  1. Ok, I get what you are saying but why would they make the modified inner parts to be longer than the actual outer parts. You would think that they would try to keep the look of the orginal armour's inner (short) and outer (long) parts? Is this the same with the RS suit?
  2. Shin gate continues - looking at a picture of the back of a left shin from the lucasfilm archives, the longer piece is on the outside?
  3. Ok, let's talk forearms. The left and right forearms are obviously different, this is good as so we're the originals. The left forearm parts align perfectly. The right forearms is a different matter altogether. The inner part is considerably shorter than the outer part. I have seen many threads where builders have cut the wrist of the outer part to make the two parts align. I could do this to solve the problem. However, the parts as sent by Anovos were obviously meant to mis-align, going by the trim lines and the return edge that the trim lines would have left on.<br><br> We're the originals misaligned like this, if the mould was based on original suits then the answer should be an easy yes, or did Anovos get it wrong and made the inner forearm too small?
  4. I was just wondering if we were forewarned by FebEx about the charges? I think that I have been charged about £70
  5. I don't remember seeing anything about import costs when my BBB got delivered. Also the FedEx delivery costs seems to be less than what we were charged by Anovos?
  6. A couple of random questions from my curious brain:<br><br> Can anyone point me to the history of the Anovos sculpt, what armour/helmet is it based off?<br><br> And, vacformed or injection moulded?
  7. I think that I actually meant shorter, although they would have been captured and then another group would have had to go and rescue them, perhaps this is wheare Tag & Bink would have come into the story.
  8. But it is an option and its a lot harder to undo if you haven't used E6000. If we are trying to future proof the progression of armour to centurian standards then we need to ensure that new recruits don't start thier build in this way, as to take apart fitted armour with overlaps will inevitably reduce the size or the armour parts and make it difficult to rebuild with cover strips? I would say that this should be pretty fundamental to the build of centurian standard (ie screen accurate) armour. To me it is vastly more important to having 'slightly scuffed' boots or how the shoulders should be strapped
  9. Has this been discussed elsewhere and I've missed it or is it not a valid question?
  10. It wuld have been a much longer film if Luke didn't have the grappling hook, it would be an interesting 'what if' scenario.
  11. Somehow I have a helmet that is larger than an RT-Mod but with the same accurate look, if the RT doesn't work out drop me a message and we can work something out. But hopefully the RT-will be fine.
  12. Quick question about the PVC ab plate, my plate has a divit on either side of the right side oblong detail, is this a feature of the armour? Scrap that, some of the armour, the back plate especially,have almost evenly spaced divots, I'm trying to work out if they were a feature of the armour or just air bubbles?
  13. Here's a question that I have been pondering for a while, and please move this to another thread if its more appropriate, but why is it not mentioned in the CRL (probably for Centurian) that cover strips should be used instead of the overlap method?
  14. Awesome build and awesome suit, y0ou must be one happy trooper.
  15. Did your ad plate have little divots by the small oblong detail on the right hand side, as mine has this?
  16. Just checking are we clear that these are brass colour and not nickel or chrome/silver? As the one on the cod doesn't seem to be brass?

    A Salute to TM

    TM rocks, he is a real gent.
  18. Jesse, I really love this build buddy, you have done an outstanding job and I will use it as a guide for when I get the nerve to tackle my new kit. One question though, as its driving me mad, are the trim lines you penciled onto the ab section in the right place as I am having a hard time finding the 'bend' line in the pictures?
  19. I've just received my set of RS props PVC armour and for me it was also a tough choice, if money is no option buy both
  20. I received my first weekly update on 16/01 Saying that my armour was being formed that week but I haven't heard anything since? But they have been active on fb so that might be the way to get in contact?
