Ultimately it will be your GML who looks over your application so I would contact him/her in regards to a decision on those particular boots before going any further with them.

Is this glue acceptable?
gmrhodes13 replied to Shinyarmour1's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I'm in Australia and we can only get very small tubes here locally, I tend to purchase all of mine tubes (110mm) in lots of 5 or 10 on ebay, works out a lot cheaper. -
I did see those but they are only part images

Softening Holster Leather
gmrhodes13 replied to TK-42134's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
With leather shoes I've stuffed with soaked wet newspaper, it did soften and allow some give, may work. -
This has been the norm since I became a GML, you need at least to see full head to toe images or it can be based of a figure, like was seen with the black with red stripe first order Stormtrooper. As Paul has stated this may change with new command but it may not. Congratulation on finishing it, hope to see some images soon.

Digz Graavz First Build - ANH Stunt from AP
gmrhodes13 replied to Digz Graavz's topic in ANH Build Threads
White inside CORRECT, just give the rim a paint white and you are done. With the ears the angle mentioned is the "ideal look" but at this stage not an actual requirement, make sure you check how the ears will sit against the helmet if you where to move them, in some instances you can end up with a bigger gap, or may need some more trimming. Also check they still cover the base of the helmet so there doesn't end up being a gap where the S trim sits on. Here's one that isn't quite the at the "ideal look" -

Actually they are white inside on the Stunt version, if you look closely inside you can make out the white. After recent conisations with ANH CRL it's been discussed in length and may become part of the CRL's at a later stage. But for basic you can just paint the rim white and before painting they are white -
Just a tip, if you use some coarse sandpaper on the backs of the cover strips and front of armor it will help the glue to adhere. I scuff my sheets before cutting in to strips, can easily tell which side is which then

You need to use the "direct link" option when posting into a thread, or you can right click on an image, select copy and then paste into the post.

Personally I would, they are quite sharp, but you can trim down the bottom sections of the shins to match (not stepped) you should then have enough strip left to just nick the corners off You should also trial fit with boots on, does make a difference with how high or low they can sit.

Nothing better than BBB's, looking forward to the progress, don't be afraid to ask questions, there are not silly questions just silly mistakes from not asking them Good luck

Looks good to me, don't cut too much of the corners off the cover strips though

Making my Shims Passable for Centurion (WIP)

I use Novus polish myself and can highly recommend to have in your trooper accessory kit -
Stormtrooper Oddities - What have you noticed? There you are watching your favourite Star Wars movie and then you notice something odd with a particular Stormtrooper that you hadn't seen before, there are a lot of oddities seen in the movies, some are really common, here's one of the most recognisable "Mr No Stripes" Now that doesn't mean you can rush out and pull off your tube stripes and get approval for another version of Stormtrooper, CRL's are made with consistency in mind so if you only see one of a particular thing it's an oddity and won't be in the CRL's Seems the more times you watch the movies the more you notice and especially once you research a particular costume/character, so what have you noticed?, let's see the obscurest you have found so far. I'll start the ball rolling, I thought I'd seen them all but I must admit I hadn't noticed this trooper's oddity until just recently, seems to have been in a hurry to dress and forgot which shin goes on what side. Now lets see your most obscure oddity, post away.

Digz Graavz ANH Stunt - AP Pre-Approval Request
gmrhodes13 replied to Digz Graavz's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Nice work, nothing big for a hold up for basic, for improvements for higher levels: If you haven't done so yet I'd advise adding a little foam behind your shin with the sniper plate, it will help hold it away from your thigh (having some in the back of the thigh can also help) Drop boxes should align with the end of the plastic belt. Match forearm spacing, you may notice they are a little off Screw in helmet ears seem to be pulling the ears in, may be a little tight, too tight and they may even pull through Thighs are at different heights, can notice this more on the back photo I know the DO's ideally are looking for the ear screws to align with the trap Could loose the big tab on the back of your shoulder straps as they are a little long Vocoder painted section is normally flat at the top, you have a high spot in the middle, yours also appears to taper outward from top to bottom. You may also find if you can lift up your ab/cod section a little it would give you more room around the thighs and knees. I would also recommend loosing the extra material on the belt, normally they stop before the end of the TD Good luck and hope to see you approved soon -
Looking very nice

You should keep some return edge it is after all screen accurate, you will find it helps to keep the pieces sitting together, without they can overlap easily.

rebels tk expert infantry questions
gmrhodes13 replied to cuthbja's topic in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements
EIB (L2) and Centurion (L3) requirements to my knowledge have not been fully finished, but I could be wrong, you could PM @ukswrath directly for confirmation. -
Here's some of forearm references, these have 12 recesses but I've never seen a specific amount of dimples needed in the CRL's or higher levels

Correct screws here: NOTE for L3 Centurion you will need to change your ab plates: Abdomen armor buttons are integrated and painted directly on the armor. No separate buttons are allowed.
