Thank you for the kind words.
It is just frustrating to see all of that work go down the tubes though.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have fixed all of the problems and am currently reworking the templates.
Here are the photos of my progress so far.
As you can see by the photos, I have been able to make the patch and insignias more visible and recognisable.



Here are the photos of the formal (dress) uniform.
Everything is clearly visible and you can tell what the patches and insignias are.



ENJOY!!!

I will be starting on the female template next.

I have added the grey armband, the box that is attached and the box on the belt.
Here are the photos for your viewing ENJOYMENT!!!



For those of you who are asking "Is he going to make a helmet for these figurines?". The answer is "NO". How ever Revell-Fan GRACIOUSLY did make the helmet for these figurines!!!
In my opinion he PERFECTLY nailed this helmet!!!
As you can see, it is easy to build and it is the PERFECT finish to this template.
Here are the photos for your viewing pleasure:



Now there are a few more tweaks that I have to make to the template. Once I have finished, I will send everything to Tirick for review and approval.

ENJOY!!!

These look great. I had an idea a while back for professor plastics superhero figures ( Golden Age Superheroes - Paper Models )that would also work for these. What if you laminate a slightly smaller cut out for the hands, made out of a drink can, between two paper copts of the hands. Wouldn't that make the hands pose able?

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I would like to announce that Tirick has just uploaded the EDD Thunder Fighter Pilots to his website. These are now available for EVERYONE to download.
These figurines are COMPLETE (with both flight/duty uniforms and formal (dress) uniforms, as well as ALL of the accessories that are shown in the photos above).

So if you download them, please post photos of your build. I would REALLY like to see some of you build these figurines!

The next figurines to be made will be the BSG (TOS) Viper Pilots.

ENJOY!!!

Very cool. Are they still 28 mm? Shoot, I might as well pop over there and see.

Thanks

EDIT: I see that they are 1:48 and 1:35

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here is the next figurine. Yes, it is the (TOS) Colonial Warrior (Viper Pilot).
Now, these figurines are quite easy to put together and can be made within a couple of hours (this is why everything will be posted all at once).

I started with the legs. As you notice, there are straps on the boot. There will be (both) brown and black boots (as both are canon).



Moving on the the body.


Here I have added the "quilted bib" panel on the front of the shirt, to give it a more realistic look.


Torso is complete.


Legs are attached.


I have made the arms for (both) the shirt and jacket (for added realistic effect).


On this arm, you can (clearly) see the "BLUE" Squadron patch on both the shirt and jacket sleeve.


Here is the body of the jacket (with all of the "piping" detail added).

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is the blaster and holster. I have attached the holster to the body. This is important to do now. Otherwise, if you add it after you attach the jacket, you can have problems.


I have added the jacket, attached the arms and shoulder pads. The good thing about the shoulder pads, is that the help to hold the arms in place.


Here comes the part parts, "ACCESSORIES"!!!
Here I have made the "Leg Board" (the graphic face plate is from Revell-Fan).


Here are the charge cartridges for the blaster.

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is the Languatron and the disc stand (with logo).


Here is the helmet. Now I have added a bit more detail. There will be two types of eagles that you can choose from to mount on the top of the helmet (I have only posted one though).
