Locitus[Admin] Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Good! Otherwise it ends up like the whispering game where the message gets more and more distorted the further it goes. Always stay as close to the original as possible. Only look at replicas if you really can't find an original reference. But our gallery is so exhaustive now that I really don't think there is anything you can't get a good look at (unless you are replicating a specific trooper).

I want as much advise as I can get from the staff.....I'm not going to be sensitive to critiquing. I want this to be the best it can be for my build.....thanks again for checking out the thread.....

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Don't be afraid to ask me personally if you need help with a detail. But try to find it yourself first. You might learn something new in the process that is completely unrelated at the time but you will have use for later on. Unfortunately I don't have the time to follow all build threads from start to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redforce[TK] Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 OK....cover strips to thighs...trim down shoulder straps.....trimmed down belt and put rivet covers in proper spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekullbe Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yup. That sums it up. Try to remove as much as you can of the material on top and below the boxes, redo the belt corners and put the covers at the very end of the belt so they line up end to end. Thanks for this tip! While ordering the fabric belt for my own NE kit I was thinking that at 9.9cm untrimmed, the plastic belt was way larger than the fabric one. It looks like it will trim down to 8.6cm or so, which will look better with the 7.6cm belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I suggest you reconsider how your butt plate is trimmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Agreed. You can take a lot of that off. It will be more comfortable and more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
