R2Dan[TK] Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well well, I finally managed to get all my armour together, and I _think_ it should fulfill all ANH elite standards. We'll see... First of all I want to thank a bunch of people: Jens Hartmann for helping me out with boots, geeky helmet comparison sessions and for being one of the coolest guys in the German Garrison. Frank Vahlke for giving me some leather material for my holster Another top guy! And Romy, for sewing my belt and enduring all the TK talk over the past few months. Thank you so much Our Stukatrooper for his picture tutorials, they were a huge resource during my build, and I hope I didn't screw up And this place and all the members, without you I probably wouldn't have gone all that far So Cheers! Enough of that banter now, here are some pics (once again they're not the best, I really need to get a new camera!): Bucket pics: The blaster: And a last one showing the AB buttons, the canvas belt and the holster attachment, woo! Oh and here's me without the helmet, with a scary Jack Nicholson kind of face... it's the best I got without the bucket Right then - Let me know if you need any more pictures, or if anything is really off... That's it for now! Awaiting your comments quick edit: Just realised it's hard to tell wether my back and butt plate are seperate from the pics, so I took this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jello[501st] Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks good to me. The only thing that might come up that I can think of off hand is that we need to see the D-ring on the butt end of your E-11. Other than that, I think it's okay. Anyone else?

SuperTrooper Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Nice job on the armor Dan, should be an easy pass. Scott is on ferlow for some much needed R&R but will be reporting back shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Awesome looking build!!! I cant see anything holding you up from Elite, Great Job!!! The only tweak I would dare suggest (and it doesnt affect elite status) Raise and trim your back plate just a hair higher so that it meets the top of the kidney plate instead of over hanging the kidney plate. Like this guy NICE FRIKKIN R2 UNIT BTW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 And Iron Maiden Piece on mind on Vinyl! Badass, Im coming to your house! I got it in Vinyl too but its the Straight jacket cover.

R2Dan[TK] Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I don't need any padding Nah, seriously, it's not that hard a balaclava or a bandana helps though, just to keep them out of the eyes - else it can get really nasty during an event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
