Looks very nice!! Good luck Trooper!!!

[Locitus[Admin]]

Not all too bad, but the paint job on the helmet could use some tidying up and the tube stripes are really low and should sit closer to the cheeks. The full body photos are all too small and grainy for me to make a proper review. Please post new ones.

[grindking[TK]]

I will post better photos as soon as I can. I will also fix the paint job on my helmet. It will take me a few days to repaint it because of my work schedule.

[Locitus[Admin]]

Excellent.

[Dr.Senf]

Hi there,

i have a small suggestion,

your shoulder bells need some tiny adjustement i think and on the pics it looks like your biceps and forearms are a bit too big,

if you would try to make them more fittet to your body it would look sooooo much better!!

exept the paintingdetails you ve done a clean build.

 

Regards Dr

[jnnfr72[TK]]

Looking forward to your new pics! Good luck

[grindking[TK]]

Just an update. I ran into issues fixing the paint job on my helmet....had some bleeding from the stencil on my tube stripes. I am cleaning that up today. I will get new full body shots when i do a troop on tuesday and will post all the updated pictures that night.

[captsafe66[Admin]]

Just take your time, we will wait.

[grindking[TK]]

Took me a bit longer then i expected to get photos taken...plus I had to order inner drop boxes because of the new requirements.

 

Here are the new full body shots. hopefully they are better than the first ones posted if not i will take new ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inner drop boxes and split rivets

 

 

 

 

 

Repainted the tube stripes so they weren't sitting so low and tried to clean up the rest of the paint job on my helmet.

Congratulations on your modifications.

Your suit looks much better.

 

My observations are advice only.

 

The Darman holster is renowned for being too long.

The holster should not extend beyond the bottom of your thigh.

The general consensus is to holster your blaster and them trim the excess from below the muzzle.

 

The canvas belt is supposed to be narrower than the front AB ammo belt. The 45 degree corner curves taper the wider AB belt to meet the canvas belt.

 

I still feel like your forearms are too wide near your elbow area, thus detracting your look in away from form fitting. You are lucky that the DO seems to not be concerned with this area.

Hmmm.

Brads v's Split rivet fun

I am working on resizing my my forearms and biceps. I just haven't figured out exactly how i am going to trim the forearms down yet. I don't want to take to much of the ridge off and ruin the look of the forearm. I will end up trimming my holster when i finish fixing my forearms.

Only trim in the back. That's where you do the sizing. Leave the front as it is. I'd also recommend another coat of black around your ears, tears and traps. It will help smooth out the lines and make them less jagged.

 

I hope it's going well for you.

[grindking[TK]]

I did resize my forearms and biceps and i feel they look so much better than they did. I will be taking new photos on my next day off. I will smooth out the black lines before I take the photos as well. Thanks everyone for your input on what I needed to fix up on my armor....it's been frustrating at times but it is making my armor look even better.

[Mogwai[TK]]

Looks great so far. For a better look and comfort, you could trim the returnedge on the Sides and the Bottom of your Chest a little bit more.

I did that too with my ATA, and it looks much better now.

It is not a requirement, so it is up to you.

[grindking[TK]]

Finally took new photos today.

 

Cleaned up the helmet:

 

 

 

 

 

Resized my forearms and biceps...also my holster so it doesn't hang past my knee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Locitus[Admin]]

Well done!

 

You're approved!

[grindking[TK]]

Awesome! It's been a long frustrating ordeal to reach this goal but well worth it. I am proud to say I am the first Centurion in the Ohio Garrison! I would like to say thanks to all those that gave me such helpful advice on my journey to making this possible.
