  1. I may have a troop later today, body willing if I do kit up I'll try to remember to do a quick video
  2. Correct and although seen on some screen armor we don't allow it for approval Tape can be seen in a lot of places
  3. Appears you are missing quite a few photos, basically you use the same required for EIB, also you don't have a blaster which is a requirement for L3 Take a good look through the comments made on your EIB application, they will need to be addressed before you can move forward with your application for centurion, I will post them below so it is easier for you to reference. The paint details on the vocoder could use some definition with a few touch-ups. A filbert style brush will help with the top parts. Reference images Your biceps look even, and it may very well be the angle you are standing at but the forearms appear to be at different heights. The left bicep/forearm top gaps should be the same as the right side, which is a simple strapping issue and could be the cause. Most of the time we see too much of a gap between the back plate/shoulder bells, but yours are actually a little too close. Being as you have an excess, trimming them down is an easy fix. The one on the left actually seems to be under the back plate. (The shoulder bell tops/shoulder bridge connections are perfect, though.. no gaps)! Reference images In a perfect world, the ends of the TD clips are squared off, and the screws are mounted closer to the ends. Reference image The posterior plate is overlapping the kidney plate at the rear and needs to be repositioned. I think the strap in the center is the key here as it looks a bit loose (second photo), allowing the center to ride over. Tightening this up could very well take care of that. Reference images I know they can be a pain, but you gotta' stop kicking those mouse droids! LOL Centurion Requirements In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustments. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items to pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all that we can from what is seen, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper As you are aware, for Centurion level we go into a lot more details and look at things more closely. You have some issues below that will need to be corrected before we can get that badge under your name but we feel confident that you can do it. Although you removed the excess paint ask requested, you went a bit overboard on the right side. The paint needs to be symmetrical all the way across. You can either do the same thing on the left or raise them a tiny bit on the right, but we are hoping you will also even out the paint on the tops, as the ones on the right look a bit ragged compared to the ones on the left. Reference image As per the CRL for Level 3, the ear screws "...shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk.***..". Usually Anovos uses the correct ones on the top and center and the incorrect ones on the bottom for some strange reason,. but these all appear to be of the Pan-head style and will need to be replaced. Reference images ***Example Although not specifically mentioned in the CRLs, we can find no references that show the shoulder straps extending over the edges of the O II plate. This is a SUPER easy fix and just requires a razor knife, Lexan scissors or tin snips and 30 seconds of your time! As required for Level 3, the ABS belt must sit "...at or above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels". We suggest above, as seen in the reference images. Reference images Sadly, the rivets on your ab/kidney connection will have to be moved and the holes filled with ABS paste. As seen in the references, the bottom one is placed above the crease (yellow arrow) on the ab-plate and they are spaced out evenly from there. The top ones are close enough, so they are fine. Reference images A small amount of overlap on the canvas belt is fine, but we need you take it back 3 or for inches. Ideally the end should sit behind or just to the side of the TD. Reference images This is going to be a tough one. As stated in the CRL the sniper knee plate "..must be aligned with the ridges on the shin". We realize that some armor kits make this difficult to do because of the way they are designed and we allow for that in certain instances, but with the Anovos kit this is entirely possible with some work. (I have included 2 examples of Anovos knee plates to give you an idea of how nice they can turn out). We don't expect perfection, but they need to be a lot closer. Anovos sniper knee examples Reference images Last up is your blaster. As the requirement states, it is "Based on real or replica Sterling machine gun..." so it should have the basic components of one as seen in the films. Most are present, but there are a few items missing. 1. No bayonet lug. 2. Hengstler counter needs to be raised and brought forward a tad. 3. The charging (cocking) lever and cocking channel opening are not present. It doesn't need to be hollow in this area and a spring is not required, but it cannot be missing entirely. 4. No flash guard at the front of the muzzle.
  4. Nice work, a few tweaks you could make: Watch the rotation of the forearms to biceps, cover strips should align Butt plate is being pushed backwards a touch, I came up with some V taps to help keep it in alignment. Also right drop box is not aligned with the end of the plastic belt section. You just glue the bottom tab and leave the top free to move on the kidney You have a lot of overlap on the backplate to kidney, you may be able to adjust the strapping to solve this. You could also trim a little of your TD clips, they are showing under the belt You shins are sitting high on the boots, you may be able to bring these down a little to allow more room at the knees. Also shoulder bells could be rotated a little more to be closer to the chestplate
  5. Nice work, not all of us need to use bicep hooks, depends on how they sit on your arms, sometimes the strapping between the forearms, biceps and shoulders is enough to keep them in the right positions. FYI not all screen Stormtroopers had them too
  6. Congratulations and welcome to the EI ranks trooper
  7. I used a dab of E600 just under the sides and in the middle of the thigh ammo strip to hold it in place. I guess you could use velcro as long as it's not seen from the outside
  8. These may be of help:

  10. Block of wood behind rivet, then use a flat head screw driver, splay open the posts a little, lay side of screwdriver down on posts, hit with a hammer, post will open, then tap flat with hammer.
  11. You may want to send him a private message as he has not been on the forum since July 2019
  12. Nice work Joseph, keep up the great work
  13. I use this free online audio merger https://clideo.com/merge-audio Drill.mp3
  14. I would advise doubling over the elastic on the sides especially if you will be filling the area with a little more padding You could use something like Devcon or fiberglass resin and matting or even ABS paste to reinforce those areas, would mean removing the brackets and bolts.
  15. So sorry to hear of your troubles, hoping for a speedy recovery and good news for the future, best wishes

  19. Unfortunately I had run out of time this morning before Doctors. I had left it as there are quite a few links incorrect in that thread and the other "blaster" version thread, I've just updated them now, the old links went to a defunct page, here is the new one https://www.starwarsgamesonline.com/game/star-wars-soundboard https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34943-official-lfl-trooper-chatter-sound-effects/, restored by gmrhodes13 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34892-official-lfl-blaster-sound-effects/ , restored by gmrhodes13
  20. First post updated with correct link
  21. Great to hear you are aiming high from the start. A great thread full of info can be found here Also when in doubt check the "Gallery Sections" and also some of the Centurion applications Good luck with the research.
  22. Congrats on getting your plane license, I've had the opportunity to fly a couple of times and it's a great experience, especially the first landing Looking forward to seeing your progress, don't worry the armor won't hold it against you
  23. Happy dance continues, then the panic sets in "I've got to start cutting this". Research is the key, measure twice and cut once. Good luck with the build
  24. If you are on computer you can use Paint works well, if on mobile there are some apps available for photo resizing
