kiyotei[TK] Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 alas for me, if I don't trim, I can't function in the armor. No point in being a trooper in screen accurate armor who can't move his arms or legs. I don't make a good statue. Without trimming the arms I really could not even touch my helmet with my hands, that's how little I could bend my arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed your ammo pack thing on your other thread .. and one thing you could have done is rivet it in the lower corner of the ammo pack instead of the upper corner. That way, you wouldn't have it catching on your calf. Again, I riveted it pretty much as low as possible to remove as much black as I could, but for a smaller trooper, it would have been fixed higher on the thigh piece.

Exodus[TK] Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Great posts guys. If and when the project is asked to be completed, these photos will be used for the 501st costume reference library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturc Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hey Ed, Let me know if you ever want more picture .. I know there was a few talks of armor comparison but it kinda never happened officially and was always spread here and there. In any case, I could update with a full set of pictures from different angles for all pieces of my suit. Cheers, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Hans forearms below...very thin strips..and it's the same on all the troopers arms. ----------- Looks to be about the same width as the vertical strip on the handguard (near the base or wrist) Edited February 25, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTKenobi[TK] Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hey All, It's been over 2 years since I finished my kit and I STILL haven't affixed my sniper plate on my AP properly - still (barely) on with velcro. It just doesn't seem to fit over the upper lip of the shin. Can someone please post some pics/screencaps (or a link to some) where I can see screen-used sniper plates affixed to the shins?

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I used 2 rivets and washers to attach the knee plate. they fit right along the top nicely. to use the screen used glue on way, you'd have to purchase a completely different knee plate. the AP knee plate does not have the correct amount of plastic at it's lower edge to affix it in the screen used way. otherwise to rivet it on along the corner at the top is the way most people do it.
