FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Hi Billy, i'm going to recommend 3 easy adjustments for your EIB application. 1. Front AB belt, the corner cuts should be diagonal cuts not rounded as appearing in the pictures. Cut to meet your canvas belt. 2. A bit of trimming is required on your thigh ammo pack to bring the rivet a little closer, to appear closer to the corner. 3. Your forearms need pulling up a bit so that they are not sitting on your wrist and appear in between your elbow and wrists. Are they strapped, or foam packed? Nearly there trooper. Quote
billster78 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 cheers fella! leave them with me ill get them sorted! the forearms are neither foam or strapped as my forearms are quite big and fill them so never needed to pack them that was just an overlook on my part when i wore the armour for the pics they pull up real easy............silly me should have checked haha thanks for looking though Quote
Dazauto[TK] Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Nice build and some great armour Billy, as Phil said a few easy fixes and you should be there Good luck mate and it will be great to see another set of BFA armour in the ranks Edited July 3, 2013 by Dazauto Quote
captsafe66[Admin] Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Great build!! Almost there Trooper! Quote
Minuteman Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Hey Billy! Nice suit you got there! One thing I could add: If it really is like I think it is from looking at your pictures (especially the one below) You need to rework the paint of your teeth. The space between the teeth was not painted gray, it was left white. Take a look yours: I hope it is the shadow that makes the space in between look grey, but if not you need to remove this paint. And the original: Quote
billster78 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 its fine im now having probs uploading pics it keeps sayin too large even when i resize to minute :/ Quote

FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 How to post pics Open up a free of charge Photobucket account. Upload your pictures to your Photobucket using their easy uploader routine. Once the picture is there You have an option to see the photos hosting properties. Click on or copy the [img/] line of code. You simply paste that in your post here. You can either type a description or comment the paste the code after. Or just past the code in its own reply. Good luck and we look forward to seeing your pics. Quote
billster78 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Posted July 7, 2013 alritey then! i got my 12 year old daughter to do the pics for me and she did it in seconds........*facepalm* so the Belt mod is in an earlier pic and above is the forearms adjusted plus the cell boxes/ammo boxes on the thigh re-trimmed if the lid is still an issue to anyone i can show a pic of the gap also Quote
billster78 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Posted July 7, 2013 not suure why the forearm pic is so small ill make it bigger and send again Quote
Dazauto[TK] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Billy I dont think the gaps between the teeth was the issue Steffen had, he was talking about the grey paint had been carried on around the frown similar to the pic below This is not the way to do it and im sure you have not done this and its just the shadows on your pics playing tricks and making it look so. If possible could you post up a pic or two to show its just the teeth that are painted grey. Good luck mate Quote
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Billy Can you clean up the teeth area? Just the teeth should be grey, as mentioned in the basic CRL, The EIB CRL states that the helmet decals and paint need to be correctly painted so it can't just be ignored. Try scraping the excess paint with a wooden toothpick first. If that doesn't do it, then you can use enamel paint thinners on a cotton ear bud, then wipe off with a tissue. Here is good reference. http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-stormtrooper-helmets-sub-submenu.htm ESB and ROTJ helmets tend to be painted full mouth as yours is. Quote
