  1. Thanks for the feedback, the good thing here is that I made the notch by utilising a 22mm shim! This created a notch without cutting and gave myself some extra room. Plus it also means the abs paste seam worked out good :)

    We'll talk about the ABS paste. I have to make my shims (yes, multiple, I am not screen accurate svelt)

    Looks great brother!

  2. Awesome. Now that the excitement of FanExpo has passed, there may be some opportunities for armour parties coming soon. I need to tune up my armour to finish off the tweaks to get my EIB then Centurion approvals. Work has me traveling shortly but I will let you both know if any armour parties are spoken of any time soon! For now, keep researching and prepping here.

  3. I did not specify that I was building to Centurion either (not sure if Rob even offers to do things differently) but think I will have no issue. Once I got my kit I found out about Centurion and build it butt and cover (I followed Darth Aloha's thread and saw how he cried when he realised he couldn't get Centurion with overlap).

    I need to play with my belt, so the kidney corner notches and fix up the shims I had to add in my (fat guy) sides. Other than that I should be clear for Centurion!

    Oh yeah, and pull stickers and paint my bucket.

  4. I screwed mine up originally. I assembled with opening towards outside. I just ripped the cover strip off (didn't know about the freezer trick) and had no problem.

    Had you glued your sniper? I saw you were prepping. If you sanded for the sniper to glue that could be a pain :(.

    There is a left and right once you get the inners with the outers. The inners have more of a calf bulge, the outers more straight. Hopefully you'll see what I mean.

    I can take pics of mine if you need. I am RTMod as well.

    Not Centurion but very close! I need to build a blaster for EIB. I know my armour is already EIB without question.

    Sadly I didn't do a build thread :(.

  5. That looks like you have connected two inners and two outers. RTMod is built for overlap. The notches at the tips are for overlap. Look at the bulge for your calf muscle. Also, don't forget to have the overlap at the back for your join (Velcro or whatever) so that it's opening faces inward so it cannot easily be seen by anyone looking.

  6. Yea....it was interesting to see what a 'bad' troop was and that sure was one of them. Oh well Charlie met his heroes, and he still has that lego blaster to!

    The best part is, there are no bad troops, only reasons to get armoured up and when it's all done, enjoy dinner and or maybe a few beverages with an awesome group of people!

  7. Thanks Tim! This is invaluable. I HAD a lot of great help from my Garrison as I had (almost to the point of annoying) volunteered with them as much as I could before getting in, which allowed me to get to know them and receive guidance. All of that being said, I didn't want to pester them with every little detail. This will be a big help to all of those future TKs!

  8. A bunch of the Canadian Garrison members were out for an after-troop-dinner. I wasn't even there... Somebody was creeping my Facebook page, pulled up my profile pic, showed the picture (seen here) across the table and a bunch of people all chimed in, in unison, NARC.

    THE REST IS HISTORY!

    And as Pickles mentioned, I am also commonly seen with Mrs Narc and the Narclings!

    For the record... I am NOT a member of law enforcement... :)

  9. For mine, I clamped the front of the plate tight to the front of the shin, that reduces the gap, then focus on getting the sides lined up with the ridge/lip. Once I checked it on the dry run, sanded and prepped for glue, repeated the same process, glue and clamp front, once it sets, glue and clamp the sides.

    Mind you... Mine shin is bigger than yours... May not work the same way on yours...
