The BETTER Republic Commando Build...

**Sohryu76** · 06-09-2008, 08:58 PM

No.. My build probably isnt going to be better than Rob's... we are both going to work hard to make it right... But Fixer is so much cooler than Sev...

here is where I am so far... I wont show you the same pictures Rob just did.. we have the exact same kit, delivered on the same day, and we live in the same state...

but here ya go

OK so new update...
I've dont next to no work... but been at it for a long time...
Untoched helmet... Thanks, PA!

Cut visor out and filed it down to shape it.

left cheek vent...
drilled holes, then filed out with needle file... the three slits show three levels of progress on the vents...

slow and steady... making sure its the best it can be...

Ouch, but it is all good I will like being the psychopath of the group. Besides I would have never left my brothers on the field.

Mind if I ask where you guys bought the RC stuff from? Also, have you seen any nice DC-17 replicas around to go with them?

Thanks

talk about continuity issues...

Have not read the novels yet but I was under the assumption that they happened in between game missions.

I'll double check my time line...
but I'm pretty sure Karen has past the time line of the original game...

the game would have ran right up to ROTS as they were clearing the way for yoda's clones to come in.

ok so filing is done..
sanding is done.... PRIOR to the spot filler, I'm on my way tomorrow to pick up some 3M acryl glazing putty...
