bigironvault Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Looks really good but I'm biased! Quote
TK5492[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Wow. You have done an outstanding job. I think this will be an easy one for Mathias. You've definitely done your research and covered all the bases beautifully. Plus your armor fits you perfectly. Impressive... most impressive. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Looking great Charles, good luck with approval Quote

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 great looking kit! Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks everyone, fingers crossed! In my excitement to post, I forgot to put ANH Stunt in the title of the thread. Perhaps a moderator or Matthias can correct this once he sun rises over the pond. Have a great night. Quote
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Way to go, Clamps! Title edited. Quote

Locitus[Admin] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Good work. Clearly shows thought was put into the build. All I can really comment on are that the legs look a bit wide down around the knee. You can make them slimmer, and you would look better. The frown would look better if it didn't stop "flat" with straight edges. Make it taper out. The ears could be better as well as the vocoder. What you want to use for the vocoder is a flat brush that has a half-circle cut. It's called a filbert brush sometimes. And I understand if it's somewhat terrifying, but you really should paint the hengstler and not leave the cut out brass. With that said, you are approved! Quote
bigironvault Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Yay another Centurion for the Tantive IV Boarding Party! And Canada. Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Thank you Matthias very much for the approval and feedback. I will work to integrate the recommendations as my work schedule allows, as well as, I gotta put a bit more Family time on the priority list. It's an honor to be part of the Centurion ranks. I will do all I can to share what I learned/am learning to try to bring more folks to the Centurion level. Again. Thank you for the suggestions and support. TK-Clamps is a happy trooper! Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 Yay another Centurion for the Tantive IV Boarding Party! And Canada. Whoohoo! Canadian Garrison Centurion #2! Quote

I repaired once thinking I had the right brush. Finally got the right one and tried o touch up. But your right. It needs work. What is the best/safe paint removal method? 2. No problem on the frown, easy fix. 3. Can you clarify on the ears? Is it a paint issue? My hands are not so steady. But I can retry when a touch up is needed. 4. Painting the hengstler brass is another easy 5min fix. I dunno why I chose to not Paint it. Facepalm. 5. I'll see what I can do on the thighs, that's the one I want to take my time and do right.

Locitus[Admin] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 I've redone my vocoder 3 times before I got happy with it. I just sanded the paint off with 400 grit paper. The ears can just be a little tidier. Maybe the black stripe around could have a little less sharp corners. Good luck Quote
JEDISTAR[TK] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Wow great work bro! That armor fits you really good, congrats on the status!! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Congrats Charles well done Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks Glen and Charlie (great name btw). Keith (bigironvault) and I had Centurion as the goal from the very beginning and 6+ months of research and reading reading and more reading has finally paid off!! Now its time to take a breather and then work on the little recommended tweaks and troop more to make sure everything is feeling and holding together well! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Been watching your build from early on and have definately been inspired to aim for centuion from the get go. Enjoy your long earned breather and happy trooping Sir Edited October 1, 2012 by gmrhodes13 Quote
