Here we are once again lol. Seems like yesterday we were submitting Centurion applications! Best of luck, brother! You got this! My HWT parts are beginning to trinkle in so it shouldn't be long before im back to submitting again lol!

I did something similar to Gazmosis' method. Except i just stacked ABS to make 4 "staging areas", drilled a whole in the glued stacks, tapped them(did this according to what size machine screw i was using), glued an undrilled piece of abs on one side of the drilled and tapped staging areas(to prevent the screw from ever being overtightened and coming through the face of my helmet), then marked where the screws would go on my lens, and used a rubber washer between the lens and the screw head to keep the screw head from scratching up my lens.

Steve! Just wanted to say this helmet turned out GREAT! Will be definitely sharing to the new recruits of the Anovos Era!

When will then, be now?

Some pictures of me finally trooping with this thing<br> And made a new friend from the 501st Peru Garrison!

There will be once i take photos lol. I was able to modify the electronics after the barrel was glued on using some tin foil and kwiksteel. Ill try to get pictures up by the end of the weekend. I plan on finally trooping with it tomorrow!

Peanut butter jelly tiiiiiiiime!

Looks great!!!! Im in process of ordering my pack materials myself! Congrats!!

If you have Facebook, check out the Star Garrison Imperial Academy on FB. Our boards are only opened to approved members, i found that out the hard way when i was still a recruit lol.

congrats on your approval! very well deserved! that site is looking insanely awesome!

Wow im glad hes making improvements on his armor kit! Looks great!

Thabk you for sharing! Pure amazing awesome sauce!

I just now finished mine after not being happy with it initially. Seeing how all of yall have taken the mod even further, its giving me the itch to disassemble and restart. But thats a whole nother can of worms lol. Hopefully will just order a hyperfirm when the time is right

Your making me want to completely disassemble mine and follow your build lol. I just now finished mine up

Ya know, i didnt even think about that! Good addition! Heck even a small screw would work, since you need a screw to take off the battery compartment anyways. On comes the brainstorming!

I was going to install a disc, but then my batteries could never be replaced so i left it off

Bout time

Wow this is WICKED!!!!! Great job!

Accuracy calls for elastic, but its up to you.

A gap is actually what ya want. The ribbed shoulder straps will cover it. You will also have white elastic connecting the chest and back plate under the ribbed shoulder straps

Ok thanks. I would see how the back plate fits in relation to the chest. As long as you leave maybe an 1" or so you should be okay. Just make sure your ribbed shoulder straps will cover the gap there. Figure out where those will be placed on the chest, and that should help you determine how much you really need on the shoulders.

Can you provide pictures of the armor on you? I think we will have a better idea of how to assist you better if you do.

Another great newsletter! Thanks to all who contributed. And thank you to DarthAloha for dealing with us crazies in white for this past year!

I found mine on ebay. Just type in dark green faceshield lens and it should pop up. I would post a link but the person i purchased for no longer has a listing. I think i paid $7 or so there. If not, try trooperbay, you can never go wrong there.
