Hey Andrew here you are again! Looking great! Are you going full time HWT now?

not that I am aware of...you have to keep title as is. If you find a way please let me know.

It's about time, LOL!!!!  Looking great, trooper!  Outstanding job on the armor weathering... not too much, not too little.  The only thing I would do is weather up that pack.  It looks a bit "new out of the box".  I suggest using the "dry brush" technique on the edges, and for the the flat surfaces:

 

1. Take a can of silver spray paint and a can of flat black spray paint (both enamel for durability).

2.  Spray about half a teaspoon of each into a wide plastic container, keeping them separated.

3.  Using a smooth rag, dab it into the silver, then the black.  Smear it onto a piece of cardboard to mix, then gently rub it on to the surfaces.  You can test out the look on the cardboard first.

4.  If it doesn't look exactly like you want, you can always hit the surface with the black and start over.

 

You can use the pure silver in the tray for dry brushing the edges, but I suggest doing the rag thing first.

Thanks all! And no not exactly "full time" hwt lol. Only when I can. It will help bring variety when we have an influx of ANH tks at troops down here as well. Thanks Joseph for the advice! I used a metallic silver to dry brush weathering on, but it may have been just too subtle. I recently(late last night) found my testors "flat aluminum" paint again after cleaning my craft room, so i will most definitely be adding onto it. I didn't want to over do it just yet, but I do agree that the pack could use some more, thanks for the weathering tips and all of your time and patience in aiding me with the build! Troopers helping troopers at its finest!

Forgot to add a couple of pictures...so here ya go!

 

 

Also, weathered pauldron. Took two different angles to show weathering because my camera would not capture it all as a whole

 

 

 

And my slightly weather TKBoots

[fuumantroop[TK]]

Thanks Tony! I am just as excited this time around as I was initially lol. Never settle! Never surrender!

[Sly11[Admin]]

Wheres the BIG GUN!!

 

Oh and Yes very hard to tell if there is light weathering on the pack, any chance of some close up photos of the weathered areas please.

[fuumantroop[TK]]

Backpack close ups as requested

Hey Andrew thank you for your HWT application and thank your for making the requested updates.

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All requested photos are present and your armor meets all the requirements set out for EIB. Sly and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you Expert Infantry! Great job   

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we'll discuss observations either made by your fellow troopers or just Sly and myself. Though the suggestions are to make you look your best, none will effect your EIB application. The only suggestion we have at the moment would be for you to weather your E-ll a bit, should look a little battle worn like the rest of the armor. Also, though it's not a requirement a BFG would look awfully nice with this HWT    

 

Excellent work trooper 

[fuumantroop[TK]]

Woohoo!! Thanks Sly and thanks Tony! I may be a victim of poor lighting on my e-11 lol. But i will most definitely be adding some more as suggested . As for the BFG, I have a troopable Dlt-19 made from the Hasbro clone build a blaster as a base, and am abot to endeavor on a scratch built T-21 or a RT-97C It is truly an honor to have this armor approved by you guys, I could not have done it without the help here on FISD. Thank you all for your hard work and continuous thread of modifications and sometimes shiney white plastic spacemen!

Congrats

[starsaber25[Admin]]

Hey Andrew, Congratulations, you look awesome!!
