Nice armor! You´ll soon be Centurion There´s nothing written in the CRL´s concerning the position of the rank stripe:

Congrats!

Thanks for sharing Paul, great to get to know those little details

It was simply sculpted?!

Wow! You look great, your armor fits you very well! This will be a no-brainer, the only thing I can see is the attachment of your holster to the belt. On this pic it look like you only used to rivets: And on this pic it looks like you used the correct 4: Another picture of the outside of the belt would be great. Either way: Great to see another excellent hero!

Wow. I´m impressed. Maybe I need to order another ATA helmet..... Do you want to order john danter´s hero conversion kit or what ears and bubble lenses do you want to use?

Wow, cool idea with my the iron! Would really love to see some close ups of the teeth area.

Patrick, we are all here to help you to reach this status of costuming excellence. But you need to listen to the advices mentioned here. I would recommend you to connect your forearms to your biceps, pretty easy fix. Look here: And this is my solution: Also in the first pic the bicep-forarm gap doesn´t look good. Maybe you could also tighten your forearms, your right forearm looks pretty big. Only a few steps till you reach EIB, then maybe Centurion next?

Thats what I wanna hear!

Okay, but I want to see a build thread of your NE armor ;-)

You haven t heard the news? The AM is no longer produced. The new armor sold by Troopergear and TupperwareTK is called NE (Nostalgic Empire) it is much more accurate than the AM and also the helmet is a new sculpt. I saw some build threads here on these boards and the helmet looks sharp and accurate. You can ask both sellers for their prices. Probably worth a try

Yeah! Trooper Gear is one of the AM /NE sellers. My memory returns. Have you already bought an AM? The new NE armor together with the helmet looks promising, but I haven t seen a built one yet. Maybe you can go with the complete kit and therewith prevent a color difference ;-)

Sorry, but the fact, that I have never heard of TG on these boards; makes my recast alarm ring ;-)

What is TG armor? I mean what do those 2 letters stand for and who sells it? Why don´t buy AP armor too? or a complete TMC, ATA, NE, TM, RS or whatever set (armor+ bucket)

STAY AWAY!!! Horrible FX recast. Dont buy from ebay, look into the "getting started" section

Hm. I got an AM armor and TM helmet and the color difference is not that obvious. A slight color difference should not keep you from basic approval, for EIB or Centurion I don´t know. As long you don´t get yourself a bright white RS PVC with a helmet as cream colored as CFO´s ROTJ helmet I don´t see a problem.

He wears them already ;-) I just did not identify them on first sight

Man, look at the date of the last post.....

Hm. Although the armor is crap, it does fit you well. First I would suggest to turn the button plate 180° for RotJ style. What kind of boots are you wearing? But please: Swap.This. Helmet. No offence but it is so........ wrong, so goddamn wrong. Get in touch with sskunky (CFO) here on these boards and ask him for his accurate RotJ helmet. That would be a good start and then you can work on the rest of the armor.

A good advice: use an eraser to rub the ecxcess of. ( You know what I mean, this thing to eliminate pencil marks ) Works perfect on those tiny e6000 excess you cant grab with your fingers

Speechless?

Great to hear that we could help you!

I thought the same ;-)
