Excellent build so far, keep up the good work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Veeds My suggestions are only for cosmetic look if you intend to go for EIB and centurion, and would, cause you look great. Can you shorten the straps that connect your shoulder bells to the shoulder bridges so the bell basically touches the bridge. it seems you have a fair gap in your full front photo. I would also shorten your drop box straps, as per the higher level CRL, they should be touching or near touching the bottom of the ammo belt. Tolo is right, you should go for it, its within your grasp.

You would be correct, the Hero helmet only had 6 teeth cut out and bubble lenses, where as the Stunt , 8 teeth and a flat lens material. Basically the Hero bucket was a cleaned up version, used in close up shots and the style that Luke and Han wore. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hans is correct, please don't cut the corners. The shins open from the back and will close with either Velcro or elastic and hooks, which is how they were done originally. Velcro is an easy option. When you put your rear cover strip on you can make it a little wider than the front strip. It is only glued to one side and Velcro attached to the other. Have a good look at a few of the build threads to see the different ways others have gone about this process. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lookin sharp mate. All the changes and mods you've done look great, and the color match looks perfect in the photos too. Well done.

A big congratulations to you Eric, and all the staff both new and reprising their rolls. I am confident that we will continue to grow and improve in everything we do. I think we are definitely in for an exciting year ahead, with the changes Eric has mentioned. I'm so excited , I could Breakdance! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Walter, your armor looks great. I think you have left out an image showing the thigh ammo pack and the cap rivet attachment, required for EIB application. Also images of Sniper plate attachment. Good luck.

For a lot of them, it is the only line from the movie they know. Welcome to the FISD Kristie. We empower all trooper regardless of height, weight or gender. You are going to look awesome when you are finished building your armor, and that is what matters most. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi TCK, sorry I have a habit of abbreviating peeps names. You will need to replace the tap aerators that come with the AP bucket. If you want a super accurate mic tip, you should check out CFO (Cast from original) they are moulded off the correct item for the mic tips. He is sskunky, here on the forums.

Very jealous, wish I could go, there is just something about the $1600 Aus return airfare I don't like.

This is one of the extremely rare times you will ever hear me recommend evilbay, but I got 5 x 5volt 50mm fans from there. They came from China including postage for $6.00. My thinking was, run 2 fans and have spares incase of failure. Haven't lost one yet, used them over the last 9 months, so best $6 I have spent. Just to add, you can get Two wire or Three wire, go the Two wire, red and black you can't go wrong. I also run lithium rechargeable batteries in series, standard Energiser x4 AA, bought them from local supermarket in a pack with the fast recharger, they charge from dead flat to full in about 15 minutes.

Best principle, if your head doesn't fit, trim some more. If it does fit, you are good to go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looks very nice, should be an easy pass. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Square up the corners of the teeth a little, and agree with the others with opening them up a tad more. looking good so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
