Thanks guys!

I have some more bad news. You are going to have to buy a Rancor now, and build the Rancor's dungeon below the throne room now! $$$$$$ Seriously though. I can only dream about a project like this. Looks absolutely amazing, buddy! Excellent work!

Thanks! The Mimban TK is the coolest alternate trooper since the Sand Troopers. There was no way I wasn't going to make one.

Thanks guys!

Basically he’s all done. Just need to scratch build the ammo bandolier. I’ll do that next weekend.

I came up with an idea for how to maintain the waves that I wired into the hem of the cloak, for the fabric stiffener and water treatment. I used chopsticks and ran them up the inside of the cloak, then doused it with the fabric stiffener with a little water mixed in so it didn’t clog the spray...

Holy crap I’m out of practice with shaping a wired cloak. This was a total PITA. It’s totally worth it though. Still need to weather the cloak, which I may be able to get done today. After that It’s just scratch building the ammo pouch bandolier.

I know, right?! I just got a Elegoo Saturn a few months ago, and it's just so much easier to get stuff accomplished. I've only made a few things so far, but they have all been amazing. There is a definite learning curve, at least for me. There was much clenching of fists, and gnashing of teeth...

The plan for this weekend is to scratch build the ammo pouches. None of the Vietnam era ammo pouches available in 1/6 scale are large enough to look accurate. I’m also planning on finishing the cloak. So far I have dyed it black, hemmed it up slightly, and wired it. I’ve also replaced the brass...

Here’s what the final paint job looks like. The "rain drops" are very subtle, but you can see them on the blaster rifle in this pic. Also, ignore the fuzz on the top of the helmet. I was touching up the paint with a Tamiya weathering set, and I used a cotton swab, and some of the fine threads of...

Next I painted up the armor. First I went over a few key areas with a Tamiya weathering pen, I used mud of course, but I didn't apply it directly to the armor, I rubbed a little onto my thumb and then rubbed my thumb onto the armor where I wanted that red/orang color to be. Then I went into the...

First up is my Mimban TK. The second thing I made after my Fett helmet was the Mimban TK’s sniper plate (it’s not a data processing dome).

Now that I have all the tools to really get some work done, I'm gonna get to it!

My sentiments exactly. Also there are much more exiting dios. they could make if that was their plan.

Thanks. I went with that blaster since most of the Mimban TKs have them, and it's just another little ingredient to help distinguish them from regular TKs.

Almost done with my Mimban TK! Just need to finish up the cloth parts, and he’s done.

Late to the game on this one, but I’m almost done. This mud-ball is turning out great! Still need to weather, wire, and shape the plash, and dye and weather the bandolier.

Holy crap! That looks fantastic. Very nice work!

Nope. I just checked, and it's still dry as a bone. And it shouldn't rub off on the trooper, as I only painted the orange part of the pauldron.
