captsafe66[Admin] Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Looks Great! Good Luck Trooper! Quote
HawkFan24 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Awesome build! Great looking armour, my only suggestion would be to taper the corners of your frown, they are a bit squared off. I had the same thing on mine to but it's an easy fix! Here is a reference pic.... Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 You are missing a few pictures young man. I need a full side shot of your helmet, a close-up of your hovi mic tip detail, a picture of your thermal detonator, and a shot of each side of your blaster( make sure the "D" ring is visible. Quote
Rich330[TK] Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 Looking very good in general. Here is some general build advice to improve the overall look. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19372-correct-bicep-to-forearm-connection-anhesb-video-and-photo-references/ Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 18, 2014 Report Posted May 18, 2014 Also add to your photo list a pic of your interior strapping Quote
Vader Rocks Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Nice looking build trooper, good luck Quote
Vader’s Wingman[501st] Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Looks awesome Stuart! Great build! You are one tall trooper. As Steve mentioned you are missing some photos so I will comment on what I see. For EIB and the pictures provided this should be an easy pass. Moving forward to Centurion there are a couple things I notice. The brackets that hold your thermal detonator are in to the center too far. They should be close to touching or touching the end caps.(1/8th inch gap between brackets and end caps) Also your under armor looks a bit loose in spots especially on your torso/arm area. You may want to go a size smaller to get a tighter look. This may or may not be an issue, but I think the return edge on your butt plate is a little excessive and may need to be trimmed. Your holster straps may also be a little too wide. They should be 20mm or smaller across. And I see you already have the chemical gloves but you will need the rubber hand guards if you are going to try for Centurion. Your sniper knee plate also looks like it could use a bit of trimming and sharpening up on the part that rises above the shin. Another little detail that sharpens up the helmet is spreading a bit of gloss white model paint on some paper or cardboard and dipping your Hovi MIC tips straight down into the paint so the ring around the mesh is white. Ok, I'm done. Lol. Kudos on a great build! As always, please wait for Steve to give his instruction before making any changes! Good luck! Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Also don't forget to post pictures of your blaster if you ever want to be approved. Both sides and a back pic (for the D-ring). And Jason, although i mostly agree with you on your points, i clearly disagree on this one. Another little detail that sharpens up the helmet is spreading a bit of gloss white model paint on some paper or cardboard and dipping your Hovi MIC tips straight down into the paint so the ring around the mesh is white. And in the end it's the same thing than asking for the boots to be scuffed. Doesn't make sense if you stormtrooper is a shiny one: Edited May 28, 2014 by The5thHorseman Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 Aside from the correct shape of the original hovi tip, they have never been scrutinized to that level. As long as they have screen and they are the right shape they are good. Quote
