Top job, Dominic. Well done. -
John9689 Requesting Pre-Approval Review
CableGuy replied to Johnson9689's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Hi John, We’d be happy to look over it for you. Could you possibly upload some more pictures, ideally higher resolution, from all angles? Hopefully close ups of helmet, blaster, thermal detonator etc. too. Best wishes, Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Congrats. Welcome aboard.

Amazing job, Jeremy. Those gaps at the wrists look spot on now!! Otherwise, looks like you’re good to go!! Btw, love the lid. Frown paint looks in keeping with many stunt helmets. Looks spot on.

Hi Jeremy, Looking really good!! Great job :-) Just a couple of really small things I noticed. 1/ it looks like your right arm (left from front in pics) is higher than your left arm, leaving a bigger gap near the glove. 2/ you could possibly rotate your biceps by an inch or so to line up the side detail through shoulder, bicep, forearm. Superb looking armour on you! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those coverstrips are looking nice, (to my eyes). Regarding the gap between the bicep and the forearm, you’ll probably be best to work that out when your shoulder and gloves are ready. This way, you can look to achieve nice even gaps based on what you have. Nice gaps on Han’s suit: Just out of interest, are the top of the biceps comfortable? I see you’ve left a lot of return edge which looks like it could lead to some discomfort. It could also push your shoulder bells out due to the extra thickness. As this will be under the shoulder bell, you could get away with a lot less return, as per the pics that Tony shared, if you wanted. Just a thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

TK-13838 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (SDS) [816]
CableGuy replied to Suso-T's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Well done, Suso. Welcome to the ranks. -
Hi Tony, Just for clarity, (myself and anyone else reading), the thigh piece you’ve referenced appears to be the same thigh from the RS suit that I referenced early in the thread where I suggested 45 degree angles on the cover strips for a more screen accurate appearance. When we zoom in on those pieces, and others on the RS suit, it appears that most pieces had the ‘intention’ of a 45 degree cut (give or take). When I’ve looked online, a chamfer appears to be describing a type of bevel at 45° angle to two adjoining right-angled faces. Am I right that you are just confirming that whilst some cover strips are cut with 45 degree corners, others (like the elbow end of the forearm that you pictured) are cut to conform to the relevant armour piece, not strictly 45 degrees? Thanks in advance. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which way does the forearm armor go?
CableGuy replied to TK11057's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Although with thinner elastics, I also followed the Billhags diagram (very similar positioning to the originals) and it works well in terms of alignment and flexibility. Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Blaze 462 Requesting Pre Approval Review (AP)
CableGuy replied to Blaze462's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Looking smart, Mike! On the face of it, great job!! Can't see any obvious concerns. (I'm sure other eyes will look over your work soon too). Feel free to throw in some pics of your helmet (close up) and blaster if you want us to have a look. Dan -
Hi dUber, Firstly, welcome to the community. We would be happy to guide you into the world of all things Trooper!! Regarding the picture you've shared, by the looks of the large kidney plate and the moulded ab buttons, I'd possibly guess that it's a derivative of TKUK. As such, I'd certainly suggest that you check out the vetted armour makers here: There's a whole host of information here too: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. there is a lot of knowledge on these boards to help you get an awesome set of armour. :-) Dan

TK57996 requesting ESB centurion status (AP) [388]
CableGuy replied to Calimero's topic in Request Centurion Status
Think you’ll be fine with that. Good job. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Hi mate (me again) lol Looking great! You didn’t waste any time going from EIB to Centurion - I like it! :-) Just a couple of dressing issues that you might find raised. Maybe worth a couple of new pics if you wanted too. I’d just reference the ab and kidney plates not lining up. A little tweaking whilst kitted up should sort that. Your holster has popped off in side pics. The belt could happily come up a little, touching the ab buttons, for that added screen used look. As below. Good luck mate!!

hollowbodies' first build : ANH Stunt TK (AP)
CableGuy replied to hollowbodies's topic in ANH Build Threads
Did somebody call for the Tube Stripe Police?? ;-) Yeah, that looks good. Based on the Dave M lid, the front stripes lean forward, like you have it displayed, almost ending up parallel to the line of the frown. Sheriff out... ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hiya. I’m loving my TRamp system. It’s not the cheapest in the world but it’s all in one unit, easy to use and sounds GREAT! Here’s a little demo I did with mine: Or here (skip to around 12mins): Here’s a link to their Facebook page you’re interested. Excellent service and an awesome piece of kit. :-) https://www.facebook.com/trooperamp/ Best wishes. Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
