Either put shims like other people do, or go on a diet.

You should trim that highlighted material anyway, because it's not supposed to be there. The NE guys are just not trimming their kits properly before sending them out.

Yes.

You have two FX (recast or not) helmets, and they are both outdated and widely considered ugly. That's why you're suggested to replace them with something more accurate.

Nice work! Could use some more weathering on the metal parts and wires on the T-track, but that's an easy fix.

The original brand is posted publicly on the forums, and we have excellent pictures of them as well. Those who care to know what brand the originals are and what they look like will find it after doing some research. So if you're not willing to invest 10 minutes digging around this site, you're probably not willing to spend many hours on ebay looking for them. So I don't see how it's a problem. Transparency, yes. Kinder garden, no.

The link is fine, you are allowed to post it. He probably just meant that it is best to ask the deployment officer directly for an answer. I saw the link before you edited it out and while the shape looked decent to me, and could pass for centurion the shafts looked a little short. This is an important part of the boot because it helps the shin stay put and if the shin moves around it could be uncomfortable and even make the shin ride up and get stuck on top of the boot while you are walking.

Alright then. I guess people just don't mention it very often.

Yes, transfer is possible, but to my knowledge that rarely happens just because you live closer to another garrison. But you're right, it could happen. It doesn't matter that much though. You can be a member on both garrison forums and pick and choose where you troop.

You have to stay with your garrison on paper. But as a member there is nothing stopping you from trooping with another garrison.

Oh yeah I forgot about that one! I think RS has something planned for a TIE as well. They have both the faceplate and the chopper helmet now. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

FISD is pretty firmly against recasting, but the legion itself takes no position in the issue. There are many costumes that wouldn't exist today if people hadn't recast others. Like the TIE pilots. There is to my knowledge no "legit" TK faceplate that has been used for TIE pilots.

It's not bigger than an accurate trooper, nor is is easier to build. NE is a recast and despite their modifications there are some things you can't avoid.

I do!

Looking good!

They sold AM too before. It's the same people.

You won't be disappointed. Unless you run it over with a car or take a knife to it, they are nearly indestructible and also very light weight since it's made of foam rubber.

Different to some extent yes. But the comments were justified. What isn't justified is attacking the DO for doing his job. And if you are so reluctant towards the idea that you might get some parts of your costume pointed out to you as areas of improvement, then maybe Centurion is not for you. Indeed, sometimes things are brought up in EIB and Centurion threads that are not at the time part of the written CRL, but are perhaps in line to become. Or even just common sense when compared to reference photos of real armour. But these things are brought up to to the applicant so that he or she can improve, beyond what's written down. Because the CRL is supposed to be easy to read, but not all of what makes an accurate armour is possible to explain in only one or two short sentences, or require pictures to illustrate, which are not possible to add to the CRL. But if Centurion is your game, and you want to be a high achiever, then I would say that you shouldn't even need the CRL, because you should look at reference photos and deduct from those yourself what is accurate or not. Because that actually produces better results than following some kind of step-for-step guide that people tend to think of the CRL as.

It works just fine. But keep the plastic away from benzine and acetone.

Well, it's pushing the right kind of buttons for me you know.

T-shirt bought! Lovely piece of obscure nerdyness.

Isopropanol alcohol / rubbing alcohol works wonders at cleaning up "permanent" marker pens though.
