  1. Thanks Bobby, You have another MTK set of armor joining the EIB ranks with you!
  2. Best of luck trooper it looks good. While I dont think its necessary for EIB, I would recommend painting your rivets on the ab/kidney. And later on down the road if you look to go for a more screen accurate look try and find some solid domed rivets. It looks really good though!
  3. Haha yeah, no need to paint Hopefully itll be all ready to go soon here, I must say that the new strapping looks much more secure than when I saw it the first time! It looks good!
  4. Best of luck Dominick, I also just got my EIB. Its cool to see us both at this point as a month ago we were still working on stuff at the amor party! If theres anything I can do to help let me know!
  5. Hi there again, I wanted to officially get all my photos over to you and hopefully get passed Since posting my first time I have had the opportunity to have my first troop (no broken parts or anything) and have placed an order for a set of animated clone armor! Here are all the pics you should need, knee plate fixed and the scope should be the correct one as its the one that came in my kit Here you go! Also sorry about the shotty photo job, I took these on the fly in my kitchen! hahaha
  6. Wanted to post here really quick! I had my first troop this past weekend. Spend about 4 or so hours in the armor and not a single problem. No broken parts, no armor bite, or anything else. I am quite happy with how my TK came out!
  7. Ian, As bobby said, I wouldnt atke a whole lot off the back/cap or whatever, as mine is literaly pretty snug. Mine just barely fits on with the mic and fans inside the bucket and I use the twist on method! you can always go back after you got it all together and slowly take a bit of it out at a time in case your head needs more room.
  8. Looking good so far! The biggest help for me was the trooperbay videos mike made and then looking at builds here. There wasnt actually any MTK builds till recently so I looked at ATA builds. Everything is looking good so far! As Bobby said, make sure to use the TD pipe for the curve on the thigh ammo belt thingy. Aswell take a look at some reference shots to get that awesome 45 degree angle on the main ammo belt! Bucket: Everything seems to look good here, it took me a while to figure out how I wanted by brow trim on there, so after you put your rivets in the ear really play with it to be sure that you got it exactly where you want it! I will say that I think you might want to trim a little more of the top corner where the brow line is. While you will not want it to be a 90 degree angle, I think you will need to cut a little more so that the brow trim can properly fit in place. That extra large curve might hinder it.... it might, check it out.
  9. I have been unable to make the changes to the shin and other things, however SCG is having an armor party in a week so I'm hoping to get some help with abs paste!
  10. Thank you very much, I have these photos, I simply must of forgotten to include them. I will get them up once I take care of the sniper knee plate! Thanks As for the armor fit, I have begun working towards getting this addresses, as I started with my left bicep! Its a long process, but I should get it taken care of soon! As for the Kidney plate, I think im nutz, but it seemed to fit much nicer that way than the other way. I will check out the other way and see whats up with it, I might have it upside down. Once again thank you, and I hopefully will get these things for you as soon as I have some free time!
  11. Thank you in advanced for the time looking over and reviewing my application process. I am a new member of the 501st, and looking to hopefully join the ranks of those who have earned EIB Armor= MTK Helmet= MTK Blaster= Hasbro Doopy Conversion Height = 5 ft, 11 in Weight = 145Ibs Boots = TK boots Canvas belt = Trooperbay Electronics= Aker/icomm Neck Seal =Trooperbay Photos
  12. Mike, you come to the rescue. I will probably hit you up here in the next day or so, Im going to try and get the abs paste stuff to work. But if it doesnt again, Ill shoot you an email! Seriously everyone Trooperbay is spectacular!
  13. Thanks everyone, I want to go EIB however I have a rivet in my sniper knee plate..... I think thats the only real issue I might have.... I had wasnt able to get the abs paste stuff to work when I tried it on a test piece of material, so im hesitant to take apart mine and try it. I might be looking for a new sniper knee plate.....

  15. UPDATE: AS OF THIS MORNING MY ARMOR WAS APPROVED, now I am simply waiting to receive my TK number! woohoo!
  16. Just heard back from the GML, they said that they received my photos and have begun the review process. They said they will have some feedback within a few days! Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!
  17. Never 100% complete, but I think I meet basic garrison approval so I sent in some photos! Keeping the fingers crossed that my GML approves me!
  18. Hey Everyone, I wanted to share some updates with all of you on my progress! First of all I have gone ahead and gotten leather and all the materials for a holster and made my own. Luckily my parents best friend own a company called C&L Letterman (large letterman jacket making company) so they gave me literally half a cow worth of leather. Aswell I got a new mannequin. I told everyone last week that I was going to purchase one.... well I did, I bought the least buff man that looked similar to my build. However once I got it home I realized that he was still to buff (mainly in the arms and thighs). So I took it back and exchanged it for a ..... female.... yeah I bought a girl, but honestly other than the super small hips and breasts it isnt to bad. It seems to better resemble a 21 year old 5'11" 150 pound person much better than the man ones. So as you all have been waiting for... my armor on a female mannequin... lol
