Strider Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I guess you mean the cap?! Really nice one. I like the colour. But the gloves are ......where did you find them Really? I thought he meant the T-Shirt í ½í¸œ But seriously, nice catch bro. Those are really interesting because they deviate in a lot of smaller details from the screen-used ones. I wonder if they were a re-run of the originals. But hey, very cool nevertheless!

It was the cap, but nice try! I didn't know that they were any different! What do you notice as being different? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1
Strider Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Well, I don't want you to feel bad about the purchase because they're still pretty close and look great. The main differences I spotted were - the shape of the thumb leather. Also it's missing the stitched 'V' on the thumb - the 4 ribs are a bit further apart from each other than on the originals - the fabric inside is black instead of red IMO they're definitively legit just differ in a few details.

Gotcha. I didn't know the originals had the red liner! These do have the stitched v...I'll take some detail pics later! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Strider Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 That'll be great. Maybe it just looked different from the photography angle.
haribon72 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 You're very lucky that those didn't fit my bear paws! Congrats again!
ShaunPug Posted March 25, 2017 Author Posted March 25, 2017 Here are some CUs of the gloves... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1
ShaunPug Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Had a build day with my ART today and took a few pics of my progress thus far. None of my strapping on my arm armor is glued yet, so a few of the straps are all jacked up in the pics, as are the position of the biceps and shoulders...but it's feeling good! TD is missing as well, still working on that. Not too far to go now. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Strider Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Wow, absolutely stunning! This is one hell of a build, buddy!
ShaunPug Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 Wow, absolutely stunning! This is one hell of a build, buddy! Thanks! I couldn't help putting everything on with the new helmet. It does wonders for the overall look Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Retrofire Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 That looks great Shaun! You did a really outstanding job on that armor and I love how it looks. I can't wait for my parts to arrive from Constantin he does great work! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
ShaunPug Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Got my new TD parts and bicep greeblies today (thanks Constantin!). Will have finished pics in the morning! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 2
Retrofire Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for posting that pic Shaun! I was starting to get worried that my TD tube was too long but it looks about the same as yours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
ShaunPug Posted April 6, 2017 Author Posted April 6, 2017 Here is the finished TD... Just submitted for Lancer as well! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1
Greedo Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 That's absolutely unbelievably beautiful! Can I ask you how you chose to attach the drop-box straps on the front of the belt? Is there even a consensus on what's accurate in that regard?

Is there even a consensus on what's accurate in that regard? I assume the originals were just one long piece of fabric wrapped all the way around and attached at the back. Mine are just very simply glued on the inside. Hope that makes sense. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

ShaunPug Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Well, now that I've been approved for Lancer I should call it quits right? Wrong! I've got a round of tweaks being made already. I'll post them as I go. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

ShaunPug Posted April 22, 2017 Author Posted April 22, 2017 Re-did my zip ties... This way is more "prop accurate" though it's still debated whether the zip ties are looped or not. You can clearly see that the Scout on the speeder bike next to Luke has his looped, but others are not. This holds amazingly well. The bridge fabric is elastic and is glued over the bridge seams, but they don't loop around all the way. The anchor is hot glued on top of where the elastic ends.

ShaunPug Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Also added another light layer of weathering on the chest and belt. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 1
