Progress up date time! After working with TK-88667, we determined I need to add shims, and he provided me with some Anovos white scraps that will help with that! Thanks! So I have begun moving forward with that upgrade. started with cutting the return on the sides off. (Gulp) Removed the rivets Glued plugs in the holes and patched with ABS paste oh, and I don’t recommend adding paint thinner rather than Acetone to make your paste… oops grabbed the wrong can! I was wondering why it wasn’t getting more fluid… and I have started to glue in backer material (not the proper white, but it’s inside)

Nice work so far

Thanks for all the EIB feedback, the congratulations and the advice regarding Centurion! There's a few things on my to-do list now and I hope to get around to them soon enough. As I've got a few busy weekends ahead of me, I'm not too sure when I'll be able to start working on the requested modifications, but I'm sure there'll be an update on here soon enough EDIT: I just noticed I forgot to add "Memes" to the list above... shame on me, those are my most important achievement

I was looking around at armor reference pictures and I am sure this has probably been discussed, but it seems clear that there isnt a strap holding the bicep to the shoulder. Has anyone ever built their armor this way?

Luca Hahn 66744 EIB A4 Joseph Thanks guys! Our pleasure.. see you at Centurion soon! https://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/66744-eib.png

Fantastic thread. Wish I'd seen it when I was painting mine.

Esteemed members of the 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment, greetings! This is a momentous and exciting day for all of us. Overwhelmingly, I expect that at this point in time, you truly have no idea as to why it is such an exciting day. Allow me to explain. It is inevitable that we will face change in nearly all areas of our lives eventually. Our costuming hobby is no different. Whether it is new movies, TV shows, or video games which present us with new opportunities, or a bold new idea for an exciting piece of merchandise that excites us, change brings with it a variety of emotions and energy. It is in this spirit of change, excitement, and energy, that this day breaks with new direction for us all. Inspired by the examples presented in the world today, by Disney, LFL, and the 501st Legion as global entities committed to effecting positive change in our world, and in the spirit of unity, camaraderie, and togetherness that we announce a major change in operations for us as members of the 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment. As we all know – or maybe we don’t, but I will explain – the first scenes ever shot for anything Star Wars were some of those on the desert planet of Tatooine. It was there that the first world of Star Wars came to life for us. As a way to honor the history of the saga that shaped so many of our lives, it has been decided that, effective immediately, the 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment, its CRLs, staff functions, websites, Facebook groups, members, etc are absorbed into the Mos Eisley Police Department. We look forward to serving proudly alongside our dirtier comrades in armor and having the opportunity to order new (to us) racing shirts, coins, and patches! With unquestioned loyalty, dirt don’t hurt! (For the purpose of clarification, this is our edition of the annual April Fool's post for 2021, it is not true)

Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

NOW you tell me... I just spent all night converting my HWT pack into a Sandie pack.

With a strap on the inside of the bicep to shoulder bell in Addition to the hook. There are numerous build that did that. I did it to mine after it moved around and would pop out of the shoulder bell.
