TK-2918 Requesting ESB EIB status[AM][APPROVED] 2nd

[tkrestonva[TK]]

Finished my new kit in time for C5 - time to see if all the work paid off.

 

The kit is mostly AM but assembled in a non-standard way (used butt-joins with overlay strips versus the standard overlapping seams), and with RT Mod chest/back/straps, and TM helmet & handplates.

Now the details:

 

 

 

 

 

Other details can be found in my build thread.

Looking good Brian should be an easy pass.

The country I'm deployed to has blocked the pics. Lame...

I have the AM armor and was considering doing something like that. How is the color matching? Pretty close? My VT helmet is a similar shade of white so I was thinking of getting some of his parts.

[tkrestonva[TK]]

The color match is pretty close, but what's most noticeable between AM and RT Mod is the difference in gloss. AM is extremely glossy, RT not so much. When I get some time, I plan to polish up the RT parts to try to bring them up to a similar gloss level. I know it doesn't help now, but if you refer to my build thread I compare the two side-by-side.

 

I think replacing the chest and back plate makes a real difference in the overall look, and were really the only AM parts I was unhappy about.

Another nice ESB, I like ESB builds

I think you look awesome Brian - I don't really notice the color issue really in the photos. The RT chest/back go very well indeed with the AM kit. You look lean, mean, and ready to rumble *

Way to go Brian!

 

I hope to get mine done before C5 as I finally have pictures.

Thanks all - hope to see at least a few of you at C5.
