Nootch Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 the pics i emailed are about 5 times the size of these so they can zoom in for detail. as far as i'm aware, the only mods i need for elite are, but the butt, new holster (name down for one) attached behind the belt, ANH e-11 (being painted as we speak) and black rubber gloves which i've got my name down for (with latex backs). you can't tell from these pics but the tube stripes are dark blue same color as the ab buttons which i got from vaderdave, and the canvas belt is from firebladejedi. only problem was i'd had surgery not long before these pics were taken so couldn't do my underbelt properly which is why the right thigh is hanging lower.

Stomper Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Nice one Gary! The only thing I would recommend is to try "pinching" the shoulder bells in a tad bit so they aren't so "wide" on you from the profile views! Just curious though, what are those two short black strips on the belt on YOUR right side (screen left)? Quote

Nootch Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 it is indeed for the speaker, i'm going to replace it with white velcro i just put it one quickly when i got my rom fx. not sure how i'd pinch the shoulders as my kit is fiberglass. if anyone has any suggestions that would help. Quote
Star Wars Helmets Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I'm sure they will be just fine Cheers Jez Quote
Stomper Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 WOW... all fiberglass? Well, I don't know of any way to reshape already formed fiberglass w/o cutting, reforming, and reglassing. Don't mind what I said, you still look outstanding!! Quote
Trooperman Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 your armour looks great Gary, how long did it take to assemble ? Quote
Nootch Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 what with work, and spending half the week at my girlfriends it ended up taking about 3 months. plus i could only work o it every other two weeks as my dad works on an oil rig and isn't a fan of noise when he's home. and yup its all fibreglass, well GRP but essentially the samething. the only non FG parts are the right knee belt and the TD, oh and the boots.

Nootch Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 sorry for the double post but just checked my email this morning and i got my TK number, been cleared and assigned for active duty. say hello to TK 5155 thanks to everyone who has helped get me to this stage. next step, elite, hopefully Quote

TK2233 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Very well done indeed mate. The armour looks excellent! There is just one thing ... maybe it's just the pic (probably is, since you got cleared) ... but you should have thin black lines around the grey ear pieces. Look forward to trooping with you! Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 as far as i'm aware, the only mods i need for elite are, but the butt, new holster (name down for one) attached behind the belt, ANH e-11 (being painted as we speak) and black rubber gloves which i've got my name down for (with latex backs). you can't tell from these pics but the tube stripes are dark blue same color as the ab buttons which i got from vaderdave, and the canvas belt is from firebladejedi. Actually we don't require the rubber gloves for elite. Quote
Nootch Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 one less thing to do, although i still want the gloves for display Quote

Nootch Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 indeed, what chris said, my induction is on saturday, and i notice that mr cherrington hasn't signed up for it, i think even though he's done 36 troops this year it shows a lack of commitment Quote
