toddo[TX] Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's a cool mix of custom details. I look forward to seeing it completed and hanging on your back. Link to comment

It´s the "old" armor with a new backpack..... like toddo wrote: It's a cool mix of custom details. I look forward to seeing it completed and hanging on your back. i hope you´ll like it and it will be everything OK for approval. if i get the OK from you, i´ll send the pics to my GMO´s. Thanks and greetings Philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Looks like a nova to me The pack looks much better and sits correctly on your frame now. The pouch is positioned correctly as well, so I think you are ready to talk to your GML. Nice work. Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 @toddo: many many thanks for your words. i´m happy you like it !!! the pics are on the way for approval. i hope to get the Nova approved now, to present our detachment with a costume that looks like it should !!! again many thanks to you all for all the time and patience to help me. "black & white meeting" at a TFA-Event..... greetings philip 1 Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 sory, two times written the same Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 five weeks ago i sent the pics to my GMO.... till today there´s no answer about i´m a approved NOVA or not ..... only three things were wrong i´ve been sending the pics the last time......and they are fixed now. did the other NOVAs took also so long to get approved? greetings philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's unusual. Ping your GML again. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Ya, the fact that it is a nova shouldnt really make it take longer. I would do what Toddo suggested and send a message to your gml. Sometimes they get backed up and the process is slower, but 5 weeks is a long time. Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 i asked my GMO about 4 weeks ago if he received the new pics and he told me "one after the other". i guess i have to wait till the newbies are appoved and then will be looked for old ones....... i have to say that the GMO´s changed the last month and the GMO who first looked on my Nova isn´t GMO any more. Now there´s a new one...... thanks for all your suggestions and our words. greetings philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I was a GML for several years, and was able to give feedback within 24 hours much of the time. It never took more than a week to get an answer to a member or perspective member. On the other hand, I have dealt with GMLs who take two weeks to answer an email. Politely ping the GML, after all, that is their job. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I hope what the gml is saying is he is taking them in order. I can tell you it took two months for my first approval, but gor various easons the person wasnt able to keep up and soon left the role. I wouldnt expext you to be waiting more than a few weeks.

trooper71[501st] Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 thanks for the words friends !!! i decided to wait two more weeks and then i´ll write again to the GMO´s. Not to make them angry and ´cause of this waiting more longer...... (the guy i wrote to and me are not really that kind of "friends" since we got a little quarrel at an event ) greetings philip Link to comment

Better meet-up for some bratwurst or something to iron that out Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 got a Feedback from my GMO about my NOVA.... he wants to get new pics, ´cause on the pics he got (the same ones i posted here) he cannot see anything he told me !!! Toddo, how did you see all ? *smile* he also wants some pics of the belt and the helmet. let´s see how this will end .... greetings philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Some times it's like that. Some GMLs try to help people to get approved costumes, and some see it as a test to be passed. If you are dealing with the latter, just remember that you are worthy. 1 Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 the best help i got was here on the detachment !!! you all wrote really great words and answers how to get there where i´m now !! THANKS TO YOU ALL !!! i´ll make the pics and send them. i have nothing to hide about my NOVA ..... greetings Philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You worked hard on your Nova even going back to the drawing board when needed. You should be proud of it, and I'm sure you will be able to achieve approval soon. Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 dear friends, today i got mail...... my NOVA won´t get approved !!! this is what is wrong: -ammo-pouches on the shoulder and on the belt are "far away from the CRL"- they are "selfmade" -thights to big -biceps to big -tights fixed with rivets -gloves are wrong -ammo-belt on the right thight fixed in the middle not in the upper corners -shoulder bells to big -the covering of the biceps by the shoulderbells is not enough -mic tips on the helmet are no hovimicstips... -tube stripes are the wrong way (yes, that's right i guess *smile*) and : the whole armor is pulled to soft... the whole pic of the armor is wrong.... so, what to say..... GOOD BY APPROVED NOVA !!! all the work with cutting and painting again, especially the gold... there can´t be a new gold on some parts, i have to do ALL with new gold then. even if i do all the changes, the armor is still pulled "Softly" so why doing all these. i guess i had to buy a new armor for this. thanks for all your words and help, but..... greetings philip Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Some of those items are true such as the thighs being too large, but many of these things are nit-picky for basic approval. I'm sorry to hear about this and wonder if your differences with the GML might be coloring the perception. Link to comment
trooper71[501st] Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 dear friends, what´s an Elite-Trooper known for? Right... NEVER GIVE UP !!! So i started to do the necessary changes.... stay tuned !!! greetings philip 1 Link to comment
