TK Sparky

No issues with my neck seal. You just need to make sure you have the mic pickup postioned correctly on your throat. If anything the neck seal helps keep the mic tight to your thoat and keeps in in the right spot.

I use one. But i dont use an iComm. I use it with just the Aker amp. It works great - but i had to change the plug that came with the throat mic to match the Aker jack. I dont see any issue with using it with the iComm other than i couldnt find one with a matching jack and had to splice a new one on the end of the cable.

Congrats!

Looks nice! Good luck on your EIB!

I have a set of Echo's fans (which are great). And some padding at the top to get my eye level right. And thats all.

Erica is right on. I used a dremel cutting wheel after i drew a line down from the top (dont trim the bottom of the thighs). Using a steady hand - i followed my line i drew with the dremel and cut all the way around, and cleaned it up with sand paper.

I was reviewing the changes i need for centurion, including upgrading my E-11 (i have a converted hasbro). This lead me to the question from the CRL. Under the ANH Stunt CRL a DLT-19 is listed as a weapon for this costume. Can you use a DLT-19 (instead of the E-11)with a centurion submission? Or does it have to be an E-11? If an E-11 is required - can the CRL be updated to reflect this as a requirment? Thanks

Wow - that was fast. Thank you sir!

You also might want to get rid of the return edge on your biceps. They helped me fit into mine without the need of overly large cover strips. It looks like from your photos that you still have the full reutrn edge and that eats up space.

Dominick Ursini 62284 EIB Letter Thanks!

Not a bad idea. I dont think that will get the desired look though. If im tracking with your idea - then you will still have a big wide flat thing on the back of the thighs - just with a skinny cover strip. Let me toy with the idea and get some more troops under my belt and see if i want to jump all the hoops for the centurion. In the mean time - im super stoked about the EIB.

WOW! Looks great!

Thanks guys. the build was a bit of a challenge. The HIPS makes for alot of painting and re-painting. When i go for centurion, i will make all the recommend changes - however about my thighs....(sigh) as i said - im kinda a big dude (235-240lbs) and with those cover strips my legs barely fit. I not sure what to do other than lose weight and get a little skinnier. The armor wasnt designed for someone my size. Do you have any suggestions for that? when i was buiiding it was made clear to me that the front strips need to be that size and i shouldnt alter them, and if i needed more room to add it in the back (which i did). I dont know if Scootches thighs are on the small size and thats why i needed such a big cover strip. I would appreciate any input you guys have on the topic...

Wow. Super Impressed. Cant wait to see the final product.

Ok. Fair enough. im still learning here. Luckly - Scootch is super cool and lives near me. SO when i mess something up - i can get a new one from him.
