  1. Ahh, that is what that means. There was some confusion on my part. I thought it meant flush with the top and bottom of the kidney and abb plates. Well I won't be around my armor again until mid September. :-( Once I am back I'll make the modifications and get back with you. And was hoping to have EIB spot #600 too. Would have too if it wasn't for those shims. Ugh! Ha-ha.
  2. Just noticed in my original post I forgot to add a picture of the black screws on the thermal detonator. I have now added that photo to the original post.

  4. Well, after many months of hard work... I am finally official. I received approval for my ESB TK this afternoon!!!! Now I just need to take my pics and post them up here for my EIB application phase. I constructed it to EIB standards right off the bat, so I would not have to deal with it later. Can't wait for my first official troop in it on Saturday!!!
  5. I did the 4oz, Regular White. Here is the link for the paint I got. Directly from Angelus. Probably cheaper from Angelus Direct, rather than Amazon. $5.99+$5.05 shipping. $11 amazon vs like $5 from Angelus. http://angelusdirect.com/collections/paint/products/white-paint
  6. I got the black ones and I had to do like 5 coats. Although... I was using an air brush, so each coat was lighter than if it were brushed. Also one bottle of the white is good for probably two sets of boots.
  7. I just bought mine last night. They had free shipping on orders over $50. Right now they have 20% off regular priced items and free shipping, but the boots are on sale. You can still get the free shipping though.
  8. I have a feeling I will be doing this to my bucket whenever I get it. Very nice work!!!
  9. Personally speaking, concerning real life, it depends on the troop. During Mardi Gras here in Louisiana I like the clean, nice and shiny look. With all the marching we do with Lord Vader it looks really cool. When we are on troops where we are up close and personal, intermingling with people, I think it is a bit cooler to have the worn scuffy look. It adds to the costume, for showing off "damage from battle". As far as if the empire were real, I think it would depend on where the trooper was. I mean if they were on the Death star or a "clean" environment, then yes the look of the suit would be expected more prim and proper. I think if the trooper was some place like say, Tatooine or Kashyyyk then of course the suits would be more on the beat up side. Concerning what the empire would have as far as acceptable, I think they would take were a trooper was stationed into account. If they were an escort for a superior Lord or even the emperor himself, of course they would want to have the clean suits. But I also think that the empire would know that all troops can't have perfect armor, all the time. (Don't tell Lord Vadar I said that.)
