humperdingle Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Sorry, forgot the text This is my RS Celebration kit. Finished most of it last week but was waiting on some decals. Thankfully, a 501st colleague had a sheet to spare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Cheers <br><br> The shins are from RWA - Good colour match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I was just about to say those are not RS shins or knee plate. What is wrong with the RS shins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I was just about to say those are not RS shins or knee plate.What is wrong with the RS shins? I'm still waiting on them sending me a sniper plate, which was missing from the delivery. Plus, they're shorter, so i'd have more black showing. When (if) the sniper plate turns up, i'll get kitted up again and see what they're like in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnrub[501st] Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I havent heard of rwa looking closely are the shins made out of 2 inner peices? Edited May 12, 2017 by MrSnrub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I havent heard of rwa looking closely are the shins made out of 2 inner peices? He's based in the UK. Not sure what you mean about two inner pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think they are two right shins. I've noticed that before with RWA kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think they are two right shins. I've noticed that before with RWA kits. Don't think so, but you're the expert - This comparison pic I took of SDS shins (inner pair) and RWA extended shins (outer pair), might help?

troopermaster Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 The RWA shins are the same for both sides but the ankles are trimmed differently. Put them side by side and you will see they are the same on both legs. The RS are the same for the both sides too but they have two outer parts doubled up compared to two right parts doubled up on the RWA.

The RS are the same for the both sides too but they have two outer parts doubled up compared to two right parts doubled up on the RWA. I can't speak for the standard RWA shins, but the extended ones are different left and right. I asked Ross and he's more than happy to supply pics if required This photo shows the difference in size between the RS shin (received sniper plate today) and my existing RWA extended shin. I can't afford to lose that amount of coverage, so the RWA shins will need to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 They are the same. You want to talk armour? You are talking to the right person. I can see every detail in every armour, regardless what you are spoon fed. As I said, they are the same for both legs except for the way the ankles have been trimmed or made to look different.

Very good. Take it up with Ross, then. He said he's happy to put up photos of the moulds he uses. I trimmed the bottom of shins, not him.
