TK69581[TK] Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 So I have had my armor for several months now and I believe I am getting close to getting it finished. Can y'all critique what I have done so far? Yes I know, no sniper knee plate, broke it, fixed it, just have not attached it yet. No thermal detonator yet, and the belt does not have snaps to attach it to the ab plate yet. One big question we have is; "Is the chest plate to small?" Thanks! Quote

devilmaan[TK] Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 The shoulder bells could be rotated a little further towards the chest plate. Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Can I ask why such the huge cover strips on the back of the thighs? You are missing an ab button Quote
TK69581[TK] Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 The shoulder bells could be rotated a little further towards the chest plate. If I rotate the bells they won't line up with the bi-ceps then Quote
TK69581[TK] Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 Can I ask why such the huge cover strips on the back of the thighs? You are missing an ab button The reason for the big strips is due to the size of my thighs. Between running, swimming and biking they are rather large lol! And I totally forgot about the button.....oops! Quote
PiettLives[TK] Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Your biceps could come up some and I agree the bells need to be rolled forward just a bit. Also, I'd get a little better bend in the shoulder straps so they lay on your back plate better. Your forearms are also rolled back too far. looking good overall though. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Hey man... overall looks pretty good. Are you using snaps on the outside of your belt for your hero holster attachment? They should be rivets or chicago screws maybe. Yours also look a little far apart. Do they line up with your holster straps? If you want a removable holster (like I have) I suggest riveting a snap to the belt a la Billy Haggis: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/4553-holster-attachment/?p=62524 Nice progress trooper. -Eric Quote
Tusken RTT Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Looking good! I agree to tweek the bells forward a bit also. You can always move a snap plate or strap once you get them where like them. 1 Quote

I can change the snaps but it would kind of be a pain in the a$$. Do most people use rivets or screws? I'll move the bells today. Thanks for all the input guys! Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 You can see how the hero holster is attached on Luke's belt. The originals used rivets. Most people now use Chicago screws. Personally, I would replace yours with Chicago screws as they blend in a lot better and look more like the originals than snaps. Quote
