gamesforbreakfast Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I got my big brown box in 2011, built my bucket and hit a wall. 3 years later, after 2 months of labor, my suit is approaching completion (neck seal, holster, blaster are arriving very soon). Because it's my first time and I built it solo, I was hoping for some constructive criticism on fit and finish. I built it with eventual EIB in mind, so any advice regarding that would also be appreciated. *the underarmor logo will be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattrooper Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Nice work but the under armor logo on the back should be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyrat Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 The right forearm seems much wider than the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haui[TK] Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I Think the belt is a little bit to high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I Think the belt is a little bit to high The belt is fine where it is. It's sitting high on pretty much all the original suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesforbreakfast Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the help. The right forearm is much wider, than the left, enough that I was going to add some padding to it. Is this abnormal? I thought it was just part of the asymmetrical nature of the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesforbreakfast Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I Think the belt is a little bit to high I offset the snaps on the belt so it can ride high just over the ab buttons like in ANH, or I can flip it to be just under them.

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Our leader beat me to the point about your belt being proper. You will, however, need to trim back the cover strips on the back of your thighs. They should end at and not exceed the molded ridge at the bottom of the thighs. I can't see because there aren't any close ups, but the tube stripes look to be the Trooperbay hand painted Dave M decals. If they are, you applied them backwards. These tube stripes are evenly spaced and positioned right up until the lower most stripes. The are supposed to angle slightly away from the frown. Yours angle towards the frown. Since they are decals, it's an easy reposition fix. I think it was Jason that brought it up, but I grew about scaling back on the ab button paint. You should shoot for 10-11 mm in diameter. Great looking armor!,!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesforbreakfast Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks, you guys rock. I'll clean up all those points before applying for EIB. They are in fact the Dave M decals, so I mixed up the left and right stripes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
