justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 9, 2017 Report Posted August 9, 2017 WOW, Jim!!! Outstanding job on that HWT my friend. I'm glad to see that you didn't go overboard on the armor weathering.. (sometimes less is more)! This should be an easy pass, and then onto HWT Centurion. (A small club indeed). The only tiny thing I could recommend is to hit that awesome pack with some weathering as well. I did this by using some silver spray paint and a 2 inch wide dollar store paint brush (disposable). I sprayed a bit at a time onto a paper plate, dipped the very tips of the bristles in, and used a "dry brush" technique to highlight it on the corners. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 9, 2017 Report Posted August 9, 2017 Hey Jim looking good brother. Andrew or myself will be with you shortly. I agree with Joseph the pack could use a bit more weathering, frankly the pauldron and blaster could stand some also. Anyways throw more dirt on it and post a couple more photos and we'll get added the the elite force, HWT . Quote
Engineering trooper[TK] Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Posted August 9, 2017 Thanks everyone appreciate it! Will try to get the pieces/parts a bit more on the dingy side Quote
Engineering trooper[TK] Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Posted August 10, 2017 Ok so weathered up (down?) my pauldron, T21 and backpack, pictures attached. Tony, do you need a set of shots of me fully kitted, or will the individual pieces/parts do to cover the weathering update? See attached. Thanks! Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry for the delay, you're good Jim We'll be with you shortly Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 Hey Jim good to see another HWT shooting for the higher ranks. Thank you for your HWT EIB application. Let's take a look shall we. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: Beautiful job on your armor and backpack build, and that T-21 is a beauty. That being said, all the required submission photos have been posted. Andrew and myself are pleased to announce you armor displays all the necessary components to qualify you for Expert Infantry. Congratulations Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: As you know as we get to the higher levels of accuracy we look a little deeper. In this section we'll review observations made by either your fellow troopers or Andrew and myself. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. We have a few minor areas we'd like to mention, starting with the helmet, great job on the build BTW. As you know the HWT is a Battlefront character and even though we don't have the clearest of screen shots the CRL is based off the ANH Stunt armor. With this armor the Hovi tip interiors are white. We're recommending you paint these. Reference photo Moving down, though not a huge deal the vertical Ab button plate appears to hang over the raised area and should be inside it. A little trimming should bring it into spec. Reference photo Centurion Suggestions: And in this section we prepare you for Centurion. The only areas of concern here are the helmet decals which the Centurion CRL states: For level three certification (if applicable): Tears/traps are hand painted or use decals that emulate hand painted (with correct ANH TK details). That being said since they're peeling off there's no better time than the present to replace them with ones more accurate. Reference photos And finally keep in mind at Centurion there's to be little to no gap between the Ab and Kidney. That's it. Again, very nice work on your build and hope to see you at Centurion. Quote
Engineering trooper[TK] Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks to everyone! Will get on the updates as soon as Fan Expo is over, less than 2 weeks to prep, lots to do! Quote
