I love trooperbay. Mike you always do us right......especially in a situation like this.....giving us new ideas and options. I can't predict what I'm going to need over the next year.....If I could then I would make one big order and grab it all and pay only 9.99 But....like I said......A lot of us pick up as we build or break things...... If it goes flat rate....I'm going to have to use different sources when I need stuff for financial reasons (and I always need stuff if you look at my orders over the last year lol...I just can't predict what and when) And that would suck because you deserve the business.....I'm hoping it doesn't go flat rate for sure

I don't think it's a great idea at all........I pick up as needed parts/supplies for my builds....I'd be getting crushed by shipping charges....but that's just me

Congrats! I look forward to trooping with you!

Congrats!

OK. Here you go.....this is what I used and bought for the build of/for the body armor (I did not build/use an NE helmet) Things you need to complete build (stuff that doesn't come with kit) canvas belt holster under-suit thigh garter gloves neck seal blaster boots Paint for AB buttons Materials I used that didn't come with kit dritz heavy duty snaps black elastic (for inner snap system) white elastic (for chest-back plate connection and shin rear connection) bra hooks/eye loops (rear shin connection) Black webbing (I cut into pieces for snap plates/connection on inside of armor) These are the tools I used curved scissors (trim armor) precision knives/cutters (trim armor - cut finishing strips) sand paper (smooth out armor after trim) E6000 - (A MUST OVER ANY GLUE) - don't use the ABS paste that comes with kit Metric ruler (measure finishing strips and ammo belts cuts) painters tape (tape armor pieces together to eye up during trimming and to try on before gluing during build) earth magnets (needed for gluing armor pieces that go deep mid wise (spots a clamp won't reach) clamps (needed for gluing) soldering iron leather hole puncher Dritz snap pliers needle nose pliers

wow...I'm not familiar with the sky trooper details....but this looks amazing!

Congrats!

I just read a lot on this......thank you everyone for chiming in and helping me figure this out!

Yep. I was thinking the same thing. The work and sanding is a non issue.....I'm waiting to find out if it will be available to me.....I was just curious if it was a known kit/brand/vender etc.... The packaging looks like something that is legit.....somewhat (whatever that means lol)

Does anyone know anything about this kit?...all I have is the photo

Congrats!!

Eric, thank you for reviewing my application... and Yes....I worked hard and will continue to work hard on the follow through with the ESB to centurion (: as I will with my next TK build.... The cover strips I have are the ABS provided with the NE kits to cut the cover strips......and yes...it certain lighting in photos...I see what you mean. It looks good and correct in color to the armor in person though as you would think. Thank you for clearing me for EIB As for the centurion suggestions. They all make sense to me... 1) I'm doing the research on making my blaster at centurion level accuracy and will have changes on it for my centurion application for sure... 2) I'm confident I can find a way for those shoulder bells to come in more... 3) I will do corrections to the knee plate (slice down on the return edge and check on alignment) 4) .....and I will try your suggestions on bettering the strapping/back side alignment - bring up thighs Thank you again for clearing my EIB and for the centurion suggestions!

That all makes sense to me.... I think the idea of "pre-Centurion suggestions" during the EIB application review is great....

always love the newsletter....great photos from the Technic Museum troop!

Here are new photos. In the first time around.....I had the snap on the elastic connected to the first male snap (towards the front of butt plate closest to crotch) which aloud the crotch to stick out....I reconnected it to the back one....I believe it looks good now....I also took another snap shot of the crotch-butt connection since I took the photo after I removed the elastic the first time around..

Quick update....new photos will be posted soon. My schedule life has been ridiculous since my last post..... overwhelmed with work ...it should be slowing down this week

Awesome! Congrats!!!

I understand. Yes. I want suggestions. I appreciate the feedback and appreciate the help with this... New photos coming with in the next couple of days....

congrats!
