Getting close

starting to get all the pieces together

Looking back at this i have found a real one and replicated it. It really make the DL44 a special build now.. So much of that blaster is just guess work and scaling from photos.

Hi all, More progress on the large monocular lense install. Carved away at the scope end cap to best accommodate it. Following the blaster reference picture, made it so the housing for the large lense of the monocular sit flush as possible against the back of the lens retainer, as revealed in the doopydoos scope end cap. I did more work to it than what you see in the pictures, it sits more flush now. Check out the pictures =) Thanks for dropping by. Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

first one off the rotary cnc

I use snaps on the arms in case I need to swap the elastic out as it can stretch over time. Common setup below:

Yes, 10mm from edge to centre. Here's a pic of the RWA kit my son has Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Nice work Giles! See you at Centurion

Congrats you look awesome! Well done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hiya, Whilst it’s a different make of helmet, (RWA), I found these build videos by Ross Walmsley (of RWA Creations), incredibly helpful for my build, for both lid and armour. Worth checking out. Dan :-)

All present and correct now, trooper.

Hi, not sure why, but my EIB award is showing as "rebels" can anyone fix this for me? Thanks

Nice job. Stuart! One of us will be with you shortly, brother, but in the meantime could you post up 2 pics for us? One of the exterior of the cod snap and a close-up of the ab-button plates. (At least you don't have to get suited up for these)! Thanks!!

Congratulations trooper

Congratulations Trooper. Keep up the good work!

Hi Giles, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's have a look, sir! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted., your armour displays all necessary element as set out in the level 2 CRL, Congratulations on a job well done!. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. If any suggestions affects any application, it will be listed below. Incredible job on this armor, sir! You have obviously been studying some of the better build threads here, and your attention to detail quite evident. Just a few notes to make this armor look even better! 1. Starting at the top, the opening on the top inside of your eyes could use a bit of trimming. A round needle file would work perfectly to do this. Reference image 2. Your hovi-mic tips could use some white paint on the inside, and a little on the outside rims to give you a more screen accurate look. Reference image 3. Nice work on the shoulder bell positioning, but you might want to make sure your undersuit isn't peeking out on the left side. It should match the one on your right side. Reference image 4. Not a deal breaker by any means, but tightening up the strapping on the left side of your back/kidney connection would give you a sharper look. Reference image Kudos: The best set of ab plate buttons I've seen in a long time. Outstanding job on the trimming, positioning and paint! Centurion Suggestions: Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. 1. The lower ear screws on your bucket will need to be changed out for the countersunk flathead type to match the ones above them. 2. Looks as if you have a small gap on the bottom of your right kidney/ab connection. You may want to shorten the strapping or canvas belt to tighten this up, but if you choose the belt option be sure that it doesn't cause the top of the posterior plate to stick out. Reference image Again... a fantastic, clean build Giles. Just a few small issues to work on and then I hope to see your Centurion submission!

Maybe celephane, thin clear plastic sheets krinkeled up inside the tube would hold the LED strip in place to keep it from hitting the tube? Now I'm out of ideas .... interested to see how you will go about this, wish you the best! Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

Hi Stuart, Looking good. If you want some tips on the shoulder bell elastic, here’s our armour maker himself; Also, your magazine appears to be inserted backwards in your e-11. Best of luck with clearance. Dan

Nice work, a few adjustments, just watch the spacing between pieces, you'll notice your left leg shin is higher on the boot that the right, left bicep and forearm are higher than the right. It's all about adjusting and tweaking and you'll find even after a few troops you may have to adjust again as the elastic can stretch. Keep up the great work.

Hi all, Small progress - I went and cut away the unnecessary thread part of the large lens of the monocular. I had to do a second go to get close to the lens retainer ring. I had to be careful not to scratch the lense with my hacksaw blade...success! Finished off by sanding even the cut end, happy with the results! Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

Thighs are painted so time for strapping, holster hardware is yet to come. And some assorted pics

So that's what Alderaan looked like while it blew up... huh... (I just imagine that the green is the Death Star laser) Stunning pic by the way.

Hi SW = Star Wars.. I'm wondering if it's possible to get a Scope rail for the ROTJ version E-11 blaster. Perhaps a scope aswell, The greeblies is something i allready have 3d printed in metal, and the plastic sight from a RO 97 air pistol also. (Also interested in perhaps a Folding stock for the MK4, (one in decent shape if possible)
