That's where I have my butt cut. The cod cut up front isn't required for EIB, and I've seen mixed opinions on whether or not it's worth it in terms of going #1. Personally, I didn't do it. I'm just careful about managing my fluid intake, especially during long troops.

Thank you for your service, sir. Here's to the next 3,000 posts.

Great job!

A lot of new troopers nowadays are opting for the FX-lite kit with the MRCE bucket. An MRCE is more accurate than the FX, costs less than an AP, they are readily available, and Legion-accepted.

Those look far better than the grey bubble lenses in your avatar. Excellent job.

Congratulations!

You do it by indentifying, controlling and/or destroying the planet's "centers of gravity." Political/military leadership, economic/industrial centers, vital communications links, key goverment facilities, etc. Apply your forces where they will have maximum effect at minimum cost. Think of the "shatterpoint" technique in Star Wars lore. Attack the right points, and the whole thing collapses, whether it's a person, machine, or an entire society.

Congratulations! Let's keep the EIBs coming!

Are you looking for screen-accurate or non-screen accurate? There's at least one tutorial here on how to make stylized white TK binders, and I recall seeing a seller on eBay some time ago. Either way, here's a link:---------

You'll want to raise the belt a bit and change out the straps holding the drop boxes from black to white. Other than that, great job, especially with the thighs.

Congratulations! Let's keep the Elite apps coming!

Your best bet is to start reading through the Elite requirements and submission threads and making the Elite-required mods. They are mostly small changes that collectively make a world of difference. From there, if you want to take it further you can do things like trimming the chest piece & adding a return edge, adding a return edge to the shoulder bells, tapering the thighs, swapping out for AP or RT-Mod parts, etc.

Congratulations, and outstanding choice!

A bunch of us have done it, myself included. It works great in conjunction with the chest plate mod. http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=3938

I got my hobby iron from Amazon.com, just do a search for "sealing iron" and a few should pop up. And congratulations on making Elite right away, your kit looks great!

An outstanding group all around, congrats to all and to the FISD! Here's to the future being in good hands.

Congratulations, and welcome to being official!

Great job filling the teeth and repainting the frown!

Congratulations, and welcome to officialdom!

Looks pretty good. Minor tweaks as noted above, but it looks like you've got Elite covered.

Congratulations, and excellent job.

What's up with the covered faces?

I completely agree with Billy. I've bought a number of items from TrikToys in the past, most recently ABS cement. Not the cheapest, but his business practices are sound.

Ditto on Scott's comments. For Stunt you need flat green lenses. Alternatively, you could fill in the outer teeth and go for the Hero look. Do you have any full-body photos with you wearing the armor? I believe the closed side gap needs to be shown, along with the split butt as it actually looks on you. Taking full-body photos from the front, back, left, and right worked well for me. An cool action photo against a neutral background (a green screen works best) would be the icing on the cake. Also, a photo of the E11 from the front would be good, as it appears you are missing a T-track on the lower left side of the barrel. Question for Scott: Do the aerators that come with the AP kit Elite-qualified?
