synaptyx Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Well here goes! Some of these photos are from my clearance pics... I know about the low biceps, they're sorted in the third pic. Biceps fixt!: You can't make them out, but the straps are right at the top of the biceps. The biceps are shimmed but they're not going any higher than that. Seems I have big 'ceps for a trooper. Butt/kidney split and canvass belt with holster attachment: Sides: Biceps fixed after this was taken: Biceps fixed after this was taken: Thermal Detonator: Shortened SDS/AA standard - This will get metal clips when I get a working rivet gun - I believe it is clearable as per previous discussions on this board. Neckseal: Being replaced by one of Rivetings lovely leather ones soon: Bucket: SDS 'Battlespec' ANH stunt style/Painted teeth/four holes/Green lenses Blaster: D-Ring: Barrel end and front sight: Hengstler with TKID and M32A2 scope: Left: Right: Quote
SuperTrooper Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Great looking armor trooper. Looks like an easy pass. One minor tweak, see if you can get the thighs to sit higher, it'll improve the overall look, but has no bearing on your elite app. Quote
synaptyx Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks mate! I have tried to get those thighs higher, that's it for the moment. Maybe when I weigh a little less. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Looking good Aaron, well done mate Quote
binkx02 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 yes yes yes .sign this man up now. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Looking great. Should be an easy pass. Quote
Scott M.[TK] Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 I agree, but for the sake of clarity, can I get a better pic of the blasters mag side so we can see the t-track? I am sure it is there, but I want to make sure we can all see it. I also agree with Terrell that the left thigh should come up about 1/2" to 1" or so, but has no bearing on the app. Get me an updated blaster pic and we should be all set, Now to head off and figure out where to assign you to.............. <_< Quote
synaptyx Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 There you go, Scott! I will endeavour to ram that thigh up a bit! Quote
Scott M.[TK] Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 I will endeavour to ram that thigh up a bit! WHAT THE????? Oh, the thigh, I get it, sorry, I thought you said something else. Well done trooper. Very nice kit, and Elite status approved. Please report to to deck 5, near the hanger bays. A couple of troopers are walking some huge hairy "thing" around, and I am just not sure they can handle him. In case he gets loose, feel free to fire at will!!! Quote

TK1491 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 LOOKIN FINE!!!! :headphone: nice outfit. Quote
binkx02 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Anybody got a set of binders!? well done mate,thats 7 for the ukg and the 2nd for scotland. I have a set of fluffy cuffs if you need them Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Way to go Aaron! Actually the low biceps are fine, and you can see this detail on the Tantive raid. Congrats brother - the suit looks awesome and this pint is for you : 7 in the UKG? I do believe that's a garrison record Quote
synaptyx Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks guys! To think, I didn't even know about Elite status until early December '08. :lol: :peace: Massive thanks to Colin; he's the reason I'm here. I owe you, brother! :peace: I can't say I'm the first Elite in Scotland (that well deserved honour goes to my brother trooper, Colin), or even Fife (Colin is in Fife too, damnit! ), so I'll have to settle for first Elite in Kirkcaldy.

SuperTrooper Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Now I need an action shot for your profile. Pleas no hard lighting differences like in your first couple shots. Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 I LOVE the low biceps, that's how they're meant to be Quote
4505 Marcel Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 The left thigh seems to be an issue with SDS armour, mine was the same and had to be shimmed 20mm bigger than the right to get the to sit equal. My back kept riding off the top of the kidney plate aswell, dont know if these are also smaller than other brands of armour. I fixed mine by adding poppers to the inside of the lower back and top of kidney plate and then held the pieces together with 1" webbing to hold it together. I also did this to the abb and chest plate on mine Well done with your Elite staus mate, congrats Feels good dont it Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 I also think the suit looks better with low biceps, troopers always seem to like hiding them under their shoulder bells for some reason which doesnt have the right look to me. Quote
synaptyx Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks Marcel, I'm on top of the world! + For the higher biceps is they are far comfier and don't get caught on the lip of my shoulder bells. I agree with Pablo and Mark; looks wise, I prefer the lower biceps. Less black showing is good! I guess I could put a further popper plate inside the biceps, halfway between where they are now and the point that AA puts them, so that they're lower, but not catching on the shoulder bell lip (which helps with the slightly flared shoulder bell look, I really like). Terrell, I may have to get the kit on again to take some softer photos, the light was going when we took the clearance shots! Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Pardon me, it's a boring sunday afternoon Quote
synaptyx Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 AWESOME! I'm going to lower them slightly and see how I get on. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Congrats on making Elite Aaron. Glad to have you in the ranks. Quote
dougefresh Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Nice going, Aaron! Your armor looks great, and the blaster is outstanding! Well done! Quote
