LadyInWhite[TK] Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 Sweet! Lookin good, Fernando! Quote
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 I think the ammo belt on the right thigh needs to have more curve than just a rounded off corner. Other than that, looks good to me. Quote
captsafe66[Admin] Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Very nice build!! Will be an easy pass! You may want to trim the scews on the inside of your helmet, I scratched my face on one like that once... Quote
Faie[TK] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Looks great , nice job, Fernando!!! Edited August 8, 2012 by Faie Quote
Dr.Senf Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) From what i can see so far, from my mobile browser is that the tubestripes are wrong applied. They re leaning backwards but they should lean forward. And the ammo belt need some more trimming. Regards Dr. Edited August 8, 2012 by Dr.Senf Quote
matt black Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 No, Fernando's tube stripes are correct. They are supposed to lean backwards. Quote
Dr.Senf Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 I think its lost in translation ; ) I mean it looks on the view from the left that the stripes are lower close to the ear than in the front. But the frontpic shows that the angle is actually right. So my fault. Dr. Quote
DarthChridan[TK] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 I agree with Senf. It should look like this---> http://www.starwarshelmets.com/2008/DaveMANH08.jpg http://www.starwarshelmets.com/2008/DaveMANH02.jpg Compare Fernando's helmet with the original helmet. Then you can see that the tubestripes are reversed. Quote
matt black Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Fernando's stripes are curved the same way as in the pic of the screen used helmet. The curves point towards the rear of the helmet. Quote
DarthChridan[TK] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Well, everyone sees it differently....it must decide Mathias/Locitus. But if we already count peas, the number of stripes is also too little. But I know, because of the AP helmet it's not better possible. Edited August 8, 2012 by DarthChridan Quote
matt black Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 They look the same to me By bsac15 at 2012-08-08 By bsac15 at 2012-08-08 Quote
DarthChridan[TK] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Like I wrote..."everyone sees it differently....it must decide Mathias/Locitus".... Perhaps it is ok for the Centurion.... Quote

But if we already count peas, the number of stripes is also too little. But I know, because of the AP helmet it's not better possible. The number of stripes although less than most is still accurate. They varied very much from helmet to helmet in the movie. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1468&hl=how%20many%20tube%20stripes#entry17650 Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 Fernando, how do you feel about trimming down your thighs a bit more? They are clearly too big for you. Alternatively I suppose you could gain some 25 Kg, but i think trimming is quicker and healthier. Quote
Dr.Senf Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Lol we re talking about different things here. Of course are the curves correct. Nobody would apply them the wrong way. My first thought was he put the one for the left side on the right side like i did on my ap in the beginning. Like this: http://1.1.1.2/bmi/i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-24.jpg They re switched and leaning backwards. And on the ap lid you cannot apply all stripes due to its small size. Edited August 9, 2012 by Dr.Senf Quote
Dr.Senf Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 it should look like this to be accurate. ma AP lid http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-26.jpg[/img] http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-27.jpg[/img] http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-28.jpg[/img] http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-29.jpg[/img] http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc436/drsenf/image-30.jpg[/img] maybe now you know what i mean with leaning forward and backwards, he just switched left and right. does nobody else realize? are we just german nitpicker??? i think its a detail wich should not be overseen since the tubestripes are a key detail of the lid. otherwise its a nice build,slimmer thights, ammo belt fixed, stripes redone and its a nice Centurion. Regards Dr. Quote
matt black Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Sorry Sven but I still don't know what you mean. I'm pretty sure that the tube stripes are the same for the left and right side. Maybe I am missing something. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 Sven, fo you mean the slanting of the stripes? Quote
Dr.Senf Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 ok maybe that will help leaning backwards--- wrong leaning forward--accurate Quote
matt black Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 I'm not too sure. As the originals were hand painted they were a bit all over the place and not very uniform. We will just have to see what Mathias thinks Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 While it is a nice catch of you Sven, and something I would not mind seeing as a future requirement, it's nothing that I'll be taking into consideration this time. Quote
