Sweet! Thank you everyone! Ill get to work on the Centurion stuff over the next couple weeks

Neck Seal And the left side fixed I also started following other comments for Centurion. I shortened the holster straps to 1 inch below belt as well as "tame" the edges I believe all is in order for EIB Thank you

Check on the chest to ab connection. If thats the reason for it, then I dont have a problem. I know of a couple troopers that do, but I have never experienced it. With my arms raised, leaning back and taking a deep breath, I still have over a inch of overlap. I do have the straps and mounts there, I just dont like to wear them... I didnt get the pictures taken as it was raining and gloomy yesterday, and the few minutes of sun we had went to a photoshoot for my fiancee's newest costume. I expect later today if it doesnt pour again. I have another question regarding the centurion. I am digging up all my extra plastic to make sure I have enough for the new rear cover strips and I ran into a problem. I only have enough in the 100% matching color to make one. Would it be acceptable to use a slightly different shade of white for the rear strips so that left and right match? I already know that MC has run out of that specific shade....Was there when they used the last piece.... The different shade is very close and it would take a good eye to see the difference.

Pictures should be coming tomorrow(I hope) To clarify I need to upload a photo of my neck seal and a new set of left side pictures to show the gap between the ab plate and back plate are closer together. Are there any other pictures needed for my EIB application? I want to be sure as after next weekend I am going to tear a few parts apart to re-adjust for Centurion. As for answers to other questions, I have eliminated 99% of the return edge on the forearm. I did not plan to even submit the TK for 501st approval much less centurion when I build it. However, I was talked into it by a few friends and my Squad leader! I will trim it down fully over the next few weeks. For my hand painted helmet decals, yes they look funky.... I seem to only have a smooth hand for trimming, but paint.... I need a couple rum shots to calm my hands. I will fix this for sure. I have a set of rubber gloves and latex hand guards that I have for my TD. I would have used them here but the glue bottle exploded when I was gluing the hand guards on, so they are somewhat of a mess and thus why they are now for a TD. I will have the latex hand guards soon. I do not have the elastic straps for my shoulder straps in place for these pictures, but I do have them. I know many items fit pretty loose on me, im just a skinny guy. I am really destined to be 3PO, but thats for another thread and another day. All other points are noted and will be addressed before lvl3. I do have a few questions regarding lvl3. First, do I NEED any connection between my chest and ab plate? Second, how much scuffing is needed for the boots?

I cannot believe I spaced the neck seal pic. I took it but I didn't post. Doh.

All good to know about the thighs. If I apply for centurion, I will make sure the fit is closer to the knee. I have a few other items that I want to finish/improve before I go that route.

Around the same price for a ESB?

I have researched and built the heck out of Iron Man costumes. That one is a really nice painted foam suit, nothing more.

I am in no rush.

Any thoughts on this? ----------- Is this just trooperbay selling the doopydoos or is this something else?

Ill take the doopydoos under advisement. What I really want from them is the full kit that you have to get from there website as well as a hasbro skin. Problem is, it calculates the shipping to be only $0.17. I sent them a e-mail about it, no repose, so I ordered. They refunded me the money and have not fixed the issue on the site. I dont mind paying for the real total shipping for both on a single order, but if they refund my money every time without fixing the problem I pointed out, then what am I to do..... Anyways..... I printed the pipe templates out to scale with no margins and whatnot. I checked the measurements of the holes to make sure its to the correct scale. I received my 1 1/2 inch OD pipe yesterday and checked, the templates are to big, but about a half inch or so. Was 1 1/2 inch OD pipe to small or is there a problem with the templates?

Hello all, Now that my TK is approved I want to start building a better blaster. Currently I am using a Hasbro with a conversion. I built my TK with level 3 in mind, so its time to upgrade. I have been tossing around the idea of Hyperfirm E11 but want to see if there are any other options. I really want to avoid DoopyDoos as I had some bad experiences with them on their customer service side. Are there any other pipe detail kits out there that would work with a 1.5 inch OD, 1/16 inch wall pipe? Or would a Hyperfirm be my only option? Thanks Jason

I have Velcro, and from time to time it will get loose when I put my helmet on or take it off. If I remember to screw my helmet to the right when taking it off or putting it on, there is no problem.

I agree that the elastic looks a bit wide.

I think I found a set of TKboots local in my size. However, I will maintain this thread as I still more than likely pick up a set of Bass Amsterdam and dye them white

Thank you! I know it will work out quite well

You are right, I guess I missed that. Shadow trooper is later.

I guess its almost time, so I am starting this build thread for my stunt. I have recently, within the past 2 weeks, finished my Shadow Scout and have submitted for 501st. Still waiting to hear back on that, however, I am already started my second project. On Saturday, oct 12, I will get to pick up and build my hard armor. I know I will not have the entire set finished, but its still exciting! I have ordered a MC kit, and from everyone in my squad/garrison that I talk to, they say it should be the best fit for me, as I am 5'6 and 150. Well here to a good build!

Before you ask, I have e-mailed TKboots, I am just looking around to hopefully find something. ----------- I saw this, I know they are women's, but I dont really care. I have small feet. Any thoughts?
