Aaaand done!

Easy hovi tip swap.

And this awesome bit of kit showed up! Thanks [mention]ukswrath [/mention]

I understand there are not a lot of DO's. I appreciate the time you are taking for me. Thank you for pointing out the mic tips. My fault for naturally assuming supplied mesh was the correct size. I think I got it corrected: Installed more accurate mesh, old mesh held up for comparison

I decided to get a rubies helmet instead of making the paper one cause that would be too much work. the blue frown gives me the icks those stickers scare me... those foam pads made it pop up so I couldn't wear it well. I took them out. they were fixed in with hot glue... but for whatever reason, the seller decided to ship it in this: yep, no box, no bubble wrap, nothing. just thin tissue-like wrapping paper. nothing else. it was half-torn open when it arrived. the helmet itself was okay, thanks to the clamshell. I also foud it funny that there was not one, but TWO "fragile stickers pros of helmet: shiny, resembles stormtrooper, fits okay after removal of foam pads. sticker on the front of the helmet are mostly okay. cons: big seam down the middle, blurry not dark enough eyes, earbuttons looks like marshmellow, back trapezoids are horrific, terrifying blue frown, vocoder is a blob, mic tips have weird silver drybrush, so yeah its mostly garbage. i'm gonna have to do some modding. I'm going to at least fix eyes, frown and back trapezoid stickers.

Congratulations and welcome to the centurion ranks trooper

I may or may not have jumped up and down in my room for a bit... Thanks a lot! I'll be sure to make the Legion proud. Long live the Empire!

I'll help as much as I can. You got this

Hi Guillermo, Thanks for your application and for the quick fixes. I'm glad you figured out a better way to wear your armor that closes the ab/kidney gap and also lets your helmet sit lower. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Centurion! On behalf of the DO team and myself, many congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly In this area we discuss areas that could benefit from additional improvement. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions We have nothing more to add other than the items that were mentioned in your EIB review. Congratulations again on reaching the rank of Centurion!

Yeah I will be following your build thread as well for tips here and there. You are the CRL photo after all

That's weird, they should be using the same molds regardless.

Anovos just be all over the place never know what your going to get.

The Anovos bucket has the appropriate mesh on the screens while the kit one has the smaller tighter mesh screen. I have the new ones from @ukswrath I will be adding to the kit helmet.

Excelente Guillermo !!

Yet another awesome submission, my brother (but I would expect nothing less from you). My only comment so far is that your fence could use a pressure-wash. Fantastic job on this armor, and you should be proud.

¡Puedes hacer esto, hermano, FÁCIL arreglo!

Hello everyone my name is aiden i live in St. Catharines Canada I’m new to all this and I just got my imperial surplus first order stormtrooper kit I love it but I need help putting it together is there anyone near by that could help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Done. Not sure how I missed that. Maybe I was looking at an outdated requirement listing for EIB. Front of sniper knee plate: Split rivet with washer for interior of thigh ammo pack:

Hi Jonathan, Great to see your Centurion application! There are still some issues to take care of before we can proceed. Starting from the top, the L3 CRL states: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. Your shoulder bells look *much* better than in your EIB application, but we'd still like to see you bring them in further, especially at the top. Reference: Next, the L3 CRL states: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Your belt is sitting just a hair too low. Reference Images: Moving on, the L3 CRL states: No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. Your forearms still have some return edge. I've indicated all the areas I can see, but you should take a close look and ensure there's nowhere where the forearm is bending in at all. Reference Image: Next, this was an oversight on my part in your EIB review as I should have asked for an interior belt photo, but it's actually a Basic requirement to have the dropboxes connected with white straps: The drop boxes dangle from the sides of the front plastic belt (ammo belt) via white straps and are aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt. Many of us connect them with pop rivets, but you can also simply glue the white elastic to the back of the drop boxes, or use velcro as you are now. Note that when you're replacing the strapping, you should keep in mind the Centurion requirements as well: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Reference Images: Continuing on with your belt, as was pointed out in your EIB review, the corners of the plastic belt should come as close as possible to the edges of the canvas belt. I believe you can get close enough by carefully trimming off the end of the ABS belt. The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. Reference Images: Finally, after a lot of discussion, the DO team has concluded that your blaster won't pass Centurion as-is. I love that more troopers are using 3D-printed blasters and I'm sure your blaster looks great at troops, but Centurion is our highest level of approval so our requirements are quite stringent. The CRL states: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. Your blaster has prominent print lines all over which will need to be sanded smooth. Additionally, your grip is missing the grip texture which is clearly seen in reference photos, so the grip will need to be replaced/reprinted. Your Hengstler counter also appears to have been printed in two separate pieces which is okay, but they should look more connected. In the photo there appears to be a pretty visible gap between the two halves. Some other non-blocking issues are that your Hengstler counter is positioned quite far back compared to reference photos, and there are a couple of indicated areas where you're using philips head screws where there should be none. Reference Images: So there's a few items to take care of, but we have a lot of faith that you can get there. Please reach out to us if you have any questions as we're here to help you. Also, when you post your corrections, it would be really helpful to post larger versions so that we can see details more easily. Thanks, Sha Sha

