Sly11[Admin] Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi Shawn Any chance you can kit up and get two new side shots showing those gaps closed up a bit. As it is they look a bit too much. Cheers Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Way to go, Shawn.. GREAT to see another awesome HWT EIB submission!! A few things that I noticed, not that they will affect this round, but hopefully you will be aiming for Centurion next, and you will need to bring your ABS belt up a bit. It should touch the bottom (or even overlap a bit) of the main ab button plate. And for aesthetic purposes, I would weather your pauldron to match that cool armor and pack. Fantastic job, sir! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seemed to be having snap issues yesterday. My belt also came unsnapped as well as my left side ab to kidney plate connection. Think i am going to need to replace these snaps. I will definitely weather my pauldron. TK/HWT 10204 501st Imperial Attaché Carolina Garrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is they look a bit too much. Cheers Andrew Andrew, I will send new pictures. but aren't we allowed to have a 1\2" or less opening on the sides. For level two certification (if applicable): Any gap between the ab and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the ab and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed.

Alay[TK] Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 What did you use to weather? It looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookKnight[TK] Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 What did you use to weather? It looks great! Thanks. I use black washable paint. All you have to do is brush it on your armor. Then take a damp cloth and pat off the part you do not want it on. Takes about 1 hour to do everything. The good thing is if you want to be shiny, you can wipe it off in about half an hour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrookKnight[TK] Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ok. I have made all of the recommended changes to my armor. I redid the snaps on the left side of my ab to kidney connection so the gap is closed to about 1/4". I adjusted my belt snaps so the ammo belt is touching the bottom of both ab button plates. I weathered the pauldron. All pictures have been updated in the original thread. Thank you for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrookKnight[TK] Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I figured since we are the Bad A**es of the Stormtroopers i might as well act like it. TK/HWT 10204 501st Imperial Attaché Carolina Garrison 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wow....Just noticed something, Shawn. The "vent" covers and bottom of the cone need to be painted with the "Silver Fox" color spray paint. I will send you a partially used can free of charge, which will be more than enough to cover these areas. Just PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
