Kashyyk Trooper Helmet Progress Near Completion?!?!`
By · CommentsIt seems like this helmet project is moving so quickly. It must be because I am not doing the work on it. I like “working” on things like this.
Kashyyk Trooper Helmet Progress….
By · CommentsWe started cutting the Kashyyk Helmet parts. We will get into assembly within the next few days. So far so good! The parts will be glued together, sanded and seams will be filled.
Kashyyk Trooper Armor Backplate CNC in Progress…
By · CommentsWe CNC’d the Kashyyk Backplate this weekend. We had to use two different types of foam due to our shipment not showing up. Ugh. Anyway, it wasn’t so bad. Of course, we still have sanding and minor shaping to do before we fill and seal the foam.

Kashyyk 3D File Progress…update!
By · CommentsWe’ve finished most of the models for the vacuum form bucks for the Kashyyk armor. Things are starting to move quickly. You should see some serious progress by this weekend.
Kashyyk Trooper Project….
By · CommentsA while back, we started 3D modeling the Kashyyk Trooper in an attempt to get as accurate of a depiction
as possible. This is the model so far. We’ve had to adjust the model from what we thought was accurate to what will be functional. Apparently, the goggles sit too high for a human head. You would not be able to see out if we don’t drop the goggles
After getting the file to a point where we feel comfortable calling it done, we went ahead and cnc’d it from foam.
Arena Jango Fett Progress….
By · CommentsI put the Jango costume on the mannequin today to see how it looks so far. Not bad. Fantastic work on all items. Cruzer made some seriously baddass armor. Ammo Belt by Seeker. Holster belt by Cruzer. Girth belt by Imperial Outfitters. Jumpsuit by Jedi’s Closet. Vest by Imperial Outfitters.
Some serious weathering and armor attachment and I think we are there.
R2 Test Drive
By · CommentsThis is the first time we’ve had one of our R2s running. This turned out to be a test of the drive train as well as the RC control. Everything went very well and now it’s only a matter of working out the bugs.
R2’s Drivetrain Finished….
By · CommentsWith work slowing down a little, we were able to work on the drivetrain and get it finalized. It’s nice to get back to work on this project.
My Aluminum R2 on the Chopping Block….
By · CommentsI’ve decided to get rid of my Aluminum R2 and transfer the money into the wooden frame version. Ugh. I know…..right. As beautiful as it looks, the aluminum R2 is a bit of time that I can’t afford. It’s much faster to work on the wooden frame R2s for sure. What a bummer.
