FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi Sarah, You've done a good job of forming this armour to fit your frame. Can you clarify which of the two blasters you are submitting as yours for your application? I think that you have some additional trimming that could be done to do the sides of your shoulder straps, there is quite a lot of excess there. The rear of your shoulder straps could do with a little heat bending to help them sit better on your backplate. Your forearms look huge by comparison to the rest of you, especially round the elbow area. I would narrow them down a bit if it were me. These are just my comments on your application. Good luck with that, I think you are close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captsafe66[Admin] Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Looks great Sarah!! I do see what Phil is talking about on you shoulder straps, the sides could be trimmed in a bit. Other than that, looks great!! Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 This picture that you have just submitted shows the shoulder straps sitting much better compared to the original pictures. Have a look at some other applications shoulder bridges in relation to how much additional plastic you have to the sides of the ribs. They are usually trimmed a lot closer to the width of the ribs.

Dday[501st] Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi Sarah! Congrats on your EIB and I'm sure you will get your Centurion, you've done a great job. I have a few things that might come up for you that I noticed. Not all of them will stop centurion, but they will make the suit more accurate in the end. Your chest piece doesn't seem to have a return edge on the bottom. This might be a sticking point for centurion, Mathias has the final say, but I think looking into how to add one would be a good idea, it makes the armor sit right and looks great with one. I love that you added the commlink and grappling hook! I thought about that, but decided I wanted to be just an average joe Hero with a TD :") Oh, on the subject of TD, it was in the works to make it a requirement for the TD clips to be all the way to the end caps, not sure if't it is finalized yet, again, I will leave that to Mathias. How lose are your forearms and biceps? They look like they could be trimmed more to fit on tighter. Good luck, and I can't wait to meet you and your husband on an upcoming troop! Are you planning on going to Celebration: Europe in Essen? There is going to be hundreds of 501st I'm sure, will be a big invasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little skywalker[TK] Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Hi Derrek, We had to cut the chest because of my size and because of that i thought to become a Hero with Luke´s Look. His chest does not have a return edge too. For me its to dangerous to make a new return edge. Im still waiting for the right caps of my TD, they will be a little longer then this Im not sure if i shut make th foramens more tight because Im slightly skinny and i cant say if it looks funny when my arms are to tight. Yes we will be in Essen, its the last weekend of our Summerholiday Hope to see you before Edited November 17, 2012 by little skywalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I agree, the chest return is not required. *Especially* when doing a Luke style hero. I would say that if you try to emulate Luke, it would in fact be wrong to have a chest return edge. And given your size Sarah, you made the right choice to go with the Luke look. I'm also happy that you moved the TD clips. It looks much better now. So I think I'm happy with what I can see, and there's no problems. So you're approved! I'll be looking forward to meeting you in Essen (this goes for all our FISD members who attend, but still). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little skywalker[TK] Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) WOW its unbelievable, Im so happy that I made it I thought it wouldn´t work, but I was wrong Thanks to everyone who help me to become Centurion. especially Alex who work so hard with this Armor, Guidon, Dennis "Blue Snaggletooth", Karin "Sonnenschein" and my nabor Egle too, she made my neckseal. Thank You ALL ))))) Edited November 18, 2012 by little skywalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dday[501st] Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Congrats! I do like how your neck seal rides. It looks snug and very tall. I've got a long neck and my current neck seal doesn't seem to be tall enough even though it is the hero style. with the extra ribs, and it's a bit loose, maybe I can have your neighbor make me one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are really interested, I can ask her if she can make one more and how much it will cost. Greetings Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dday[501st] Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'll keep it in mind. I'm done spending money on my TK at the moment, Vader is getting all my funds right now. So Maybe getting a cost estimate if she is interested in making another one, but no rush to get it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
