Seeker[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Trying on for adjustments. A few more things and I'm done. 1. Repaint helmet. 2. Make holsters. E-11 and SR 3. Waiting on my rubber handplates and gloves. This is the trooper that I modeled my self as. A few things of on my part that I left off, but that's due to my height and preference. You could view the rest of the pics in my trooper flickr page in my signature. Edited January 28, 2013 by Seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIDS[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nice build Arturo, very clean. My only suggestion would be some foam to pad out the left calf and stop the sniper plate being caught under the thigh, would hate to see you break the plate or crack the bottom thight join. Mine was doing the same and I used a foam builder knee pad cut down. Not only did it fix the sniper plate problem, it also stopped the calf from rotating to a crooked position while I was wearing it.

Seeker[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys. Great suggestion Bids. Yeah these shins are not made for a human beings. lol. I'm gonna ad some. I would like to glue them on the shin itself. I wonder if its ok before I apply for EIB? Edited January 28, 2013 by Seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenwood[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 looks awesome. I got mine finished and photos done yesterday but being only 5'7" it doesn't look as good on me as it does on you very nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) You're actually taller then me. I'm 5'6" at 175 lbs. I'm planning to get down to 160 lbs, then I'll take my final EIB photos. Edited January 28, 2013 by Seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my finished TK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 looks nice. I didnt trim the top of the thighs. Only the bottom of the shins. I also have the codpiece/ab piece section a little higher then normal. That is why my belt is a bit lower too like yours. I wanted to have that even look to myself.

Ravenwood[TK] Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think I will use some foam in the thighs to position them better. Any rocomendations on what type of foam to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancelot[TK] Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I use high density foam and cut it with a bread knife. Apply with hot glue. Cheap and easily replaceable. Just want to make sure the green isn't visible. I've been looking for a white alternative but haven't found one yet.
