20. That's looking really good! I can't wait to see the whole final outcome!
  21. Cool! I don't know much about the Tusken Raider costume. Will this be a new build for you or will you somehow modify your current DZ? I like your TKID number 50117. It combines two of my favorite things: the 501st and Halo (the Master Chief is Spartan 117) Good luck on your build!
