shaunpug[TK] Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think that's it lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Hahaha! I'm going to see about dropping the shins and thighs a bit. I think I had my thigh support belt up a little too high on my waist. I'm hoping I can get away with that so that I don't need to trim the thighs at all but we'll see how it looks. I'll tweak the left arm a bit and see if I can get it to sit better like the right. I'll post some pics of the new fitment a bit later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunpug[TK] Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 After my first test troop, I applied some white gaff tape under where the TD sits. This should prevent the clips from scratching the back plate. \m/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Looks awesome. May I suggest placing some foam in the thighs just above the back know of the knees. This will help them to sit flush against your legs and not protruding so far forward. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Shaun, is your blaster scope real or resin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunpug[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Shaun, is your blaster scope real or resin? The blaster scope is resin. What I wouldn't give for a real one though! If anyone has a lead on an M19 I'm interested! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunpug[TK] Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) My helmet decals the way I had them weren't going to cut it it in the long run. The ink was rubbing off and they weren't the correct color after all was said and done. They wouldn't pass for Centurion I don't think so I decided to re-make them properly this time. These are the correct ANH gray and made of a proper vinyl. These were cut using a Roland Vinyl cutter that I had access to using my decal scans seen earlier in this thread. I made sure the outlines were correct in Illustrator and cut them out from there! I didn't initially plan on putting this much time and effort to helmet decals, but the inaccurate color of the trooperbay decals bothered me and as far as I know no one else produces ESB decals for Anovos helmets.\m/ Edited May 11, 2016 by shaunpug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Awesome hack! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunpug[TK] Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Here's some closeups using a better camera of the decals. This was very much a creative solution to a problem I had... I thought about what it would look like to produce these decals for other members but hit a block when it came to the gray. In order to produce these properly they would need to be silkscreened (like the films) and I'm unable to do this. I can potentially provide the black portions of the decals however... I probably wouldn't do a sales thread for those though as I don't think there are enough people interested to warrant that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 The hack was an awesome solution. Yours look very clean and sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
