[RS Bicep Modification]

Hi everyone, thanks for the input!

 

I am reaching out to RS to see about getting replacements.

[RS Bicep Modification]

Got my RS commission (ANH) recently and have a buddy take some photos of me suited up (reference below).

 

 

The main problem is that the biceps are very tight on me and are about as far up my arm as I can get them (they also make suiting up almost impossible to do on my own).

I was thinking of removing all the return edges to try and buy more space, but I am not sure that will help much.  Other option I was looking at was to space out the biceps slightly by placing some cover strips on the inside of the biceps to make them bigger (Saw a post about it from Joseph). Picture below of how the current return edges look on the biceps (pretty much identical for both).

 

 

 

 

 

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I noticed that your brow also is a bit long. That’s typical for rs. I’d cut the brow back a little, it shouldn’t keep you from basic but still want to be as accurate as possible.

Thanks for the feedback!

Any advice on how I should go about trimming the brow? Do I need to take it off and then cut or can I do it while it’s on the helmet?

Are you wearing the body suit RS supplied, or a compression sport wear? 

I am wearing the RS body suit.

First off, nice work, looking good, just a couple of  tweaks you could address.

Notice your left shoulder is sitting up more than the right, is should also sit over the bicep, not quite correct on the right either, just compare to the CRL image below, you may need to shorten those straps. Also the forearms need to rotate inwards, the cover strips should line up on the biceps and forearms.

 

You have one drop box being pushed backwards.

 

Slightly different gap at the top of the thighs, rotate the right thigh inwards.

 

 

Left shoulder strap on rear sitting under back plate, could be the issue with your shoulder sitting up high  

 

Everything else looks pretty good to me, trying to get the correct look while wearing the costume is hard and does help if you have someone on had that knows the costume.

 

A couple of tweaks and you should be ok, good luck with approval.

 

Hi Glen, thanks for the feedback!

 

The biceps are very tight and are pretty much as far up my arm as I can get them. I am hoping that bringing the shoulders down and closer to my body will allow the overlap. The shoulders look much closer in the reference than what I have (especially that left one ).

I had a buddy help me out with the pictures and I can already see some problems with the dressing I should have addressed during the pictures .

The big problem I am having at the moment are the biceps being rather small (they are pushed up about far as I can get them). Any ideas on how I can increase the sizing? This is an RS commission.

This is a great idea Joseph! 

 

I have reached out to my SCO regarding this.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.  

 

I will definitely be pursuing level 3 with the set of armor.  Joseph has put me in touch with some local members who have level 3. 

 

Looking forward to meeting my local squad.

Hello,

 

I have been looking around these forums for a little while now, soaking in the wealth of information available (there is soooo much).

Earlier this week I finally pulled the trigger on an RS commission for ANH style TK.

 

I am very excited to get the armor and start trooping! I have already made contact with the Florida garrison and my associated squad (Makaze).

Looking forward to meeting my fellow TKs in a couple months!
