BananoPower22[TK] Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 its been a while since i saw a hero around here. loving it!! Quote

SolderMaster Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) The only thing that I would do is tighten up your left side strapping. If you could close the gap just a bit more, I think you could be in the CRL. But that's just me being an anal armor jerk!! Great work on your Hero build!!!! I'm jealous of your TM armor....SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!! Edited January 10, 2012 by SolderMaster Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Man.... I wish I could fit into a TM. It looks great on you. I'm (as they say back in MA) wicked jealous. I can't tell... is that a hero style neckseal you have on there? Besides Brian's observation about the side gaps.... I have two nitpicky suggestions. Your biceps could come up a little... and your chest pulled down a bit to keep the back off the kidney. I really had to struggle to say anything at all other than "wow." You're a few photos away from centurion... I think just pics of scuffed boots, closeup of both knees and the usual helmet details. Nicely done right out of the gate! Aloha, -Eric Quote
troopermaster Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) If you could close the gap just a bit more Your biceps could come up a little... Ignore both these suggestions. You have the biceps set perfectly and EVERYONE else has them too high which is WRONG! I think you have been looking at too many replicas to come up with this conclusion. ONLY use screen caps when building armour, NOT other peoples interpretations of what is seen on screen as 9 times out of 10 they usually get it WRONG A bit of a gap at the sides is fine and I think the 'no gap' rule is a bit stupid seeing how the gaps can be seen in the movies. But, I will agree with DA and say the back plate could be higher to stop the overalp onto your kidney plate. Do this by making the back shoulder tabs closer to the chest shoulder tabs. If they are already touching then you will have to cut the back tabs to allow the back to ride up higher. Edited January 10, 2012 by troopermaster Quote

Amen! Flippin' sexy hero! Paul, Have you reshaped your biceps since I last bought armour from you? Or have I just been crap at putting them together? They look absolutely gorgeous on this suit.

sharptrooper Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 In reply to the suggestion for my back piece just spotted that myself which is strange as it sits in line with kidney in other pics I got must admit these are self taken pics and this is the best out of around 50 or so taken lol will get the back and kidney straight shot up tonight :-) but thanks for the comments guys means alot :-) Quote
troopermaster Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Paul, Have you reshaped your biceps since I last bought armour from you? Yeah, I've done a bit of work on the biceps and a few other parts of the armour recently. Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, I've done a bit of work on the biceps and a few other parts of the armour recently. Very nice. Quote
sharptrooper Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 The biceps was one of the first part I built and I must say hat off to u Paul they went together like a dream just a little man handling nothing major and one nice set of gorgeous biceps :-) Quote
sharptrooper Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 @Eric yeah the neck seal is hero mate :-) all hero bits added from the start Quote
Billhag Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Ade Looking good there fella Listen to Paul, leave the biceps alone Clearance won’t be an issue mate, you’re good to go in my book. All that’s needed is some tweaking here and there to get it to sit on you better No biggy mate, just a little bit of playing around. Amen! Flippin' sexy hero! Paul, Have you reshaped your biceps since I last bought armour from you? Or have I just been crap at putting them together? They look absolutely gorgeous on this suit. Rich In my position as Chief Armourer for the UKG I’ve been lucky enough to be ask to help and also completely build untold amount of sets of armour for new and existing members. Over the last 12-18 months it’s been my privilege to build many of Paul’s fantastic creations and mate you would not believe the amount of changes that he has made throughout the whole of the suit in this time. In fact, it’s become my favorite little game with others TM owners of either ‘spot-the-difference’ or tell them when it was made and how it’s now changed. Here’s a few of the many obvious, and non obvious ones that may have escaped peoples notice. · Chest Plate, · Main Ab section (changed again over the last couple months) · Bell’s · Bicep’s · Forearms · Thighs · Shins · Sniper Knee plate · TD centre panel Not to mention the helmet, this has changed at least 3-4 times and continues to do so. . It’s been a wonderful thing watching the evolution of TM armour over the years and Paul’s unstoppable quest (some may say obsession) for perfection as been joy to behold, as I’m sure it will continue to be over the many years to come. . I’ve got to say, whatever your personal preference for armour is, there is no denying or escaping the fact that TM is in a class of its own. It’s beautiful, …pure and simple. Bring on the next two builds I have waiting for me.......he-he-he,.....ohhh, it doesn't get much better . Edited January 10, 2012 by Billhag Quote

sharptrooper Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Posted January 10, 2012 Close up of what mate??? The helmet or armour lol Cheers billy a fountain of knowledge as usual and some history of the continual evolution of TM armour :-) cheers dude Quote

Bring on the next two builds I have waiting for me.......he-he-he,.....ohhh, it doesn't get much better . I have bought and built a total of 4 full sets of armour. It's not without good reason that I was talking to Paul again today about making number 5 another TM Great summary of the changes too, mate. Looking forward to getting my hands on another kit to see how many modifications I can spot since the last one. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Yeah I see nothing wrong with the biceps. If I had long enough arms I'd wear them like that myself. As Paul said, screen shots and photos of the real deal are the only valid references for true accuracy. It's easy to get a tainted picture of what looks "right" by looking at too many replicas. But this only serves to add to the problem. Awesome hero costume mate. You'l be cleared in no time with that! Edited January 13, 2012 by Locitus Quote
