Elder Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Update: Straping system. Adjustable "suspenders" are attached to the AB and Kidney plate (crossed at the back). The elastic (canvas not yet attached) between Chest and Back plate (snap/snap) will be attached to the suspenders using velcro (currently taped). At the bottom the elastics holding the thighs are visable (snap at the AB, velcro at the thigh). Straping system (unfolded). Elastic between Kidney and Back plate (snap/velcro). Non elastic between Kidney and Butt plate (snap/snap). Elastic between AB and Kidney (snap/snap). Right side closes with velcro, left side is closed with 3 non elastics (snap/snap). Shoulder bells and biceps. Nylon ribbon connecting the two bells behind my neck (attached with snaps at both ends). Bicep is attached to the bell with an elastic ribbon (snap in the bell and velcro for easy adjustement in the bicep) The completed helmet (still working on the inside)! All handpainted except the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headcount Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Looks fantastic, Henrik! Truly top notch work. Looking forward to seeing this kit completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elder Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 As someone mentioned, I have a "sleepy look" on the eyes. Its all by "design" but is it too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volumino Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 As someone mentioned, I have a "sleepy look" on the eyes. Its all by "design" but is it too much? Yeah, thas because you've left pretty much plastic on the upper side of the eyes. But I think you should leave it, not every helmet should look the same, I would just trim one of the eyes a bit to give it an even more asymmetrical look. The Movie helmets weren't cut perfectly, too. I also did it with my TM bucket and I think that it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the suit Thnx Rolf, Coming from someone as experienced as you, it makes me very happy. Its been fun building and Ive learnt alot (what to do and what NOT to do on the next suit).

iconoclasta_88 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Man! This armor is looking really amazing. Congrats. About the sleepy eye, I use my right eye like that too. But the left is wide open. For me, it was a Move Along thing. Yours look really cool too. It adds character to your TD! Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Update Everything in place. I just need to add velcro to the back of the (canvas) belt, add some foam inside the forearms and dye my pouches. That leaves weathering and my T-21 wich I'll start to work on in a few days. The backpack will have to wait for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENFORCER Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ah! X-acto! I have all the sharp tools one could ask for (too many depending whom you ask). I was not entirely off when thinking about detailed files then. Cudos brothers! In europe the x-acto knife is just known as a stanley knife, well thats what they are called in Scotland before i moved here to Canada and asked for a stanley and i got some weird looks i can tell you....lol Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
