This is not an PO requirement but if you see tha chance to bring them down it would be great (and you will raise up the comfort). Please, just lift up your ammo belt a little bit. Are the pouches already weathered? They look very clean on the separate picture;) And Gordon is right: pleas stuff your shoulder pouch a Little bit (e.g. with wood blocks) RESULT ON ARMOR PENDING Backpack a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* RESULT ON BACKPACK CHECKED & CLEARED Weapon a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* RESULT ON WEAPON CHECKED & CLEARED Ok Ben, just some additional pictures of your bucket and some minor changes of you armor and we will be fine:-) Many thanks dude and Cheers to Carolina, Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjabenben Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thank you for the feedback! And oops yeah I posted a picture of the pouches pre-weathering, I'll get you the additional pics. One question on the thighs, I'm... *shudders* a "little short to be a storm trooper", at 5'6" so I can't really lower them without them getting in the way of my knees, so I'm assuming the best thing to do would be trim off the top?

Airborne Trooper Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm 5'5" so I know the feeling. Trim a little at a time. Try to match screen references. When you trim, leave an additional 1/8" or so if you want to recreate the return edge. I'm surprised you can even walk with how tall they are now.

Felice Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi Ben, thank you for posting the additional pictures! Sorry to ask again: is it possible to post two clear pictures of the hand painted tube stripes? Thanks again! Is it possible to bring up the Abdomen section a little bit? While you make your belt a little bit higher, you can try it;-) Thank you and have a great day! Cheers, Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjabenben Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Will these pics of the stripes do? I redid the straps behind the chest piece to allow the abdomen to be pulled up (which it definitely needed, thanks) I think this shows enough of the thighs without me trimming because I know the Cantina Captain's thigh come up pretty close to the cod piece. Hard to tell with his legs moving so I split the difference between his forward and rear leg. Also I can raise the belt up, but as I'm aiming for the Cantina Captain, he wears his belt a little lower I believe. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
