  2. Bucket padding long shot..

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    Posted

    Hello @justjoseph63. I think that helmet is from a hot toys (sideshow collectibles) figure, specifically for a 2009 comic-con exclusive figure. I found on Facebook someone who makes these interiors. You can take an eye on it, and see if it's what you're looking for. I will pass the info to you privately, and if you consider it is valid and can be shared with all members, you can post it here later.;)

  4. Requesting Pre-approval for Rogue One TK (3d print)

    in Request TK Pre-Approval

    Posted

    hace 5 horas, Klaymorr dijo:

    Hello again,  I'm new to this so I'm not sure how long a Pre Approval takes.  I can add more pictures if needed or info on how I made the armor.  Let me know.

    I would be happy with any input, good, bad or ugly. 

    Thank you 

     

    Hi Steve. As Caleb rightly says, at the end of the day, your local GML (Garrison Membership Liaison) will be the one to give final basic approval. However, the DO team, are now discussing this "internally", and will be able to give you some feedback shortly.:jc_doublethumbup:.

     

    Thank you for your patience!:salute:

  8. Matt and James's TK build thread - AM 4.5

    Hi Matt. The armor looks better than you think....:jc_doublethumbup:

    Yes, it has small details to fix, but overall, it looks great.

    Apart from what you mentioned, I would add a couple of minor details, thinking mostly about the upper levels.

     

    -The left forearm is slightly rotated, and the right forearm could be lowered a little to match the left one. Very easy;)

     

    TrzW8fz.png

     

     

     

    -You could raise the belt a little, and keep an eye on the drop box placement.

    • The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels.
    • Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box.

    -The TD could be lowered a little more. It looks like the clips were not in place. 

    Also, you could turn it a bit to the front, as for basic, the CRL states the following:

     

    The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap.

    These are small details that are easy to fix. 
    As I said, the armor looks great...Congratulations!

  12. TK-28823 Requesting ANH (Stunt) EIB Status - (TM) (1053)

    in Request Expert Infantry Status

    Posted

    Hi Galton, and THANKS for your submission for ANH Stunt EI!

     

    CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

    All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry.  Congratulations!  :salute:

     

    Other-Armor Fit/Assembly;

    In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team.  Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that  we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.

     

    Congratulations Galton. You have a great looking suit of armor. We're just going to add a few things that will make it definitely PERFECT.:duim:

     

    Let's start with the helmet.

     

    - This is a very common issue.;). The screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. 

    The right ear could be improved a little. The left ear is perfect:jc_doublethumbup:.

     

                                                                                                                                                                             Reference images

    cwUiPla.jpg   9bJdzKw.jpg                    qdZeHpP.jpg   8xlWFlJ.jpg   wcYujEl.jpg

     

     

    -Your helmet seems to be riding a little high. Maybe you have too much padding on the top. You could remove a little of that padding. so the helmet will lower a little.

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Reference images

    uz2qPEg.jpg   S3gA7j0.jpg        lWN15kU.png    tZUuh7f.png

     

     

    - You could try to get a better arch in your straps with a hot water bath....Doing this would allow them to ride closer to the back plate so they won't protrude out, and put less strain on the elastic strap. You will also prevent them from getting caught on something and breaking.:jc_doublethumbup:

     

                                                                                                                                                   Reference images

    114zjVH.jpg                    I580cCf.jpg   ACTwld3.jpg   MJuOFKd.jpg

     

     

    -One small dressing issue here. The right forearm is a little high than the left. It's very little, but if you lower it you'll avoid the bite in the back.:laugh1:

     

    Front                                                                            Back                                                                                     Reference image

    Qznih4f.jpg   MbxoGmR.jpg                 n938OSK.png   

     

     

    -Ideally the screws of the TD should sit closer to the ends of the clips.

     

                                                                                                                                                  Reference images  

    ZVAXvN8.jpg                          qx7NEjw.png   PNEgG5u.png   5LuR0Le.png   

     

     

    -For a better look, we recommend trimming the edge on both sides of the sniper knee, so that it is aligned with the "bottom edge" and looks more screen-accurate. Very easy fix!!!:)

     

                                                                                                                                                                         Reference images

    J7DJuat.jpg   xNox3lg.jpg             MZFx9IW.png   p9BwNIo.png   

     

     

    -Also, some  strap, Velcro or similar is sticking out :icon_eek:. You can cut it or bend it inward so that it is not visible.;)

     

                                                                                                                                                                      Reference images

    Centurion Requirements:

    In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval.  Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.

