CRISTONAMO Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Hello everyone, I my name is Cristian aka TK 31501 of the dewback ridge garrison, and i'm ready to make my second armor! I got an SC armor kit for Christmas and i'll be using my CB helmet that I already own. No soft parts have been ordered, but I have cucblack in mind and need to contact him asap. lets hope I haven't made any mistakes yet... Is this glued in the right spot on the hump? Shoulder bells trimmed, all the parts are not sanded yet does anyone have a way to install these besides snaps? My snaps arent long enough to go through the fabric all the way More updates to come stay tuned! 2
CRISTONAMO Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Belt has finished glueing! I am using my trusty e6000 which I used on my stormtrooper.
Chex Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Looking good. I glued my straps in place. Take a took at PandaTrooper's thread for some helpful tips on building it up. 1
CRISTONAMO Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Looking good. I glued my straps in place. Take a took at PandaTrooper's thread for some helpful tips on building it up. Thats what I was looking to do, looks like the best approach next to snaps, and I am!! Nice pointers there I wish i was as good at return edges as he is...
cucblack Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 does anyone have a way to install these besides snaps? My snaps arent long enough to go through the fabric all the way More updates to come stay tuned! This was my way to do it whit my old armor. Really easy. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1637434218584&set=a.1564243108852.74580.1318603367&type=3&theater Congratulations for your new project!
Chunk Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Too late now. But you should of just ran the belt all the way through the plastic belt. This way you wouldn't have to worry about how to securing the web belt to the plastic belt. But once you secure the ends to the middle of the inside of your belt. just weave the web belt through the clips & though the drop boxes & secure on the back of the 2" web belt. This way you can adjust the clips & boxes as needed. By weaving it though everything it will give the look of being fuctional, but you can adjust everything once its on you.
Gato Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Looking good. That's a nice looking helmet too.
CRISTONAMO Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks again guys, I finished the belt and im very satisfied with the length of the boxes and fit, thermal detonator is lopsided but what do you guys think?
Chex Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Not bad. Will look better once you put it on with the soft parts. Good length on the drop boxes as well.
4505Marcel Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Getting there, I would flip over your rectangle TD greblie just to keep it in line with the masses here 1
Donovan Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Welcome aboard man! And if you reusing the SC TD clips I would just trash them. You can get some really good metal clips at tandy leather. But looking good so far
CRISTONAMO Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks again guys, I'll consider flipping the greeblie its just how it was on panda troopers build thread I was following. I oredered Wampawear gloves in size small, as my hand measures 7 3/4" Im pretty sure small gloves will fit fine because I have always used any glove in size small and they always fit. Do you guys think I got the right size? Also the biceps and forearms done.
CRISTONAMO Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 I got ALOT done over the past week. The gloves came in and fit perfect, I made my boots myself and installed the holster ( I originally installed it upside down so had to fix that) And my mother who has the sewing skills is helping me with the cummerbund. Heres pics of everything! All I need is to finish the cummerbund and get a jump suit! The crotch is just a mock up for now, how does the shape look? The boots are not as hard as I thought, actually fun to make and they look great! Chest is done, just added straps to the shoulder bells after this pic Decals applied as carefully as possible. Cummerbund fit, I like it alot! Everything on the legs fit well, I also added the lancer knee strap too full test fit, ignore the makeshift animation studio Any suggestions again welcome!
CRISTONAMO Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Cummerbund finished, all except the pouches and flight suit remain... 1
khazara Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Looking good! I'm in the process of making mine and these progress pics are a great help. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
uscstaylor Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Looking really good my friend but the only thing I can see is your neck is exposed, may need to add a flap to cover it up. Good Job so far!
CRISTONAMO Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 Looking really good my friend but the only thing I can see is your neck is exposed, may need to add a flap to cover it up. Good Job so far! Ah yes! I almost forgot I gotta sew on a flap and I'm also considering using my TK neckseal. The under suit has the 2" elastic and suede riding patch and butt flap sewed on already, so looks like that's the very last on the to do list!
BikerScout007 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 That's a good looking scout. Add the extra knee rivets, fix the neck, cut the boot soles, add the TD clips and go for Lancer!
CRISTONAMO Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks! The knee rivets are already added in with the correct size elastic all my elastic is lancer spec. I now added a balaclava to cover my neck, I still will add a sewn strap later. I also revamped the look of my scout, scoring a Don Post Scout trooper helmet, modified it and use it in place of my large CB bucket, I think it looks great! I also got a MonCal Chest plate! So much more accurate then SC Chest piece. Here's a great comparison of my armor vs an original ROTJ armor. Hope you guys like it! 1
BikerScout007 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Flip that greeblie over on your TD if you want it to be Lancer spec.
spookymufu Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 that helmet looks really wonky to me,,,,,,,,,,,that visor looks too squared off and the paint on the snout looks really messy in the pics, is it that messy or is it just the way the pics are?
