Baldenwonder Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Cool I look forward to seeing the pics, I didn't want to criticise and cause any offence but thought just a little would be spot on Great to have the authentic straight off the set feel! Quote
SW1 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 Ohh yes and also trimmed the eyes down a little on the helmet Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Love the helmet, looks like you nailed the look. This pvc is looks super glossy, how is it compared to abs. Quote
SW1 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks Nick , yes the PVC is ultra glossy mate , i will take some pics of the arms in natraul light so you can see how glossy they are Quote
SW1 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 Ohh and it is glosser than natural ABS but a very good match to Glossed Capped ABS Quote

Trooperman Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) looking forward to seeing this complete , fantastic eye for detail Edited February 5, 2012 by Trooperman Quote
troopermaster Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 Looks like dropped a boo-boo with the belt snaps mate. Quote
SW1 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Posted February 5, 2012 @ Paul , do you mean i dont have the female snaps level with the cap rivits mate ? , if so i know why this is because i put the male snaps on the abb ,before i got the belt and because i wanted the top of the belt to slightly cover the bottom button on the plate thats the only place i could put the female snaps , also i noticed its going to be very tight to put the drop boxes elastics in between the female snaps and the end cap rivits but after looking at the origanal belt you can the elastics have quite a bit worn out of them in the middle like half a circle or were they cut back in the day from having the same probleam .

SCTrooper[TK] Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Wow! It's got to be so awesome to wear that suit out on a troop. Edited February 5, 2012 by SCTrooper Quote
Trooper1972 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Looks Awesome Steve, Can wait to see it complete and in the flesh Quote
troopermaster Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Both points really mate. You can see on the original belt (and on other originals) that the snap is at least half way into the ammo box on each end where niether of your snaps are which leaves you hardly any room for the elastic on the drop boxes. You can still fit the drop boxes but you will have to almost cut the elastic all the way across in order to slip it between the rivet and snap. For future reference with the ab snaps it would be best to offer your plastic ammo belt to your ab plate and mark the middle of each end ammo block on your ab plate so you know where to fit them. Fitting them by eye (which I think you have done) has not left you with hardly any room for the drop box elastic. If you had gone any wider then I don't think you would have a chance with the drop box elastic. The other nitpick is not putting the snaps in the midddle of the belt. I see this all the time and personally I don't like to see it (especially on more accuate suits). There just is no reason not to put them in the middle of your belt. Last nitpick is your tube stripes. You have put them on the wrong side. Hopefully now you don't have any more nits to pick Quote
SW1 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 Some good advisery points there Paul all taken aboard , i never did like them tube strips so thats a result i mean i used french blue might go for humbrol medaterian blue Quote

Rich330[TK] Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Very nice, mate! This PVC should come with a glare warning: do not look directly at the shiny PVC without sun glasses! Quote