     

     

    -L3. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top.  In another photo (you can see it in the next point), the position was correct. You may just need to tighten the straps a bit to prevent it from moving. :jc_doublethumbup:.

     

                                                                                                                                    Reference images

    kHCj2Sr.jpg                        ICtQbll.png   4Le4CZc.png

     

     

    -L3. Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. The gap is minimal. Just tighten the belt a little bit and you're done :peace:

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Reference images

    JzmALI0.jpg    Gl7aBjA.jpg            JQtAzbi.png     ICtQbll.png

     

     

    -L3. The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Many people put some Velcro on the rear of the belt to prevent it from moving down. ;)

     

                                                                                                                                                                          Reference images

    lOUJIZ8.jpg                xBdwWlP.jpg     Q2X9NlL.jpg   

     

     

    - L3. T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed. There appears to be some weathering on the grip. A coat of black paint and it' s done.

     

                                                                                                                                                      Reference images

    ytfIugO.jpg   j3PVQgE.jpg                   PIgrHnk.jpg    qfDCdfP.jpg

     

     

     

     

    And that's all Galton. A few minor easy fixes and your armor will be ready for the Centurion request. :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:

    I am not at all trying to lawyer or argue here, I want to make sure that's clear. I will likely do this soon anyway as I very much agree that it would bring the bucket up another small notch. :salute:

     

    HOWEVER.

     

    This isn't listed in the Centurion Requirements section, right? It's just a suggestion? I ask because I noticed it was specifically not added to the HWT CRL. The latest update to it included the bit about 3D print lines being removed on the pack, but that was the only change. The ear/screw alignment is not present in the CRL nor is the rear thigh/knee gap update.

     

    Sooo.... do I have to relocate ear screws for Centurion?

     

     

     

    :dancing-trooper::wub:

     

     

    Hello Adam. Yes, it's just a suggestion;). Well, as you well know, not everything we ask for is included in the CRL ("we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions"). The "base" armor is what it is, and this is how it is reviewed:laugh1:...

    Anyway, the ear/screw alignment will not be a mandatory requirement for Centurion, unless the helmet looks really bad:blush:.  It is included in the reviews as our protocol requires us to have some consistency, and ask all troopers for the same things (although sometimes we forget something:wacko:).

    Soooo...Your HWT looks awesome, and you do not need to relocate the ear screws for L3. But if you think you can fix it, go ahead!:jc_doublethumbup:

    Before starting the review, we would like to congratulate you for your HWT...:th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:

     

    As always, we'll start with the helmet...

    -Ideally, the ear screws should go aligned with the rear edge of the Traps  so we suggest to move them, although we must admit that they are very close to being "perfect".:jc_doublethumbup:

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Reference images

    And that's all Adam:laugh1:. Thank you for making our work easier!:jc_doublethumbup:

     

     

     

    Centurion Requirements:

    In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval.  Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.

     

     

     

    A few small details that are very easy to fix...

     

    -Your shoulder ammo pack is a little high and a little crooked... You will probably only have to adjust the straps a little bit and it will look much better (you will even be able to move your head more easily, well, as easy as a trooper's head can move:laugh1:).

     

                                                                                                                              Reference images

    ZLWKI0m.jpg       m0sDuea.jpg   Jmferi2.jpg

     

    -About the HWT pack: The pipe mounting brackets, (although not present in the game), stand out and we believe should not be noticeable. We would have "no problem" with it as long as they (and the rivets that hold them) are solid black and the weathering is not noticeable.

     

    TK0IZlF.jpg   8JbM0Pe.jpg

     

     

    -The rivets on the backpack straps should be black and there is additional knotted material (that should be removed). We also think that the buckle should be as close to the armpit as possible on both sides.

     

    HauPOJx.jpg   IbP6ORr.jpg

     

     

    That's all Adam. A little paint and a couple of fixes and Bang!!!, another Centurion badge under your name....

     

    Congratulations again!:th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:
