Force unleashed royal guard WIP

[Wighttrashpunk]

hi guys

Just starting wip thread for my TFU royal guard.

Please move if created in wrong section. I'm a relative noob as I use tapatalk with other forums.

Any and all constructive criticism welcome

Thanks for your time

Helmet turned up. Already loving it. Will see how it matches up with the armour provided by the awesome ross walmsley at RWA creations.

What material is that armor?
Looks nice!

[Wighttrashpunk]

Armour is HIPS. Can't wait to get started. Just received armour so weekend will be a busy one...

[Wighttrashpunk]

Armour is trimmed. Got the build started and glued popper tabs on inside of the armour ready for strapping.

Armour sits well with strapping. Will possibly have to paint lid to match hips plastic. Thoughts?

Boot armour (shin and spats) all trimmed and strapped with red elastic (shin) and black (spats). Also pictured is reference pic.

Every is coming to gether. Per the game references the Spats are not rounded off.

OK cool. I’ll get on to my armour guy ASAP about the spats. Thanks for the feedback. Will I need to respray my bucket in your opinion?

As long as the paint is consistent with all parts you should not have a problem with repainting. You can always put a pic of everything side by side for comparison.
