[Greeting From Arkansas!]

Welcome!

[TK 23776 requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status [TM*] [100]]

Nice work! #100!!

[Fans set up!]

I used industrial velcro with a single fan without issue for a time. Maybe try a heavier duty velcro? Is it maybe a heavier or larger fan that you're using?

 

I'm using the Echo fan system now in my AP and it is simply amazing.

Great work guys!

[Hello from South Carolina!]

Greetings Kenny! Welcome to FISD

[Hello from Bakersfield]

Hey I've seen that guy before! Welcome Erick!

[My Scootch Arrived Today!]

Congrats!

[Hello From NYC]

Welcome!

 

FISD is a fabulous resource to pour through. Keep an eye out for a local armor party in your area and make some friends! It's a great help to see the suits in person and being worked on.

 

All the best on your build.

 

[Hello from SW Pa.]

Welcome!

[RS TK Stunt Armor Finally Arrived!]

Congrats! You will get used to it more for sure. Might need to trim up some bits to help with armor bites.

 

RS is great stuff. Wear it proudly!

[greetings from Oceanside]

Welcome Lance! There are usually armor parties going on all around you with the SD Squad if you haven't already made some friends.

[chest to back floating shoulder bridge positioning? [ATA]]

I heat bent my straps before the actual gluing to the front. I worked up what looked right with the straps taped on and made sure everything looked right and then glued and clamped.

 

If you can get another trooper to help you eyeball the placement (armor party!!!!) then would definitely make the decision easier too.

[Trooperbay has boots?]

I just saw this as well. Would love to know if they'll pass for Centurion. I need to replace my CA boots...

[Doopydoos won't deliver to the US. :(]

I love my Hyperfim. There should be posts for them in the For Sale area.

My favorite part: This kit takes 6 to 8 hours to assemble, depending on your experience

:laugh1:

 

 

Boo on Ebay...

[TK-6682 requesting ANH Stunt EIB status [RS] [337]]

If it means Bender can submit for Centurion and he's approved in 10 minutes, then I'm sure he won't mind the back and forth.

 

 

Looking good Doc!

[Yet one more introduction]

[AP armor for 6'3" recruit]

I am AP and 5'11".. I second the vote of RT or NE. I know a couple 6'3-6'4" guys with RT that look great. I have only seen NE mid build but certain

pieces to look larger and more accommodating.

 

All the best on your build.

[Brand new from Beaumont, CA]

Welcome!

Welcome Ed! You have definitely found the right place.

[TK-6682 requesting ANH Stunt EIB status [RS] [337]]

Look at that big bunch of sexy! Congrats man!!!!!

[Should I Build a TK or a TD Sandtrooper?]

I call the TK the gateway drug anyway. Most everyone wants that first, then they start trooping, then they experience more and branch out to other suits...

 

I would definitely weigh your favorite scenes from SW and ask yourself whether TK's or TD's were involved. You'll be living those scenes and lines quite a bit once you are wearing the suit! I think TK is the safe way to go since you can always dirty it up and add the TD bits later (I feel like I've seen more people evolve that way with the two suits as well)... Besides style and build aspects, also consider troop aspects. Carrying the extra TD gear, seeing events in your area where certain characters are requested over others, etc. Again we're here for charity's sake, but your costuming mileage can vary greatly depending on what suit(s) you get out there in.

 

The one thing I DO like about TD's is the BFG. I rarely leave home without my DLT-19 and can get away with it thanks to a few quick moments from ANH.
