TK-42779

Ohhhh I see what you are saying (hell this stuff is hard to think of when I haven't even seen a kit in person!! lol) if you add the two shim pieces then there will be a middle seam, front seam and back seam..... *sigh*

Well so far we have seen: 1) Riveting one solid piece to the font and back piece. (not acceptable) 2) One solid piece riveted to the back piece extending to the front. (not acceptable) 3) Two shim pieces of equal size, one attached to the front and one attached to the back. The shim pieces being wide enough to meet in the middle creating one seam line. (acceptable?)

Nice!! Fantastic piece, isn't it???

lol I honestly had no clue you approved that. I wasn't trying to say, "Look at this mess that you passed!" I promise. I see what you're saying though, making the two pieces meet in the middle with little to no gap by adding extra to each piece. Got it!

So is Mark's shim method Centurion quality? http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/18228-tk-4584-requesting-anh-stunt-eib-status198am/

Then my long day at work is clouding my head. lol What were you referring to as nobody has done before with an RT build? I'd like to start researching what will need to do.

Ah okay so somewhere out there in someones build thread is a proper Centurion level shim job of the side of the armor....?

Okay so my RT will be coming in December and I am/was REALLY determined to be the first Centurion in my Garrison but this makes me a little concerned now. Has ANYONE done a proper job of this new standard yet?

I don't mind the drive I just wish I was trooping in armor instead of a jumpsuit. haha

Thanks! I am almost certain that I have done everything that I need to do now that I have my Legion ID. Signed up on the 501st forums, had my access granted....put my ID on my profile...

Thanks for everything, Tom. You were more than welcoming when I first started here.

Fantastic!! I can't wait to see how all of this turns out.

I personally can't see any reason not to go Centurion right off the bat. When I ordered my RT I went over then standards with Rob and he said the kit was EIB standards already so really it comes down to a few details to bring it up to Centurion. I figured I bam going to be assembling it already why not add the work to make it level 3?? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Are you going for acceptance, EIB or Centurion? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Right on, man! I ordered mine at the end of August and he told me beginning of December. We will see! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

You're reading the first official post of Trooper 42779!! I just received my Legion ID about 2 minutes ago! Yes I know I am not a TK yet, I put together a Mechanical Crewman costume because it was the cheapest and quickest way to get a 5 digit combo of my choice that meant something (birthday). I can't wait to get my RT and put a TK in front of those numbers. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

<br /><br />Nothing more to say that I didn't already say in my PM to you. It is what it is and you're right, I don't know you and I can't hold it against you that your style in helping is different than what I'd prefer. *shrug* I don't take digs and sorry if you felt slighted, I call them like I see them and you came across how you did...again...as someone who doesn't know you would perceive it. Good thing I'm not 12, it could have been taken personally. Like a wise man once said, "Move along". Right

Sweet! When did you order it? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I myself was concerned with this. I have an RT kit coming and I am not Luke Skywalker size by no means. Lol Does anyone have a link to a thread or a picture showing a Centurion level side shimming? Thanks! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Shhhh! You're making me anxious for my RT. Lol I ordered at the end if August and I am looking at beginning of December form my kit. Lime a couple others said, it was nice to have time to get other sources together. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

This is the guidance I was provided:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I assume that since the MBO and the DL give the go ahead that things are fine, because as you both have said and I have agreed rules are indeed rules. I am done with this marry go round of finger pointing. I was surprised at the lack of redirection given at the time of pointing out the faults. Now you have the why of this whole thing. <br /><br />Bobojuice I appreciate the communication on enforcing the guidelines and rules that you have given to this project. Since the shirt doesn't have a price or an actual offer for ordering yet I don't believe there is anything wrong with the post staying up to generate demand, am I wrong
