Dr.Senf

I am not really into this armor but that looks mean! Good job!! ( hey how was that?) ; )

Wow! What a huge pricetag for actually nothing. Doopys are the thing to go with i think. The majority is very pleased with their builds.

I think the easies way is to get a new pair and if you wanna cut them just cut one side off. the tab can be missing on the backside. Dr

Sorry Peter to take your thread that way. Welcome to the ranks of EIB!!

Thats what i wanted to hear. ItS an easy fix so lets tell em to fix it. If there are rules wich we dont need to follow or we can bend them as we need them they re pointless. I cannot tell somebody to go for accuracy and they tell me it doesnt matter since you ll get approved anyway without even been told. Thats my whole point. Do or do not there is no try. Remember that phrase? Take care : )

so its a minor tiny fix,just 10 minutes of work and it would be conform to the standarts clearly written down. If that is no problem, gaps between ab and kidneyplate shouldnt be one aswell , since its common and some troopers are just a bit bigger. Or the crooked sniperplate, yes its a bad pull so nothing to worry about. Cmon guys you cant be serious. where does being accurate starts in your opinion? The allignment looks wrong and its not standard so why is everybody not seeing it or willing to say yes you should allign it properly.

c mon dude stay on topic and serious. There is not one picture providet in this thread (and thats all we have) where the allignment of the buttplate is correct. its always overlapping the kidneyplate. And thats a fact. So forget about the bitching and egopolish and tell me that i am wrong with this point. Since all the other points are just MY opinion of how a nice armor should look the buttplate is plane simple not attached in a correct way.

like i said the build is really nice!!!no critic on the build at all. no question that you know what you re doing. but honestly,what about that? Butt Plate For 501st approval: It is allowable to have a single butt/kidney plate for 501st requirements. If a separate butt plate is used, it should be below the bottom of the belt and line up with the kidney plate, with a minimal gap between it and the kidney plate. it has nothing to do with your trimmingwork or assembling its just an easy adjustment so it fits right for the person wearing it. Dennis was the guy who rattled my cage for being correct and that accuracy is about details and we had discussions about the sizes of screws and everything. i think he knows aswell what he is talking about. i am far from your and his level of expert knowledge but i can see if something is not lined up correctly or assembled wrong. that is no rocketscience.# my armor is far from perfect aswell even that it has centurion clearence but i am always happy if someone spots something what i can improve to make it a bit better.

Its a very nice build indeed Peter no doubt! I just thought its all about details in eib and centurion not about being nice and political correct and lacking the whole point of it a bit. Another lesson learned.

I'll give you that. It might really come across like i am just trying to take every build apart and if it would be like that it is really a bad thing. I always say and said in this thread " to make it even better than it already is" right? Question: is there overlapping on the butt and kidneyplate? Yes. And so on. I might be just minor adjustment but then its even better than it already is, isnt it? I am far off saying its wrong assembled. And i am not mr know it all . I appologize if i state something wrong. But our duty is to help all troopers to get the best out of there costumes right? So why do so many people have problems with it? In my garrison my build was torn apart to every single bit and rivetsize cause i asked for opinions and i was very pleased they did, cause only that way i could fix f.. Ups and wrong adjustments. That is the only way to Do it in my opinion. I could sing a praise about the armor and besides just mention a few things i might want to see a bit adjusted to get closer to accuracy. Yes i can do that but would that change something? Would it be easier to swallow for some people? I dont know. Germans are known to be picky, i cant help it. I have to cope with comments about my kind of posts aswell, does anybody care that these posts come across a bit arrogant aswell? "three tens and a nine" Woooyeah! I just did one armor but it went from being approved nearly directly up to centurion. So what?

You see back in here and directly you get a big laugh out of it! Welcome back i hope i made your day with that little amusement. But still i havent talked about mistakes or wrong assembled parts. Just statet my opinion and i will stick and stand up to every point of it. I dont care how many gazillion tk sets you ve done. In my opinion there are those minor things wich could make it even better than it already is. some people in here seem to have a bigger ego than the deathstar. There is a difference in suggestion and pointing out mistakes. Read my post again and you see your post was absolutely unnessesary. I will point out whatever i find on every armor displayed here in this Detachement and if some people cant handle it not be considered awesum or phantastic they shouldnt ask for opinions. As always i am sorry if it reads a bit rough or comes across a bit rude. I dont mean it in any bad way its just how german dudes speak english. So no hard feelings or another discussion about it please. )) Iam actually a nice guy! Really lol

Haha i think thats the simplest easiest explanation i ve seen here. Straight to the point. Great!

MIne comes from being picky ever since in most of my activitys, when i was a skaterboy looooong ago i had to master all my tricks and working on my mustang looked to my friends like an operation cause everything has to lie in line and order and had to be clean. The Senf came from a german phrase. translated it would be : putting my mustard onto everything. ( might sound funny to english and amerikans ) but what it actually means is that i have to say something to every topic. Some people like it some people hate it ,but hey thats me!

nice set of armor you ve put together! small suggestions wich you might consider if you like to . kinda small list hehe -do you stand a bit weird since the abplate looks a bit funky? -The buttplate overlaps the kidneyplate, -the coverstripes on your forearm looks a bit long to me, -the shoulderstrips could use a bit more trimming on the sides, -the calves would look awesum if you could trim them a bit tighter in the anklearea and the thighs look a bit wide aswell in the actionshot, -the shoulderbells could be adjusted a bit more so they dont tilt backwards and show so much black. Dont get offendet its just my opinion and suggestions to help you to get your armor even better than it already is. All the best Dr.

I use the clothearsbelt and the velcro is stitched onto the belt and if you close it really tight its not moving at all so i thing stitching is the way to go.

Yes it would !! I would be in for one aswell! Looking sweet

Grattis på födelsedagen!! I really hope the spelling is correct. Have a good one mate.

yep she is right! Heat gun--------------) very bad idea! Search butt join method, read it, read build threads or wip threads to see lots of pics and get different opinions. The Detachement is full of it! A bit research work will give you tons of infos and safes a lot of hassle! Dr

Das war also dein thread! Hätt ich das mal eher gewusst! Lach!

Welcome on board!

Woooohoooo! Now Go out and enjoy your earned stars!!! But still, we wanna see those changes ; ) At least i want . Lol

Woooohoooo! Now Go out and enjoy your earned stars!!!

That looks soooo much better!!! Even when its crooked a bit. The first attempt could be seen from miles away, now most of the people wont notice. Split rivets sortet well done. Now you just have to become friend with the ugly looking tubestripetemplates (cause they have to look like this : ) And you re sortet!! Good work!!

Like i said i changed mine aswell cause it was real pain. Have now a slight colorissue but till now no one realized. Its the AP drawback. Sorry for giving you such hassle.

I wear AP myself. It is p.i.t.a. I know and i changed the part already but its in my opinion not done with "the part is like it is , so whst can i do" Go the extra mile. Earn centurion status. I was never and will never get angry with anybody cause i like to help and keep standarts high. Were all in the same boat. Tricky to read tone out of a text right! Dr.
