Hey all, I apologize for leaving this thread hanging for so long. Life has really been knocking me around for the past year and a half. I've hopefully caught up with everyone who has inquired and reached out about getting the modded files. If not, please reach out again. Alright, so I wanted to post up a few more pics of my build that I never got around to posting. I'm actually still not fully done. I haven't made lenses yet. Currently I'm using placeholders printed from PLA in most of these pics, and the mic tips are printed OT tips, but I'm currently working on some to go with the modded files, so I'll probably end up using those. Anyway, coming back to the rubber brow trim. Ultimately, I liked the way it looked a little better than the printed version. In all honesty, I think the printed one actually looks pretty good. I like the way it turned out. But I've seen different references, some look like my printed trim and others look like rubber trim to me, somewhat similar to OT TKs. So I decided I was gonna make this build with rubber trim. I have a previous post entry where I show the rubber trim that I was experimenting with. I chose to experiment with the US161 rubber trim from sealsdirect.co.uk. It has the same height as the OT rubber brow trim, but it has a wider U-channel, which is necessary to ensure there isn't a gap between the trim and the forehead. Now as we've seen from reference, the positioning of the brow trim can vary from trooper to trooper even with the new Gen TKs. I happen to like the look of the trim hanging right above the top of the eyes, so to ensure that it would stay in place I designed a shim to adhere to the inside of the rubber trim that could then be adhered to the ledge of the brow/front of the dome. This will also work for the printed brow trim if you want the same positioning. I ended up using E6000 to first adhere the shim to the inside bottom edge of the rubber trim and used small spring clamps to hold it in place while it cured. And then later (and I'll make another post about assembly) I again used E6000 to adhere it to the brow. Here's a few pics of the shim in reference to the helmet and US161 rubber trim

I'm here too haha Welcome!

Welcome aboard Steven! I look forward to seeing your progress.

Welcome to FISD Steven!

Hello Steven and welcome to the forum!

Hello and welcome to the forum, posting a build thread is a great way to gain feedback and tips. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ You may find this thread useful Good luck with the build

I'm Sydney based. I'll probably try to sell this set before I consider what set to get next. Thanks for the heads up! I have a few of those but will keep them ready for when I'm ready!

FYI there are some updates for Nico's helmet files, or reach out to Greg TKModder421 directly I would try to match screen references, also think about matching the pauldron color too

Welcome! Not sure how short you are, but I'm 5' 3" (160cm) and here is my WTF build, which reached Centurion. I've found the WTF kit to be a good one for smaller folks. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/
