  1. Man, I can't wait to see this all put together! Once you're all done, hit me up, I bet my friend would love to take some killer photos for you
  2. lol, first rule of building armor is not to look at the running total
  3. Hey All, I really don’t mean to come off as egotistical, but whats FISD’s thoughts on watermarking EIB and Centurion images? The reason I bring it up is because yesterday I was talking to my friend who took the my EIB and Centurion photos. From our conversation he suggests that I watermark the images like this: His thought is that someone will snatch them up and use them to sell their own armor or to be used for personal gain. The watermarking idea It's been rolling around in my head for a bit, I guess the part that worries me the most is if some re-caster uses my photos to sell there knock off armor on eBay… What are your guys thoughts?
  4. Hey Locitus, Any news on when my Centurion Certificate will be ready? It seems like anderche, 0skar, Kredal, and myself have been skipped.
  5. Tim Magoolaghan 31689 Centurion Letter Thank you!
  6. I'm super ecstatic right now!! Thank you very much everyone, I couldn't have done it without all of your help. From the amazing build threads I read to the awesome parts built by passionate people, I'm very grateful that this whole community exists. This has been an awesome journey and I can't wait to head out trooping with the GGG!
  7. Beautiful armor! I know nothing about ROTJ Armor, but overall your armor looks sharp and clean, great job!
  8. Thank you! Lets see if I can help: 1 - Yes, I did trim the back. If you look at this photo: The 2 strips in the red circle is how much I took off, I basically took off the return edge that is molded into the back of the AP thighs. As for the cut, I used blue tape to make a "line" that I wanted to cut, used a razor blade to score the line, then flexed the plastic back and forth to get a clean break. 2 - Yes, I used a heat gun and popsicle sticks in between the ammo boxes. The popsicle sticks ensure an even bend when curving the thigh ammo pack. Just do it r-e-a-l-l-y slowly, you don't want to heat the plastic up too much or you will melt it. I personally didn't run into any problems, but I was very careful and took my time. Hope these tips help!
  9. Thank you! Yeah, I've seen some people use velcro or snaps to hold the right shin in place. After I go on a few troops I'll most likely add something to keep the shin from moving. Thank you! Thanks Tony! I've been following your TFA build and it looks amazing so far! All the photo equipment is my friends, but I bet he wouldn't have any problems taking some photos for you
  10. Thanks for the info. I understand the all caps problem, but personally I think seeing "tk", "Anh" "Esb" "Rotj" is a bit odd. I was just typing something like that, glad to hear, I'd love to whitelist basic abbreviations.
  11. Hey, I posted a thread yesterday and it forced the topic title to be title caps instead of what I typed. I tried updating topic title multiple times but it would always switch the text to title caps. Here's the thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32630-tk-31689-requesting-anh-stunt-centurion-status-ap/ The topic title should be: TK 31689 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status [AP] But this is what is being displayed: Tk 31689 Requesting Anh Stunt Centurion Status [Ap] If you please do two things: 1 - Fix the force title caps for the topic titles. *I've noticed I'm not the only one having this problem, every new topic since the server move seems to be effected. 2- Fix the title topic to my thread I linked to. Thank you very much for your time.
  12. First off, I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words. A lot of time, research, and sweat went into my armor and I'm quite moved that all you guys like it as much as I do Thank you! I can't wait to add another Centurion to the GGG! Thank you! Thank you! All these photos are taken at my friends house with an iPhone 6 (yeah, crazy huh!). Here's a sneak peak of the set up: Also, thanks for the feedback, the next photoshoot I do I'll try and line the right shin up a bit better. Thank you! Thank you! Haha, yep, as you know this AP armor is a bit finicky at times. Don't get me wrong, I love the AP armor, but it does have it's quirks Thank you! Thank you! I've seen tons of amazing AP armor builds, but that said I would be honored to be up near the top Thank you! Thank you! haha, yeah, some like them dirty or scuffed, but I like mine fresh and clean Thank you!
  13. Looking good so far! One thing about the EvilBoy TD clips is that the holes aren't drilled in the correct location. Not to worry, you will just need to cut down the aluminum bracket with a hacksaw about an inch or so and it will be perfect. Check out this post on my build thread to get more info: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29697-joblesspunk’s-ap-stormtrooper-build/?p=406787

  16. Thanks Lets see if I can help ya out. I don’t have any photos but here’s basically what I did: 1 - Peeled off the coverstrips trying not to bend them too much. - E6000 is very forgiving and you can peel parts apart if you need to. 2 - Cleaned off the E6000 Glue. - I peel as much as I can off with my hands. With all the rest all I do is take a towel and vigorously rub it over the glued area. It easily comes off, kind of like the glue that comes on the back of a new credit card. 3 - Cutting. - I eyeballed how much I needed to trim. My main concern was to be able to fit my fist through the opening, so make sure you can do that. - As for cutting, I “drew†a straight line with Blue masking tape and either used an razor blade to score and snap the ABS plastic, or the other way is to use heavy cutters and cut of the excess ABS plastic. 4 - Glued it all back up. Hopefully that helps, let me know if you have anymore questions
  17. Hey all Two things: 1- I bought Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Foam to deoxidize my gloves: It worked great! 2- I will be taking my Centurion photos this Friday! Please let me know if anyone would like to see anything before I take the official photos
  18. Day 2: Trimmed down all the cover strips: Cut down my forearms a bit: Tomorrow I’ll glue the other side of my forearms, and then the next day I’ll trim down my forearm cover strips. If everything goes well I should be all done with the requested adjustments this week. I’m shooting to take new photos sometime next week, so let me know if there’s anything you would like to see before then. Thanks again for everyones help
