ANH Stunt Photos for approval

[Marcus Dingman]

Should I submit the photos?

Hi Marcus,  

 

Your armor looks great and I think you should be very close for basic approval.  

 

There are a few areas that may get called by your GML though, but ultimately it is up to them.

 

One thing you may find when you start trooping is that your return edges are quite prominent and you may find that armor bite could be an issue.  See how things feel once you start wearing it and if you are having issues, we are here to help.

 

With your helmet,  The vocoder paint on the right side looks like it could use a bit of clean up to sharpen the edge.  This can be done by scratching off the paint with a toothpick dipped in varsol or mineral spirits.  Do not use Acetone as it will melt the plastic.

 

For your eyes,  they could be trimmed back a bit more as there is still some return edge there and it gives the eyes a bit of a droopy look.  This should be a fairly simple sanding session, as long as your lens is not too hard to remove.

 

 

With your belt, the end is sticking up and it should be tacked down.  This can be done by extending the velcro, or trimming the belt a bit to ensure that the end is tucked under the thermal detonator.

 

 

Your left shin is opening a bit.  It looks like you are using hook and eyes for closure.  You may need to adjust the position of the hooks to ensure a proper closure.

Looking good, Marcus! Gerald mentions some items that would definitely need to be addressed if you were to seek higher levels of approval (which you should), but at basic it'll all up to your GML. I expect you'll be joining the ranks very soon, and I look forward to greeting you as our newest TK!

Overall a really nice build, Marcus!  Some fantastic advice so far, and it looks as if you are darned near ready for your first troop!  Basic approval looks as if it's pretty much within your grasp, and it was a great idea to ask for advice.  Yeah, there are a few items that could use some attention, but in looking at your build I can tell you are able to handle them!

 

Of course Basic 501st approval is all you need to get out there and have a blast, but as you may have noticed we always suggest ways to make your armor look it's best.  Sometimes it's the small details that really set you apart, and with a few adjustments I can see you qualifying for the higher levels of approval!

 

Whether you are aiming for Basic 501st status or going all the way to Centurion, just know that we are here to help with anything you need, and never be shy about asking questions.... answering them is what we do best!

 

See you around the boards soon!
