Once that's done you should have the option of clicking on "View" in the upper right corner. When you view the picture, you press down on the screen (a long hold, the way you do when usually selecting something for copying it, for example), so that the "share" menu pops up: Then you click on the link that I marked.

And even so, its fairly easy to correct in most cases by simply taking away a bit of the side: That's what I did with my belt after making a similar mistake EDIT: you should probably cut a better (straighter and parallel) line than the one that I added to the picture Edited August 18, 2021 by Morgi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Wouldnt hurt to check with your GML (garrison membership liaison) some are a little stricter than others, it may save you some disappointment later, or they may not give a hoot But yes will need modification for higher levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Trimming the ears is pretty much everyone's fear on their first armour build, but dont stress. The ears should have trim lines on them. Trim short of those leaving some room for fine tuning and further trimming and adjustment. Once you have some of the excess removed and you hold them against the sides of the helmet you will get a better idea of how much more you need to remove. There are a few other tricks to employ when you start getting closer to those trim lines but just take it slow, trim carefully and keep testing against the helmet for high and low points. Here is a great tutorial on Ears for you. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29238-my-helmet-ear-tutorial/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Nice work, just with the teeth looks as if you may have a little paint on the gums on the bottom. CRL: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, I'm a bit jealous at how well they fit... Is it just me, or does your cover strip on the left thigh extend past the thigh...? If so, I'd shorten that a bit to align better with the top of the thigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Nice work a couple of things you may want to address. Just touch up some of the missing tube stripe (4th from front). Also bottom black line of the cheek trap is a little thin. Vocoder is not very sharp on the hump details, some references Just around the ear bumps is a little rounded, you could square up those lines a little. Bottom right corner of cheek trap the black line is a little too thick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
