Bärenjäger Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Phil, I’ve read your whole build thread. Props to you for your persistence. I hope your family is managing well. I’ll be following for updates. Having last finished a Boba Fett, I can understand just how frustrating the minute details are. Measurements, colors, textures, stitching, etc. 😖 Intriguing but frustrating nevertheless. All I’ll say is that trooping has been worth it, tenfold. And the detachments and local members have been indispensable in helping me get there— even if they might identify the occasional headache whilst building. That said, keep at it! Best wishes to you on your build. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philscratch Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi all, just uploading a few shots of parts completed, Biceps are done, I do have the up to date accurate greeblie but if the greeblie I already have on there passes clearance then I'm happy saves me removing the old one and possibly damaging the bicep armour.

Philscratch Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Shoulders are done also, im going to do a full kit up some time next week so will finish cable ties fixing when I can get the inch gap between the shoulder bridge and shoulder bell topSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philscratch Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Chest and back armour completed, followed Choppers advice regarding shoulder bridges and tank stability, hence the 2 small slits in the back armour, Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Nice Phil! You have been busy. I’m looking forward to seeing photos of your first fitting. You’re gonna be stoked when you see yourself in full regalia. Can’t wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanzx10r Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Glad to see you back at it! Looking good. I still need to finish up my final adjustments and what not also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philscratch Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Tank decals applied and fitted, shot of inside of back armour so you can see how I attached velcro tabs for stability, im aware that the elastic and rivets are incorrect, unfortunately these were fitted before 'rivetgate' so I understand that i won't pass for Lancer until I buy another tank and topper.

Philscratch Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Boots have been done a while and were soul destroying especially after having to remove the holster, fix the vinyl (as best I could) then reapply and be told rivets were wrong size, so top rivets are incorrect for Lancer but bottom two are correct, 2 out of 4 isn't bad right? Also note on the inside of boot holster I have attached elastic to secure round the leg and avoid boot droop, ive also glued a rare earth magnet to secure the pistol to the holster.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philscratch Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 So I finished the knees this morning, Velcro finally sewn on and finished, have taken pictures of measurements of elastic as well, As you will be aware the rivets were put in before the CRL changed to have 1/8th requirement so won't pass for Lancer but hopefully will for BasicSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philscratch Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ok test fitting with little help from my son who has autism and isn't a star wars fan, he didn't know which bits went where bless him, shoulders still weren't fully attached will be sorting that tonight, im still not happy with it though as think lots need doing to finish it, cod feels too wide and short as its pulling under the crotchSent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The cod does look to big. Ideally it should just lay on the front of your body and only the strap should go between your legs. Bring the shoulders up, rotate the biceps so that the t-bt is to the side and then the armor pieces will look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
