Rich330[TK] Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Yay! I'm no longer the only member of the Spanish Garrison wearing TM! My plan for total Garrison dominace is bearing fruit ... MWUHAHAHAHA! Beautiful suit of armour. Congratulations, Juanma and very nicely built, Paul. Quote
juanma255 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Posted February 6, 2011 Thank you very much for giving me the EIB. I am very happy! Quote
LEGENDDAN Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 WOW… Fantastic Job and congratulations Juan Manuel… rock on trooper Y como dice Rich, Bienvenido a la hermandad de TrooperMaster… Welcome to the TM brotherhood Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Congrats on Spain's EI #7. You guys are doing a fantastic job Quote
ObiHahn[TK] Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Looking great! I'll be building my own TM 1mm very soon, and have almost the same dimensions like you. TM fits the bigger boys, yeah! And welcome to the EIB ranks! Quote
CARSON[TK] Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Congratulations mate.Other EIB in the Spanish Garrison...... cool !! The armor you feel like a glove. Best regards. Carlos. Quote
Dmian Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Congrats Juanma! Wow! That was quick. But what can you expect with a TM built by Paul himself? Our EIB #7. I need to stir things up a bit at the garrison, as there are a couple of members that are quite there. Spanish Garrison: 7 EIBs, 4 Dark Lord Vaders, and hopefully we'll see some Lancers this year, more EIBs and more expert grade suits of different kind. Quote
Stormy320 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Hey guys - I'm trying to learn, not criticize. What if you made your forearms and legs tighter / thinner? I think it would look even better. Well done! Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 I think that the forearms look just fine! great suit! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Like Dennis said, it's good to see TM on a bigger guy - there's hope for me after all. Now get yourself some rubber gloves and latex handplates! Quote
Dmian Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Like Dennis said, it's good to see TM on a bigger guy - there's hope for me after all. Now get yourself some rubber gloves and latex handplates! AFAIK, those are ordered and on their way! (Were not included with the armor by mistake, but will arrive shortly ) Quote
Billhag Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Juan Congratulations, a fine looking suit and nicely executed submission. Well done Sir. PS Those forearms look fine to me as well Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 yet another easy pass!!! looks fantastic trooper approved!!!! I will agree that your armor Juan, is fantastic, and I don't like being a wet blanket, but the EIB "must" states that the gap between the kidney and ab should be closed. I would like to know if the rules have changed? If so I apologize and disregard this. If you look at one of the pictures, you will see what I am talking about. Like I said I am not trying to be unkind, I just thought that this was one of the requirments for getting your EIB. EIB Requirements MUST HAVE: * Armor side gaps should be closed. This should be done by adding a shim or shims of material that must be of similar material and color as the ab and back plate. Shims should fit flush and may have seams. Ideally they will be seamless if possible to the ab and/or back plate, resulting in a single seam between the ab/back rather than extra seams for where the shims are joined. BTW, The verbiage in the EIB states "back plate" which should actually be "kidney plate". Link to EIB Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 I think that may be as he moves. A side picture with his arm up would have been useful. If yo look at the other two pictures where his body is more straight on, both pix show a closed side gap. Quote
Dmian Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 I noticed that, but as that is one of the "action" shots, it could be something with the posture. Edit: could be similar to this (screen cap): /Edit. (Juanma, I told you to take pictures with the arms raised! ). I'll talk with him so he can submit proper pictures, and clear that point out. Quote
juanma255 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 Hi guys, I've done pictures of the sides for clarification. On the right is so, the type of hitch that part of the armor is, as the originals. The photos are not of very good quality for me I have had to do alone, sorry. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 I don't see a problem with those pictures. It's clearly as tight as it's possible to get without overlapping. Quote
SW1 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 If it dose not pass now you could always paint the sides of your under suite white only joking , should be fine mate Quote
