Troopers! Just a quick note to remind everybody that I'm always on the lookout for new informative resources to add to this thread, so if you spot something not listed that may be helpful, send it my way! I definitely want to harness the hive mind for the ultimate goal of troopers helping troopers!

Menshen or threshold guardian are divine guardians of doors and gates in Chinese folk religions, used to protect against evil influences or to encourage the entrance of positive ones. February 12 is the traditional Chinese New Year, I hope you have a peaceful and prosperous new year. 除厄免灾： Removal of bad luck and avoidance of disasters 家宅平安： Keep peace for your home On my chest there's a Chinese character 福（means happiness、satisfied、fulfilled），and it‘s on inverted position. In Chinese it‘s a homonym，福到了=happiness have arrived I know stormtroopers shouldn't use lightsabers，but it's just for fan~

Ok got it thanks. I will do this as I have not installed the shoulder bell snaps yet. The shoulder straps are made.

Yea I was reading that. Good Lord you really went all out, I downloaded a few templates off that link, but honestly at this stage I don't have the time and patience. I wasn't aware of the different versions of the E-11. I have been looking at the hyperdyne labs conversion if that's even still there, but I mean - that kit was something like $250.

I plan on cutting a couple more cover strips for the insides of the shin fronts. I just did all the 20's x 6 initially.

There are advantages of the Hasbro, lighter than most scratch build and lights and sound I'm sure I've seen some 3D files around for updating the Hasbro blaster, I'll have a dig around see if I can find them. Great to see you have your coverstrip material, should move along now

No this is for the shoulder straps chest to back plate, then you add the strap to shoulder bells White strapping on the right of image, notice the two middle snaps are off center, more towards the front

Best of luck Scott.

Great references Glen, the MEPD has nothing of this quality

I just did the same thing got bored with COVID so I just made one too.

Awesome kit especially inside helmet

Ouh yeah ! Now to find the good pauldron and the mini lighter :p

Nice work. When it comes to adding the shoulder bells straps if you add them further to the front it will help to keep them rotated inwards not backwards

I'd try to remove most of your return edge until deciding on coverstrip width, we do try to keep them standard sized on the front as that's what is what the public sees, also would match up with your forearms so there is that to consider. Note: a lot of screen armor had little to no return edge

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person

Looking good.

Posting a few details

Very clean build up.

Nice going, Trooper. Welcome to the ranks! A.J.

Awesome David! Congratulations on Centurion and making the first 500!

I don't know about craziest but I've done a few surprise birthdays and weddings, the best was the bride of a fellow member (a stormtrooper) contacted us without him knowing and asked for us to make an appearance at their wedding, the member knew nothing until we came charging out when we heard "does anyone have any reason why these two should not be wed" to which we replied "stop, stop your wanted back on the death star" got a roar of laughs and the member was really chuffed, he couldn't stop thanking us after the event.