I found with some padding just in front of the ears stops any bobbing of the helmet, it also does away with the chin strap if padding is tight enough, tried one once and hated it.

Yeah. I can see very clearly the different in the mesh. Really looking forward to seeing you build this. Definitely want to get a shadow myself. Plus the Spec ops are just a great bunch of people.

Ole ole !! Felicitaciones Guillermo, bienvenido a Centurion !!! Congratulations Guillermo, welcome to Centurion ranks!!

I have several pieces of elastic with multiple snaps attached and spaced so it's easy to work out strapping length, trial and error

For those shooting for Specialist you'll most undoubtedly be required to replace the Anovos bucket screens as well. The weave is still too small for the higher level of approval. When in doubt you can check with the Spec Ops website. Keep up the great work David

Word of advice for any build. Keep your scrap it comes in handy in the long run.

And for some people if they get anything at all from them it seems. I seen some people state they been waiting years for there kits they ordered that's just crazy.

I have purchased some Anovos buckets alone and Kits and never seen something like that. stranger things

Justin, the roster has been updated and congratulations brother. Let me know when you get the nod for the EIB and I will update again. Jeff

Almost there Trooper !!

This is one of the best looking sets of armor I've seen in a long time, Jonathan. Lots of attention to detail, especially the paint work on the bucket and ab-plate buttons.. WOW! Well done, sir, and I can definitely see a Centurion badge under your name in the near future..

Way to go Jonathon, looks like the right mesh now.

Congratulations

Congrats man!! Looking forward to seeing your L2 and L3!!

Well dang, I wasn't 100% certain until now that it was required, but I guess I have my answer. My blaster has been on order from @Hellhounds for some time, but I know he just moved studios and is a bit behind, so hopefully I'll have it in hand and pictures added soon. With Hyperfirm gone (good riddance) and Praetorian on hold after the hurricanes, I'm not sure any people are offering other options (and I don't own a 3D printer, or like printed blasters, and don't want a S&T metal one because conventions). Please let me know if there are any other required fixes you notice in the meantime!

Hi Jonathan! We appreciate your patience as we work through the review queue. You have a beautiful build and it's clear you've done your research. There's one correction necessary before we can continue, and that's replacing your hovi tip screen with a wider mesh, which is an EIB requirement: Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white. Reference Images: Let us know if you have any trouble locating the proper mesh. Otherwise, we'll be here when you're ready to continue with your review. Thanks!

This topic has also been raised in the past. As it has been so rare of an occurrence it is taken on a case by case scenario.

That’s really strange, the differences in size and no tube stripes. What’s the difference between the hovi tips? I don’t think the picture is clear enough. I was looking at an Anovos shadow kit myself, but I’ve been afraid with all the issues with QC lately. It’ll be cool to see how yours goes.

Cleaned up the ABS paste. So much better than the White E6000.

Looking forward to seeing the progress, good luck with the build

Being idle definitely builds up the fog and steam, normally moving around isn't too bad especially if there is a breeze, I've done a 39deg C troop outdoors and only needed the one fan, just feeling the air moving in front of your face makes you feel just a little cooler

I’m in the U.K. so it’s rarely that hot here but I just got two pairs of fans for my TK & TX lids because as soon as I put my TK lid on with the balaclava - instant lens fog, I couldn’t see a thing. So, temperature aside - fans are good to have for that purpose too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
