kevonos Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hello everyone! I've had the kit since May, it's my first kit so progress was slow but I got the screen used paint and took the time this past weekend to paint everything up! [quick note, the helmet is missing the blast shield because they are assembled separately, See last photo for image of helmet with blast shield.] Once the base Coat was done, it was time for my favorite part of prop making, and the main reason I went for the shore trooper grunt, Weathering! Lastly, a quick comparison between my helmet and screen used, and the Anovos replica 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8271 Rogue Trooper Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi Adrian Welcome to the boards and great costume choice. I cant see all off your armouer yet but what I have seen I advise the following There should not be a overlap between front and back armouer joint. The joint should be hidden as part of the front or back over lap. As you can see here the center joint is one part From what I see on all your cover strips , you have not added the step at the end, yours are all flush They should be like this These are fixes you can easily rectify If you post up all pictures of your armouer I can look and advise and help you with building the best armour you can. Thanks Stefan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevonos Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I forgot about the steps at the ends, I focused on the side ones, thanks for pointing it out, i'll fix it asap. The underarm is like that because I had to add a ton of shims to get the kit to fit around me. right now it's two shims that meet in the middle since I extended each end. I'll go back and add one single shim, would that be okay? Thank you so much for the pictures with notes, that really helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One single shim all the way across the under arm bridge will be much better . If you have more pictures off all your armouer post them up and I will advise if anything’s needs done, like your shins front back and sides, back armouer etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
