Good job trooper!

the only thing I see is the thickness of the ears.

 

other than that and the 4th tooth detail needs some more photo evidence

 

I have the mrce efx lid I moded for hero. and it requires the thinning of the ears.

both seams on the lid are pretty visible and the forearms should be fully closed.

you used velcro there if i see it correctly.

in my opinion you should remove the returnedge on the shoulderbells.

just my 2ct

[TK5492[TK]]

Thank you for your observations Sven. The seam is not ususally visible. It may be the lighting in this picture. I could try to re-fill it.

 

As to the forearms- I do not recall seeing in the CRL that the forearms MUST be glued shut. If so, I would never get my hand through with my gloves on.

 

And lastly, Isn't the return edge on the shoulder bells desireable and correct? I started a thread awhile back about replacing my chest and back and I was told to replace the shoulder bells as well for this very reason. Also, in every other ANH EI application I looked at, everyone had a return edge.

like i said in my opinion there should be no return edge.

its a snug fit then.

i have a mrc for display aswell and it was pain to close those seams but you can make them disappear completely and it looks much better trust me.

http://www.501st.de/board/index.php?topic=270.555 check it out.

but painting is required.

no must to glue the forearms but theres always a gap now since velcro is thick.

most tks have them glued shut.

[TK5492[TK]]

I see now what you are saying. There is a gap because of the velcro but the only time it is visible is when it is close like that. I believe sometimes small things must be done to maintain practicality as well as accuracy.

 

You're MRCE is very nice. I can attempt to try to make the seam better.

[Dr.Senf]

its the extra mile to make it even better with little efford.

your choice and descision when you re satisfied

[Locitus[Admin]]

While there may still be room for improvement, I'd say this is one of the better mrce/fx-combos I've seen in a long time. Good job!

 

 

Approved!

[Thalizar[TK]]

Way to go Tyler!

[TK5492[TK]]

Wow, Thank you so much!

 

It's an honor. I couldn't have done it without everyone on these boards. Thank you.
