RT-Mod Overlap vs. Cover strip

[TrooperJesse[TK]]

I was wondering for those who have RT-Mod armor what was your choice? If you chose overlap is it even 501st approved... Well let me know what you guys did and even if any of you could post photos of what you did would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance guys .

I believe either is clearable however personally I think cover strips enhance the look and are of course more accurate.

Both are approvable. RT is built for overlap but can be trimmed to do coverstrip "fairly" easily. If you decide to go coverstrip I would contact rob and try to get a coverstrip kit, in order to properly match the coloration of his abs.

Hey Jesse,

Congrat's on RT-Mod as your choice of Armor, it's awesome. While overlap is acceptable for Basic approval it won't be long until the cover strip method is required for Centurion. It's not really that hard to do, and is far more accurate as it was the method used in the movies anyway.

 

Rob supplies a couple of pieces of ABS with his kit that match the colour so you have enough to use for outer cover strips, and you can simply get some white ABS from elsewhere to use for the inner strips.

 

Here is a link to my build thread showing the cover strip method :- http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21968-bids-anh-hero-build-thread-rt-mod/

 

Good luck with your build.

 

Cheers
