So no velcro in the back? Keep it the same as ANH? (Confirming for a friend!)

Great looking armor! Not trying to nitpick and it may just be the lighting but looks like there may be a little over lap of the back armor over the kidney plate. The two should align up together. Just my two cents
Good luck trooper, see you in the ranks!thanks, snaps!
Yeah, it probably the lighting, because my big worry was the two separating too much, so I even had to redo the snap attachments underneath to tighten it up at one point. If it is overlap, it's entirely possible my mind told my body to lean back more to avoid that!!
If it affects the app, I'm sure I can take a better picture.

Hey Daniel Sly and myself are reviewing your application, we'll be with you shortly. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks so much! I've got plenty to work on in the meantime, so no rush.

Congratulations! Someone else got the 501 it seems.
I understand now - I had EIB previously, so I'm not a new number.
Hence "approved". But that's fine by me! Good luck, troopers - onto the next forum! -
Howdy, commanders. This is my second suit of TK-ANH-Stunt armor and my first application for Centurion. My AM1.0 suit is four years old and about to be stationed on Tatooine. I've also lost a bit of weight since the first build and gained much knowledge, so my attempt was to build to Centurion right out of the gate.

THANKS!!! As cool as 500 is, I'm even more stoked to be #501.
. I'll take some pictures of interior strapping for posterity and get that Centurion application up this weekend!Thanks to everyone for their help along the way, both known and unknown. I've been on these forums for 5 years and would not have been able to do this without all of your knowledge and assistance!
Troop on!

Thanks Tim! I can submit a better photo- the tops align with the top of the ridge, and end at the "squared off" section on the back of the thigh.

Brian - you did not mention to make any cuts in the forearms/bracers and I was wondering if holes were cut there (with a fabric backing)? In particular, I'm talking about the black stripe towards the elbow-bend behind the "tracks". It looks like it could be a cut-out.
Additionally, on some of the cardboard cutout details of the forearm boxes (where we're looking at the duct tape), it looks like the square detail is also cut out. What say you, sir?
Thanks for all your help on these details, Brian!
-
For accuracy, cut the pill holes in the chest, the ankle hole in the calves/shins, the pill holes in the biceps. Everything else gets decals.
Thanks. On a similar note, you noted for accuracy to also cut the chest vent. How far along the detail is supposed to be cut out of the chest vent? Just along the bottom, or all the way up the "U" in the vent?
-
Can anyone give any tips about if they are cutting out the pill holes in the chest, biceps, and shin? Or are you sticking with the decals?
And if you are cutting, what is your method?

This is where the Belt Sander shines. The length of the sanding belt gets the seamless joint edge nice and straight, minimizing the gap that needs to be filled. Come to think of it, I used the belt sander to sand down all the pieces to the cut lines. You get a lot of control when you can grip the piece your sanding with both hands. And just cleaned up the edges by hand with 120 and 220 grit sand paper. Huge time saver. The kit came with a template for the shims (see pic). I used Zap-a-Gap again. This joint has to be permanent, so E-6000 won’t do.
I'm having trouble locating the file for the shims you mentioned here. Could you direct me where to find this particular file? (Feel free to PM me if it is in a pdf that cannot be posted publicly.)

Jesus. You make it look easy.
Seriously fantastic documentation. This is a super help for those of us nervous to start gluing.

Perfecto. Sounds good to me and I'll be putting it up for EIB the moment I get it done. Thanks for the input, all. Didn't want to waste the EI judge's time but happy to get folks to look at it.

Question about the thigh box attachment.
Adding the wrap around my thigh is showing a lot of excess at the knee. I was wondering how much (if any) could be removed from the thigh box attachment to allow for a better fit?
If I align on the inside (which I want to do)...
... it gives a fairly centered look for the boxes (especially when tightened- this photo is loose, as I couldn't hold it in 3 places and take the picture)...
But on the outside I have faaaaar too much hanging off.
Would I be able to trim some of the single edge back? Or both? So that the two ends give a better fit around the thigh? (I also assume screen accuracy doesn't require it being centered, so if that goes, so be it.)
Vital stats: NE/AM2.0 kit, Centurion-level build.
Thanks for the help!

I would say with a diffrent ID tag it would be considered a new costume.. as there is also a seprate CRL for them.
Agreed - hence my curiosity. It's the same ID tag. Same costume build, but new armor.

I have an EIB award with my current costume (AM) and have worn that for almost 4 years now. I'm currently working on building a new kit (the NE) to Centurion standards. However, both costumes follow the same CRL (ANH-Stunt).
(The plan is to convert the older costume to a TD later on.)
So my question: I have an award for EIB ANH-Stunt, but since this is a new costume, would I have to re-apply for ANH-stunt EIB, so that I can apply for Centurion? Or is it considered a full upgrade? (Theseus' Ship kind-of-a-thing? As each piece gets upgraded, is it considered the same costume, or a new one entirely?)
Either way is fine with me - I'm confident in my build. I just don't want to jump the gun.

Where are all ordering this armor from? I must be blind and I am not seeing it on the forums.

It's currently unavailable to the general public. Armor kits were sold to us as a marketing kit to determine any issues or problems before it is made available.
*bump* for my post above. Did anyone have any problem slimming down some of the armor pieces (legs, forearms, biceps)?
