Hi Luca, and thank you for your submission for ANH Stunt Centurion! CRL and CENTURION Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of CENTURION. 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, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Sorry for the delay, but thank you for taking care of the issues mentioned in your EI submission, brother! I see that trooping like a madman has indeed added some weathering. Not the biggest of deals of course, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention it, lol. I'm actually kind of digging the "battle worn" look, but the hand guards could use a quick coat of paint. One thing I would mention is the cracking issues. Inevitable for the most part, and it looks as if you have addressed the ones in your posterior plate. The one in the shoulder tab should probably be tackled with some scrap ABS for strength. Other than that, congrats and welcome to the ranks as the newest Centurion in the German Garrison!

Thank you so much! Glad to finally have that badge Oh, and no worries, all of my cracks get the proper treatment-- including my shoulders. If you look closely at my strapping picture, you can spot the reinforcements for both shoulders: Going for a winter-break and light clean-up right now, so I'll add my handguards to the list, thanks for pointing them out! Otherwise I'll remove all color stains and a bit of the weathering that doesn't look good to me, fill in some cracks and reinforce most of the problem areas once more. Gotta keep myself busy

thank you

Grats Luca!!!

Congratulations Luca...

Congratulations Trooper !! Welcome to Centurion ranks

Well deserved, Luca! Congratulations

Congratulations and welcome to the Centurion ranks at long last trooper

Thanks. The OCD has been very, VERY rough though. If I take it slow the task doesn't get as overwhelming. I have a hard time deciding on what elastic to use though. Tomorrow I'm hoping to put the torso back on and snap in the arm again with these changes then get opinions then get to the glue. Getting the arms right puts me at 75% of the top half being fitted nicely which is a milestone for me. Bart

Luca have you been naughty or nice?

I'm 30 weeks into my 12 week wait for the BlastFX kit... not that I'm impatient. Just really really thought I'd have it by now. Alas. Anyways, I've trooped twice with the Leia Leveller and it has one problem. It hangs TERRIBLY in the holster. It's not nearly this bad with my leg in the way, but it still pokes out a lot. It's unpleasant. In contrast, my (well, like 50% at this point) resin Quest Design hangs like this. It's fine. Good weight and it doesn't poke out. The QD has the original metal folding stock from Joseph, a hollowed out barrel for the little blinky light and some sound, and the metal Blaster Factory grip and trigger. In contrast, the Blaster Factory E11 is as it came aside from paint and the real Hengstler. The weight and weight distribution is unchanged from the factory spec. So I got this - another genuine Stirling folding stock from Joseph. My thought was that it would add more weight to the nose and help the blaster hang better. The Blaster Factory stock is aluminum and doesn't weigh much at all. The Stirling stock weighs a good bit. They're almost identically sized. A slight different bulge or bend here and there, but the bolts line up. I was able to use the original Blaster Factory screws and spacers (seen at the top) to mount the OG stock. And here it is! Looks pretty much identical huh? I was prepared to file, dremel, cut, and slice to make this work but no work was required. Uninstall one, reinstall the other. I also swapped over the greeblies. And now it hangs like this. It's not perfect but it's WAAAYYYY better and doesn't poke out during troops. The extra couple pounds of weight also feels nice in the hand. The folding stock still folds nice and interfaces where it should with the cap. It doesn't snap in, but it doesn't flop around either. I could bend this a bit more and make the fit tighter, but I hardly ever fold it and don't want to affect how it mounts otherwise, so I'm leaving it. This mod was a slam dunk anyway. Maybe 2023 will see this blaster having some electronics...

The only artwork I have (apart from cheap posters) is a signed limited run artwork by Mark Raats, he lives in Perth and does a lot of artwork for LFL, we have met him on many an occasion and he's a real down to earth guy, always willing to chat and regularly drops by our display at conventions or out at events. I was lucky to be invited to a special Q & A for Mark about his work on the poster for Rise of Skywalker, and was presented with a signed copy.

PVC pipes and foam padding.

Oh yeah such a cool idea with the weapons display, with the metal plates too! Like a museum! Or a Matrix weapons room hehe! Are you going to build the duct/duck tape mannequin with PVC pipe?

Still working on my SW man-cave. The drawers are full of stuff I haven't got around to displaying yet, and planning on building mannequins for one of my TKs and Tusken later this year. I don't own any real weapons of any sort, but my passion is building accurate SW replicas.

I have a few items, here's one wall

I am not much of a collector, but I do have a few things. Don't hate me, but Star Trek is my first love ever since I can remember so I have a guest room with all that stuff in it: Then I do have a few Star Wars items outside of some magazines and books. The drone someone was selling locally. It is unopened and I probably will keep it that way. My uncle dropped off the x-wing one day. It was my cousin's. I didn't really know what I was supposed to do with it, but then thought it worked nice in my home office so it found a home there. I have to figure out where I am going to display the ST helmet when that day arrives and the blaster as I don't think I want to just leave those in a box when not in use. Bart
