+1. Noticed as well. Coming off the drop ship. I was think about the poor guy that already dead before the camera even has a chance to pan over to follow the action. Buckets off for our fallen comrade.

Thank you for these files!

AMAZING! I am without words other than that! Just wow!

As someone who has worked as cam op on pawnstars, it's definitely scripted. Well not line reading scripted. But, a story producer helps write the plot with definite beats to hit. Then in production we make sure we get the story beats we need. Also, if it's similar to pawnstars, which I would suspect it is because the format is essentially the same, sometimes the sales aren't real. It real depends. It's cast though. So sometimes people just want to come in and pretend to sell something that makes a cool main story. It follows a format of one main story that can span the length of the episode and two side stories to break the main story up. Still a fun show and I watch it regularly.

Having the shins open in the back is canon... Just sayin' If you want, you could do a strip assembly in the front, which might give you some extra room Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The AP sniper plate is a beast to align properly. It took me a lot of sanding/fitting to get close. Then I had a few passes with the heatgun and very carefully bending to get it as good as AP armor will allow. Just try to make the lines of the sniper plate match and be flush with the lines of the shin ridge. Visually it should flow together. Work very slowly... Sand a little, test fit, sand a little more, test fit, etc... with the heat gun, very slow and steady. Otherwise, great build!

Ah... That's why you're the DO. Congrats on the Centurion, Nick!

Did I just miss it, but I'm not seeing two snaps in the butt plate connecting the crotch. But, let me just add... man, the inside of your bucket looks AWESOME! I really want to copy that for my bucket... mine doesn't look nearly as good on the inside.

I just sewed the elastic loop and put them over the straps. Holds there just fine.

Everything looks good to me, the biggest thing I would say is that there needs to be shim on the right side of the ab/kidney plate. I also worry about armor pinch for you in the back of the knees? I know I had to put notches there just so I could walk. :-p I think you did an excellent job on your paint job of your helmet, BTW.

Thank you for your speed. Already hung over my workbench

David S. White 8453 Centurion Letter Thank you!

Thank you all! I really appreciate it. I feel very proud to be a member of the 501st and THRILLED to be represent such a wonderful organization as a Centurion! I think I'm going to try to pay it forward and apply to be an attache for my garrison. Now I just need to find a red clown nose that fits my TK bucket The strapping is adjusted, it's all velcro system on the arms, so I just have to remember to put it back in the right marks if it ever gets unvelcroed. Again, thank you all so much! I hope I get a change to troop with all of you one day!

Sorry I look so tired. I didn't bother putting on the whole suit.... just enough to show the biceps hanging down more.

It's my serious face, hehe. I usually carry it with me everywhere and randomly put it on. Gets some great looks while driving in traffic!
