New Armor - Rex!

[deathstar1000]

So me and brother started working on our build. I'm going with Rex and my brother is going grunt but he is really eyeing doing Wolffe.
Anyway, here is the shipment we got a few weeks ago:



Here is mine out of the box:

Quick trim of the buckets:



Sanded down a bit:



Tried putting the range finder on to see how it looks. Having problems keeping it up though.

And a little trimming on the legs:





That's all we have so far. It'll be a slow build since we don't have a lot of time to work on it.
Going to see if I can paint the helmet this weekend. But to figure out what exact color I need for Rex and Wolffe (if my brother decides on him).

Very cool. Are you going to wear it on put on mannequin?

[deathstar1000]

Wear, since I'm in the 501st. If you guys go to CVI, you'll see it!

[Mogook]

Cool. Looking forward to the updates.

Primered the helmet, figured out how to make the range finder stay up without any glue and trimmed one thigh piece.

This is what I used for the range finder.

Painted the bucket with 3 coats of Satin White.



And also finished trimming the thighs and trimmed some of the arms.
