SIMpixels Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 Thumbs up to all your work and build threads Si ! Ā Cheers Phil, won't be long now! Ā Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 Hi all. Ā Just my hand plates to finish, I'm halfway through painting them at the moment. Other than that (and a spot of paint on my knee ammo cap rivets) I'm done! Ā I'm so excited and couldn't resist suiting up fully for the first time last night and snapping a couple of pics for my instagram followers: Ā Ā I shall post some better pre-clearance pics soon so you can advise on any areas that may need tweaking before I submit proper. Ā It's 42 days from when my brown box arrived. I'm pretty pleased with that for my first kit. Ā Si. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Nice work there Si, looks good on you, can't wait to see more pics Quote
Jancelot[TK] Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Looking good and congrats! Only a full year faster then my build. Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Posted January 10, 2013 Nice work there Si, looks good on you, can't wait to see more pics Ā Looking good and congrats! Only a full year faster then my build. Ā Thanks fellas, more pics on their way! Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Posted January 10, 2013 Hi gang, Ā Set up the studio tonight and got my girlfriend to snap a few pics. Ā I know I won't be applying for EIB/Cent until I lose enough bulk to get my side gaps where they need to be, these pics are for your comments prior to me submitting for basic approval. I'm aching to get my TK digits! Ā So, do you think there is there anything glaringly obvious that would stop me getting accepted? Ā Si. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Looks pretty damm good to me, send them off for spproval ASAP, well done Si Quote
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Sweet pics Si. Easy clearance via UKG. Then get your name down on the legoland reserves for may and you'll loose loads of weight walking up and down the big hill Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Glen. Ā Yes, I'll do that Phil, but I'm seriously hoping that the weight will be already gone by then. Ā Few more pics. Ā Ā Quote
Echo[TK] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Very nice! Ā Ā Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Bulldog44[TK] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Great photos of all the details. The whole suit looks awesome! Quote
Billhag Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Sod the side gaps and whether itĆ¢ā¬ā¢s right or wrong for approval for one accolade or another,... that Sir, is one frigging SAHHH-WEEEET build. I doff my hat to you in respect and appreciation of such fine and outstanding work. Ā See, folks now thatĆ¢ā¬ā¢s whatĆ¢ā¬ā¢s achievable when you take your time, do your research, ask the right questions and seek, and more importantly, listen and take onboard advice and information from the RIGHT people who really do know what they are talking about. Ā Ā Si, the only Ć¢ā¬ĖNit-PickĆ¢ā¬ā¢ (apart from a little tweak here and there to get it to sit better) is the drop boxes. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ohh, and maybe get 3-4 coats of shoe whitener on the belt to get it looking pretty darn sexy Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Of course you do know that in addition to my Armoury role in the UKG, I am now Deputy GML, which means I get to approve (or reject) potential members submitted costumes, Ā ..........mate, this oneĆ¢ā¬ā¢s a Ć¢ā¬Ėno brainerĆ¢ā¬ā¢ Ā Ā Ā PS Loving the black pan heads,...nice touch Ā Ā .

Locitus[Admin] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Looking good there buddy! Ā Don't worry too much about those gaps. I'd rather approve that long before a shoddy shim job. Ā Just remember to pull down those biceps some more. Quote
Ravenwood[TK] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 very nice. excellent work and terrific pictures. Good job, I am sure it will sail through. I hope to have mine finished soon, still waiting for the holster I ordered back in November last year and that is really the last piece I am waiting for. Quote
troopermaster Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Superb job, Si. Everything looks awesome! Ā All your hard work has definitely paid off and the armour fits you incredibly well. I am really impressed with everything. Ā Well done mate Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Posted January 11, 2013 Very nice! Ā Thank you! Ā Great photos of all the details. The whole suit looks awesome! Ā Thanks Brian!

Any "sit better" tips you have I'll gladly take on board. I shall get some whitener tonight but as for the drop boxes, I'll end up wrecking it if I change them now but I'll know better for my next build, Ā I've PM'd you over on UKG about clearance, hopefully I'll be official pretty soon. And I've got Paul to thank for those black pan head screws. Ā Cheers pal. Ā Looking good there buddy! Ā Don't worry too much about those gaps. I'd rather approve that long before a shoddy shim job. Ā Just remember to pull down those biceps some more. Ā That's good to know, thank you Mathias. I'll redo my bicep hooks tonight so that they sit lower (and shorten my elbow elastic too). Ā very nice. excellent work and terrific pictures. Good job, I am sure it will sail through. I hope to have mine finished soon, still waiting for the holster I ordered back in November last year and that is really the last piece I am waiting for. Ā Thank you Jeremy, I hope you get your holster soon. Ā Superb job, Si. Everything looks awesome! Ā All your hard work has definitely paid off and the armour fits you incredibly well. I am really impressed with everything. Ā Well done mate Ā Praise indeed, thank you Paul. But I think you know what I'm going to say next... Ā I couldn't have done such a good job without such great armour. Ā I have read similar words on many forum posts during my research and while there are hundreds of descriptions and photos of your stuff scattered across all corners of the internet, nothing could have prepared me for what an absolute work of art this kit is. Ā From the sweeping contours to the finest details, it has been an absolute joy to work with. I'm so glad I could do it justice. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 That's good to know, thank you Mathias. I'll redo my bicep hooks tonight so that they sit lower (and shorten my elbow elastic too). When the biceps are (or nearly are) touching the top of the forearms with your arms straight down, that's when you know you've hit the mark. Quote
Geaux Saints[TK] Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Great job, Si! Awesome pics! TM makes some great armor (I own the 1.5 mm TM armor)! It looks fantastic! The biceps hooks technique looks great. Quote

SIMpixels Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) I'm absolutely buzzing! Ā Two hours ago I received confirmation that my armour was cleared by the UKG and then 20 minutes ago I got the email welcoming me to the 501st. Ā I'm now officially TK 69069. Woohoo! Ā I've posted on the 501st access thread, just have to get my induction troop sorted out. Ā I won't sleep tonight! lol Ā Si. Edited January 12, 2013 by SIMpixels Quote
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted January 12, 2013 Report Posted January 12, 2013 Well done Si. I thought you were an easy pass. Now put your name down on the May Legoland reserves so I can troop with you. I can't do the Telford one that you've signed up for as your induction Quote

I can't do the Telford one that you've signed up for as your induction Ā Cheers Phil. I don't think I'll be able to make Legoland though, Vicki has a milestone birthday around that time, we may be elsewhere that weekend. Ā Fear not though, our trooping paths will cross before the year is out, I'm sure of it. Quote
SIMpixels Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Posted January 12, 2013 Congrats, and updated. Ā That was quick! Thanks Mathias? Quote
