  1. I'll be watching this thread closely. I'm already piecing my ST together
  2. Couple easy fixes and you'll be there! Good luck!
  3. Congrats brother! Welcome to the ranks!
  4. Hey Twan! Sweet looking armor brother! Most of what I noticed that might need fixing has been mentioned already. I'm gonna sit back and see what Steve has to say. An easy pass for EIB for sure. You will need some tweaking if you plan for Centurion. Good luck! PS. Dab some black paint or marker on your TD screws I'd also like to see a shot of the TD from the front. And I do think your ab/kidney needs to be lined up better. The third bottom most rivet(on the left side of your armor) should not be showing. And I think some trimming is definitely in order for the right side.(Ab)
  5. Looking great Steve! The only thing I can pick on a little bit is your "Han" snap is a little low and your drop boxes could be a little thinner. Other than that everything looks fantastic! Great job!

  6. Hey Chris! Looking great brother! Not much to comment on. I think the control panel on your TD could be facing out more instead of up. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/image/1131-star-wars-a-new-hope-screen-capture-254jpg/ The smaller button plate on your ab could be trimmed some more so the stage area shows, like so http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/image/920-ab-plate-05jpg/ And I think the bronzing on your blaster scope could be toned down a bit. Hyperfirm blasters are notorious for too much bronzing. Other than that, very nice build sir! Good luck with your application! Great hand painting on your helmet by the way!
  7. I find if it permits, I put my gloves on first then slide on my forearms. This helps pull the gloves upward and alleviates the bunching. That last photo in your most recent post looks great.
  8. Hey Ron! Fantastic looking build my friend! And I love the large clear photos. Makes it very easy to see all the details. Most things I noticed have already been mentioned. If you plan for Centurion (I'm sure you will be with this great looking armor) You will need to add a split rivet to the cod piece and 2 male snaps to the butt plate (where the cod/butt plate attachment is) Glad to see that you painted your ab/kidney rivets and your thigh pack rivets white, as they were not painted in the initial photos. The only area that is kind of distracting to me is the gap at your wrists. Dropping your forearms a hair will eliminate it. Also for Centurion you will need rubber hand guards glued/attached to your gloves and also 1/4 inch white elastic bands on your shoulder bridges if they aren't already there. And I think I see them but hard to tell from the photos if the black elastic arm bands are present. The hand painting on your helmet (traps and tears most noticeably) is FANTASTIC! Well done. Overall a very clean build. Most impressive! Best of luck with your application and your future endeavors.
