TheDarkJedi_67 ANH Stunt Build Thread
gmrhodes13 replied to TheDarkJedi_67's topic in ANH Build Threads
I would remove them as they are not accurate, the back of the TD is not seen so having some holes there shouldn't be a problem. Correct TD clips; Correct sizing of pipe and placement -

Research is the key, there is a lot of information on these forums, the search function works quite well, also when in doubt ask or check the gallery sections, photos don't lie

Yes that would work

Hello and welcome aboard good luck with the research

Is now a good time to start a build?
gmrhodes13 replied to TK Monkus's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
You will find with bending (to give younglings hi fives) that your torso will move too, having elastic does make a difference. But saying that it's not that hard to swap out elastic or nylon if using snaps so build how you want and modify later. Many of us find after our first troop or 2 that we make some adjustments with strapping. -

Nice work, you may want to add a strip of scrap ABS behind so the left thigh ridge gap so it looks closed or you could use some ABS paste Looks like the right lower strip is sticking up at the bottom?

gmrhodes13 replied to TK Monkus's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I found nylon can be quite restrictive myself, especially the more you want to move around, elastic definitely allows more movement. -
You can also make your own tube strip templates Also take note of the direction of the fall of the stripes at the front, they lean forward at the tops

Nice work on the updates, rivet and snap placements look good Just a few things you may want to consider, a lot of sides of pieces are very rough, you could use a block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around the help sand them flat, shoulder straps, ab plates, edge of some armor pieces. Also the smaller ab plate could be trimmed a little more. You appear to have some area around the rivet on thigh thigh ammo strip which could do with some ABS paste, sand and polish. Also on the other side of the thigh ammo strip you have some residue of glue I think on the shin ridge. Also you could reduce the width of the thigh ammo strip, you only need an edge of @3mm yours it quite wide on the bottom, this may also get rid of the cut line on the left side The lines on the cheek traps are very fine and could be a little thicker. Appears you also have some residue under the ears? Also top rear traps should be squared on the lower corners not rounded as you have them. Take note also that the reference shows the inner lines to be quite square top and bottom while yours are very rounded

FNG, no wait... FTL900 TK ANH build thread.
gmrhodes13 replied to FTL900's topic in ANH Build Threads
Stunt version ANH blaster has the counter and power cylinders on the opposite side This version ANH blaster was for Hero's, also used in ESB (Empire Strikes Back) so you would have to add pieces to it Luke Hero ESB (and even then there where different versions) There are differences so research is advisable -
FNG, no wait... FTL900 TK ANH build thread.
gmrhodes13 replied to FTL900's topic in ANH Build Threads
Each of the Original Trilogy films have E-11's which are different in each of the movies, the one you purchased is a Return of the Jedi version, you will need A New Hope version, links in above post of the differences -
A lot of people add the inner strip, I do to all of the builds I have done, shins do get a lot of flex over time opening and closing so extra support can help prevent cracking. You don't have to add them if you don't want too
