    I would really go with proper decals if I were to do an ESB helmet as the grey is different from ANH. It is a much more blueish/colder grey. You can PM FISD member Verne for them. He's selling a very good set of ESB decals. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/user/8340-verne/

    So much better with the correct arm strapping! Great job, you are pretty much close to perfection
  3. The5thHorseman
    Yes, i guess it would not matter that much for a sandtrooper if the ABS is not shiny. And please once you received it, feel free to open a thread here. I'm very curious about this armor and I'm sure some others are too.
  4. The5thHorseman
    Definitely ABS. The acrylic capped ABS will be shinny while i guess the regular will be flat. So I would recommand the acrylic capped even though it might be more expensive.

    Yes, the whole armor looks very RS-TM -ish. Very screen-accurate in other words. Maybe he has made the alterations himself starting from a TE suit, i don't know. But, Simon, this armor feels quite better than ATA. Do you know which material and thickness is used for the vacuum-forming?
  6. The5thHorseman
    Wow, that's the very, very first time i ever heard of this maker. Looking at the pictures you've posted the armor looks far more accurate than ATA. Chest plate, thighs, forearms, shoulder bells... everything is better. Which of course leads me to wonder that constant same question: recaster?

    I can't resist to share that from the amazing Billy Haggis of the UKG:
  8. The5thHorseman
    Seems like they're where they should be. Let's hope the glue arrives soon .
  9. The5thHorseman
    Interesting to note that she seems to have a double chest plate: And thanks for the pictures Billy! I was wondering where the UKG was on the TFA stuff . I can't wait to see pictures of your armor kit.
  10. The5thHorseman
    I have not paid attention to that . But five sounds prety much right.
  11. The5thHorseman
    Seems like it's going to be a good recovery. I didn't even think about gluing back in place the ABS piece, nicely done!
  12. The5thHorseman
    Glad to hear you can fix it. Man, those thighs will have given you a lot of work!
  13. The5thHorseman
    Like Paul is saying: crossing fingers for you!

    If you look at this guy, you can see that the left hand side (holster side) of his belt overlaps the right hand side. So nice of him to have his thermal detonator kicked off so we can have a look .
  15. The5thHorseman
    They're looking good for sure then!
  16. The5thHorseman
    Love that wood paintwork. It's looking very convincing!
  17. The5thHorseman
    Ouch, I really hoped you didn't already start working these new lines... I'm afraid I have to tell you that only the left hand thigh has clear notch at the top. The right hand thigh has a very much softer notch (if you can call that a notch at all).

    I could help you by taking measurements from the ones I bought from Karin but I don't know if would be okay regarding her. However, you can forget about that "Hero handguard" idea. You can see several Stunts wearing that handguard style throughout ANH.
  19. The5thHorseman
    Both are correct but I personally prefer the Left-hand side over Right-hand side.
  20. The5thHorseman
    Yes, I'm still wondering about that too. It feels even more questionable when you know that you can have access to almost hundreds of pictures of the ANOVOS kit in the photo reference gallerie. So I don't know what they are protecting.
  21. The5thHorseman
    It was great to follow your build thread Richard. I don't see anything to modify aside from what you're already planning to do. Beautiful set of armor, good luck with approval! Just think about posting a close-up of the D-ring on your blaster to avoid delaying your application.
  22. The5thHorseman
    I'd say ten is the top limit. It's the most I've seen on an original helmet: Otherwise, there's no precise amount to respect. It depends on the steadiness of your hand .
  23. The5thHorseman
    Original armors had 20mm cover stripes at the back of the thighs and 25mm on the shins. So don't be worried, it won't look wrong. Just the way it should be.
  24. The5thHorseman
    Haha, nice! Why am I even trying to help you? You seem to be doing fine on your own .
  25. The5thHorseman
    Well, one thing's for sure: before removing anything about the length of the forearm, wait for it to be fully enclosed, strapped and tested in action to see it it's really an issue. Then It will be the time to think about that. To me it looks quite fine right now.
