Everyone starts out a little nervous on their first build, but you have already started trimming, so the most daunting step is behind you. Take your time, continue to ask questions when in doubt and refer to build threads and reference photos from the movie. Good luck, we are here to help. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's an awesome option, me thinks I will be following suit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice work, you have done, look accurate it does. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey guys, to answer the question regarding the notches at the back of your shins and thighs. Absolutely a yes you can, it will not affect your EIB or Centurion applications. I had no choice but to do mine for mobility, and to avoid armour bite, and had no trouble at all with approvals. As Locitus says, some of the troopers in ANH had the notches. Mine were done before any approvals took place. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good, slow and steady wins the race, and your finished product will look sensational. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I did the loops and put a small piece of Velcro on the inside to keep them in place and make them easily movable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking awesome so far, arm parts look nice and clean, and the back plat is looking much better, keep up the good work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey John, how was the Indooroopilly troop today? I would trim some more of the return edge off the shoulder bell, it doesn't need much. Here in Brisvegas, most of the builds these days are using CA glue (Zappa gap) you just need to make sure everything is where you want it before you put the parts together, but have a chat to Petros on the RBG forum as he is using E6000 and yes he got it from Trooperbay. Your progress is looking good, don't be scared to give me a call if you need some help, just PM me and I will give you my number. troopers helping Troopers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thought those images looked familiar. They are 22mm checkouts, I was hesitant at first as this change occurred during my build, but always intended to make Centurion and it was an easy mod. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Mmmm, nice shiny whitey, enjoy the journey, it's a fun one indeed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Congrats Steve, welcome to the ranks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good luck, you did a great job. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Patrick, looks awesome, one suggestion the top of your thighs the cover strips, if you find they dig into you a little, you can trim them to follow the line of the thighs. At the moment they look to be straight at the top, not that there is anything wrong with that. Great work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This picture is part of a whole series of concept art work, not sure but it may have little if anything to do with the new movies, I'm just trying to find the link to repost it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You have done a great job, and your journey, weights loss rebuild are a credit to you. Best of luck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

With the biceps, just make sure you can flex the muscle, it should touch the sides when arm bent or flexed. They will be a little loose when your arm is straight, you can put some foam inside if you are worried they will move around too much. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agree with you, I like the bubble look as well. It would be good if you can make them interchangeable for approvals, then put the bubbles back in[emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Excellent work, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Jeff, helmet looks sweet. I have one thing to mention, I see you have what looks like four teeth cut out on the side you can see clearly, this is what you commonly see on the stunt version of the helmet, you also have the bubble lenses fitted, which are seen on the Hero helmet version. When you submit for approval I think you will need to change the lenses out to the flat lens if it is the stunt variant you are building. Hope this helps. Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Jeffrey, haven't herd anything from you for a while, how is the build going? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice work Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Probably just early concept art to base the redesign off. Like in the early days of ANH I imagine there would be quite a few of these kicking around as they try and keep faithful to the lineage and modernise for the 30 odd year gap between episodes. Very cool though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ahh yes, good clarification T-Jay, I was automatically thinking ANH E-11, but I do like the Replica Sterling look. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Like the trooper you see in ANH , the boarding party, stops to check one of his slain troopers, then later on strips him of anything useful. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
