Recommended Posts

Hi Urs!

 

Like mentioned in John thread I have to do some Business with my photo uploader:-) But I will start with your Review next week...a promise too!

 

But I also like to start with your Review right now...quick and dirty style.....

 

Your gear is on spot and your emulated trooper is immediately recognizable. But each new SWAT

candidate gets looked at even more so from the previous trooper and the bar gets raised even higher.

You are definitely on the right track though.

As stated before, we always stress patience during this process as we pay more and more attention

to fine tuning with each new SWAT applicant. The MEPD Senior Commanders and myself will give your

armor a full inspection and review. Some details may definitely be missed and re-checked, but we will try

to catch them on every pass given until you are cleared and ready to join the Special Weapons & Tactics Team,

brother!

With that said, let us begin.........

So let's start......

That was my second review Urs. I think you are on the right way and like Rolf said you built a good replica.

Thank you and Cheers,

Felix

Thank you Felix for all the detailed pics containing all the information I need to improve my armor, I guess that was quite a bit of work! ;)

I will start working and adjusting stuff on Friday when I get back from holidays. As far as the pauldron is concerned, I'd like to point out that the one picture you have chosen doesn't show the pauldron at its current state as I've toned down the coffee spot quite a lot since that pic was taken (you will also find the current pics of the pauldron in this thread)

Furthermore my head is quite strangely shaped :sweat: , which might be the reason why it looks like the helmet is sitting quite high. I will try to find a thinner foam to create the flower for the helmet padding but the one which is currently in use is already quite thin. 

So way to go!:salute:

Okay holidays were great, lots of hiking in the mountains and BBQ :) but now back to business!

I have improved/changed/adjusted everything pointed out in Felix´review, here we go....

I have cleaned my boots (something a TD should actually never be forced to do ;) )

In the first pic the one on the left has been cleaned, the right one is still dirty as .....

35965822454_e628e86eae_b.jpg

both of them clean:

36753248666_c5bc0e1982_b.jpg

I have reworked the coffeespot on my pauldron (again) and finally I´m quite happy with it:

36403600380_4837fe2122_b.jpg

I have taken the right ear off my bucket and reshaped it on the frontside to achieve a larger gap, furthermore I have added the missing weatheringspots and the paintruns on the back of the helmet:

35965931164_f538fc245c_b.jpg

In addition to adding the two spots on the snout, I have also tried to emulate the thin line above the right eye and the dirt between the eyes

36403702470_4ed02305df_b.jpg

the original helmet has large gaps where the ears are attached, so I took out my dremel...

36800834375_eb29e42e05_b.jpg

36661433521_2a48704b35_b.jpg

helmet without ear looked almost like the cleaned original on starwarshelmets.com

35991405563_0bed66945b_b.jpg

paintruns on back:

I have adjusted the weathering on the abdomen according to the references:

before:

35966125184_bd6833e32d_b.jpg

new

36753585866_05b2d3b352_b.jpg

btw I have also removed the padding from the lid so it sits lower and looks like the reference.

35966134184_b8baf43456_b.jpg

and the weathering on the inner right thigh is can also be seen in the above reference and some other screencaps, although it looks different in every shot, I don´t think that it just a shadow of the T-21. I have tried to adjust my initial try to make it look better:

my thigh

36801312495_5ea755c8b1_b.jpg

references/screencaps:

36661846781_769ab427e9_b.jpg

35966410094_9c082c2484_b.jpg

and finally me again posing:

35966112614_57ef446127_b.jpg

I have also added a little to the weathering of the right shoulderbell and the biceps, while studying the references I realised that the biceps is really twisted, so mine is twisted as well

before:

36661605501_4892341d29_b.jpg

after:

36801045135_e70ee0a22e_b.jpg

hope I have ticked all the right boxes and looking forward to reading my next review :)

Cheers mates!

While looking at my pics again, I realised that the weathering isn´t solid enough in some places on my right shoulder bell, especially when compared to the reference pics, so I added a little more. The same goes for the underside of the little square on the abdomen.

shoulder bell before:

36666024422_afd6b4df53_b.jpg

and after adding a little more:

reference

abdomen with stronger weathering on the underside of the little square:

You are being so meticulous with this build Urs, way to go :salute:

Especially considering some of the poor quality reference photo's.

One thing that seems to show on your full length photos is what looks like a slightly different colouring between your boots and the shins.

The boots seem much whiter, is that in line with the character? It could be the way the light is shining on them from the angle.
