  1. Thanks for sorting that so quickly Mathias Best regards, Lee
  2. Oh, and just to be fair, I thought I'd submit this photo as I did take it, just forgot to post it up but I hope it fully satisfies the requirements Cheers guys
  3. Thank you guys!! Made it at last!! I do intend to replace the elastics at the sides and will double it over to keep them taunt and thus, the ab and kidney plates butted up long term. Funny you say that about the ab buttons, I found them much more of a slave Leia to paint than the lid!! I do touch them up from time to time so may look into making them a tad smaller before trooping season kicks off proper here in the UK in March. The neck seal isn't too bad. It does get hot indoors or on hot days (not that we get a whole bunch of them here) but I wear a balaclava which helps prevent too much sweating. Also, looking forward to getting out there and trooping in the new Under Armour suit as last year, I had a motorbike all-in-one undersuit which was hot. This under armour stuff is climate control type and literately like a second skin so hopefully cooler. Another major benefit is the armour moves over it a lot more freely Anyways, thanks for all the wonderful comments about my armour, anyone can tell a stormtrooper but to have people that know their stuff say how good it looks is great. Will I go Centurion? I don't know to be honest, perhaps, we'll see Many thanks guys and keep up the good work!! Lee
  4. Thanks also Gaz, Sly and Horseman. Feels great to have this kind of acknowledgement from your peers
  5. Thank you Paul, that means a lot. I just put the suit together mate, you put all the hard work in making great armour so it's great to do it justice and get it EIB approved (even if over a year later!!)
  6. Gaz, Sorry for the the delay mate. I've got the kids staying with me this weekend so manic!! Anyways, got them off to bed and commenced the requested changes (must add, my girlfriend has been great helping, especially considering it is Valentines Day and all that!!!). Anyway, reference the drop boxes, I have just tacked the bottom edged of the elastics to the canvas belt with some stitching which stops the boxes drifting out but doesn't stop them 'floating'. Reference the gap on the right side, I have made a new elastic strap which pulls it together as I didn't want the belt to pull in tighter at the bottom and still have a gap at the top. I'm certainly not a big guy and I literately think that a year of trooping this armour and some of the elastic has perhaps given a little so I intend to review them all and sort as necessary. Anyway, I think the issue is now resolved and I can assure, by no means am I sucking it in, this is a comfortable fit I hope this is ok for you and look forward to your comments. Many thanks Gaz. Best regards, Lee Right side And the left side Belt tack/stitching (same both ends) Belt
  7. Thank you Darth and Horseman, very kind words. The photo is awesome, taken during our Nov 5th Bonfire Night troop. Will look at fixing the drop boxes, best option probably tack them with a bit of stitching to stop them sliding along. Cheers for the feedback guys, Lee
  8. No probs Gaz, the ab and kidney plates do butt up without having to suck it in. I kitted up myself for these photos. Will kit up again and tighten the belt. I usually have an inch 'flap' to the side of the TD so will make its there which will mean the armour plates button up. Thanks for the feedback 😊
  9. Hi there. Please could you review my application for ANH Stunt EIB. I've been trooping this armour for a year now and really need to get this process in motion and hopefully get the EIB status.
