Posted 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 Trooper Project….
Posted 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.
G2 Animated Clone Wars Clone Trooper Armor Project
Posted by: | CommentsWe’ve made some significant progress on the armor parts and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The armor is really coming out well. It is symmetrical and correct to the show/movie. We will be test pulling parts this week and will be working on the rubber parts needed to complete this costume. The armor parts will be pulled from 1/8″ thick high impact styrene on a professional vacuum table to ensure the cleanest pull and properly heated parts.
