The Phantom

Hi guys, sorry I don't drop by as often as I use to, busy bulding a ESB Fett. Love the new look. As the title say it was my birthday today so my wife got me a new phone ant this Next to my MRCE ESB Helmet A bit freaky Well why not have a TK cake...we got the kids a Fett cake And an RC Boss cake with my sons helmet for size My turn for a bit of fun on my birthday I reckon

Congrats Sean all that hard work paid off....now to get to work on mine....after I finish Boba

Nice work mate...well done

Some people never learn. I just hope he was stopped before he had a chance to part someone with their money.

All here to help out mate. If you want the screws give me a bell I might have some screws left if not I know where to get them. Shins is a pretty easy fix, if you can't do it I will be having an AP later in January. Lenses I didn't notice yours at the AP the other day, I am sure that someone here has some spare welders mask to get a couple of lenses from, I might have some here will check my box of goodies. Don't get discouraged mate, we all want to help you out. I forgot my TD in my submission photos and had to wait a while till I got the correct ears for my hero helmet, and I had to fix a few little things and it took a while. Don't rush it take your time.

Nice work mate...looks great, glad you decided to go that extra few steps and go EIB. Hopefully another Redback EIB soon...good luck.

Thanks for the tips guys...will look at getting some more tube stripes and fixing it up. I have tidied up the paint line around the ears also

WOW...awesome...thanks Paul. Thanks to everyone who helped me out on the way with tips on how to improve my TK, free stuff, bought stuff and all the encourgement... Wooo Hoooo

Hey Sean...thanks mate..I hope so....I have been dragging it out for far too long...couple of little extras might even aim for centurion

Just stumbled onto this...WOW...amazing work...thanks everyone

Thanks Jenny...Good luck with your EIB...listen to all the experts

Thanks Paul

OK all done hopefully...better late than never Below are the list of changes requested as per the earlier posts: - Thermal detonater - Fix my shoulders - Pics of the drop boxes - 3 Bar ears - Better helmet decals Thermal det Shoulders, added some elastic to the inside to pull them a bit closer and moved the connection under the straps Drop boxes, has some left over HIPS when I made the kids costumes and tried to make the inner drop boxes. Helmet 3 bar ears and new decals I hope this meets all the requirements now...would love to have EIB going into a couple of big troops soon. If not please let me know where I can fix things. Cheers Steve

Thanks for the tips guys. I probably should have mentioned that the armour is HIPS.

Hi all. I am in need of a bit of help. My shoulder straps need to be removed and replaced they are glued to the chest piece with super glue (I think it is the same as CA glue?) Would it be best to try and remove as much of the strap from the chest piece then try and get a sharp blade between the strap and the chest and slowy and gently cut the glue? Any and all tips would be appreciated. Cheers Steve

Thanks guys...just been a while since I have been around...love the new look too BTW

Having probs going through to double check EIB requirements. Links goto a website Joomla asking for username/password etc and saying site is under development. Also went through the EIB Requirments - ANH page and get 404 error for the requirements link http://www.whitearmor.net/home/requirements/anh.html Just wanted to double check to see if I needed to update anything on my EIB

Well its about time I got stuck back in. Have had a change of jobs...less pay and I have everything ready to go. Been busy with building a RC and Boba Fett for my two sons now I can concentrate on finishing off my TK and get that elusive EIB Just need to attach the ears and fix the decals. Have a troop on the weekend will try and get some pics sorted. I guess I better re read the EIB requirments just incase things have changed.

Ok...well I have got my new 3 bump ears of John Danter, thanks John they arrived today they look fantastic. I have got my hands on some decals that one of our talented people in our Garrison did up for me. We have a big troop in a week so I will try and get things sorted for that depending on work and real life So in at least two-three weeks I should have the helmet done with the new ears and decals, inner drop boxes, fix the shoulders so they are closer to my chest, and a photo showing my thermal det...still embarassed I forgot to put that on can't blame my wife for that one I think that that about covers everything that you guys said that I need to fix to get EIB if I have missed anything please let me know. Cheers Steve

Coming down under later this year March I think...our CO has been onto his manager and looks like we have got a gig...well two actually We have to go through the selection process...names in a bucket then drawn out. Looks like an awesome time though

Man that is beautiful...I want one

Man they look fantastic

I have got the inner drop boxes sorted, just got to get pics for you. Just got to get paid before I can order the 3 bump ears off a guy here on the forums, I have all his details they are a good price but still need to get some cash first. Mason that is great thank you for that...I will hunt around stores to find some printable decal paper. As I said to Dennis I have a guy in the garrison looking at decals for me I might pass this onto him if thats ok? Thanks again Mason.

Thanks again Dennis really do appreciate all the tips I am getting from the experts. I have a guy here in our garrison who does decals and he is looking at making some decals for the helmet for me the initial lot look good in the pics. Will see how he goes. I might still get the Hero decals from TK-4510 as a backup. I don't think I can change the mesh in the mic tips though But nit picking is fine

Replaced the hovis with the ones I got from Smitty.
