  2. My TM Build begins..

    in ANH (Stunt and Hero)

    Posted

    Hi Nicole i am glad you are ok , with what happend in Boston , i cant understand why you would have to cut so much out on the TM parts ?, i have built 3 TM suits to date plus others, and to your size and  body frame to , i wish you could have posted pics before you cut so we could have helped each other , the thing is you do not want the parts to hug you tight , you need about 1cm all the way round on the inside of certain parts to allow for movement ;)

     

    The shins look ok from the front i can see you have trimmed them at the bottom which is good for us little troopers me included ;) but i have never had to trim the tops of TM thighs , trimming the bottom of the shins sorts the out ;), please post some pics of the the thighs so i can have a look with you wearing them how they are at the moment !   

  8. Ralph McQuarrie's Concept Stormtrooper "Armor"

    My thoughts exactly Mathius , that's what we are trying to achieve based on Ralphs concept drawings from the Armour , Shiled , Lazer Sword but also getting inspiration from the GG bust and figure ;)

     

    Lets just wait and see the first set from Kevin which iam so sure is going to look awsome ;) and pay homage to the late Mr McQuarrie :)

    And Eric thank you for putting this thread in the NL :)

    A couple of issue's that stick out to me is your black out line's on your tear traps and back traps they look way to thick need to thin them down ;)

    Also your drop boxes should have 1 inch wide white  elastics that loop over the belt and attached by x 1 rivit , not to have webbing plus 2 rivits as you have easy mod though ;)

     

     

    Original belt in this pic and if you want to add gaffa tape go for i say :)

  16. TK10455 requesting ANH Hero EIB Status [TM][313]

    That explains the shins mate :duim:

     

    When you adjust your back plate you might need to make your elastics joining your bottom of backplate and top of kidney a bit longer, just play around with it untill the bottom of the back plate stacks on top of the kidney :)

     

    Another little trick is to wear shoulder pads under the undersuit lifts the back and chest plates by about half an inch to a inch also its very comfatable to ;)

    Nice one Fredrik , and i do love a TM Hero Build :smiley-sw013: , two things that stick out to me and this would not effect your  EIB submition but would look tons better B) , is to raise the backplate  so you have a gap between the top of the kidney and bottom of the backplate you can do this by having shorter shoulder elastics joining the chest and backplate, so what you would be doing is bringing the chest and back plate tabs closer at the top  , but i can see you have plenty of room there and you would not have to trimm down the tabs on the backplate   :)     , and this would be a great opertunity to change them from black to white ;).

    The other thing was why did you cut those little cut outs on the tops of the shins mate , they are not going to help you much they really need to be wider and to give you more cumfot ? plus looking at them you could have left them as they where IMHO   :)
