My RS Propmasters ANH Stunt Tk

[Roukie 1[TK]]

Id like to get some opinions and feedback on my freshly built armor.

I'm around 87kg at1,73cm 

                 191 pound at  5'8''

Thanks in advance

Nice work looks like a clean build just a couple of fixes:

 

Try to make sure your thighs are at the same height and rotate to the front

Also gaps between shoulder bells and chest, right arm has a little more gap.

 

Your drop boxes do not align with the ends of your plastic belt

You may want to try tighter (or double over) strapping on kidney to abdomen (especially for higher levels, which I would recommend applying for  )

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the abdomen and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed. A split (bifurcated) or single cap rivet is present on the lower tab (cod area) of the abdomen armor. Rivet does not need to be functional. Rivet on must be brass or silver in color, approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter and is not painted.

OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top.

 

Also make sure the tops of the kidney and abdomen meet at the top

 

Level 3, Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box.

 

       

 

You could also bring the belt up but just a smidge (you could also leave it as is  )

The top of the ABS belt shall sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels.  A slight overlap is suggested, but not required. 

 

    

 

Also with the belt (L3 Centurion):

Belt Belt face is made of plastic (TK ammo belt). The soft belt proper is made of canvas, or material with a canvas covering. Size must be 2.75” (70 mm) to 3.25”(83 mm) wide and not wider than the plastic portion of the belt. The color is be white to off-white. The drop boxes dangle from the sides of the front plastic belt (ammo belt) via white straps and are aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt.

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There shall be three square buttons, one centered in the middle and one on each end of the plastic ammo belt..

OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes must have full inner drop boxes to close the back. Flat covers are not allowed. Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Canvas belt can not contain patches of any sort. Canvas belt must be firm / sturdy in appearance. No creasing or sagging 

 

 

Neck seal coming out at the back

Shoulder straps could come down a little at the back

Can't tell if you have the elastic over the rear shoulder straps

Detonator is sitting a little too high, also rotate the O details a little more to the back

Right rear shin, appears to be too overlapped, or the cover strip is not central

You may also want to take a little off the tops of your rear thighs as they will hit when walking (one is hitting just standing)

 

Also noticed your thigh cover strip is not central on the back rear right leg, you may want to try to adjust the thigh for photos (or remove coverstrip and glue on an angle, to match the left)

 

The top of the TD should should sit level (or slightly) higher than the top of the canvas belt. 

            

 

Level 3, they shall free float in the back, be glued in the front and need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric/elastic chest/back connection.  Ideally this strap should be 1/4 inch (5 mm) wide, and connect over the tab at the top of the back armor.  The bridge should also lay flush against the back.

 

          

 

You have a lot of shoulder strap showing on the back of the back plate, I'm wondering if you have enough on the front of the chest. On the front the shoulder strap has 1 large and 4 - 4 1/2 small tabs (generally not all armor will although this)

 

          

 

Can't quite make out all of your helmet details as the photos are a little low on resolution, but vocoder sides should match each other.

 

        

 

              

 

Also make sure the fronts of your tube stripes fall from the top forward

Ideally at Level 2 tube stripes are approximately 1 cm (5/16ths) away from the cheek, and should also lean toward the front.  The thickness may vary, but the number of stripes must be between 9 and 16.  These may be hand painted or decals for all levels, but should not extend under the ear.

 

                           

 

 

That may seem like a lot but most is for higher levels (which I hope you apply for) and for basic it's entirely up to your GML and their opinion, good luck, not that I think you will need it

As Glen rightly says, most of the adjustments are for higher levels. You should have no problem getting level 1(basic).

Hi Andreas. Glad to see you finally went for the classic ANH stunt armor.
Looks good so far. Basic approval should be easy. 

[Roukie 1[TK]]

Thank you guys, for your input. I'll go and make those adjustments asap.

Honestly,  I don't know,  if I'll be going for higher levels, yet. But if I do, it'll be great to get some tips and tricks from you.

[Roukie 1[TK]]

 

some tweaks done.

 

 

I know, the belt isnt closed the right way and therefor the terminator sits too high. I' ve seen it too late.

Nice work 

 

Very hard to see everything when you are the one in the costume. As a GML I would have no issues with your submission.

 

Good luck with approval

[Chemi[Staff]]

Congratulations Andreas!

 

As a GML of the Spanish Garrison, I can't find anything that would block your approval.

 

Good luck !!!

[Roukie 1[TK]]

I proudly can announce 

 

It's approved.
