Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Ok, round 2. Forget you ever saw those hideously lighted shots. The suit is an FX with an MRCE bucket. The ab buttons have been replaced with VaderDave's. I made the neckseal, belt and holster. The sides are closed off with ABS. The lenses in the bucket are thick flat greens gotten from Smitty. Boots are basic Johdpurs painted white, for that "screen accurate" look (meaning the paint keeps cracking!) I'm sure I'm forgetting something. The buttplate slipped on this one, but obviously it's cut! You can see the foam in my bicep slipped out here. It's still got the blinky lights and sound You can see the lenses are green here. They are quite dark, the light must have been turned up. Please, comments are welcome! Quote
bluehickey Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Looks great! The only thing that stood out to me is in the second photo down: can see a lot of skin on your wrist. Don't know if it's because the gloves aren't long enough, or maybe it just rode up in that shot. Well done! Quote

Don't know if it's because the gloves aren't long enough, or maybe it just rode up in that shot. Well done! Yeah, it was rolled up under the elastic for the handplate, and I couldn't tell with my bucket on.. My wife was taking the pics and doesn't really know what to look for. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Your build job looks top notch. We still need pictures of the blaster from all sides to make sure all the details are there, and a pic showing the cut butt/kidney plate. I also need a better lit picture for your profile shot too. Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 It's a bit hard to tell how many T-tracks you have on the E-11. Nonetheless, you're looking really good, Tom. I think it's safe to say Garrison Tyranus now has it's second EI TK. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 Looking good to me. We're going to have to push VaderDave for an update on that new coin run as you new EIB's come in Quote
Billhag Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 Tom Looking bloody good there Sir The only things that I can see are the shoulder straps sticking up at the front, your drop box strap details. and the additional T-Tracks on the blaster. Very nice work there mate (psssst!!.....you may want to stick the foam back in your bicep, don't worry I don't think anyone noticed ) Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks guys. The shoulder straps and drop boxes are secured with velcro, so they just need to be repositioned if they are off. Where do I put additional T-tracks on the blaster? Quote
Smitty Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 You need 2 strips of T track, One strip over the holes on each side of the barrel. Great looking FX build by the way. Excellent thigh taper! Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Posted May 14, 2009 Will I need to reshoot the pics for the straps and drop boxes, since they just velcro in place? The blaster t-tracks will be done by monday, hopefully. Quote

Mmm...I should use this on my wife : "Sorry hon, that last little adjustment means I need to suit up again." Quote

Mmm...I should use this on my wife : "Sorry hon, that last little adjustment means I need to suit up again." Not really. Believe it or not, my wife actually doesn't appreciate me rearranging the furniture and breaking out the suit and camera! (Especially several nights in a row...) Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Posted May 19, 2009 Ok guys, here are the updated pics. For submission I'm going to use my scratch-built E-11. It's got all the T-tracks, D-ring, scope, counter, stock, power cells, the works. Since I never heard back as to whether I need to re-shoot the armor pics with the shoulder straps and drop boxes repositioned (since they are just held in place with velcro), I'm going to go on the assumption that they're good. Let me know if I need to retake them. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 If it were me I'd reshoot the pix. They'll be used for your EIB profile photos, so why not have them be good? You can do just the thighs up if you want Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 Ok, it will probably be tomorrow before they are redone. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Tom that blaster turned out really well. You really have your suit dialed in. Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 OK, 3rd and hopefully last time... Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Posted May 22, 2009 Well? Did I finally pass muster? Is Terrell MIA? If not, the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend for photo shoot #4... Quote
SuperTrooper Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 I'm MIA on vacation. I'll do all the final reviews Monday when I get home. Quote
