darthcue[TK] Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Hello to all! I finally decided to start a build thread. Work in progress is slow, trimming stage is over, forearms and biceps done. I got my BBB last July 1 and here's a picture... here is my TD aluminum strips for TD clips my undersuit which side is this shin part? Right or Left?

dejango[TK] Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Good luck on finishing things up! It will be easier to decide what part of the shin those pieces are if we know what kit you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernaut11[TK] Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 It would appear as though that is your right shin. Smooth rounded outer and a subtle curve, or dip on the inner. Good luck with your build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novak Dimon[TK] Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Hi Ted Did you glue the back of the things first? I would recommend to start with the front and do the back after a last fitting. If you have to correct something after this last fitting it is easily concealed and you have a perfect front. Make sure to check the advanced tactics area of the board. Building the armor from the start to Centurion standard much easier then modifying it later. And it is not that difficult. Enjoy your build and good luck! Christian Edited September 12, 2016 by Novak Dimon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastStoneCutter[TK] Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hey I just did my first test fit too and also received my AP TK ANH Stunt armor at the end of June; how parallel! Since i'm also doing my fit test too, here's some suggestions: Yes, probably move your chest down; I can see some black on the left (your right side) between the chest and ab plates and I don't think there's supposed to be a space/black showing there. I think the drop boxes should be resting on top of your thighs, like the CRL, so suggest moving thighs up. Also suggest moving your shoulder bells closer to your shoulder straps - overall theme: minimize the black. Other than that it looks pretty good. BTW: how did you glue your latex hand guards to your rubber gloves? I tried E6000 with no sanding, then super glue after sanding the latex and i'm still having trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthcue[TK] Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 my submission photos we're reviewed last October 30 and the GML told me do I have an opportunity to go to Manila? So I can continue the process of being a handler and testing my costume. I said: I will be in manila nov. 8-10 and he replied: Hmm seems to be no event on those days then i said: Maybe in cebu? Good thing he said it was a good idea and i was put to a Squad in Cebu which is a ferry and bus ride away from me. The squad is i still checking for activities so i can continue my process as mentioned by the GML... Wish me luck !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
