Parquette[TK] Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Looking good Dynamic! Where do you get your snaps from? Would a place like Joans or Michaels have some? Quote

JAFO[TK] Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Great work on the thighs. Not everyone gets them shaped and high enough. Working on mine at the moment...very carefully! 1 Quote

Working on mine at the moment...very carefully! Thanks JAFO! Yes it's one of those eye deceiving issues I had to keep playing with..I marked a line with a pencil on the tops just so I can hopefully get a consistent position/ placement each time.

steamboatphan Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 Looks awesome brutha. I don't think I could've explained that belt assembly any better Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Dynamic1[501st] Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Posted December 17, 2016 Alright...30 minutes later and Ive got this beast on for some prelim pics. Only things left are to place the TD and apply the velcro on the biceps as they are a bit low. I also need to fittle with the lid a bit. Let me know if you guys see anything else ... Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 Looking good mate! The only thing I'd call out is the left knee plate. Should be a bit higher. Hardly a problem though Quote
Auel Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 I think the forearms are too long and thick. And the drastic difference of paint between the helmet and armor, I think I should repaint my helmet as well. Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Posted December 18, 2016 Alright guys...Many thanks to everyone for helping me get to this point! Here are some pics I took for 501st approval (although Fettseven took with his digital). I will send the camera uploads vs these which were taken from my iPhone... And of course, some festive pics for the finale! Quote
Auel Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 Looks like the shoulders will be an issue, I'll be doing this mod on my biceps to connect to the shoulders. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted December 18, 2016 Report Posted December 18, 2016 In my tutorial I use black shoestring elastic that goes under the armpit. Works very well without having to mod the bicep. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Posted December 18, 2016 Way ahead of you guys....already fixed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Parquette[TK] Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 What gloss coat did you use? I'm using Rustoleum 2x Ultra Cover Gloss White paint, but need a good gloss coat that both won't yellow on me, or dull. Quote
