One more ROTJ TK for Germany and the Empire :)


Recommended Posts

Your in the home stretch now. Do you have your shoulder bells on?

Yes but not conected with the bridges that is why they not visible 😉

Looking at the shape of the straps, I would suggest they are meant for connecting the handguards to the forearms and for holding it in place while wearing a glove.

Your biceps are rotated out. They need to be facing toward your torso The joint should be facing forward when your arms are down. This will cause the shoulder bells and the biceps ridges to marry up and fit together. You can also rotate your forearms so the joint is also facing forward when your arms are down. Hope this makes sense. You may also want to shorten the shoulder bell straps to the shoulder bridges to bring the bells in more. Just some little things I see but your moving along nicely and will be hunting ewok's shortly

thx for the feedback. The shoulder bell straps already shorten, It was the first think after checking the photos :) With the arms you are correct, I was a bit to fast  when I put them on :)

Looking awesome mate - have you used snaps for the shoulder or velcro?

 

Thx mate. I hope the boxes will arrive, I can't wait to finish it.

 

If you mean the connection between bridges and bells. Yes I used velcro (was included in the strapping package of Mark)

I bet - I just made a panel for the back with spare abs - I'll probably change that once I've done all else. I thought the velcro straps were the go there. I'll be fixing the velcro to the shoulders tonight/tomorrow.  Keep on keeping on!

Hey mate - have you padded the shoulder bells? If so how much did you pad them?

Not yet , but will try different paddings but had to do some adjustments of the strapping before. There is to mich black visible between biceps and forearms 😆

On the recommendation of some mates of GG I made some adjustments to get the forearms a bit closer to the biceps, to have less black fabric visible.

Admit it, you wanted to show us your Abarth :)

 

How are you planning to add the dropboxes later?

 

Now get a holster, slip up that biceps and you are good to go!
