tk-1842 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I was so sick, I looked just as pasty white as my armor. How's that get in here?? (Not elite request pic..pre modded MRCE, pre FX kit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaderDave[501st] Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Man, the more I look at this suit, the more I like it! Looks great to me, Phil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I say get your butt down to the detention center - large leak and very dangerous - they need help pronto! Terrell has the better eye but I think you look great. At some point you could continue to tweak the costume by pulling the thighs up and maybe tapering the bottom. If you wanted to get anal you could always to the chest/bell rolled edges mod. A few other minor tweaks if you wanted to go Mike H. crazy... but ah, for now I just want to give you the 16oz salute for a job well done! You look super and I say a pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry19D Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nice job on the kit, Phil! Looks great to me. The only nitpick I personally see is that you might want to add a close-up shot of the ab buttons. They look correct from what I can see of them in that first shot (are they from VaderDave?), but they are a little obscured. Anyway, like I said, that's just a nitpick. I think you've done a fine job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 We need the ab button shot just to make sure. I agree with Paul, it would help the overall look if you raise the thighs a bit but that won't affect your elite app. Nice job trooper.

tk-1842 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If I raise the thighs up anymore I will have a pretty large gap between my thighs and shin/calf plates. I'm just slightly too tall. But I agree, I wish I could. I already cut the thighs to that size. I might try a couple ideas though. Is this close enough? Or do you want me to take another shot? Yes they are from Vader Dave btw. Damn those cheap shoulder bells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daric LaRone[501st] Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Phil, looks awesome. You are spurring me on toward applying for Elite; I hope I'm not far behind. Great work trooper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, let me know if you have any questions. I'm not an elite expert by any means, but I did just go through all the mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 If I raise the thighs up anymore I will have a pretty large gap between my thighs and shin/calf plates. I'm just slightly too tall. No worries - I have the same issue. The current FX thighs are very short in the back which makes it harder. As we said you've done a great job with the suit and you should be happy. These are ideas for when you get the itch to tweak it some Terrell - that shot good enough?

LOL...I'm already itchin' now even more so. If that shot's not good enough, it's no biggy to take another one tonight, more straight on without the chest plate covering the top button.

tkrestonva[TK] Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I got my hobby iron from Amazon.com, just do a search for "sealing iron" and a few should pop up. And congratulations on making Elite right away, your kit looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
