Wow looking great! A very clean build, especially on the bucket.  I think when you add the other photos EI should be in the bag. 

Also, very impressive that you can fit your cap inside your helmet. 

 

Since you are aiming for Centurion, the one thing I see you could adjust in the meantime is the gap between your belt and drop boxes. It's very minimal but the goal is to have little to no gap and will make that Centurion badge appear under your name that much faster. 

 

 

Good luck trooper!

Thank you for that!! Hopefully I can attain EIB and then grab Centurion next? That drop box fix is easy enough to do. Noticed the elastics on the bridges were also not in place, but are already in place.

Actually all we need is a photo of the holster connections on the back side of the belt, and the calf correction. Raising the belt would be a suggestion but not a requirement. Soon as we have the updated photos we can get you approved. 

Pics that were requested, have been edited into the application. Thank you for your patience!

Josh...  

I know that you're ready...  Make with the pics already.     

Sorry for the delay all. I'm about to take the pics and post. I had the calves fixed 5 minutes after I read the reply, just no time to re-take the photos requested. They'll be up in a matter of hours. 

 

Thank You for your patience.

Really nice job on that build, Josh, and GREAT to see you went with the double snap system!   (You won't regret the extra work, brother, I promise).

Hopefully you will be aiming for Centurion after your EI approval, in which case I can suggest a couple of items to help.  First, I would raise your ABS belt a bit in the front.  It should cover (or even overlap a bit) the bottom of your large ab button plate.  (screen shot below)

The other is to change out the TD screws.  They should be the flat slotted "pan-head" style.  I will send you a set free of charge, just PM me.

It may just be me, but how wide are the clips on your TD?  They should be right at the 30mm mark.

Easy fixes, brother, and these small changes will bring you a lot closer to screen accuracy.  See you at EI soon!

 

Thank You very much brother! I built for Centurion and very much plan to achieve it. Tony has suggested the belt raise, and I will make that adjustment as soon as I can. I also need to fix the cover strips, as noted above. I would love to get a set of those "pan-head' style TD screws. Will be messaging you soon. TD clips I will measure to double check to verify they are correctly sized. Worse case, I'll make a new set. Look forward to getting these corrections made and serving my Empire!!!

Thanks much for the push in the right direction!

Before we get started we need you to make a correction for us. The calf cover strip is supposed to stop just below the upper molded edge. Can you trim these down and sub a new photo please. Thanks

Will get on this immediately and add the additional photos. Thanks a bunch!!

[Leaving the sandbox]

Welcome to the crew!!!

[wreckdivr's RT-Mod ANH Stunt Build [*RT]]

I have the same issues with my RTmod build, and decided on inner strips as well as cover strips. I left mine alone as only one will show once the sniper plate is attached.

[Darman, Veedox, or TrooperBay soft parts?]

I chose Veedox for the neck seal and Darman's 8oz holster. I am extremely happy with both.

[ANH hero square buttons for belt... help!]

My dog got hold of 2 of the 3 covers I had. I was stoked to find this dime trick!!! First attempt was a fail, second I had nailed it and kept going. When I put them side by side to the ones that came with my kit, they were more domed and much smaller. I tried a nickel but the same result, a bigger dome instead of a flat raised disc. ABS paste seems like my only shot now.

[Aren't you a little fat/short for a Storm Trooper - RT-Mod]

Congrats Brother!!!

[Adding the kidney shim- not bad but..........]

Thank YOU for posting this!!! I feel a lot more confident adding my shims now, and I know what I am in for. Cheers  Brother!!!

[Ukswrath's AM 1.0 build]

My jaw remains on the ground after seeing your build!!! You brother, are awesome!!! I will be visiting this thread often!!!

[Mutter's NE ANH Stunt Build]

WOW!!! That came out great!!! Looking forward to getting mine finished and out trooping!!!

[A Slightly Disheveled Medium and a Pristine Big Brown Box Arrived Today - Dark's RT-Mod ANH Hero (and Stunt) Build Thread]

Finally got through reading every bit of this build and I'm a heck of a lot more informed than I was previous!!! Thank you for all the Tid Bits of information riddled throughout. I will now start from the beginning or should I say where I am at with my build and commence. F150 I mean FISD

[Black Under Suit and Boots]

Just picked up the bottom half of the the undersuit at Academy Sporting goods for 17 bucks. You can drop some coin on Nike and Hurley for the same stuff, it's up to you. Unfortunately, they didn't have a long sleeve top. I think it's because it's summertime. Hope that gives you a lead

[RT-MOD ANH HERO Build]

Please unscramble my brain??? I got my kit from Rob earlier this week. I have seen overlaps, butt joints, cover strips and now I see this (inner strips)

I'm so confused as to what I need to do to just get it started.... I was going to overlap, and then decided to do strip covers, but now???? Arghhhh!!!

I'm 6' 250lbs. and the measurements that I got from Rob, he said that there would be (Little, or no mods required to fit the suit to me)

I feel like I'm just chasing my tail right now....

Can I get a little direction from anyone??? Please and Thank You!!!
