Clamps

Those TKProducts one look sweet, but the shipping costs make it a bit steep to bring up over the border. Duct Tape, here I come.

nice work Glen, another WEAPON for your arsenal!

I emailed them on March 6th asking for B grade size 11, they replied back saying they had stock of size 11 (non-B grade) within a day. PP sent this morning. Never hurts to ask for your size. if they are slow to reply, try again perhaps.

If you can see in my photos the location of the slot under the original cap...start there and go under and around. Most of mine was glued at the top.

You'll have to grind down the inner ring of the tape toll a bit to get it to fit in nicely but it will look good in the end.

Inner plastic ring of a Scotch Tape roll. Example from y build below: I then took the lens of a mi magnifying glass and dremel to fit.

Best of luck with your application. I hope that you can work through any of the suggestions noted above. An observation through reading the CRL this morning, I came across this, which may put a snag in the approval as well: The Minimag PLT missile launcher is required for Centurion Status. Missle launcher shall closely match the video game reference (Battlefront series), including scope on the left side, stock, and pistol grip.

that is HOT! Well done on the mods. Good luck with your approval!

What ^^^ she ^^^ said. That is all.

It is about 5ft tip to tail. Putting primer on the barrel section today. Tomorrow I will blast some silver across the whole thing. Weather it early in be week and seal it (hopefully) before Toronto Comicon next weekend.

I have considered it

My bad then, I assumed folks bought them unpainted for the purpose of getting a white that more closely matched the armour. So do people buy the unpatinted more for weathering control or saving a couple dollars?

<I'm one step behind the Master Locitus all night long>

I have Karin's White Rubber guards, very happy with them. If you are worried about matching whites, then get the unpainted ones and paint yourself to match the white of your kit (if that is the concern).

My AP kit came with mic tips that were not up to EiB/Centurion standards, so I picked up a set from Trooperbay, but I don;t see them listed on his site at this time. Here is the TK Stunt green lens I was referring to: http://trooperbay.com/dark-green-lens-material/

I have the belt from Trooperbay and I got my Humbrol paints form him as well. Good stuff. I cannot comment on his gloves or hand guards as I did not buy mine from him. Additional purchased that are great: good mic Tips (the good ones), hard lens, Helmet Decals (hand paint emulated and ESB ). I a sure here were a few other things, but I cannot recall right now. Very happy with service and response time and product quality.

Here is the current state of the kit: Here are a few photos of my Rifle build. construction is complete, now I need to paint and weather it:

Sweet. Popping my corn now!

I still have not even tried to troop with PTT. I really need to have a go with it. I have been using VOX, most of the time without the iComm, as I have been too lazy to hook up on troops.

Ray, the iComm is the Static Burst generator. The Amp that many use with it is the Aker amps. I love my Aker, it has a Mic input and a Line input for MP3 audio (if desired).

I used a 5 minute two-part epoxy for plastics for both my Hasbro mod and my Full Doopy kit.

Bleh

I agree with Mark, hard to see the details with the slideshow/small-ish photos. Since these are older photos and you mention you have learned to wear it to fit/look better I think you should consider re-shoot the photos to look your current best (but not up to me to mandate it of course just a suggestion). It does look as though you have hit most the the required elements in the initial build...For sure you will need to show details of the E11 Hasbro modifications required for EiB -> D-Ring and the removal of the lower extra T-track and drilling of new vent holes. Good luck with your submission Nic.
