Naglium[501st] Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I just uploaded pics of the progress i've made to my armor. see the link below: http://www.webbacowet.org/armor.htm any and all comments will be accepted! email me, or send me a PM. I'm as green as they come, so please, let me know how i can improve my armor! I purhcased an FX kit (i know, i know, i should've gone with something better, but thats all i can afford at this point!) last November, and have been slowly assembling it since then. My overall plan is to purchase some better armor (most likely TE2), and convert this FX into a Sandy! (or sell it to my brother who looks like he would be interested in the 501st!) Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Hey your doing great, reading your list of things to do you seem to be pretty much on top of things. The only thing i would say would be to change the elastic going under your arm for the shoulder bell to black from white. And to stop them rotating backwards maybe attatch them further forward along the shoulder bridge. Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Nice work, but the frown should be painted with a darker grey, I don't remember the correct Humbrol number, but someone is surely going to recall it Quote
Amish Trooper Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 looking good so far. But hey I'm just as green as you. for your vox http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?show...056&hl=deal this is a great deal. Smitty has modded his and sounds good. Keep us posted Quote
carbonitekid Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Nice work, but the frown should be painted with a darker grey, I don't remember the correct Humbrol number, but someone is surely going to recall it Humbrol AD grey number 5? Quote
ManInWhite Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Don't forget to add your ear pieces . Quote

Ciscotiger Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Good job so far, Naglium, you're on the rigt track. For the shoulder bell, I used the extra length (1 1/2 wide nylon canvass) from my suspenders and sewed it on. The bells never flop around. Quote
