Hello everyone from Ukraine! We decided to take a couple of photos, I hope it's not bad.

Mission accomplished. Now on to measuring for final assembly! My FiL was totally stunned, and we chatted about the 501st Legion and Stormtrooper kits throughout the movies for about an hour afterwards. He's 100% thrilled. More to come! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

congratulations trooper!!!

Congratulations trooper.

I certainly hope you get your purchase brother, in fact I really hope everyone gets what they are owed, more than anything.

In looking at some of their existing products the prices will probably be a LOT higher than Anovos. For instance, if someone from the RL was looking to do a Han costume, the jacket, shirt, pants and vest alone would be over $2,700.00. Seriously? The prices of the various buckets run from $600-700. Way high IMO so this doesn't bode well for a full set of armor, and they may price themselves out of the market.

Congrats Dwight!! Smoooooothhhhhhhh

Hi Dwight, and thank you for your application for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry! CRL and EIB Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to EI! On behalf of the entire DO staff, congratulations!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Overall a great looking set of armor, sir! Just a couple of items here for ya': We are strongly suggesting that (if at all possible) you move the bottoms of the ears toward the back a bit. As of now they are sitting at about a 90° angle to the ridge/brow trim. Ideally, as seen in the reference images the angle should follow the rear angle of the trap above them, and the center of the round part at the top should sit directly below that line, hopefully covering the overlap join of the cap/faceplate. Is this a quick fix? Nope, but it should take less than 30 minutes and would give you a MUCH sharper looking bucket. Remember, it's all in the details at Centurion level. Reference images We noticed that your rear thigh cover strips are not lined up perfectly, but not to worry. The main thing we noticed is that the tops of the thighs could use a trim in the rear. You may or may not experience clicking noises when you walk from the points catching on the posterior plate, but from a comfort standpoint removing some of that will make mobility easier. Trust me. Suggested trim Reference images Centurion Requirements In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustments. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items to pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all that we can from what is seen, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. First, don't be alarmed by all the photos below! Most are just quick painting issues, but there are a couple of items in particular that need some attention. We are asking that you take 30 seconds to tighten up the left bottom ear screw. Easy fix! Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk... Reference images Overall a really nice paint job on the vocoder, but we would like to see the top lines a little crisper/cleaner. A filbert style brush will make this an easy fix. Reference images A little "battle damage" is always going to happen and is expected, but for now we ask that you double-check your side rivets to make sure they are all painted for a much better look. Reference image You absolutely nailed the paint job on the large ab-button plate, but we are requesting that you touch up the sides of the ones on the smaller plate for a more rounded look. Reference images The gap in the bottom of your right thigh ridge is passable, but the left side will need to be less noticeable. An ABS shim glued behind it would take care of this nicely. If you would like to add some ABS paste (or even a little white silicone type filler) that would be even better! Reference images Last up.. you have an awesome looking blaster there, but the selector switch is missing! I know this is a small issue, but only the Bapty style E-11s did not have them (which are not permitted at L3). They are available online (example here) and will be pretty simple simple to install. Just drill a hole, glue it in and DONE! And that's it, brother! You have a little work in front of you, but we have every confidence that with your build skills (and our help if you need it) I can see a Centurion badge below your name in the very near future! YOU CAN DO IT!

I got a KB one and I'm not extremely happy with the frown and nose, but I think both the WTF and KB buckets are smaller than the ANOVOS/black series... I think I'm going to try completing the KB with modifications mentioned on my build thread, and if I royally mess up, black series modding I go. Thank you @funkster for taking the time and pointing me over here.

Hijacking a hijacker’s. Modding a BS will be easier Either look at my WIP or a thread I made about the two lids.

Hi Steve from a much shorter trooper, Enjoy the experience of your armour build and welcome to the FISD brother.

SBB (small brown box ) day, with new cod and grebblies. Will post a picture later. Lost a much weight as possible, time to resize the torso.

I've now tidied up the return edges & trimmed the right bicep. After much measuring, taping, test fitting, adjusting, and measuring again, I now have the right forearm at the same stage. Next task will be to do the same with the left bicep & forearm. I'll definitely have to organise an armour party in the new year.

Count yourself lucky. It could of been worse. You could of been one of the few (like me) that ordered a "Sanotized Creations" TLJ helmet Kit from SANO from his first run a while back! Had high hopes for this helmet kit after buying and finishing "Phoenix Props" TFA helmet kit from Derrek but I can't bring myself to finish the TLJ kit as I'm so disappointed and angry with the build quality and finish! The maker even admitted shipping them in a poor unfit state!

These are awesome photos Alexander, thank you for sharing.

nice set of photos , looks cool !!
