Ironmonk[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Darrell (Ironmonk) Ohio Garrison (Oregon, OH) Armor, Helmet, Cloth Belt all by Authentic Props (AP) Neck Seal by Trooperbay Boots by Imperial Boots Blaster is a cheap plastic one I bought on Amazon and painted (This is just temporary until I get my "real" blaster) I am 5'9" tall and 150# ANH Stunt Thanks to the many folks who posted excellent build threads, diagrams, supply lists, hints, etc. It's really difficult to single anyone out. I've found this to be a very helpful community. I admit I was intimidated when I started because I'd never built anything like this before, but you all gave me confidence and were very helpful. A special thank you to wook1138 whose AP build I followed closely and TheSwede for his expertise. The plan is to apply for EIB and Centurion eventually. All helpful comments are welcome! I'm aware the TD is crooked. I need to add some velcro to the belt so I can cinch it up tighter. And one final shot for fun... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I would say definitely good for basic even EIB.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Should have no problem for clearing basic approval. 2 things to watch out: Bring the shoulder bells closer to the chest if you can (by adjusting strappings) and watch out for the knee sniper plate poking into the thigh (some padding in the back of the thigh will solve that). You look sharp to shoot for EIB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Nice work should be an easy pass, try tightening your belt a little, it should sit higher at the back, also you doo have some excess belt material which goes past the TD you may want to remove Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpy~[501st] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Congrats on finishing Darrell! Your GML should zip right thru the evaluation. Easy L1 pass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwede[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Looking great Darrell Basic is given - great work! I can see Centurion beeing well within your reach as well and just a few things to improve the overall look would be to try and reducing the size of the smaller ab plate (se ref pic) You can reduce the size of the buttons and it will still look proprtional. Did some drawing just to give you an idea. Like Arthur said I also recommend to get the bells closer to the chest and it looks like the bells could come closer to the biceps, perhaps shortening the strapping around the bicep will fix that, could also be a simple dressing issue. Only a few small things, you did great on the build fitting the armor to your body Edited October 1, 2018 by TheSwede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-40996[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Approval should be no problem I think ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucnak[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yeap, agreed with everyone else, easy pass for basic in my opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook1138[TK] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Nice job! I'm glad the build helped! As mentioned, you are good for basic... at least. Most of what is mentioned above could be dressing issues. Daniel makes a good point regarding the button plate. For your shoulder bells - try giving them a little hot water bath to change the curve of the bottom. They tend to be a little narrow front to back - if that makes sense. Or tighten up the elastic that goes around the bicep - that can help too. Your forearms could come down a touch to balance out the black space between your hand guards and forearms versus your forearms and bicep. Sometime this is just a matter of giving the forearms a little tug down - at least until your elastics get a bit more worn. Again, looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
