Early 2019 CRL update change requests
Troopacoola replied to CableGuy's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Not talking centurion level Tony, but as I said above. Basic is VERY basic at the moment. There are troopers out there who will build to basic, and then be discouraged due to the extra work involved. I guess what I'm saying is that EIB standard should now be basic. Too many 501st garrisons out there clear on a basic level. Then you see other troopers copying their builds, which repeats a substandard build. I honestly believe that if basic was removed, then future builders would engage more with how closer they could get their kits than at the moment. Just my humble opinion, but think we are focussing on the wrong area atm Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Needs to happen mate. Makes sense, there's too many wanting to clear that are no where near a standard, but then you get the basic crl argument. You know the standards the ukg have and as an armourer the basic leve canl become an area of contention. We want our guys to look the best. However, some just want the easiest route to 501st status endorses that. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Tbh, I think you have a point with highlighting basic approval. Surely this should be the focus, I mean, decal tube stripes, plastic hand guards etc. Let's start new members off on the right track, rather than asking for corrections down the line. This would bring clearance levels across garrisons closer together. No? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
Congratulations Sven!!!!! Well done mate, I'm sure Centurion won't be long to follow! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Looking good Sven. I think the thighs still need dropping a tad especially as they overlap the butt plate. I'd also suggest having a look at the belt, it looks a little off centre which in turn, is not allowing your drop boxes to hang equally beside the thigh covers (if that makes sense?) Not long now!

Looking good mate! Yeah, I'd drop the thighs a touch. Let's have a look at those thighs from the back before you cut anything [emoji846] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Try flipping the ammo belt 180° it may be that you have it upside down. In terms of the sniper plate, glue one side, let it cure for 24 to 48 hours, then do the other and drop a blob of glue in the middle. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Hi, it's as simple as a potentiometer, I do (Troopacoola) fan systems, but found that the potentiometer led to the fans squeaking a fair bit, so I opted to go down the digital route. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Ahhh, my bad! Yeah, we used the hot water bath method before trimming and glueing the rear. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

If you mean the rear covers, we cut them at an angle Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Some of the gorilla stuff needs a spray of water to activate it. Maybe that? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Mason's RWA ANH TK Stunt Build
Troopacoola replied to Mason.c's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Evening! We are going to add elastic straps at the back of the boots to attach to the rear of the calves. We have trimmed the rear of the thighs too [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
Much better mate. If you look at both pics, you can see that by extending that distance it pulls the chest round the curve of the ab plate. Nice work! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
-
Try increasing the distance over the shoulders between chest and back plate. This should allow the chest to drop a little and thus tuck the bottom sides of the chest in. I'd personally give that ago first [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

The boy is getting closer to a full suit up! Just waiting on the rear of the thighs to set. Then it's onto the shins. Still need to paint the rivets, attach the knee ammo belt, sniper plate and shoulder bridges. The end is in sight though. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
