+1 And...by wearing thin cotton gloves underneath there`s no sweaty hands

That`s for EIB and for Centurion the CRL states: Ideally there`s no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. So keeping it tight as you say is the way to go

Actually...he had both - threw the DLT to Chewie and drew the E-11 from the holster and blasted away

You only need one but...two is better

Looking good

For some reason I can’t see your pics anymore

Could just be the photo, but it looks like you might have put together two inner halves, how does the other thigh look like?

Or ESB and...if you want screen accuracy the small bends on the TD are facing the other way other than that - great job

It`s belived that steelmax was used but any glue that adheres to plastic and fabric would work so E6000, hot glue, CA glue etc would work great, just keep the heat variation in mind

Did som more weathering and took it on a test-drive

Helmet is looking awesome - going to be mistaken for the original when completed

Screen accurate way is to glue the elastic directly to the armor

Both

Funny you mentioned it

Troopers helping Troopers Hoping to meet you too, heroes comic con in STHLM is coming up in september and shins are looking great

Thanks Frank

Shins complete (I think)

Good to hear you`re still on it but no rush, take the time you need and enjoy the build meaning build when you want to - we`ll be here supporting when you need help/advise

I don`t have AP myself but it`s to my understanding that the sniper knee hold some challenge when trying to put it on so you are not alone, and one way of doing it is to assamble the shin "offset" meaning raising one half and thus making the sniper knee alligne better and it will be hidden by said sniper knee...check Wook1138 AP build for more info

If you go with imgur, wich works great, after you uploaded the pics use the "direct link" and then just right-click and paste in your thread

Awesome! Welcome to the Legion Trooper

Started the weathering by using fullers earth, hairspray and a sponge...but what caught my eye was the tubestripes (had the helmet sitting on a stool) they looked way of so just wanted to show they are a pencil width all the way.....not entirely happy with them as I just free-handed them between two stripes of tape...gonna give it some thought and then redo if I feel like it Anyways...started with the shins and boots...still need to fill in some creases on the boots and under the raised edges of the shins, in generall were dirt would accumulate....the great thing by using hairspray is that you can easily remove it and start over, or go clean TK, but the same time resilient enough to stay put.....not to sure about heavy rain though so tread carefully And..going about this by using the principle of "less is more" and taking my time Too little...? Too much....? Just enough...? Comparison - and the weathering stands out more "in person" than the pics show so I guess it`s kind of hard to give feedback but wanted to share all the same

Yes Return edges - for Centurion there can’t be any on the wrist-ends, other than that it’s up to personal preference (look, comfort, mobility) having returns gives the armor the illusion of beeing thicker so try and keep some and if you plan on using the bracket-system then you need to keep a return on all the torso pieces. Some screen ref of return edges.
