CableGuy Builds...ANH Stunt

[CableGuy[TK]]

Hey there, Troopers.

So, the thighs are now sized up and the shins are nearly complete. I was able to follow the original sizes for the thighs and, as below, took inspiration from the shape and form of an original set of armour.






The shins are around 15mm wider circumference around ankle compared with the original RS measurements. I believe this is due to the size of my boots at the top - a little wider than originals, by the seems of it.




Original bra hook and elastics method - currently gluing in place.




More to come. :-)

Hi there, Troopers.

More work over the last few days, and we now have a sniper knee attached.

I used a combination of clamps and magnets to hold this in place and, thankfully, combined with the Gorilla Glue Clear, this held really well.

I spent quite a bit of time checking reference images. As I’ve posted about before, the sides should be cut straight up and down, not overly curved.





Reference images;






The thigh ammo pack is also ready for affixing.

Hey there troopers,

 

More progress, and another huge nod to the finer details of the wonderful suits we know and love.

 

Shoulder bridges trimmed nice and straight at the front edge, cut beyond the mould line (similar to Han’s, shown below).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve also now got the belt attached. Just need to add the drop boxes and holster.

Hi there, folks.

Well, this kit is now finished and my clearance photos are in.

Here’s a couple of the latter bits of progress, then some finished shots of the armour. :-)


Belt inspired by the RS belt, down to the cutting of the drop box elastics and the white gaffers tape on the rear.






Holster attached. Gap from the edge of the plastic ammo belt to the first fixing is around 40mm.

Beautiful work Dan.

Hey troopers,

Just an update on this thread - this suit is now CLEARED for 501st trooping. :-)

May as well go for EIB and Centurion with this one, too. :-)

Are you serious? 

 

I expected nothing less from you.

 

Congrats on basic approval - again...
