Finally starting my kit .......advice?
gmrhodes13 replied to jason14x's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
Great stuff, looking forward to seeing your build progress For tools -
You can trim the curved section a little straighter
-
Personally if it's more original screen used version I would go RS
-
5'10 fits in with all the armors mentioned
-
Not a lot of people have done the magnet way as yet so I've not heard a lot of feedback. Velcro is good as long as you have nice fitting shin closures, may need water bath to get them sitting right. Here's a few magnet builds
-
Looks like your mesh is a little too fine, you may need to replace it if seeking higher approval With the rivets it is best to fit them before painting or you can damage the paint applying them
-
Always best to research the armor and see if it meets the higher CRL's, I've had a search for DA props and there is one approved at centurion Price is a big factor as well as your size. There is also the durability of armor, I have ATA which is very thick and only sufferer 2 cracks over 7 years of trooping, yet I know someone with RS who has a lot more cracks as it's thinner armor. Troopermaster has a very nice kit on par with RS but unfortunately due to an issue is no longer on this forum, you would have to deal with via FB or email. There are some great builds of most if not all armors available so have a look through some of the build threads to see size, quality and peoples feedback. Good luck which ever you decide.

Been collecting figures for years and found some had faces but a lot don't and only have a ball under the helmet, thought a few looked pretty close to me so added the goatee and done.

You can find many oddities and one off's in most of the movies, no surprise we see it even now, but the general/majority overall look is what is used as reference at the end of the day

TK-57899 ANH Stunt Requesting EIB Status [1012]

You can find many oddities and one off's in the movies but we try to give feedback on the general/majority overall look These are only suggestions too, it's the DO's that make the final decisions -
No those are the ones I made in the picture, I don't think he does the face. You can find him on FB and see what he offers there https://www.facebook.com/TD5491PhenixCustoms/photos

Lord_Potato's Walt's Trooper Factory ANH TK Build (COMPLETE)
gmrhodes13 replied to Lord_Potato's topic in ANH Build Threads
Ear looks much better, well done -
Nice work, well done
-
Nice work (again) A couple of things you could adjust to really make you stand out (only suggestions) Ideally, the screws of the thermal detonator sit closer to the end of the clips and end closest to control panel are not rounded. This is not a big deal and would involve trimming or replacing the clips. We consider it's worth mentioning. Reference Images You could also remove the curved area from the inner section of your sniper plate Good luck approval, although I doubt you'll need it

Correct you will find once you are approved (and request higher access) you will be able to enter the merchandise sections here and on the main legion boards, hopefully that's not too far away
-
Just be careful with hot glue, it may distort the plastic as it is cooling, I'd suggest using tape to hold in place. I have some extra straps set aside with snaps positioned in several places, I use these to get the spacing right when building others armor
-
Personally I prefer elastic and double snaps, the elastic allows a bit of give when moving and the double snaps so you have a spare if one fails
-
You can, there is a member who makes them https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1014485#1014485 I did my own as the postage would have been a killer, still have to do the card for my FOTK

Original strapping Right arm, notice strapping is on the top Example
-
Won't be an issue for centurion, many have used them, even myself
-
Looking good
