Paul will be able to give you better feedback. Just an observation, but you may want to move the rivets on your thigh ammo belt out and up to the corners. I only suggest that because I had to do that on mine. I filled the holes with caulk afterwards and you cant see them unless I point them out to people. The sniper plate looks like its a little low as well. Like I said, just an observation by a friend. You did a great job fitting the suit to your body though. It fits your shape really well. The blaster is a work of art. I'm sure the more experienced people will give some better feedback. Good luck brother! I was really anxious when I submitted for EIB so I understand the constant checking for updates and reading the comments. Congrats on making the extra effort on your build and I look forward to seeing your approval shortly! Isaac

I ordered the full kit last night from their ebay.com store and they estimate delivery to be Aug 7 - Aug 11. That's delivery to Arizona from the UK. I'll post when it arrives though just to give you an idea of how long it really is.

Mathias, thank you for your hard work, and for keeping the forums secure and smooth. Nobody knows all of the work you do behind the scenes keeping us up and running. I appreciate you patching and updating things around here. I've never seen spam comments on FISD. That's all you bro. Phil, looking forward to reading your application comments and learning more and more about the white armor we all love.

Congrats Mike! Well done sir!

Good luck Mike. The updates look strong.

Those pesky Lucasfilm secret filming things getting your armor all dirty

Hey Mike, Since you are done with the metal blaster, hook me up with your old one for my Cent app my man.

I know you dont need to show the folding stock on the blaster for the award, but you should post a few just to show off how cool that thing is Mike. Great work showing off your build bro!

You got this buddy! Looking forward to seeing the new decals and your new badge! Keep it up brother. -Isaac

NE is different than his AM set. It's a little confusing, I know. I thought the NE kit was put together like his AM was and was completely wrong. Best thing to do is take a ton of pictures and we can help you get it built up. There are ridiculously skilled builders on FISD and can offer suggestions on getting just about any kit built up looking great and fitting you the right way. Good luck, Isaac

BOOM!!!!!!!!

any word yet? Its been quite awhile since you posted the updated pics...

RT-Mod makes a bigger helmet. I wear an ATA and have worn an RT-Mod as well. With padding they feel the about the same to me. My best suggestion is to talk to folks in your local Garrison and ask if they are doing an armor party anytime soon and ask to try on a few different helmets while you are there and see what you think. Both of them need some help getting them on but inside they feel about the same with respect to room inside the lid. An RT-Mod with the screen accurate foam and chin straps should fit you though. I can measure the inside of my helmets and give you an idea of how mine compare unless someone beats me to it. Good luck man, Isaac

You and Mike did a good job on the build buddy.

We just had a baby last week so I didn't go. I also avoid giant holes in the earth without guard rails to keep you from falling off into.

Andy, Did you go with the group to the Grand Canyon last weekend?

Good luck Jeff!

The solution I came up with to keep the shoulder bells from pulling the shoulder straps out from the bridges was to make a snap that is glued to the bridge and the shoulder straps snap on to it. That secured the shoulder strap under the bridges and doesnt let the shoulder bells pull it out from under them. This isnt movie accurate and Im sure there are better ways to achieve it. This is what worked for me though. good luck.

Looks great guys. Again; thank you!

Its working normal for me Mathias. Only different thing I notice is that the tutorials on the left are gone. Thanks for all the web stuff you do behind the scenes bro. Its appreciated.

You can trim the wrist down and taper as you go back to the elbow. I have made exaggerated lines to show you the taper but just taper to fit your wrist. Make it as small as you can and still get your hand through when you tuck your thumb and pinky into your hand.

Here is another pic to help you on your build for the forearms. Look at the row across the top. They are all straight at the wrist and taper back to fit the forearm.

You can always look at the top of the FISD and look at reference pics. The forearms are straight around the wrist. Now where that lies on your wrist depends on the length of your forearm. Thats why we are asking for pics. I have popeye forearms too so I know what you are going through We need to help you size the length and the width. Take a look at this photo for an idea of what I am talking about.

is it the angle of the picture or are the forearms square? In the pic with the left and right ones, the left looks square.

You can have approved Stunt and Hero... you can add ESB and ROTJ and have four different approved TK's. You will still be TK XXXXX as your ID.
