  1. Hi everyone. It's Chadd "Chadder" Thomas, approved TK and Florida GML. Question for everyone: I have a TK that is asking the correct way to do shims on the sides. The CRL doesn't say how to, so I'm reaching out to you all with what you may have discussed is the right way to do it. They have used rivets, which to my knowledge would not be approvable. But again, that's why I'm asking here. Thanks everyone!
  2. So help me clear this up. I have screenshot from ANH of a TK with Pauldron and pouches but NO pack. Is he a HWT or just a clean TD? Because THAT'S what I want to do next. If he's considered a HWT then a pack should not be required for basic approval. If he's a TD then I need to head on over to MEPD.
  3. Trooperbay does the backpack and Pauldron. I found a sweet set of black leather ammo packs on eBay a few weeks ago for $50 from seller "angelababyrock". Only took a week from China. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Oh...and one more question about understanding the template above. You and gaz say the length of the pipe should be around 18.25 inches...but the template above has 8" and 8". So where do you put them together to get the 18.25 inches? Thanks a lot!
  5. I took your suggestion Vern and went to Lowes yesterday to check out the grey coduit pipe. The 1.5" inch seems huge compared to all other blasters I've seen (or comparing it to my hasbro mod.) I measured the 1.25 pipe and its 40mm in outer diameter. Isn't that what we want?

  7. Thanks Gazmosis (and everyone else) for your kind words. I thouroughly enjoyed the build. I think I understand what you mean about the shoulder bridges. That's one of the few things I wasn't crazy about with ATA armor - that the bridges don't go as far in on the chest as they do on some other armor. And I think by trying to move them as forward as possible it makes them look like they stick up a bit. But no velcro under there...I only used E6000 for everything. And as far as the belt, rather than put snaps all the way through the armor I glued snap plates on the front instead (that way I figured if my measurements were off a bit with the snaps I put in the canvas I could adjust the snap plates!) Hopefully soon I will be Centurion!
  8. ...And two more photos that I'm not sure are necessary for EIB but it looks like others have added them. So shall I!!
  9. Thanks everybody! And Germain...I have a pipe build ready to start to work toward Centurion (once I'm approved here, of course!) And it looks like I may have left off two photos. Here you go:

  11. I have 501st status...and now official TK approval (TK-71012)...but it won't let me request EIB status. Help... http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=16198

  13. Thanks for the feedback! Next question: mic tips. Flat black or semi gloss or gloss? I found the testors spray paint that matches the gray and black paints for the bucket. Thanks! Chadder Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
