I will update the relevant sections later, Last night I did the paint on the rivets And also painted the pan head screws on the TD today Took the shoulder bridges I made and glued them into place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats James! It's great to see somebody take on the spot as FISD's most recent Centurion! Good company in our little sequence here too... Morgi at 521, myself at 522, and now you at 523!

Hi James, 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. Nothing to add. You have corrected everything that was requested, so we can only congratulate you for your new Centurion badge. Congratulations #523!!!

Hi all...my first time majorly posting on here (hope I got it right) but wanted to share my project. I think we've all seen them on screen and I know thoughts about their look are mixed, but to me the TK seen in the episode looked pretty rad. So since I print a lot of helmets for myself I bought a print file from mcflyprint3d and got to work. It was a pretty fun project and came out better than I expected. I'm now in the process of working on the armor file provided by mcflyprint3d. I've also printed out the animated version of the DC-15S from Galactic Armory that we see them using in the episode. This is my first time trying to print/build an entire kit...I''ll be sharing my progress as it comes along, and welcome any feedback. From start to finish To the finished product Currently on the printers Totally hope this works out.

Sandtrooper would be the easiest if it’s looking roughed up as is. There are definitely some differences between stormtroopers and Sandtroopers so you’d want to check out the CRLs and build sections of the forums to get more info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Crl states for L2: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. Depending on the armor, some molds match exactly the sniper knee flat and aligned with the ridges of the shin as you rightly pointed and on the contrary others don't match flat. On screen with can see both, flat and with little gap . Since the CRL requirement is to be aligned with the ridges, a little gap in the bottom is allowable . Example EIB app References References Gap Flat You can make a Pre-glue test and post here or by PM to see how it looks.

Thanks Luca.

Congratulations Trooper!

Congratulation and welcome to Centurion!

Congratulations and welcome to the centurion ranks trooper

Congrats James, welcome to the ranks. Enjoy your first troops!

Congratulations Dan!

Congratulations James, welcome to Centurion

It came with the rubber guards you have pictured just need to look at what gloves to use.

Yeah cos of the fitment I had to get my partner to help me put it on and the pieces for the legs are not correct. The snaps for the belt were not playing well and the boots being 2 sizes too small meant I had lost patience lol. But thanks for the tips it's a starting point just need to stay focused and not start a mando or 3d print an r2 d2 till this is done.

Thank you Chemi! And to all of you who helped get me over the line. This is just the best news to wake up to! And FISD is just the best place! Thanks to all your sage advice, detailed build logs and endless patience, I managed to take my armour from Big Brown Box to Centurion without ever having another human being in the room. Took me two years. But I got there! Thanks again!

I've been carrying on poking the 1s and 0s around. I think I have managed to fit a micro switch into the front hinge of the blaster, well actually a "miniature" microswitch which is a decent amount smaller but can still take 3 Amps so hopefully will be up to the job. The idea is this can work the front torch rather than using triggers to do this. Fitting the switch was not too bad, but getting the wires out was harder. I've opted to run two small tunnels either side of the mounting screw and through into the box section of the front stock, which then can run up into the barrel before entering the hollow core of the blaster. The switch will be held in place by an M4 grubscrew, so should it fail it can be removed and replaced without worrying about glue. You can also see on this image 2 location pin holes I added as I struggled to line this part up on my unfinished blaster. This is just 2 1.75mm holes for some filament offcuts. I still need to order the switches and check fit but it should work and gives a nice option for a switch in a place that makes sense. I also struggled with getting good results sanding the Magazine end cap, so I broke it into 2 parts. The main cover, and the button. In theory you could also make this a working button but I've not done that. Yet, I suppose you could do it with a tactile switch stuck through the cover. It should be about the right size. Finally I have also been working on full lights and sound setup, because apparently I needed more work before I can call this finished * I have based this on an Arduino Nano as I have several to hand and they are cheap, a cheap DfPlayer audio board, an old laptop speaker but want to try some others, a 1 watt 6 Pin RGB, some neopixels and 2 switches. The current working setup has a primary trigger that fires a blast, and a second that toggles the front torch on an off (Yellow LED in what follows as the white one was annoyingly bright). A blast triggers the sound effect, sends a streak of down the side that has a short dimming tail to help convey the motion, and blips the Red part of the front RGB holds it very briefly then fades out quickly. Again this attempts to convey motion and cool downs. The main issue I have is the audio lags by up to 1/2s. If you keep audio running, each new trigger is instant, but from a cold start there can be a big delay which won't do. I am wondering if this could be the fake DFPlayer board I have, but I don't really want to pay 3x the price for a real one due to handling fees at the vendor. More work on this to follow I am sure. As mentioned the 2nd button toggles the front torch but now I have a front switch this leaves it open to other uses which I've not decided on yet. Plus the option for the extra button on the magazine cover, though if I'm not sure what to do with 2 what would I do with 3? Nice to have hardware that can be expanded though if I can make it fit. I also need to work out if the torch should remain software driven, or if the front switch will just do that directly and so simplify things a little. This will all go on a custom PCB designed in KiCad and which will be available publicly, along with the software. The software is already if you know where to look The JST XH headers, are bulky but give a degree of ease to assemble as you can do all the soldering away from the easy to melt blaster. They may yet still go away, especially if I want 3 switches to read in software as well. And as a reward for reading all of that drivel here is a demo of the blaster and it's all important hidden mode. Sorry it's vertical I made it for the gram. * I am aware the irony of using the word finished in a thread that dates back to about 120BC

Congratulations

Hi Dan , and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB 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 Expert Infantry. 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. Starting from top. The screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. The right one looks great and the left one could be improved a little. Reference Images Your small ab buttons plate could be trimmed a little more for accuracy Reference Images Your TD is sitting quite high (minimal but we noted as suggestion), so you might see if you can push it down further, or possibly 'unroll' the clips so it sits lower. *************************************************** Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.  CRL: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. As you can see bellow , your sniper knee is riding a little lower and the top of the shin can be seen . If you used E6000 tu fix the Sniper Knee , it would be easy to fix the position. Reference Images And that's all Trooper! Congratulations for reaching EIB with this new version of your armor.!!! looking for your Centurion Submission soon Sir.

We spent over 2 years going through the forum trying to fix as many as we could, the issue we had was some images were not recoverable from forum migrations over the years as well as inactive members and of course photobucket. No admin voodoo unfortunately just old fashioned work.
