Allan1313's TFU Royal Guard Build

[stripes]

You'll want to trim the spats and shind down so that they don't pinch together. The way you have them now you're asking for either a broken ankle or some serious armour bite

That's what I was thinking too. The little bit I did walk around they were hitting together. My spats are pretty big right now . I will trim them and maybe the when armor too after I trim the spats. Thanks for the input.

Ok I have been busy the last week or so painting and making the back plate. For the back plate I started with a TK back plate and cut out the 0 II part and extended it a little.










The back plate is now all primed and waiting for paint. It has been too humid the last few days to paint.

Here is the painting I have gotten done recently. The shoulders, chest, spats, and shins.










I also started to put some snap plates in for the internal strapping.




The last thing I was able to do was strap up one of the shins. I think it came out pretty good so far.

Doing well on your WIP progress... keep us posted.

[Allan1313]

So I was able to strap up both legs.



I was then able to strap up the rest and suit up. I am pretty satisfied with most of it. There are a few things I can fix up a bit. The belt was a little off center which threw the kama a bit off. I have a bit too much padding at the top of my helmet which makes it sit a little high. So how's it looking??








I also go the last parts I needed for my saber pike, so I will start that build next.

Let me know what you think

The flightsuit is looking very baggy. It should be a tighter fit and not bunch up like it is now. The back plate is also still clearly showing the groove marks and could stand for more filling and sanding....

[Allan1313]

The flight suit I can fix pretty easy. I will put some stirrups on the legs to keep them from riding up and bunching at the top of the boot. I will do something similar with the sleeves to keep them from bunching when I put the forearms on.

The back plate it a little more tricky. Its a little hard to tell from the pictures, but they are smooth with no holes or lines, its just that its not entirely flat. So this makes it looks not smooth. I basically have 2 options for that, cut it apart again and use more panels so it lays flatter or try to find someone selling a backplate.

Please have a look at your spats too.
They should be go from the ground over the boot to the ground.
Like in the pictures of the model.
