Sooooo, apparently I forgot to post the bicep to belt strap retaining clip assembly as one of my fellow garrison mates pointed out. If anyone is interested I'll go back at post it in the Bicep assembly area or if no one cares I'll skip it. Either way I'm fine

Hey Bob, Sly or myself will be with you shortly. While you're waiting can you please add the following pictures: Blaster "D" ring Helmet lens color Cod rivet Helmet back Blaster left side Thermal Detonator Holster attachment Thank you

My pleasure, we're here to help.

ooh you may be onto something here

Hey John, good choice and yes if built correctly it's 501st approved. If you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers

YESS!!! Best Pauldrons, Jay Parsons (MEPD), [email protected]

I must have stopped the movie a dozen times trying to figure out how the front strap is secured in the front. Best shots are when she's scaling the base wall. It almost appears to be secured under the folding grip. Not sure

Thank you, no sorry I'm all out. If something changes I'll post it here. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Hi Andrew, thank you for your Centurion application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. Thank you for updating the blaster pics. Your armor contains all necessary requirements needed for the Centurion badge. Sly and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you trooper. And another welcome to the elite few Centurion Heavy Weapons Trooper group. The family just got a little bigger Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Excellent job on your build and your backpack.

Dude that's jacked up. Ask her if she can spare bra strapping

Not a huge fan, my opinion only. I tend to use a lot of velcro for goodies and I find they stick better when adhered directly to the plastic. Also I could be totally wrong here but most if not all are painted black, doesn't black absorb heat. I don't know I could be totally off base here. $9 hard hat from Home Depot. Install insert into helmet. Adjust strap until the insert feels comfortable but snug on your head. Remove the insert marking the location of the insert connections and the helmet mounting locations (LF = left front, RF= Right front, etc.) From the lower rim of the helmet, parallel to the helmet insert mount (hump in helmet, can't miss it) cut upwards roughly 3" on each side of the mount. Then across the two cuts to form a curved rectangle roughly 1-1/2" x 3". Once all the sections have been cut remove any burrs and rough edges. Connect the mounts to the insert, test fit the assembly in the helmet ensuring the front brim of the insert is facing forward and positioned just above the upper eye return edge. Using a sharpie mark the location of the mounts. This doesn't have to be perfect. Remove assembly. Install industrial strength velcro on the mounts and helmet then reinstall insert. Adjust as needed.

Nope. Trooped with the guy a couple weekends back. He did have any complaints.

AH hahaha I love your positive viewpoint

Did I miss a step here? There shouldn't be an issue with the angle

Uhhhhh!

E6000 or Zap-A-Gap (aka superglue) should work fine. Just be careful with the Zap-A-Gap, a little dab will do.

Nice!

muy bueno!

Do you want pictures or is verbal sufficient?

Um well, yes and no. Let me explain, given your frame the more you tighten down on the belt, the more armor will continue to flex and follow the contour of your ab and back which may or may not be circular. The down side is the kidney and ab will start to overlap one another which you want to avoid. I suggest you assemble the left side kidney and ab keeping your goal in mind. From there install your belt and see how it looks.

Looking spiffy. During your build travels remember to think minimal to no gap between the shoulder bells and shoulder straps.

Well technically it's not supposed to be circular because you're body isn't. Once you remove some of the return edge you'll feel better about it. If not take a look at 100s of build where the armor is oval, not circular.

Unless you plan on using brackets to attach the core torso sections trim the return edges down to 1/8" to 3/16"

Sorry for the delay. Totally forgot to post this. Completely optional of course 19. Helmet Electronics: In this short section I'll be installing my Hovi Audio system, my Stormtrooper Hearing Assist (SHA) system and my cooling fan kit. Before installing the electronics the helmet is equipped with a hard hat liner which serves two purposes, increases the space available to install components and also increases air flow around the head. 1) Install 2" velcro at the back of helmet. This area is where all the larger components will be placed. 2) Add velcro to the back of the iComm Voice Modulation box. Install in helmet 3) Install amplifier 4) Install cooling fan battery case 5) Install SHA (hearing assist) PCB and battery box with on/off switch 6) Install cooling fans near the front of the helmet. 7) Install Hovi tips and Omni-Directional microphone. 7a. Remove old (Original) Hovi tips 7b. Enlarge mounting holes and install harness and mounting posts. 7c. Add connecting wires. Mic to iComm, iComm to amp, amp to speakers. Done! At the time of taking these pictures the headset was worn on the troopers head, since then it has been permanently fixed to the lens screws. Also, the hearing assist pickup mics were positioned at the end of the frown with insulating tape. Since seeing mine behind the ears the trooper has requested to move his, so no pictures for them as well. Enjoy!
