BBB has arrived with my shadow trooper

[daz0128[TX]]

thanks Jim. hoping to finish by sunday for submission photos. Not to much more just waiting of glue to dry to work on it some more. Ill keep posting pics

[daz0128[TX]]

So i got a little work done today. Not as much as i was hoping but an emergency came up.

 

Canvas Belt is complete: We had to add velcro to the belt because im on the skinny side.

 

 

Butt Plate/ Kindney Plate is fully attached: Used 3" wide and 1" Elastic. " Dont mind the tape marks on armor." kit will be polished when finished. It got to be late to attach the 3 split rivets to the kidney plate to attach to ab plate.

 

 

 

 

Hand Gaurds: Rubber and Abs guards

 

 

 

 

 

[daz0128[TX]]

ok so we didnt get far as we planned to bc of family member was rushed to hospital. Besides that here is what ive got done.

 

so after we got everything attached on ab plate, belt , and everything we noticed that the ends of the butt plate wouldnt stay in place where the straps were. "pic below" we barely have any gaps.

 

 

with me going/ trying for specialists we did this and it worked well. It keeps it all in place " pics below" first pic is we attached and hot glued a 1" elastic strip .

 

 

will this hurt for specialist ???

 

 

 

 

Here we were fitting the chest plate

Looks pretty good so far. The Specialist app will come down to how things look all together. So far I don't see any issues with your build or setup. Keep it up!

[daz0128[TX]]

thats good to hear. really appeciate the quick responses from you.

[daz0128[TX]]

So we are geting ready to do the thighs. I know with the Tk build on the LEFT thigh cover strip does not go down to the bottom like in the pic.

 

 

Is it the same for shadow trooper ?

 

Here is a few pics of my thighs. Mine is not raised like the tk.

 

Top looking down to knee.

 

 

Looking from knee up to hip

 

 

looking directly at bottom of the knee where strip would lay. showing how its not really raised

 

 

Should i lay cover strip like this #1 I dont think this is correct but making sure before i glue and move on.

 

 

#2 lay of strip. I know its higher than what it should but i was just only making a reference so you can tell. I think this is correct for specialist??? strip should go to the tape line you see in pic up or down a little....

 

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Honestly, either way would be correct. In the white TK image, the thigh armor has a raised bit at the bottom, so the cover strip does not go all the way down. With your leg armor, it's not there so technically the cover strip should go to the bottom. But, it would look fine either way.

Looking pretty good and should be an easy approval. I'd paint the TD clips black, though.

[daz0128[TX]]

clips were painted black after i submitted photos. i like it better that its black. also painted the holster screws black as well. im still waiting to hear if approved. my first kill with be a weird al event if approved.

[Allan1313[MBO-CMD]]

Good luck! It looks pretty good to me.

[daz0128[TX]]

Ok so im taking my specialist pics today. hopefully submitted by weekend. have 2 troops this weeknd

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Nice!

[daz0128[TX]]

My legion profile doesnt say i have my tx approved yet. Should i wait to submit my photos or just submit?? I have approval for this. Pics are on Garrison forums saying it was approved.. just asking before i do anything. dont want to step out of line

[daz0128[TX]]

Also is there a forum to sign up for full access on this detachment? I cant start a new thread for my kill count for the dragon symbol.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

There is, but I took care of your profile anyway. You should be all set now.
