Yeebeme[TK] Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 A big box of brand spanking new TM armour arrived the other day. Will be going ESB for this one, the world needs more ESB troopers Just got stuck in and trimmed a few parts, finished the cover strips on the left forearm and bicep and just waiting for the e6000 to cure on the right forearm and bicep right now. If anything needs fixing or changing just let me know Big ol' box Ooh Nice and efficiently packaged And here's the trimmed parts so far Helmet with ears fitted Ab section Back Butt Chest Kidney Left Bicep Left forearm Left shoulder bell Right shoulder bell 1 Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 SOOOOOOOO flipping jealous!! Nice work so far!! Did the parts in your first few shots come pre-trimmed or did you trim them out? Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Didn't come pre-trimmed. I trimmed them Have to say, this set of armour has been an absolute PLEASURE to work with so far! All the pieces just fit together so nicely and am absolutely loving building this. No frustration, no stress and it's all going by quickly too 2 Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I know, I know which is why I am soooooo jealous. Other armor makers could learn so much from this armor Quote
pattrooper Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Looking good fellow trooper. Quote
Dday[501st] Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 TM is a great set of armor to build. There is no doubt about that! Quote

troopermaster Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Good job so far! You should glue the drop box elastic straps in place to stop them moving 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Good job so far! You should glue the drop box elastic straps in place to stop them moving It's nice to see armorers stop by to check on their product builds. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Now if we could only get you to set up shop in the US. Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 You can also knock the corner off that rear thigh cover strip. You are gonna get a pokie poke in your detention block. 2 Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Cheers guys Submitted this build for clearance now with the UKG so here's some photos Still need to reduce the thickness of the leaf padding to bring the helmet down a bit. I'll also add the wee shoulder strap elastics if I go for EIB Front Right Arm Down Right Arm Up Back Left Arm Down Left Arm Up Action Shots Edited February 27, 2015 by Yeebeme Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks dude Just for a bit of fun, a wee side by side with my ANH Stunt Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Was cleared with the UKG yesterday afternoon Also have gone ahead and closed up that gap at the base of the left thigh and have sorted out the hand guards so they're secure at the front and don't lift. Overall pretty quick and smooth build, really glad I got a set of the TM armour. Will be trooping with it real soon and I'm sure it'll do me well for a long time Edited March 2, 2015 by Yeebeme Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 Cheers guys, was a great set of armour to build. Has been on a good number of troops since and has held up extremely well Having said that, I seem to have horrible luck... and then 2 days later... Quote
