  1. Hello everyone. First of all, please excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong place for assistance. If so please move this topic As the topic title mentions, I'm planning to work on my armour and what it currently needs to aim for EIB; Ofc these changes will be done once I end my tour in Afghanistan. These are some pictures I have from early tryouts stages. Please share your expert knowledgment; so I can do a good work on the required upgrades that I might have missed. http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag96/TK42084/558849_176869442466575_629609446_n_zps5e53a071.jpg http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag96/TK42084/77191_176869395799913_678437255_n_zpsf584eca1.jpg http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag96/TK42084/305898_176869415799911_2119972497_n_zpsf7873515.jpg It's this last one picture and the parts highlighted with red "squares" that currently worry me. Should I trim it? And the forearms, should I wide it? I'm a really skinny guy mostly because I do half-marathon(s). http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag96/TK42084/902711_179086675578185_752914940_o-Coacutepia_zps22617532.jpg I already have these on, To Do list: But please add any if you spot more. Helmet: Ear bars should have three bumps only, not four. Blaster: D-ring mounted on the rear. Correct style scope. (Wich one is this?) Btw, I already made some changes not visible on these photos: gloves (Sonnenschein); new canvas belt (Tkittel - smaller to show the 2 rivets that are not visible on photos); Holster (Purchased a Darman Holster for more accuracy on size) Thanks for any assistance you guys might provide me with, Fábio Fontoura TK 42084 Edit: Link for album if others fail: http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/TK42084/library/?sort=3&page=1
  2. Not even close to an expert here but as a "newb" I can say 100% sure that the boots are not Edit: After opening the link. I'm pretty sure you're heading for a real mess if you're thinking about this. Helmet decals are "jumping" off, everything looks so weird mate. Avoid it imo. Wait for wiser words from the people that know alot better than me.
  3. Thank you replying. One question, if I cut the excess below the muzzle on the holster; that will present the muzzle itself. Wont that be another issue? Thanks once again. I'm just a newbie searching for help.
  4. Hello fellow troopers. I have a question regarding EIB requirements and my current ANH TK belt. I followed this reference image - http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/image/2469-anhholsterplacement01/ - for holster rivet(s) placement for Hero version. My issue is related with the 4 rivets on the belt being visible(?). Im a thin person and when I bought the belt from TKittel, I'm afraid I bought it just a little bigger than it should be (my fault). I'm now worried this might be a problem for EIB requirements. This image might show my concern: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=176869452466574&set=a.111236052363248.20169.100004305612580&type=3&theater Can you please have a look and tell me your toughts? Should I buy new and shorter belt? Should I just cut the extra canvas in order to show the 2 hidden rivets? Thank you all in advance.
  5. Yes ofc. We're not making a discussion out of this =) Cheers
  6. As matter of fact: He won, with some restrictions ofc. Such as not allowed to sell to US Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12910683
  7. Worthwhile for EU troopers imo. For US it's not as Originalstormtrooper doesnt ship to US.
  8. Hey, you bought a new belt from SDS?
  9. Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that today I bought the materials and the small issue is now sorted. Thank you once again for the help provided.
  10. Thank you, I'll try to sandpaper it. Any material recommended for polish after the sandpaper? Tips appreciated
  11. Good evening everyone. After purchasing armour, I recently started to work on it by gluing parts and for a newbie first timer, I'm quite happy with final result. Except for my right calf where the other day I noticed I had a partial (small) printing of one of my ?fingers?. Is there a way I can remove this wihthout damaging it and compromisse the final result? The armour itself came with MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone) but Im kinda hesitating to try to remove it, with it. Any help is pretty much appreciated. Thank you for reading!
