  1. Looks fantastic Matt, good luck with EIB application , Centurion next. You did a much better job on the internal strapping than I did [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] I use Tapatalk on my iPhone /iPad to post my pics , it’s really easy to do [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Hi Matt, Your armour looks amazing, you have a beautiful set of RS armour. The photo check list for EIB is below Good luck mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Your armour looks fantastic Matt, now for EIB and then Centurion:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I enjoy watching your build threads Christine, I really don’t know how you rebuild your return edges, I’ve tried it on scrap pieces of abs only to make a complete mess of it, I’m clearly missing something.... my wife would second that .... lol... Seriously, as always you are doing an amazing job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. No... I need to get a move in, is there still room on the 17th? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Congratulations Matt, it’s a fantastic feeling when you get your armour cleared. Well done mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Congratulations mate, when and where Dan ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. As above Jack, teeth looking great, just be gentle with those files you have, re the eyes just a tad more to take off if you want the clean look, have a break and comeback to it tomorrow.... when I made mistakes it was always when I pushed on doing stuff when it really was time to stop, or when I was in a rush, just take your time, it’s looking good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hi Jack, those lines are looking good, as Dan says, line them both up to double check before you cut. The line on the cap part where the brow trim goes looks spot on . Nice work mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Jack, the teeth are looking good, the second one in from centre on the right is perfect, the centre right one could have a tad more removed, left centre right is almost perfect. Regarding the eyes, looking good mate, draw a pencil line around the edge where the side meets the back ... see pics below And the teeth Hope this helps mate, you are doing a fantastic job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Hi Jack, the pencil lines look like a good start for the eyes, once that part is cut out you can sand them down with the Dremel to get them closer to the edge, just take your time, but by bit and you will get there , it took me ages to get my eyes right. Re the rough cut around the brow, it needs trimming back to just below the ridge , where you have already started to cut it too. Good luck mate, I’m really looking forward to this build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Congratulations Tony , that’s a well deserved result Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I used poppers on the thighs as well Dave, i taped the male poppers in place on the thigh first so I could move them up /down to get the right fit before gluing them It’s coming together really nicely Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Those brackets are amazing [emoji4] I did take a photo of my right forearm, I did trim the curved bit, hopefully these will help It’s difficult to see the original curve on the inner piece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I had difficulty with my RS right forearm, the inner piece was too long And also like you, the glaring out of the elbow, I did trim it back a bit, but don’t have a pic, will take one later for you. Also from memory this was a really difficult part to glue together, I fitted an internal cover strip on the front first, then it needed to be held in place with tape to get the back to line up, then glued an inner cover strip at the rear ...... and like you, it was taken apart because it wasn’t quite right..... thank goodness for E6000 glue Your build is looking good, how is you kid held on the wall? I couldn’t see a bracket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Hope your wife doesn’t read this Matt...... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Nice one marra [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]you have really got through this build quickly and your armour is looking great , you have done a beautiful job on your buttons Nice one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thanks Matt, not long for you now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I use a good quality car polish on mine, auto glym .... works a treat , oh and T Cut before the polish if it’s scuffed [emoji4]T cut is a car paint restorer we get in the U.K. , so anything like that should be ok followed up by a good old polish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  20. Wow, that’s looking great Matt, get your garrison clearance, but also apply for your 501st ID now, as the clearance in interlinked to you getting your TKID, then once cleared apply for EIB and then Centurion..... Your armour looks amazing mate [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  21. I did all my sewing by hand.... and yes.... it shows.... lol Looking forward to the pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Oh and aiming for Centurion from the off is definitely the right thing to do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I’ve just completed my RS armour and achieved Centurion this week. I didn’t alter my kidney notches, left them as RS made them. I had similar problems to you longing the kidney and butt pieces up, however when strapped together it actually fitted much better then when placed on the bench Make sure the ridge in the back of the kidney and butt line up This is how the butt / kidney notch looked originally .... please note the kidney and ab are not longed up correctly And now after being strapped Hope this helps Have a look at some RS build threads on here, they should help ... this is my build thread... https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/40087-stephens-rs-anh-stunt-build-wip-for-small-people/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. It’s E6000 for me, as I can pull everything apart if I mess something up.... which happens quite often .... doh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. You have done a beautiful job of the painting Matt , and those tube stripes..... perfect mate.... perfect. I must admit I love the rough wonky finish to my RS lid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
