TK/BH-2177 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 After well over a year, I am finally close enough to feel comfortable posting my AP armor build/assembly. I will soon be submitting for New Hope Stunt EIB. I have trooped in it twice now, and only have one current shot of me wearing the full suit. Here are some various shots. Critique and tips are welcome (of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE[501st] Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Fantastic! My only critique would be that it's not in my possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Utter rubbish and not salvageable. Best send it to me for proper disposal (yeah, like Noel the only downside is it's not mine ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE[501st] Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Did you do this build, or did you have it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK/BH-2177 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Did you do this build, or did you have it done? Wow Thanks guys! I cut, sanded, dremmeled, glued, painted and bled a few times while building this Everything except the blaster, which is a MR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Looks awesome, nice work! The only things I don't see are the 6 rivets on the left side of the ab / kidney. These are should have's, not must have's. For more accurate nerdyness, you could also add the exposed snap on the upper corner of the AB plate. Do you have another photo of the other side of the blaster? That's the only thing I can't see. Other than that, it's looking pretty good for EIB!

Geez - nit pick why don'tcha mate These are way beyond even EIB requirements, let alone 501st. Every GML should pray for such an easy applicant. (still, if you want to go to the max this is a very valid point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intended to add them but completely forgot! I will get to that by the end of the weekend. Here is a shot of the other side of my blaster: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskanSalmonTrooper[501st] Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Wow, I was getting ready to post my AP build/application photos....how do you expect me to even follow this act? Fantastic job, photos of your skilled work and dedication are awesome, thanks for posting. Well I am not tery to hijack this thread...good job!! Wish I had the ability, talent, time, and dedication. I can only hope my build is good enough for at least getting basic membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007bond[TK] Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 That is definelty one of the better AP build i've seen.... AP is not an easy kit to put together, but once done, looks very very good.... Your helmet is spot on, you can't get better than that (almost as good as mine.... ) It would be good to see the armour on you, multiple side/front shots etc, this will also show how well it hangs....
