KaitoTrooper

Congratulations! Welcome to the RotJ Crew!

Lol, I actually realised, your thread started in 2009. Credits to Paul, these ideas are really great. Can you lower your back plate a few cm more? When wearing your helmet it should still look fine and you have an extra cover for some black.

Wishing you good luck for your application! You look really neat, I have got to say. EIB is not a big efford to reach with your armor. We need more RotJs there

Good to hear, keep going!

The undersuit is a case of personal preference. Some troopers use a 1-piece, others use a 2-piece suit. As long as it is black and has no logos etc. visible, they are good. For myself I wear a 2-piece with a bodyfit shirt and leggins (is that the English word? I don't know).

I really like your build. Keep going!

Hey there August, I'm sorry nobody answered you, I guess we RotJ are still quite shy To answer your question, your rivet hole is nearly in the middle of your ammo belt, so you should have plenty of room left in the upper left. If you have any excess ABS, you can mix it with some acetone and carefully fill your hole with this mass. Bondo sounds like a good idea, too, but watch out if the color fits in with the rest of your armor. All in all, I really like where this is finally going. Nice helmet!

Congrats! It's nice to see another trooper ready for duty Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Thank you! I'll catch up on these points and go for Centurion Looks like my front sight broke anyway, so replacing it is in need anyway.

Felix Premm 16084 EIB A4 Thank you!

Hello, I've been on vacation for a few days and could not take the extra photos, my appologies. Allright here we go: Right arms up Left arms up Helmet Shoulder bells Arms Strapping and forearms For the blaster I have to admit, I've bought it as my first part af my armor and never really tought about it. I'll contact Kai and ask if he has any references for this build. Otherwise I'll have to alter this part. Regards Felix

Are you sure that this isn't a requirement for Centurion? I thought so, because I didn't mention the white soles and the overlapping method, too. Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Finally, JC! Congratulations!

Like it! Admit it, you wanted to show us your Abarth How are you planning to add the dropboxes later? Now get a holster, slip up that biceps and you are good to go! Sent from the shield generator on Endor

You could try tighten to shin a bit or use some padding. An easy way to fix it is just a piece of velcro on your boots and inside the shin. Holds very well, I haven't had a problem with this method. I really like the job you did, move on! Sent from the shield generator on Endor

I really like your shoulder bells! In general it looks really good. Just one thing: The velcro on you back plate is visible and it may cause some problems during approval. Maybe your back plate wasn't in place or it is too long, but I would clean it up Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Looking at the shape of the straps, I would suggest they are meant for connecting the handguards to the forearms and for holding it in place while wearing a glove. Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Working in my to do-list I felt the need to paint the soles of my boots white, since RotJs hat white soles (in general). So here we go: - brushing the soles clean - taping the leather so no paint comes onto it - spraying - finished! There is still some cleaning up to do, but I'm quite satisfied with it. Next thing wil be the inner dropboxes. Later

I would try 4 small magnets in the corners. Then you can pull them apart easily, in my theory, Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Whoa, I've missed to reply to my own thread! Thank you all for your kind words. And I have some news for you: My first troop will be in 2 weeks and I hope to write a report for the FTE. For this troop I want to upgrade my boots with white soles and add some fans to my helmet (on the way). Last but not least are inner dropboxes. I want them to be "unseful", so I'm working on a way to open the dropboxes without any noticable modification. Really looking forward to wear my suit! Sent from the shield generator on Endor

And both can be sure that we will support them, can't they, Sly? I think it will be veery close Sent from the shield generator on Endor

You did a good job on the buttons Just a few steps and you are ready to go! Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Looks good to me! Sent from the shield generator on Endor

Wow, you fill out this armor better than me Just one thing (you will notice later, when you are completely assembled), your back plate is a bit too high. Again, great progress! Sent from the shield generator on Endor
