Dan’s is correct - great eye as usuall Somehow I missed that in your EIB review but we need you to redo it for Centurion. Apologies for not spotting this earlier. On a positive note, as I’m waiting on additional info from those prior applications I mentioned I’m going to start on yours, that’s why I saw the post about the cover strips.

Hi everyone, So, after a long time of thinking about it, I finally went ahead and ordered an HDPE helmet from DA PROPS (UK...edit, now France...). The kit was delivered in good time and included all the the parts required for the build. As many of you might know, I’m a little particular with OTTKs and requested this to be supplied un-trimmed. As below, where the back section meets the tubes on the face plate, the lower edges were quite flared. After a rough trim and trial positioning I knew that I didn’t want to cut the flares off so I used heat to correct them. I’ve made a start on the eyes, using various screen used helmet pictures for reference. Whilst I’m not looking to emulate a specific Stunt trooper from ANH, I really want to capture the feel of the originals. In that light, I hand cut the eyes with a Stanley knife, periodically comparing (split screen using LiveCollage) to screen used helmets. Starting small and slowly taking more and more away. More to come soon.... :-)

I have ATA ANH , it's light and have thick ABS

I'll post pics tomorrow as well when the glue dries. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Just a little bit of video from Supanova setup 1/2 hour before the doors open, it was a shame the 25 meter space we had been told we would get was only 19 meters so had leave a bit of the display out, would have loved to expand the Galaxy's Edge section but people still seemed to enjoy it, and the Coke section definitely caught a few out 3.30 am (stupid pain) and day 2 is 6 and 1/2 hours away, going to be a long day.

3D prints now needs to be sanded smooth as it can’t have any visible print lines for EIB and beyond. I would normalt recommend Imperial Warfighters on FB as they have a great rubber E-11 at a very good price, pretty much ready to go out of the box. However, Ryan, the owner, just suffered a tragic loss of his wife so no sure if they are taking orders at the moment.

Great effort Pam! More EIBs and Centurions on the way on the Peninsula side!

Hi Christopher, There quite a bit out there these days. To help get the most feedback, you might want to try posting this in the “weapons locker”. Personally, I went with modifying a doopydoos kit. This resin kit is low cost but is pretty detailed. To take it above and beyond, many builders opt for “T-Jay’s completion set” which includes many upgrade parts to make it more realistic. 3D printed ‘can’ be an option, however, they require a lot of sanding to make them look decent. Many just print and paint and these look a little rough, to my eyes. If you wanted a rubber blaster, Praetorian Blasters and Sheartech would be two that I would consider. Here’s a link to my own Doopydoos E-11 with the T-Jay’s completion set, if it helps. :-) Best wishes Dan

Good luck Pam, great pics

Nice work, Pam. :-) Just a little something that might get flagged by the D.O. team - your left shin appears to be overlapping from the wrong side. The shins should overlap from the outside over inside. Should be quite a quick fix. [emoji1303] Best of luck with approval. :-) Dan

Pretty sure they weren´t in mint condition day 1 either

501st aproved!!

Look postman Jack'o with a box,what could it be? The HPDE helmet is here! The detail is even sharper then my RS pvc lid. Check out the sharp edge on the right eye. and on top of the nose. on the lower jaw
