You may want to raise the back plate a little. For centurion you can't have any overlap with the kidney.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Yeah I saw that, but actually its the Kidney riding up

 

I'll try and fix it with some velcro between the belt and the kidney.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

I'm done and pictures are sent to the GML for approval

 

 

When its approved I can touch up on all the little things, like painting the rivets and such. But basic approval for now.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Forgot the helmet

 

[Locitus[Admin]]

Looking good trooper!

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Thanks

[Locitus[Admin]]

Now start working on the EI application

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Need Tobias to approved the basic first, dont I???

 

Otherwise I can send in the EIB right away I believe.

As far as I can see the only thing keeping me from Centurion, is the charging handle on the E-11...

Oh and that pesky back plate...

You need GML approval for trooping with this costume. I do not see how it would affect this detachment though. We don't control what you can and can't do IRL, we only award nice looking costumes and do research and development.

 

As long as you are a 501st and detachment member that is.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Hmmm... EIB it is then

[Locitus[Admin]]

Just make sure pictures are high quality (haven't been a problem so far;) ) and all the requirements are easily seen in the pictures.

[Sparrow]

Wow that was one fast build! Looks great!

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Thanks

 

And yeah it was fast...almost too fast... I miss working on it allready

[Sparrow]

I know, I am going through withdrawl. However I got a lot of feedback for some tweeks, so I'm not done yet!

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

I dont think we ever get really done hehe... We can always tweek some little thing... But the big parts are always the best

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Oh and Mathias... Done

Congratulation to your EIB and a nice result you have build!

 

Have a nice troop

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Thanks

Train leaves in about 2 hours and then I have a 4 and ½ hour trip ahead of me. I'm gonna sleep in the train me thinks

[Locitus[Admin]]

Have fun on the troop!

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Thanks, I will

Great build and great build thread, Morten.

 

One slight adjustment I think you should make ....

 

I would like to see you work on the connection between the chest and abdomen & back and kidney respectively. The back overlaps and ideally it should not overlap at all. The originals were connected in such a way that it was impossible for them to overlap. Work on this. Shorten the elastic connecting these parts and get the two parts to align flush with no overlap.

At the front, the same thing applies. The chest should overlap a little but quite a bit less than yours does. You may not need to adjust anything at the front once you've sorted out the back as the entire lower part of the assembly will shift downwards.

There's no reason for you to have the armour scrunched up in a small zone in the middle of your body. You're a tall chap yo you can spread it out better.

Doing this will also close up the gap between the groin area and your thighs. I see a little too much black at the moment.

 

A quick easy fix but it will improve your authentic TK look a lot.

Front:

 

 

Me: 1.72m / 5'8" in height and still made it work ....

 

 

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Good pointers, and I will definetly look into it, when I get back home from this troop

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Okay, I have been thinking about how to correct the overlapping problem with the back and chest and here's what I think I need to do.

 

I need to do a bit of heat bending on the tabs that goes from the back and on to the shoulders. This should lift it up a bit.

 

Also I need to do a bit more work on the cod, and either cut or heatbend again, to make it slimmer.

I noticed during the troop this weekend that my thighs are pushing the cod up, because its too wide, and therefore making such a big overlap of the chest piece.

 

I have tried to illustrate this in paint. Let me know what you guys think.

The red lines indicate where I would need to heatbend or cut.

 

[Locitus[Admin]]

No, no and no!

 

Just make the elastic in the shoulders shorter, so you pull everything higher up and that should fix it.
