Took pictures with the legs off so you can see the contrast. I did add some more glue to make sure they don't move. Front view Side view

I think it is the angle as I already have e6000 to hold them in place. Will take updated pictures

Perfect! Thank you for such expeditious photography. This is exactly what we were looking for. Processing will take place shortly.

Hello Lou! Thank you for your Centurion application. It is currently under review and we will be back with you shortly!

Where has this little Gem been Hiding? This is Awesome!!!!

CRL's are always evolving TFA and TLJ are ones on the list for changes BUT there has been a backlog from other CRL's which should have been updated. by now so they are a little bogged down. You'd be surprised what some can pick up with not even having a particular costume for a CRL, it really depends on how much research they do. Others don't seem to want to provide images for what ever reason until it suits them, this is seen on a lot of occasions even with 40 year old references. TKC went under review last year and was open to comment and suggestions, as was ANH and ROTJ but all takes time. Wrong. you can take it up with the LMO team if you believe there is something wrong in the CRL, they have to power to over rule your GML and GCO you just need to provide screen evidence

Not sure I fully understand the issue but this D.O team har yet to receive an FOTK application for EIB or Centurion and for what it´s worth I have an EIB cleared FOTK (would be Centurion if I had received the latex gaskets)

So... what is this FizzDee thing? How does it work exactly? It's good to be back, yo. I just saw a ghost! He just likes me because I bought him a beer. -Eric

Ideally it should follow the contour of the shin behind But looks like it can't go any higher

In EIB it was suggested that I extend the frown paint. Removed the corners New paint

Still tweeting mine. I’d sand down the thighs keeping the natural curve, I did it to mine. I also sanded the indie top return edge on the sniper knee which helped with the clanging as will shortening the thigh. Lastly I’d say invest in a hard hat liner for the helmet. It’s a huge difference. I’ve found it keeps the helmet a bit more steady on your head Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi thanks fin re-started muy aplication .I send the photos. Enviado desde mi Aquaris X Pro mediante Tapatalk

I guess the CRL is under review, but after being told that should have been acceptable by others and my bad from new staff members on an issue with troopers ab boxes I think it's time for all of us as a community to work to make a better CRL. The CRL should not be decided by people that don't even have an FOTK done, it should be a community driven tool that is accurate. I was told lots of things were assumed just to get approvals knocked out. But we now have a wealth of resources from all the movies so far. So let's discuss and remain civil, this is mostly a reminder to myself because I'm still mad that even after showing supporting evidence my leadership said there was "nothing they could do until the CRL was changed"

haha you guys are awesome

Can't wait to contribute.

I know, progress is slowing down. Lots of other things to do in my spare time, but don’t worry I’ll get there! Hopefully temperatures will rise so that I can start painting the Hengstler counter black and hotglue the display, speaker and switch in there. The frosting hides the LEDs from direct sight and spreads their light. The main power LED will be mounted at the front of the barrel, so its light output is not affected by the frosting. Glad you like the result! Cheers mates!

Thanks a lot for your feedback . I‘m currently still looking for the right screws. details of my gloves from RS and hand plates:

I will 3rd him LOL. Just received mine yesterday. Can’t wait to install it tomorrow.

When building my TK I had the same idea for storage (keys, cash for subway,etc...). Now that I have trooped in a few different situations, I would not feel comfortable having anything of value in a TD. For spare parts, I keep mine in the car along with tape/glue because if something can't wait until the end of the troop to fix, I will need to remove the armor to fix it (TD just would not hold enough). If keys/money is a concern, get a passport bag to fit around your neck and hide behind the chest armor https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Wallet-hidden-passport-Luggage/dp/B01N30R8CX/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=113E5BDQCOP0B&keywords=passport+pouch+neck&qid=1553005313&s=gateway&sprefix=passport+po%2Caps%2C236&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1 If you want the cap to be retained, use a small bungee cord attached to both caps. Doesn't take up a lot of room and the caps are always pulling against each other https://www.amazon.com/Shock-Cord-inch-Diamond-Grip/dp/B07HQBHV88/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=small%2Bbungee%2Bcord&qid=1553005542&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&th=1 HTH, Lou

This is coming along nicely

I did this for a promo video to support the BC Lung Associations Stair Climb for Clean air fundraiser. This is an event where participants see how long it takes to get up a 48 storey building in Vancouver. Funds are raised to help those with lung conditions, and as a tradition - firefighting teams from all around come to compete in full gear! Yves Ho TD 9815 has done this for years IN COSTUME to compete with the firefighters. And yes, he is fast in armor! I did this event last year without armor and it was tiring! Anyways, Yves challenged our garrison to see how fast we could gear up. Here's my submission, complete with distractions.

Looks good to me Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Okay, so I went over the vocoder and made the 'bumps' on the top more pronounced by going past the moulding. And I scratched back the teeth a bit (screwdriver, and gently - I don't have any toothpicks!) I labelled 'em up to make it easier to feed back if it needs more tweaking...

Thank you brothers!

Thanks for sharing that video about the selector switch, really cool. Really nice to see how your frosted acrylic tubing working good like that, excellent concept and execution! Looking forward to your next update! Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

I have all that and I could have made u an AWESOME ONE... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck brother! Georgia Garrison Centurion #10 coming soon!

This is the kind of reply I was hoping for earlier when I pondered storage. This looks great but the elastic might take up some storage space or get in the way of larger items. The caps are already a super tight fit and I have read some hot bath them to relax the plastic and avoid stress on the plastic. My tube has thick walls so I've got room to sand them down for a smoother fit. Might consider a locking ring or something with magnets.

Thanks I'll have to do that later. On my phone now and it takes me to the browser Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

lol thanks john

OK, the CRL was written before that info got known and the CRL pic has abs-pasted the seam. If you do as Q suggested you have a strong case in getting approval. Hopefully there will be a new wording were both are acceptable - ab boxes are flush to the abdomen with or without a visible seam - or something similar so you can go either way, screen accurate or idealised. Atleast I think so.

While we (honestly) appreciate your views, Dustin, at the moment (with a few exceptions) the D.O. staff are bound to follow what is written in the CRLs which we know are ever evolving so we are not "dismissing" your evidence. Details that may have been missed when they were initially composed are noticed, which is why we are in the process of performing updates. Please realize that updating the CRLs is not a simple task, and that those doing so are volunteers, so things take time. We will be doing the CRL updates in "batches", with OT TKs coming first, as those make up the vast majority of level 2 and 3 approvals. Immediately after those updates are approved and posted, we will be starting on FO TKs. We have several troopers who are current FO TKs (including one or our LMOs) that have an incredible working knowledge of these costumes who will be advising on prospective changes when that time comes, so yes, we DO have FO TKs who will be involved. At some point during the proposed changes there will be a discussion opened up for all members to contribute, and I hope your voice will be one of those. Also, consider that we are the largest Detachment in the 501st, and therefore the D.O.s have 19 TK costumes within the FISD that they are expected to approve at higher levels. No one can honestly be expected to be an expert in every single one, so they depend on the CRLs to supply this information. As a former D.O., I can assure you that they certainly try, though. In closing, bear with us, voice your opinion when the time comes, and know that it will be heard and considered. I promise you that.

Woohoo! Great work!

Thanks again for your quick responses Josh & Welcome to EIB!

Hello all! It has been a while since I've been active over here, but I'm happy to be back. With a name like "stormtrooperguy" you can probably guess that I'm into stormtroopers. My first suit was an FX kit bought in 2004. I replaced the helmet within a couple of months with a GF2. Eventually I replaced the body with an AP kit, then an ATA after that. Eventually I added a second suit... the highly controversial Death Trooper aka Zombie Stormtrooper. I absolutely love this suit and wear it as often as I can (which is only 2 -3 times a year). My ANH stunt was starting to look as messed up as my zombie suit, so I converted it to a sand trooper. I'm hoping to pick up a new kit this year and get a shiny suit back in rotation. So here I am, ready to help out!

Certainly all true based on a TFA Riot Baton but the Black Series was marketed as a TLJ Riot Baton. Given there are no images to verify any changes it is somewhat in a grey area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Going on with adding some details on the counter... I used an old Aluminium piece and a fuse from the car... Next detail... Nearly ready for painting now... just need to cover the Power Level Indicator areas and the display... to be continued... you guys, have a great weekend!

Strange that the glue is failing like that. You can try a slight bend in the strips to match your shape before gluing, and also try roughing up each surface with an aggressive sandpaper before gluing to help give it something to stick to.

Ahhh...there´s a tremor in the Force....
