Great work recreating these parts! The folding stock is really impressive but i would level some more the offset you have between the pipe and the cube section: (Not the best picture there is, but i didn't find a better one) Keep on the excellent work, and don't forget to finish your armor too

An other thread had been started about this airsoft few days ago: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28880-sterling-sub-machine-gun-from-hobbyking/ Everything is a little off on this blaster, so i still prefer the doopy, but it's a very cool alternative.

I think you should finish to break that split you have around the ejector area, and then fill it with epoxy as i can see you have some on your workbench Other than that, that's a very neat job you've done drilling those holes!

Looking nice. Congrats trooper! I would just trim down the right/hand ear on your helmet as it seems very thick.

This one's epic!

I think i would remove that first rivet you have on the inner side, fill the holes with ABS paste, and replace it with a second one set here: However, there's no specific recommendation in the CRL of where in the bottom ridge the rivets should be located, so i guess it would pass EIB and Centurion as it is now.

What i was meaning is, i think the wings of your ammo knee belt don't extend far back enough. They should wrap around the knee completely, on both sides:

I'm not fan of the blaster enlightenment, the zenithal is nice but a bit too dark for me. However the blaster is really awesome for sure, and you completely nailed the scope/sight alignment! Very nice addition.

Pics are small but look splendid However, your ammo knee belt seems misriveted. The rivets should be set on the upper corners of it.

Sorry to hear about the yellowing... To reverse it, someone posted something about what he did with great result, might want to have a look at it: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29002-how-to-reverse-uv-damage-on-armor/

Awesome picture! Great job on the Jawa, congrats.

You're welcome

It should be present for ANH Sandtroopers/Hero/Stunt, and also ESB. I think it has been lost during the recast process on the ROTJ armors though.

Like i said above, only few armor kits have this feature. I think only RS Props and TM have it.

The bottom swoop is present on only one shoulder bell (the left). The other one has none. ----------------

Here's the swoop you're wondering about: Basically, only very accurate kits have it. The shoulder bells with the swoop at the bottom like that should be worn on the left/hand shoulder. And regarding your inquiry about the shoulder bells, i quote the CRL: During the filming, some thighs made of latex were used for mobility and stunts purpose but for joining the Legion, only handplates can be flexible.

- You are wearing your shoulder bells reversed. The one without any flare at the bottom goes on the right/hand shoulder like on the picture below: - Other than that it's looking quite good. Just not sure why only one pair of rivets appears on your left side pic... - One other thing you could do, would be to square your detonator clips right above the top screws, unglue the middle panel and reglue it right above the ends, like on the picture below:

Already ordered

The "B" belt has recesses for, i guess, the "I" caps to fit inside. Why? That's a good question. Basically, use the "A" belt with the "H" rivet caps.

The result is impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Don't be afraid to remove these back ridges if needed, on the original armors there was none. The only reason why there are some on the AP kit is because it's based on a ROTJ armor which is assembled by overlapping instead of using cover stripes.

RSprops all the way.

I would personally go for the brackets all the way but do whatever you prefer. In the end, if you'd like to make a test before deciding which way to go you can always stick with the snap plates and change for brackets later on.

It certainly won't go against anything stated in the CRL. It's just a matter of personnal taste as pretty much everything is seen on the screen-used helmets, even u-trims cut before the end of the trapezoid: -------------

I don't know if you have put webbing around your brackets like at the crotch, but if so, i would advise you to change it for elastic. When put under stress the webbing won't stretch at all, which means all the stress will be transferred to the brackets and the ABS, leading to high risks of cracks. And not having a return edge doesn't prevent you from using brackets. Have a look at the right/hand bracket on the kydney plate below for example:
