Two quick questions from a newbie builder.
TK Goatee replied to BlitherPaladin's topic in ESB Stormtrooper
In Detail you need to change the following: - Helmet needs decals on the Tubes, Traps and tears and it needs a new black, not grey frown painting. So you need to remove almost all paintings from the helmet - the holster needs to be attached on the right side with loops. The belt should not be riveted to the belt - you need to replace the ANH Handguards with the specific ESB Handguards All these changes are doable. I did the same to my anovos armor. ;-) Hope this helps. Gesendet von iPad mit Tapatalk -
Rogue One Stormtrooper Back Pack part found

LC2 is only a newer revision of the LC1. No other differences as far as I know. Both come in different sizes. Sent from a galaxy, far, far away -

TK Goatee replied to TK Goatee's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
So here's my final modification. The Buttplate needed a hot water bath. The Sides stuck out to much. But I could only pull in 1cm per side. Not much, but it looks better now: Before: After: Next thing I'll post are the application Photos for my Centurion Status.... -

5'5" vs Anovos WIP (ESB wannabe Centurion)
TK Goatee replied to TK Goatee's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
It's been a while since my last update. One thing I forgot to mention is I trimmed the lower return edge of the butt plate (sorry no pics , yet). Much better fit now Here's a comperison pic of the front. Left is before and right is after the modifications I made till now: Only modification I still need to make at the moment is the fitting of the butt plate. But that really gives me a headache. It always slides over the kidney plate, when moving. Still working on this issue, to get it fixed. And I also need to give the butt plate a hot water bath, to get it closer/tighter to my body(butt). Still peeking out on the sides Updates coming soon (hopefully). I want my Centurion (add "Money for nothing" melody here) -
Yes, just send him a mail. Mate answers fast. I already purchased the files. Taking a detail look at them today.

That really looks awesome. Very nice build. Keep it up, you are there soon.

You need to pull the belt really thight around you waist, so it won't pull down at the back/side and then pop off on the front.<br> Another thing to think about is Velcro, between belt and ab armor.<br> Hope this helps.

MƔtƩ uploaded the file to sketchfab for further examination ;-) https://sketchfab.com/models/ce8a6e64b78143568ac80c3f740f29e4 Looks awesome.....

The Single "Button" on the ab is no Button. It's square shaped.<br><br> Edit reason: Too slow ;-)

No Problem. Just helping ;-)

No the CRL is not wrong:

5'5" vs Anovos WIP (ESB wannabe Centurion)
TK Goatee replied to TK Goatee's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Thank you Andrew. I do the best I can Here's one major mod I did before Comic Con. It addresses the issue -> Fix the overall look and fit of the armor (Chest, Back, Butt): I had a little overlap at the back: and the chest could come up a little: Here's the suggestion , Andrew gave me, to pull up the backplate a bit: But to get the Chest up a bit, I did a little test fitting and came up with the following mod: Red lines needed to be trimmed and the yellow one shows that I had to pull down the shoulderstraps. With these changes I could pull up both, back and chest a little more. But I also needed to trim down the top chest neck area, because otherwise it would be cutting in my throat. 1st step -> trim the Backplate (sorry no before pic): 2nd step -> trim the front neck area on the chestplate: Before and after interior: Before and after exterior: 3rd step -> remove shoulder strap and trim shoulder bridge from the chestplate: Top: Shoulderstrap removed / Middle: Chest cleaned / Below: Chest trimmed: 4th step -> get everything together again: Top: before / Below: final chest: When you take a close look at the inner returnedge of the neck area, you can see how much I trimmed off. I'll try to make some new pics, me wearing the "new" armor. So you all can see the major change -

I had an awesome time at comic con Germany in Stuttgart. I had my armor on for almost 9 hours. No real issues while trooping. Not even armor bites ;-) <br> So back to topic. Centurion is waiting :-) -

I'll be at the Comic Con in Stuttgart tomorrow. So that will be a perfect opportunity to test, the changes I already made. -

TK Goatee replied to TK Goatee's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
OK. Next up is the following objective: Fix the overall look of the armor (Shins): This one was an easy task. Just needed to trim some off of the bottom: I decided to trim both sides, to keep the look and feel ;-) I like the result: Next step: optimize the overall look of the armor. In particular the chest, back und butt. -

TK Goatee replied to TK Goatee's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
It looks like this really worked well for me. I reironed the return edge to get them aligned. Here are some pics (Left:before / Right:after): I think I made a good job. What do you think ? -

Thanks guys, I let you know how it turns out and post some pics. Because if there are no pics, it never happened ;-) -
I just got my EIB approval a week ago. Thanks to Andrew one more time. -> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/37618-tk-71715-requesting-esb-eib-status-anovos-595/ But you all know, after the approval is before the approval ;-) So here are the challenges I have to accomplish, to be part of the Centurion ranks: "The trimmed too short forearm coverstrips" Fix the overall look of the armor (trimming and restrapping the Chest, Back, Kidney, Butt, Shims) Things not recognized right now So to get started, I will first focus on what Andrew pointed out: "the too short forearm coverstrips" Here's the issue: For a fast and easy remedy I've got two options: 1. Remove the return edge and trim the high corners off the elbow end of the fore arms, or 2. make longer cover strips but still remove some of the return edging, specially those sharp corners. I'm planing on a third option (I hope it's OK for Centurion): 3. Iron down the high corners and get the return edge aligned. Here some pics: But this option will change the overall look of the forarms a little. Is this mod OK when planing on going Centurion? Please let me know if this is a "no go" for Centurion or not. Thanks...
