You know a higher level of accuracy has come up in conversations quite a few times in the past, along the lines of how MEPD do their level 3 program, this could be something that members could ask in the upcoming election Q&A's for detachment leaders in January/February

Just check your end plate thickness, should be a bigger gap between the end caps and control panel. Also note the placement of the screws/holes on the clips if you are aiming for higher levels

Its amazing how much you can pick up at armor workshops, hopefully it gets you moving in the right direction

Take into account what your GML will consider approvable, you definitely want to reach out to him/her/them As to higher levels it's entirely up to the @Deployment Officer Team who will hopefully chime in soon. Take note that this team may change at the end of February after legion elections and the next Deployment Officers may have a different point of view.

Normally you trim the front of the thighs to the base @ 20mm width raised ridge to raised ridge, if that can't be obtained larger cover strips are normally used to fill this area or lager coverstrips on the rear. I would definitely reach out to your GML and discuss the cover strips before going to much further, as a GML I would not approve as they are and your GML may feel the same way. From our DL As a rule of thumb, front leg cover strips are 20mm wide approximately, you usually go a bit wider on the calves for the enclosure, say 25mm. Now in saying this, if you can keep the front cover strips close to this , you can go wider on the back to try and cater for a wider girth. I know plenty of troopers who went with 30mm on the rear of the thighs because they needed a bit more. at basic i would be surprised if a GML pulled you up on something like that. Note the raised ridge in these references Here's a couple of extreme examples which added extra material on the backs of the thighs As I say speak to your GML to check what is acceptable for your garrison

Response from RS Props in regards to armor kits: We will be looking at adding kits back to our website shortly.

Hello and welcome aboard, you are welcome to post builds on both Redbacks and here if you wish too, entirely up to you.

Have a read through the instructions again, you need to start a seperate troop record then you post a link to it in this thread once you reach certain levels

You are very welcome, I checked and you had to wrong link, I've posted the correct one for you

That is your 501st forum profile not the actual member profile, here is the correct link https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=11307 A.C. will be along in due course to update your access

Depends on what batteries you will be using, generally I am using 5V power source and use 1K resistors This may be of help https://www.digikey.com.au/en/blog/atm-how-to-select-a-resistor-for-an-led

Hello and welcome aboard, looking forward to seeing a build thread soon. Here's another great thread full of information Gallery area here, full of reference material https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/24-anh-tk-reference/

I get my hi bright led's from Aliexpress, just recently I started using some flat top LED's this give a wider beam and does not have the intense center of the LED. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1917223733.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.15606f746UJUHe&algo_pvid=fca537b1-3fd1-4919-99a3-c0b67147e3d9&algo_exp_id=fca537b1-3fd1-4919-99a3-c0b67147e3d9-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!2.30!2.08!!!1.54!!%402101ea7117035392618631942eaeda!63448203855!sea!AU!178098435!&curPageLogUid=TspnV5MzKpeP For longer thinner beams I use these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001143159616.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.587579f7K1dfqw&algo_pvid=96f0ee0e-2d30-4f2d-a8f4-85e262aeb1d6&algo_exp_id=96f0ee0e-2d30-4f2d-a8f4-85e262aeb1d6-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!1.32!1.19!!!0.88!!%402101c59517035394621321559eb076!10000014882839212!sea!AU!178098435!&curPageLogUid=bElac9hGjElf

Very nice, one thing to be aware of with the ROTK white pauldron is they are a little different to most others, the section around he neck and closure is actually white, weird but here's a reference. Albeit this has not been updated in the ROTK CRL Thread here about new era pauldrons

Great to hear, hope you have some good news soon. Once issued with your TKID you can request TK / 501st access here Good luck

Perhaps add any questions here as all of the feedback is here Looking forward to seeing your centurion app once you get back to it.

You are still welcome to ask questions here even if you will be a dirty boy

I already reached out to a couple of the designers (that's one of them) but there's a big difference of 3D rendering images compared with 3D printing and he's not interested in trying to convert

Some armor can be a little harder than others to assemble, brute force can help, masking tape, clamps, magnets can help.keep sections in place when drying. Some use a hot water bath to help pieces conform a little better, much easier to manage than using a heat gun. As for closing its either elastic and bra hooks (original), Velcro which most use, or even magnets. I'll add some links when I'm next on computer

You know I did go looking but unfortunately all I found was 3D renders not suitable for printing, but by all means if there's someone out there clever enough and willing to give it a go I'd be happy to print one

There have been a few but none since #415 in 2018
