Trying on for adjustments. A few more things and I'm done.

 

1. Repaint helmet.

2. Make holsters. E-11 and SR

3. Waiting on my rubber handplates and gloves.

 

This is the trooper that I modeled my self as. A few things of on my part that I left off, but that's due to my height and preference.

Nice!

[BIDS[TK]]

Nice build Arturo, very clean.

 

My only suggestion would be some foam to pad out the left calf and stop the sniper plate being caught under the thigh, would hate to see you break the plate or crack the bottom thight join. Mine was doing the same and I used a foam builder knee pad cut down. Not only did it fix the sniper plate problem, it also stopped the calf from rotating to a crooked position while I was wearing it.

[Seeker[TK]]

Thanks guys. Great suggestion Bids. Yeah these shins are not made for a human beings. lol. I'm gonna ad some. I would like to glue them on the shin itself. I wonder if its ok before I apply for EIB?

That won't be a problem, Arturo.

[Seeker[TK]]

Thank you Locitus!

One of my favorite shots of this try out photo-shoot.

 

[Seeker[TK]]

And this one. I just need to be 150 lbs and four inches taller. lol

 

[Ravenwood[TK]]

looks awesome. I got mine finished and photos done yesterday but being only 5'7" it doesn't look as good on me as it does on you very nice work

[Seeker[TK]]

You're actually taller then me. I'm 5'6" at 175 lbs.

 

I'm planning to get down to 160 lbs, then I'll take my final EIB photos.

WOW you must of really trimmed the top of your thighs. I am 5'7" and 195lbs so I had to shim mine. Here is my finished TK

 

[Seeker[TK]]

looks nice. I didnt trim the top of the thighs. Only the bottom of the shins.

 

I also have the codpiece/ab piece section a little higher then normal. That is why my belt is a bit lower too like yours. I wanted to have that even look to myself.

[Ravenwood[TK]]

I think I will use some foam in the thighs to position them better. Any rocomendations on what type of foam to use?

[Jancelot[TK]]

I use high density foam and cut it with a bread knife. Apply with hot glue. Cheap and easily replaceable. Just want to make sure the green isn't visible. I've been looking for a white alternative but haven't found one yet.

 

Airtex High Density Foam
