[Calling all average sized troopers!]

I'm 5' 10" 160 lbs. myself and even then my AP armor is a tight fit. But you will look good though.

[Should I trim the top of the thigh armor?]

here's how I did the notch on mine:

 

[AM ESB Build in Long Beach]

Awesome another ESB trooper in SoCal! Looking forward to your next update.

[No clue what I'm doing]

Welcome! Trust us, it isn't that hard. If anything it becomes quite addicting. Just read, read, and read some more and you'll be fine. Once you get going after those first cuts you'll be fine. And I'm sure you'll find some awesome members your local garrison to help you out. Looking forward to see your build on the forums in the future.

[How long did your AP armor take to arrive?]

I ordered in November and got it around February. In this lifestyle that's actually not that bad. I'm trying to get a snowtrooper and I'm hearing of waiting times of up to a year.

[TK-8616Requesting ESB EIB status [217][AP]]

Thank you very much. I am glad to be amongst the best. Now only 83 more to 300!

[Want to see in person a ESB MKII helmet?]

Wow O_O. I don't know how I could keep my paws off.

[TK-8616Requesting ESB EIB status [217][AP]]

Hahahaha oops. Sorry about that.

Armor= AP

Helmet= AP

Height = 5' 10"

Canvas belt = TKittell

I humbly submit my request for EIB. I've been kind of lagging it but finally got around to taking pictures. I hope I have met the standards and look forward to make any necessary adjustments. I also took a pic of both the left and right side gaps since to prove they're under 0.5". Although for my left side no matter how tight I make the straps I just can't get it to close completely. any suggestions?

Don't forget to order rare earth magnets for those places where the clamps can't reach, (ex. thighs) 2 tubes of E6000, sand paper, 1" nylon webbing since elastic can stretch too much IMO. Paint for the ab buttons and the details on the helmet, a neck seal. I'm sure I've missed something...sigh.

Awesomeness! Congrats Ingrid! She most certainly is a trooper's trooper.

[Hello from SoCal]

Welcome!

 

Indeed, the armor and you indeed do become "one" as you discover and get to know the little knicks and knacks that make it fit just right for your body.

Nice entry over at today's shirt.woot.com

 

[Happy Festivus!]

No tinsel though, too distracting...

thnak you!

[I think I'm done...]

Thanks for the feedback. I just got an email from the garrison approving my TK! Now I just want to make sure I get it right enough to hopefully get EIB?. Yea the biceps were the first pieces I worked on when I got my kit. But maybe it's something I can fill in with some work but if it's a big issue I guess I'll have to resize. Ugh that'll be a PITA.

[I think I'm done...]

So after a long summer and even a preliminary run through San Diego Comic Con, I think I'm finally done with my ESB TK. I sent in my 501st application and waiting for approval. In the meantime I was hoping if you guys noticed anything that I need to fix or adjust. Thanks.

 

[Hey there!]

Hey hows the world treating you guys and gals?

 

Just joined the forums and reading as much as I can before I take the plunge and get my hands on some armor. In the meantime I figured I'd say hi. Hopefully I can get started after the summer since the san fernando valley is way too hot to walk around in armor. cya guys around.
