After five or six weeks of work in the damp basement, some swearing and a lot of cash, my ESB TK is complete. My application and photos have been submitted. Check out the results below!

 

Time to get trooping!

Looks awesome, buddy. Really nice build.

One thing you might want to do is lower the biceps a tad to not show as much black between the biceps and forearms. Totaly up to you of course. It's all personal preference.

Wow... a good looking ESB trooper so far.... ...which armor is it?

...but i think the shoulder stripes are glued too wide in the area, if you unterstand what i mean. But that is only my opinion

[n0c00lgamertag]

It's an ATA build. And yes, the shoulder bells had rotated back during the photo shoot. I am working on a remedy for that.

But like i wrote, this is only my opinion

Otherwise a really great ESB build mate ....i like especially the helmet with the high browtrim.

Cheers....

the shoulder straps do look like they sit a bit too far down onto the chest

They don't look too bad.---------------

That was my first stumbling block in my build. I was using the pictures in the armor build tutorial and actually counted the number of notches that were present on the chest plate and then SECURELY glued them down so I don't think they are getting moved. It didn't give me much wiggle room when it came to attaching the straps to the back plate. I have however, noticed that some seem down farther than others depending on the picture you look at, like the one of Luke...

Thank for that picture, I can't get into the FISD tutorial forum for the picture I used, but mine have the same number of slats or notches as in this picture.

 

Thanks for the other tips on the build everyone!

Ok...but this is the 'luke-trooper' chest....anyway he was too small..

But the matter on the left tigh armor with the finish stripe, that i would change.

We agree on almost all

[n0c00lgamertag]

Was finally able to get into WhiteArmor.net! Here is the picture I used for reference. I counted the number of ridges and made mine the same...
