Awesome place to troop, would love a wonder round there. Whilst I'm not a vet with PTSD I do struggle with crowds and busy environments, but the armour makes most of that go away. Okay I've had a few moments but the spotters did their job and got me out of there. The armour isn't just a costume, it's a whole new world that many of us other wise would not be able to join.

Here you go:

For the most part that looks pretty okay. A quick look shows naff gaskets, TD needs some more black, overlapping shoulder isn't going to fly. No idea if the seams will work or not, look at the forearm for example. Will they need filling? Helmet looks nice like always though. BE fun seeing these come in and what is needed to get them through. ps: Some of the PS cutting out on that looks rather amateur hour too. Chinese new year starts next week, IIRC. So I read that as "we've got a crap ton of these to make and we've barely made a dent. Oh and the factory will close for a week or so for Chinese new year which screws up loads of stuff coming out of china for weeks after that". I don't know what the production is like but I expect this to take months rather than the 4-6ish weeks it took for OT.

That’s more than game of thrones started on, and more than the Blackwater Bay season cost. Whilst not as crazy money like GOT has gotten to it’s atill not exactly pocket change.

Doesn’t look like the new formula has been released yet. The authorised dealers still don’t have anything in stock.

I expect that's why you were refereed to EA. Knowing what you wanted to contact them about might help.

Looks really nice, well done.

If you just want an E11 that will pass, 99% of those build changes you see don't need to be done. You could buy the resin kit, glue it together, spray it black and call it done. The only gotcha for EIB is the rear D ring (well more of a round rect) needs to be added but I did get one in the kit, even if it wasn't great. All the mods you see people do is to make up for some of the detail loss that was needed to be able to make these castings cheaply. Things like holes and deep grooves are filled in so that there's no deep holes in the mould that are prone to tearing. The longer a mould lasts, the cheaper each casting can be.

Liquid is a templating system created by Shopify to make it easier to design web shops. Anovos use Shopify to provide their web shop. Looks like there is an error in the template/software somewhere which is causing this error.

Not very historically accurate though, no horns on a viking helmet. This is a CRL thread after all!

Whilst this accuracy is all well and good when it comes down to it, this is not a replica group. I don't feel we should be enforcing the exact angle of the ear or brow height at anything less than Centurion. Troopers should, for the most part, look the same. If we're down to such minutiae as the brow gap being 5mm off or the ears being off by ~10° then I'd suggest we're already doing a pretty decent job. Provide the information, those who wish to built to it will always exist but I don't feel this level of detail should be overly enforced.

You’d need to use a translation guide, these ones came from what troopers have been using for a while. http://models2u.co.uk/downloads/PaintChart-RtoH.PDF That looks to have all the colours listed but you’d need to test them to be sure.

Matt is spot on. Looks like you didn't trim down the mouldings to just he plates before attaching them.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Those notices are just part of the original Anovos images that they used.

That link is in the members only area I am afraid. As for The shed/DA if you like them there is no reason to go with them. Lots of happy troopers in that kit all over Europe.

As Mathias has said, he may have made them but a lot of the claims and information on his site are just plain fabrication. There's plenty on this subject if you search.

Congratulations trooper!

Just to back up what others have said, no. The "completed photo" is a computer render, the photos look to be screen shots from another listing, and there's a few other issues I can see that would make clearance problematic. At best this is a poor quality recast.

Scammers like this make their money by people buying the rubbish. By even buying it even if you will refund it you’re helping them win. These scams are popping up a lot at the moment. A surprisingly large number people always say “well it’s worth a go” or “I wonder what you do get”. It’s obviously worth their while. The only winning move move is not to play.

That’s going to be a scam site. There’s a lot of them about at the moment.

https://blog.flickr.net/en/2018/11/01/changing-flickr-free-accounts-1000-photos/?utm_campaign=flickr-lookingahead&utm_source=Flickr&utm_medium=email&utm_content=1000photos Flickr are changing their free tier to limit it to 1000 images. Their reasoning is 100% fair but this may leave some of us in a pickle, I am affected with 1474 images, 474 of which will go away if I don't upgrade. Pricing is reasonable, at least this year, if you are affected and want to upgrade so it's not like the blackmail situation of Photobucket. Just a sort of heads up for anyone else that will be affected, and don't be surprised if some images start going away in Jan next year.

Do you remember what the security message was saying? We appear to be using Lets Encrypt for our SSL and they only have a 3 month life, a new one was issued yesterday so could have been related to that.

Looking at that photo of the shoulder strap it looks like the male half has come off and is still in the female half sewn to the white elastic. For the holster remove the failed rivet then use a longer one but back it up with a washer to stop it pulling through again. Alternatively you can rivet on a snap, I did this for mine. There’s a post towards the end of my build thread in my signature.

If I remember tomorrow I’ll try to go to the original and get heavy handed with some sliders and see if that reveals some more detail in the shadows. Looking at the version on Flickr it might be an S trim but that’s entirely based on detail in the shadows on the right side.
