Symmetry for Centurion

[StrmTRPR85[TK]]

Hello all,

 

Last night I was looking over my assembled parts and realized that I have trimmed my forearm halves down a bit to much to have them fit me just right.  Will the unsymmetrical parts prevent centurion approval?

 

Wrist Side

 

Elbow Side

 

If this is an issue for approval whats the best fix?  How water bath?

Hi Jeff,

Do you mean because the cover strips aren’t parallel? Do you have any pictures of them on with your undersuit?

Symmetry and stormtroopers don’t usually go hand in hand. ;-)
Here’s the elbow end of a screen used forearm from the FISD gallery. You’ll see that not all parts are symmetrical.



Could you expand a little more on which part is bothering you?

My concern is that the coverstrips are not parallel. I can snap a few pics in my undersuit in a minute.

Pictures incoming!

I’ve just had a look at your main build thread and can see that they looked pretty parallel at that point. Have you trimmed further since, hence this post?

 

Possibly looks like your cover strip just slipped during gluing.

 

Did you use E6000, or a similar, removable glue? If so, if it bothers you you could probably just remove the cover strip (pictured top), move it over a little to equally cover both halves of the arm, and re-glue. (Looks like it’s covering significantly more of one half than the other). 

 

### To to be safe, I’d post the question on your main build thread, also. I can see that Tony ( @ukswrath ) amongst others is following your build and certainly has a great eye on things like this.

I only posted my left forearm in my main build thread so far.  This guy is my right forearm that has me concerned.  I'll post it up in there and see what gets called out and solutions.  Thank you Cableguy!

Ah, gotcha. I wouldn’t worry too much, though. I don’t think it’ll cause any clearance issues. Probably just a minor adjustment to line it up, just for your own piece of mind. :-)

That's what I feel 95% of my posts are for my own peace of mind lol

You should be fine. Just make sure coverstrip is even on both halves to keep everything snug for many troops to come.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Magni I may remove it and reset it to make sure it is a bit more over the one side than the other.  Glad to hear it shouldn't cause me any issues on Centurion approval.
