Mr_Vader Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 OK guys, been a long time coming, but here's the photos from my 501st application. Hoping to hit elite status, any input before I send in the formal request? Mr_Vader 501st Photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Close the side gaps is a big one. I can't tell from the pictures if the butt plate is cut from the back, and if you have all the blaster details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah thats about what i was going to say.. Close the side gaps, we cant see the split butt and back and those ab buttons look like the correct colour but are they the larger sized that come with the fx kit? And maybe a close up of your lid. Appart from those small details i think your armour looks great and all set for anh elite. All this makes for a good excuse to armour up for another photo set, hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Down the line you may also want to trim the thighs esp. towards the knee to avoid that barrel leg look. Otherwise, looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M.[TK] Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Not sure I can really add anything, except I would suggest some elastic under the arms to pull the back and chest together. A close up of the bucket and blaster will be needed, as well as a shot showing the separated butt/kidney plate will also show he canvas belt. Good work man, looking good!! Also, you may need to send me the E3 Clone bucket. Itr appears to be taking up some valuable space in your living room. I will send you my address shortly!!!

Thanks guys, appreciate the input, I knew the sides were going to be a problem, maybe I'll lose a few inches in my waist instead of filling in with white . The butt plate is cut, I guess it does not show well on the photos, but it's good to know that I need better photos of my backside . I also feel that the chest and back are problems, thanks for the idea of the elastic. The buttons I know are the correct color and pattern, but they are the ones that came with the FX armor and thought they were regulation. Give me a few more weeks and I should iron out all these issues, well maybe not the waist but I'm working on it Thanks everyone! PS The clone bucket is on its way sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManInWhite Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The size of the buttons seem to be off as well. They look like the size of FX buttons but painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Trooper Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The size of the buttons seem to be off as well. They look like the size of FX buttons but painted. They are just repainted FX buttons . Pm sent Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 lookin good bro! Im sure your in for 501st, and just a few tweaks and i think your good for elite! Im going to be applying to the same garrison hopefully in the next few weeks, and then applying for elite status as well. I too need to lose a bit to close that side gap, lol i will hopefully be closin that off soon! i sent im my application to the 501st last week but havent heard back from anyone yet. I figured by the time i need to send them pics, i should be done. good luck bro, looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Vader Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks for all the insight guys, I took some photos, some on me and some on the mannequin of the questionable areas. Once again this isn't my formal application, so when I am ready to rock all new photos will be taken Also, I'm still working on the breast/back plates and Ab/kidney spacing problems so as soon as I licked those, I'll post some photos. As always, any input would be great, I'm trying to use the Elite Standards as a guide for the photos.

Mr_Vader Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Oh, and because people have asked, here is some photos of the whole collection MrVader Star Wars Collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The things that I noticed right off the bat are your side gaps are not closed, your ab buttons are oversized, and your blaster is missing the counter. Overall your TK looks good, your getting there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
