Raysc Sho’sen Live Action DW—maybe?
« on: Jan 02, 2023, 10:09 AM »
I have slowly been working on a Live Action DW kit. I do not intend at this moment to attempt BRL, but is this the place to document this canon kit?

For instance my soft goods. The bucket is not being used for this. The belt is from slide belts, gwabbo suit, leather props from Darmans, and boots from Funtasma?


Knee darts and cylinder from JJ Industries


Shoulder bells from Clever3d studio which all armor is from




weathered
Slide belt


Various weathered parts


Westar


Helmet wip



Gaunts


Shoulder straps


That is it for the moment.
Havinga difficult time tracking down a jet pack but will work on tweaking flight suit and armor.
Thanks

First time testing the fit. I changed to a slightly larger chest plate from past posts. I am weathering chest plate. At least it shows the weathering of my other armor. Compare/ contrast. The bucket has been repainted and I am weathering. The shirt is to short. I need to add some material to bottom of shirt so it tucks in. Kinda upset about that. It fit back in Sept when I received it. Also may need to add to waist of pants for more secure fit. Just a tab to tight. Anyway-looking for feedback on armor placement/fit. Weathering.

Hi Bryan! Happy to find your wip thread.

Just inputing what I mentioned on the builders group to here.


- Rachel G. Nguyen



Great kit so far!

Based on visuals from the show, Live Action DW seem to have slightly bigger armor plates. I believe the kidney armor should be a bigger size, maybe your left thigh as well.

Other recommendation would be weathering the flight suit, leather accessories, and boots a bit to be consistent with the vest and armor plates. But it might be the lighting, you could always take close up shots of those items if the weathering is indeed present.

You are on the right track! Great job.

Thank you. A new kidney plate is on the way.
I am also slowly working on the weathering.
Finding a jet pack is a bit of an issue. I have one but not sure it will suffice. Thanks again

Checking placement of thrusters. This is as far as they can be recessed. Is this enough?


Also painted silver edge

Thank you!! I have the thruster ball fan greebles and the exhaust vent grill on the way. Then weathering. Appreciate you looking it over. I have tried to compare it to similar screen shots, my wife thinks I am crazy for as often that I pause and look lol, and I think I am there. But then I over think it all. Thanks again.

If you can, is it possible to move the thruster ball a little more into the JP body? From the rear view, you shouldnt be able to see the ball detailing. Just the side vents.

Ok. So the circled balls should not be visible from this perspective?

I will try. It is a 3D PLA print and not sure how much I can dremel out but I will try.
Thanks
