When i get my new one, i will give you first dibs on this one if you want. OOOOh yea its a hyperfirm too, so when you go troopin, you dont have to worry about someone breakin it. :verymad: Mooahahaha

 

First dibs , that would be very nice thankyou

My gml is saying that the chest plate has to come down and be attached to the third ab plate with elastic. I think its just the pose because when i put my arm down, the chest plate goes back to where it should be. I see this same thing in a lot of builds. Let me know what yall think. My submission pics are on page 5.

The elastic is not required in and of itself; however, it can help with the fitting. Looking at all of your submission pics, I think you would benefit from having the chest attached to the abdomen with elastic. I recommend doing so in three points. I have TK-based suits with elastic and without, and the ones where I employ the elastic between the chest and ab definitely fit better and troop easier. In other words, I think it looks like you need it in all of your poses.

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

So what the gml is saying is what your sayin also ? Ok, i will try it and post later. Thanx brotha

[toddo[TX]]

you got it Al. My chest used to pop up without my knowing it at troops, especially with my TD pack on. The elastic has eliminated that from happening. I build that into all of my suits now. I think you'll like it, you'll look great, and your GML should be happy.

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

Ok kiddies, tried the elastic straps and heres what it looks like now....no more fly-away chest plate. Sent the pics to my gml also......fingers crossed.

 

 

 

 

Yea, the back plate came up by accident when i raised my arm, but a simple fix. What a difference with those straps. Thanx again Todd,

[DarthDyer76[501st]]

Looking great!

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

Thanx Doug, got the news from the gml and now gotta strap down the back plate and should be finished. Stay tooooned!!!

[Tekket[501st]]

Your gonna be there real soon mate

[mr0072003[501st]]

WOW.... These look great.... Yes the elastic is not required, but in your case it is to keep the chest and back plates from doing exactly what is shown in your Pic. I have been MIA for a month or so, and now to come back and see how far you come, its great. You will be in, in no time. Keep it up buddy!

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

Thanx Steve, Thanx Pete, you know, i took the armor off, and found that my shoulder straps were too close together when i was re-arranging it and never put them back ? :wallbash: Sooo, i made an adjustment and it sits perfect even without the strapping, but its there anyway. lol, I will re-post my submission pics monday night to my gml.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Best of luck Al...you should do just fine.

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

Thanx Jim, will be here soooon. :D

[Graysheel[TX]]

Hey buddy, couple of questions for you....but first.....your build look awesome! Where do you recommend getting your accessories....boots, black canvas belt, neck seal, gloves. I live in south Florida where it can be super hot! Thanks for any help. Jeff / (GRASYHEEL) . Jediberserker73

[THE TROOPER[501st]]

Pmd you Jeff. Thanx bud.

Ok gang, back from vacation. It was great in Florida. As promised, here are a few pics at the star wars section...

 

 

 

 

 

I felt bad for this guy, his right shin kept twisting, almost completely around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will post my new submission pics on friday gang.

[DizzyStormtrooper[501st]]

interesting they use the straps on the outside of the boots yet it still spins around. who makes their armor anyway?

[Master Tej]

Dude, I love Star Tours! Everything about it is great! What did you get on your adventure? Han or Vader? Tatooine, Hoth, or Kashyyyk? Leia, Ackbar, or Yoda? Geonosis, Naboo, or Coruscant?

 

Anyways, I'm glad you had a good vacation, and I look forwards to seeing the new submission pics!
