TK11057[TK] Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Name: Thor Nualsumlee Armor Maker: Anovos Helmet: Anovos Gaskets: Geeky pink Boots: Imperial Boots Height & Weight: No shoes I am 6’ even 165lbs Hello! I just moved from California and i’m trying to get into 501st Carolina Garrison with this new FOTK armor. Sadly I had to let my ANH hero go so I have to get re-approve with this new one. I requested Legion of the Guard to transfer my TKID over but currently I am retired looking to get back into the game. Thank you for helping. https://ibb.co/HHv6vFb https://ibb.co/qFFhZ5k https://ibb.co/QpSWfwg https://ibb.co/JmLfp0B https://ibb.co/VVPWMZ2 https://ibb.co/MDTxb5C https://imgur.com/a/BL8FjUv Edited May 16, 2022 by TK11057 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Nice work trooper, FYI if you use the "direct link" your images should show in your thread Your right arm bicep appears to be open, normally these are glued as they don't need to be opened when putting them on your arms. You have quite a few dark marks on the armor, some GML's may pick this up, I find using some auto polish can get rid of most marks. Could be my eyes or the photo but your belt boxes look a different shade of white? There is also some bunching of the gaskets at your elbows, I added some loops of elastic to the cuffs of my gaskets which helps keep them tight when putting on. Your left shoulder bell appears to have a gap between it and the back/yoke, should match the other side. Your detonator is not flush with your back, note the detonator on the right side trooper in image below. Back/yoke looks to be pushed backwards which will leave a gap between it and your detonator, you may be able to adjust this. You are also missing the black strip on the left side of the detonator. Butt plate looks to be on an angle compared to your back, this could be what is making your belt pouches/boxes to be on an angle, note the left is pretty noticeable, adding some stiff foam to the inside of the pouch can help. There is also some bunching of your gaskets, note between biceps and bells. You have a hinge/join between the chest and yoke/back, this is how Anovos made their last FOTK armor BUT it is not screen correct, this should be glued, filled and painted, note the reference below Appears to be a large gap under the butt plate, you can see your elastic strap, not sure if you could pull the butt plate in more. Detonator gap on this side also. I think that's about it for the moment, but I've only had one coffee so far today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for butt plate. Edited May 16, 2022 by TK11057 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermal now has black stripe that was missing. 2. Glued biceps down. 3. Foamed up the pouches. 4. Gaskets I just used my sewing machine to make them smaller by sewing the inside seam. Pulled it farther into forearm. now i’m moving towards the yoke seams. Edited May 16, 2022 by TK11057 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that will be addressing all the suiting up errors which can be fixed. Also planing on adding more velcro or magnet to reduce the TD gap even more.
