  1. It is a thread on applications for a higher level of accuracy, above basic 501st approval of a TK costume. Verb was referencing the fact that there are many RS applications in that thread. Rest assured, RS is a fabulous kit, they are fine to deal with, and finally, the ultimate accuracy is up to you and your build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. But the shape of those T tracks are a little too "Rebels" TK blasterish for me. Perhaps grind them down to straighten out the curve I think a few of us might have a background discussion on this, to see what the general feel is, and if any more mods would bring it to an EIB passable level, or if it is acceptable at the stage you have it. Before Doopy kits, the Hasbro's and home made versions were all that was available, unless you could get your hands on a deac. Now days we are spoiled for choice with more accurate versions. You have done a great job on this One [emoji106] Please bare in mind, this would require a change in the CRL and this may take some time to happen, if it is ever decided that it would be an accepted blaster for EIB. But all the above doesn't mean you can't troop with it anyways. [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Well done Rui, great build. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. Hi Andrew thank you for your application, lets jump to it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for EIB. With that, we would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section, we review suggestions made by your fellow troopers and our own observations, that go towards improving the final look of your armor. If any suggestions require changes, we list those in the above section or the Centurion Suggestions section. This is yet another example of close to perfect armor building. We can only say well done so many times. Your blaster is awesome, you just cant beat the real McCoy, and the armor fits you very well. The only thing we could come up with is your drop boxes. just make sure they are secured from behind the belt to stop them from sliding around. Make sure they are aligned with the ends of the plastic ammo section. Some thing mentioned by your fellow troopers : Blaster scope, usually would be a M38 or 40, where you are using a variant. as EIB and Centurion are about a higher standard of accuracy, and not prop replication, we have no issue with this, although it would be the ultimate final touch. Helmet paint job. We agree it is a fine example indeed. Centurion Suggestions: The ultimate accuracy required for Centurion is up to the trooper. You have made it extremely difficult for us to comment on something here. Job well done!!!! Congratulations, and we hope to see a Centurion application in the future.
  6. Apologies for delay Derek, I am on family vacation, and have very crappy Internet and cell phone service where we are staying. Tony and I have had a look at your app and will complete it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  15. I'm with Eric on this, I would highly recommend keeping heat away from Lycra . You can also buy fabric specific black pens which do not wash out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. Michael, aside from those last challenges you had, your armor looks awesome, you certainly look ready for battle to me. Well done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  20. I have been playing Battlefront on PC, and the think I am really good at is dying. My game name is TK11469, so when you see my emoji it's a photo of me in TK shoulders up but I saved it sideways so I have assumed the dead position . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. It's become quite apparent to me that you never sleep, always coming up with something, and again it looks brilliant. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. Your shoulder bells do need some work. Length can be reduce a little but also the width of them looking from front on. This is an easy trim which I recommend you do before you shorted the length. Measure two lines, one where you think they need to be trimmed back to and one half way between that line and the edge. This is your safety net so to speak. How do you mark the line evenly and trim evenly, I hear you ask, easy. Place the Bell flat on a table now grab a pencil and some coins and work out how much to trim off starch the coins, even tape them together with the pencil on top. Slide the bel up to the pencil/coin stack and slide the bell all way around leaving the pencil stationary. This gives you a very even trim line all way around. Then you get your work knife and space it to the same height, when I did mine I had to go out and buy a smaller knife as I only took 5mm off mine. You use the same method with the knife stationary and carefully with light pressure pushing the bell against the tip, scribe your cut line around, then repeat a few times so as to make the cut slightly deeper with each pass. Then snap just like you would when making cover strips. If this isn't making sense I will try and find some photos to show exactly how this works. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Your welcome mate, you have a beautiful set of armor to be proud of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. Tony you are a guru in your own right, great build detail, I'm just blown away. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. G'day Chris, well here we are......Centurion application. well done for coming this far, so lets see what we have. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: Thank you for making the requested modifications onthe shoulder bells and knee pack from your EIB application, I'm sure you will agree those little refinements make you look the best you can look. All required photos are present, and your armor contains all necessary elements for Centurion. That being said, Congratulations!!, you did it. A good clean application is always a pleasure for us to go through so thank you for making our job easy. There is only one suggestion I have in relation to your Butt plate. It seems to stick out a bit on one side. I think by adding an extra strap or moving the existing one closer to the end might just alleviate that problem. Now get out there and Troop your Centurion butt off.
