ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Wear PPE (correct gloves) Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove heat or reduce to a simmer. Place object in water for 30-45 seconds. Remove, apply equal pressure by hand or using other object until desired shape is obtained. While maintaining shape place under cool water for 60 seconds Repeat as necessary. 1 Quote

kekike2002[TK] Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Posted March 24, 2019 Ok, soooo...... I feel I am at the point where it's as good as I can get it. I have tried to lower the cod, but I can't. Made lots of mistakes at the beginning. Need to clean up some areas and cut shoulder bells down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am so happy to have gotten this far.

shashachu[TK] Posted March 25, 2019 Report Posted March 25, 2019 Hey Pam! Looking great! You totally look like a stormtrooper! Thebiggest issue I can see is the back/kidney overlap, but it could also be that the back is sort of just sticking out a bit. How is the back strapped to the kidney? I wonder if you could tighten the strapping some to bring the back closer to your body. On my kit I did bend the shoulder tabs at the top of the back more so that it sat a bit higher and didn't overlap the kidney, so that's also an option. Looking back at @Cricket's comments it could be that the chest and back are both a bit on the larger side - I wonder if both could be brought up a bit. I also think that some of it is just your body proportions - you seem to have a relatively short torso and relatively long limbs. Ultimately approval is up to your GML, but I'm not seeing much here that would block basic approval. Great job with the build! 1 Quote
kekike2002[TK] Posted March 25, 2019 Author Report Posted March 25, 2019 I noticed the back too, and yes I can tighten that up.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote

kekike2002[TK] Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Posted April 13, 2019 Ok so...I'm paranoid, lol is this correct? Also I know that it's too long. Is there a specific number per side? I had 11 and 13 the first time.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote
TheSwede[TK] Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 It’s correct. The numbers can vary from 9-16 so no worries and this particular helmet (as looking at it) has 15 on the left and 16 on the right. 1 Quote
