HOWTO: ukswrath's First Order Heavy Gunner (Flyye) Vest Modification
ukswrath replied to ukswrath's topic in TFA Stormtrooper
Technically, yes -
Not sure if it's worthy of Centurion, I think you should bring it by the house for further inspection and possible confiscation if I see fit the need to review it for a few days Excellent work

SAAAWEEEET!

That's what were here for

Hey Marc yes the shoulder bell position is looking good. Regarding the shoulder strap covers, you can remove the extra flat edge on each side of the ribs then square it off with the front and back. Keep up the great work

Hey Chris great question, as much as there should be little to no gap between the two if you're long arm Larry like me you need to balance the three sections out as much as possible. Looking at some screen reference pics basically bicep sits in the elbow joint. I would encourage you to take a look at some Centurion applications and see what others have done to overcome the situation. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/72-request-centurion-status/

8f. Shoulder Cover Retaining Strap In this short section I'll be illustrating how to install the shoulder cover retaining strap. Using 3/16" white elastic, cut two sections roughly 6" long. Wrap it around the shoulder strap and cover. Tie the ends in a tight knot. Slip it over the back plate and secure the covers.

Thanks for helping out Kalani

6g. Bracket System final assembly In this section we'll be continuing from section 6a. I'll be illustrating the final installation of the bracket system which connects the chest plate to the ab plate, back plate to kidney, and kidney to posterior. This will be performed using Mr. NoStripes bracket system mentioned on page 1. The bracket kit consists of 18 brackets, 15 short, 3 long, 9 connection elastic, machine screws and nuts. Due to this armor being so thin later on my build will illustrate how to create support pads for the brackets essentially spreading the stress over the entire bracket area surface instead of just at the screw heads. Being this is not movie accurate I'm keeping it separate from the original assembly. Reference pictures The three longest brackets are mounted on the chest, the reminder are mounted on the ab, back, kidney and posterior. Starting with the posterior install the bracket connection and machine screws like so. After completing one section install the adjacent section, incorporating the elastic connection material. The assembly is pretty straight forward with all the brackets however, the center ab bracket will need to be bent a bit so that the bracket mount flat with the armor. Using a pair of pliers bend it into place. After installation Afterwards paint the heads of the machine screws white, they are to blend into the color of the armor. It's also recommended adding a dab of E6000 to the screw heads to help prevent the nut from backing off. NOTE: DO NOT use Loctite or an equivalent thread locking chemical as it may be harmful to the ABS material.

6e. Ab to kidney Right side strapping Leaving off from sections 4f and 4g, In this next section I'll be illustrating how to create and install the right side Ab to Kidney connecting elastic strap. Reference pic Using a 3-1/2" or so section of elastic out of the Anovos supplied kit, fold one end over 3/4" and sew. Note: If you're have trouble closing the armor half sections you might want to make the strap a bit longer . Punch a hole in the center of the fold then install a female snap with the head on the non folded side. Double check the strap measurement then measure the distance from the male snap on the ab side to the kidney return edge, subtract 1/2" for stretching. Measure and mark location on the kidney. Apply glue to the elastic or armor and clamp. Let dry

Assembly cont.... 6d. Ab to Kidney left side strapping In this section I'll be illustrating how assembly the left side Ab to Kidney strapping using Anovos supplied components except for paint, which will be needed to paint the rivet heads. Using the following items from the Anovos kit, cut three 1-1/2" strips of the 1" nylon webbing. If you a drilled the holes in the Ab and Kidney as specified in the pre-assembly section, which was 10mm from the edge then you had have a 20mm distance between the two sections holes. Create two sets of holes 20mm apart using a leather punch or other. Install the Anovos supplied rivets in the Ab and Kidney holes with the spit end facing inwards. Install a section of nylon wen webbing followed by the Anovos supplied flat washer Place the head of the rivet on something sturdy. Using a chisel and hammer split the rivet. Once split, using the hammer continue to drive the split ends down until flat. Follow his procedure for the remaining rivets. What it should look like when finished Paint rivet heads Left side finished

Testers Gloss White seem to match pretty well. Left side finished

Converting ANOVOS kit to ESB Centurion

Converting ANOVOS kit to ESB Centurion
ukswrath replied to shaunpug's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
So here's your answer coming from the previous DO... "MK2 was a ROTJ prototype using all ROTJ armor details specifically the white edge trim. If someone is going ESB, I would only support the standard ANH type frown painted black" -
Score x1 sometimes 2 then snap off, exacto knife. I suggest cutting at the cut indents. If you need to trim later then trim, if you need to shim then you'll shim. Hope this helps

Besides the belt bunching up, the hole patching is not considered adequate. Unfortunately not everyone has the skills to make the proper repairs needed for approval. Every approval will still be a case by case basis, if we feel the modification to the belt are adequate there shouldn't be a problem however, if they're not then you may be asked to replace the belt. This decision did not come lightly however, we (the staff) felt the decision was in the best interest of the Centurion level of accuracy.

Actually I used E6000 everywhere except for the arm mount, there I used velcro.

TK-29772 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [RWA] [541]
ukswrath replied to TK29772's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Lee thanks you for your EIB application CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Awesome build, great job. We couldn't help but notice the cool decal you have on your left shoulder bell. Unfortunately decal allowance isn't in the CRL and so cannot be part of your submission photos. If you could please remove the decal and resubmit any photos where it may be shown. Thank you -
