  1. The three piece construction of the base helmet is worrying. Its just added work and increased risk of failure. Just my opinion.
  2. Hello Alex! Welcome to FISD!
  3. I tried hooks and wanted them to work, but they just didn't. Not for me. I switched to velcro and it became a non-issue. Good luck!
  4. I love these droids! Nice work. I look forward to watching this progress.
  5. Congrats and good luck! I look forward to following your build.
  6. Armor looks great. You should have no trouble. Nice work!
  7. The EFX helmet will likely not get you approved for 501st.
  8. Yeah, I agree. Actually, I have seen several posts elsewhere from folks standing in a line for one thing or another at Celebration. It looks like a lot of fun except the waiting.
  9. Good luck. You are certainly off to a good start.
  10. Basic Information Name: Shane Aubrey Legion ID: 71969 Garrison: Bast Alpha Garrison Mandatory Information Armor Maker: Anovos Helmet Maker: Anovos Blaster Type: Hyperfirm Optional Information Height: 5'7" Weight: 170lbs. Boots Maker: TK Boots Canvas Belt: ABS80 Hand Plates: Silicone (JustJoseph63) Electronics: AKER/ICOMM Neal Seal Type: Anovos - Zip Holster Maker: Anovos EIB Application Upgrades after EIB and suggested fixes: 1. Move shoulder bells inward a bit. Bells have been adjusted inward by 15MM. 2. Clean up frown paint. Done with mineral spirits and cotton swabs. 3. Change out Mictips. Replaced Mic tips with more accurate versions. 4. Reduce space between ab and kidney while wearing armor. Made adjustments. 5. Replace hard hand guards with flexible rubber version. Replaced with silicone HGs. 6. Reduce return edge and adjust placement of ab button plates. Adjustments made. 7. Change out screws at base/opening of helmet below "ears". Thank you for your time and consideration.
  11. I got a damaged part. CS gave me a little run around, but ended up resolved. Just took some nagging. Personally, I am starting to see that my armor is not going to last a real long time with constant troop use, but if they can make parts readily available, it could work out.
  12. Congrats on finally getting your gear. You are in good company for advice on building armor. You might also start by tracking down accessories you plan to implement such as boots, helmet electronics, etc. Also, if you haven't already, reach out to your local Garrison or Squad. Good luck!
  13. Good luck everyone! I wish I could participate, but I'll just buy my hearing assist from you Ukswrath. Nice of you to do this.
  14. Good luck with your build. This place is a fantastic source for help along the way.
  15. Very nice armor! I especially like your E-11. Good luck!
  16. Have fun everyone going to Orlando. Congrats to my EIB brothers and sisters and to the Centurions. I will join you soon, I hope.
  17. I have little to no experience with proper electronics and wiring, but I have been able to put fans in my helmet rather easily. Good luck!
  18. I have both on my TK. The snaps hold but have come unsnapped once or twice, so I added velcro and it stopped happening and is more secure.
  19. Good luck with your Centurion application. Nice armor! I don't think you are allowed to have return edge on your forearms with Centurion level.
  20. Welcome! Nice work trooper!
