  1. This is pretty much the standard setup a lot use, you may be able to work out from this:
  2. Looks like one side is much better, perhaps try bringing the strap even further forward, obviously the left is more difficult as you are holding the blaster and moving the arm a lot more. Some foam behind the knee can help push forward the sniper plate so it sits in front of the thigh. Looks like your left shin is rotating too, you can add some velcro behind which attaches to the boot, or even some elastic and snaps.
  3. Time consuming but best to get everything sitting just right even if it takes a few days
  4. Some gallery references for you to compare with Looks like a nice kit, the stock looks a little square on the base, could add some curve to it Also the transition from stock to housing is a little off but doubt anyone will really notice that
  5. Nothing has been moved, only edited for broken/non working links. I thought that had been completed, oh well didn't hurt to check

  8. WOW how did you forget you had a set of armor just sitting around, I have a few costumes (24) and know exactly were everything is Nice work, came out great. If you wanted to step it up a bit a few things that Sandy's have no larger ab button plate, also the sniper knee plate are different. The Diamond Knee plate is a six sided hexagon, mounted onto a five-sided "diamond" shape, with a point on the bottom Left side Abdomen Armor has a minimum of three, and maximum of four painted white buttons. Right side Abdomen Armor is a blank square and does not contain buttons like the Stormtrooper.
  9. Nice work, having the belt on will make a lot of difference to the side gaps, may also pull in your cod/butt. I added a few abs tabs behind the side of the ab/kidney to help pull the sides in. On the right side of your helmet the grey on your outter tooth isn't as pointed as your left. Also you could match the sides of black pain on the vocoder.
  10. Nice work. Normally the screws are a little higher up, the other issue is they are the wrong type of screw, they should be like this. Note: The recommended screw head size is #6/32 (7mm), with a length between 3/4" to 1" (17 to 25mm). For Level 3, all ear screws must be "..slotted, flat-topped, countersunk and painted white". If you were going for higher level approval I personally would use some ABS to fill those holes (if they are covered you wouldn't need to fill) and reposition the screws higher.
  11. Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

  13. Tape will work well holding pieces in place while the glue is drying.
  14. Congratulations trooper and welcome to the EI ranks
  15. AM or RT are best for the taller trooper, a few threads of info for you: Boots will a little more difficult for size 16, I would suggest trying to find a pair of Chelsea type boots and recolour white. You could also try Crowprops who do make to order, not sure if he goes up to 16 though https://crowprops.bigcartel.com/product/jhodpur-tk-white-short-boots

  17. I use a lot of free online audio converters, a few will allow you to merge audio files, dropping the sound level on an additional file sounds great in the background. Here are a few: Merger and some other tools (if you go to the right of the first audio track you can also disable the cross fade) https://audio-joiner.com/ Increase/decrease volume https://mp3cut.net/change-volume Trim files https://audiotrimmer.com/ Reduce background noise https://audiodenoise.com/
  18. Nice work, thank you for the research, it should help others in the future.
  19. I find you really have to make sure pieces are securely glued before applying bondo/filler, any movement before applying bondo/filler with crack, I ahd one bad area and used some JB weld as it is sandable and has held up well.
  20. Very nice, came out great, I would suggest a coat or two of a sealer, would just protect the paint from any dust or grime build up. Looking forward to seeing your next project ( you are bound to get bitten by the building bug )
  21. A great review, it's just a shame it took so long to get to you, this could have been due to Covid19 but there were some grumbles about Hellhounds as to communication and long shipping times for some time with many thinking they were no longer supplying blasters. Just looking at your photos a few things that could be improved is the air holes in the resin, a few along the right side T tracks, there is also the mold lines on the handle, under and top of barrel and top of front sight, also a bit too much weathering on the sight, should match the rest of the blaster. In saying that all round it does look like a nice blaster, hope you get plenty of trooping out of it.
  22.

  23. Looking good, you are a little close to the corners on the thigh ammo strip with the rivets though, won't be an issue for basic approval but could be mentioned at higher levels, always pays to check those reference images
