  4. TK-3437 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (AP?) [963]

    That's right! Brilliant event one of my most favorite ones! Yeah after that troop I removed the bolt and replaced it with some aluminum flashing. dropped a good pound or two, the demil definitely gets heavy as the day goes on. Really makes me wish single point slings were canon!

     

    I did swap from Makaze to Parjai as I moved to NW Florida for a new job. Definitely miss Orlando and folks there but I've got a good group here too, just wish Disney and such wasn't 7hrs away!

    I wish I lived back in Orlando so I could link at one of the TK Sweatshop armor parties. Always missed them when I lived in Orlando. Thankfully up here we have 850 Armorworks locally so sometimes I can get in on a build part. Should make getting myself a R1 TK easy enough in the future too!

     

    I got a chance to crack away at the thermal det and got it down to our 7.5 inch size on the dot. Had to slice off some and redo some screws' placement. I also had a chance to set upo an album to more easily view my photos. I've been wrestling with the forum's file size limits and that's made uploading tough.

    I also have my 3 glove options laid out. The two shorter ones are the dipped fabric gloves while the long ones are vintage chem gloves I got when I bought an old surplus gasmask. It's been nice to have options. The shorter ones make it a little easier to manipulate items since they are thinner rubber so they are typically my trooping ones.

    Thanks for the notes. I took a ton of photos and sorting them has been a pain. Trying to get them straight. I'll have to look into the kidney plate some more, but I did a suit up right after I noticed that darn shoulder strap got tucked. Didn't think that made it into my upload. I went and made several other corrections as well. More to come. Working on an Imgur album to hopefully make the photo uploads a bit easier.

  15. Buying a recasted armor

    If the details are there and it is built correctly I don't think it would prevent you from getting approved. All depends on what your GML says about the details. Recasting is a big no no around here but I've not heard of it preventing approval. The key I'd think is if the proper details are in place, if its too soft I could see them rejecting it.

    I personally think an e11 look naked without the power cylinders.

     

    I'd just stick some cheap printed ones on, until you can get proper metal replicas.  Sanded and painted up, it shouldn't be an obvious difference.  You've spent a lot of time and effort making it as accurate as possible, why stop at something like this?

     

    The power cylinders are nice, but it is still plenty screen accurate "naked". It's an upgrade I'm interested in but it's another $100 minimum that could go further in other project upgrades that would make more of a difference. I think I do have a resin set I could play with if it s that important to have now.

     

    The scratch builds do look like some fun, but I need to make more headway on other projects like my Death Trooper before tossing on another!

    I have a demilled Sterling and I've tried to only use original parts with it, thus far it has a working M38 and a real Hengstler counter (Sadly not an eagle) mounted to it. I'd rather not glue on some resin/printed power cylinder for approval and while the metal replicas are excellent their price point is somewhat significant for a small detail that was not on every E11. Are the power cylinders and absolute or more of a idealized guideline? Thanks. 

     

    also it has been been way too long since I looked into doing this program!
