Hey guys,
I posted a few pictures in another thread but figured I should start an official build thread to stay organized.
So, when my big brown box arrived it was in pretty bad shape:
Luckily the only thing that was really messed up was the cap:
However when I put the bucket together to see how bad the damage actually was...
Not too shabby. Definitely a unique looking bucket, but hey, that's where the beauty lies, right? Really starting to appreciate the little intricacies with TK armor.
Ears will need some work:
But other than that I think it looks pretty good. I'll have to disassemble to plastidip the interior but for now, I'm happy enough to throw some decals on:
I'm really impressed with the decals. Very easy to mold to the contour of the bucket; I will remove these once I begin my centurion application and replace them with paint.
Also got some boots from imperialboots.com (super solid for the price and availability):
Just a small scratch on the side that has been covered with leather paint:
Also... I got an E-11 from Germany (with real parts!) but it too has felt the wrath of USPS
So, needless to say, I have some work to do. I will most likely be fixing the E-11 to use as a display piece as I have a Hyperfirm on the way and a DLT-19 hanging in my room.
More to follow!
