TheSwede[TK] Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Looking good - Another EIB is at hand A few thing regarding the helmet: - tube stripes appears not to be decals? - Frown could use some TLC "paint does not leave the teeth area" Great looking set of armor and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks Daniel, I will look into the frown area again cf reference photos. The traps / tears and tube strips are decals (by TrooperBay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkbait[TK] Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Another ESB, yay!! Very nice job there! At first the tube stripes look like really nicely applied decals, then I can't see a decal line... then I can... So that would be my question, too (concerning the tears/traps are definitely decals, I'd assume the tubes are too). Nice painting on the ear rank bars, too, by the wa. I believe what been mentioned as to the black teeth is the little corners at the bottom- they're not painted, just the teeth themselves. Otherwise everything lines up sharply and you're looking great! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks Rebecca, I see what you mean, I will work a bit on the frown again this weekend to make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Great work, the tube stripes should be a full decal with a white background! You can just make out the white background in these screen used helmet images. Traps/tears and tube stripes shall be decals (with the correct ESB details), no hand-painting or decals that replicate hand painted. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks Glen , I will correct the details this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskard8[Staff] Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Found an old unused canvas belt in the stash (was to replace my old MTK TK belt, but then went for a different direction so it is unused). Before (Top) / Reworked (Bottom) Ammo belt replaced with whiter canvas belt. Have to trim the velcro on the belt face off by an inch, I think its a bit too long now.

giskard8[Staff] Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Got some spare time tonight and tried the replacement belt on for some color test (under indoor lighting).

Indeed, no strap across the bells. Not on screen or the promo image. Edited October 23, 2018 by giskard8 pic added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABS80 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Beautiful build! It doesnt affect approval but I just find your belt cap covers too big, you can trim down square around circle a bit more.
