Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 If you don't get EIB, I'm turning in my armor. I can't think if a detail you didn't nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmartigan Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Looking great, Kevin! Quick question: are your biceps strapped to the shoulder bells? If not, I'd do that to move them up a smidge so the bottom of the shoulder overlaps the top of the bicep. If they are already strapped, you might need to shorten them a little -- an easy fix, just add a new snap closer on the strap. Will also help avoid pinches at the elbow when you bend them. Otherwise, looks fantastic! Edited May 25, 2010 by Madmartigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, looks fantastic! Thanks... Yes I do have the Biceps connected to the shoulderbells with 3/4 inch elastic and snaps. Sometime when I raise my arms the biceps slide under the shoulderbells. I thought a lot about having the biceps sit below the bottom edge of the shoulderbell, I tend to see them that way in some pictures & scenes from ANH and really like the look of that. I know there are scenes in the film with the biceps up under the shoulderbells. I think we get used to wearing the biceps up under the shoulderbells for comfort or trooping reasons. But I also have the 2 inch wide elastic strap connecting the bottom front end of the biceps to the forearms so I don't feel any armorbits there. EIB approved, nice job Kevin. Don't forget a nice action shot for your profile pic. Thanks will this picture work for an action shot? Kevin W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Nice Job Kevin. And you are correct on the biceps I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmian Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Congrats Kevin! Thanks will this picture work for an action shot? Yep, that'll work just fine! I'll see if I can update all the missing EIB's pictures tonight, and then you'll have to wait till Terrell uploads the picture. Cheers.

kwdesigns[TK] Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) So I thought I would bring my old thread back from 2010 to life. I made it to EIB with this build and I know there has been some changes sense then. You can see my build thread in the link provided in the first post. What do I need to do for the next level? Latex Handbacks, Leather Boots, What else??? Kevin W. Edited March 22, 2013 by kwdesigns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Aside from what you mentioned, I'd replace the blaster D-ring to an 0-shaped, pain the black stripe on each ear, move the TD belt-clips further out and review any rivets to make them the right kind for each placement. But for such an "old" thread, this looks really good I must say. Clearly up to and above EIB standards even today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
