tightlines Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hello everyone! I just finished my AP ANH Stunt and here are the photos I promised. I just sent them in for my 501st submission. I started working on the build October 10th and here it is completed. This is the first build I have done and it was a blast. I was wondering if you can offer some advice on how I can improve it. I will be trying for expert infantry and want to make any corrections on my armor once it is 501st approved. I also built a doopy doos full resin E-11 blaster that I have some photos of. I wanted to thank everyone on the board for putting up with all my bone-head questions during the project. If it wasn't for all of you, I don't think I would have been able to make my first cut on the shiny plastic. I had such an amazing experience with building this set that I just ordered a set of TM. My wife is sure I have completly lost it now. Here are some photos and thank you all so much for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose[TK] Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Your armor looks pretty sweet. I had my biceps sitting where yours are now and was advised to lower them a little to hide more of the black. I thought I would lose mobility but I actually got more. That's all I can really say. Nothing that should keep you from getting approved though. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiettLives[TK] Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks sweet! I can't wait to get mine done as well. I agree that your biceps need to be lowered a bit. I also got the DDoos resin kit and am having a buddy build it for me. Nice weathering on yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezablad3[TK] Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Man your armor looks awesome..... Youve done a great job on it. Just little things i want to point out, i think the male snap on your left ab plate should not be painted white, as well as the split rivet on your crotch, leave them the color they actually are. But over all, there should be nothing stopping you from getting approved...your very close to EIB... Good luck brother.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 You look fabulous! Apart from the biceps, which isn't bad - it looks like you are really tall - I'd see what you can do to minimize the gap between your back plate and kidney plate if you can. Maybe lower the pack plate a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlines Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for the help on this everyone. I made the conversions and sent them to my attaché Brian Rodgers. It has been 501 approved by him! Very excited for my first troop to see what it is all about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) You gotta be kidding me, this TK looks great!! and you've already decided to make a new one?? also I wish I had a cool butt snap photo like yours haha Is it normal that the handguards are so far from the wrists? How high can you pull the ab/kidney section to decrease the gap with the backplate? Also try to pull the front of the belt up much closer to the bottom of ab button plate. Congrats and welcome to the 501st! Edited November 28, 2012 by Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
