RoboTrooper

Thank you Andrew. I will get my pics up and posted and go ahead and get EI as soon as I can. I am waiting on a reply for another chest and bridges. Once I get them, I will go for Centurion.

Thank you Paul for your input. I got a couple pics of what I mean. When I bend over it doubles the gap. I put in a price check with Mike at MTK just to know what I am up against.

Should I buy another and redo it before Centurion submission or will it be ok?

I'm going to try and shorten the elastic from the back to the kidney a little more. The only thing I think might happen is like the right side. If it gets to much pull, it unsnaps. This issue is the only reason I haven't tried for EIB/Centurion before. I only need to get gloves and change the snaps on the cod other than that.

It was in the early days of the learning process. If I knew then what I know now. I can guarantee this, I wont make that mistake on my TX.

I did add another snap to the elastic to let it drop but it was starting to jump the Strap when I bent over and I ended up with a crack in the right one. But I that I fixed.

The only problem I want to avoid is having my armor be a different shade of white. The ATA is different and I have seen it show a few times in some lighting.

Back in 2015 when I started my first build, I was trying to make it as screen accurate as I could. I didn't have help with any of it other than watching videos and reading a lot. I followed the shoulder strap placement and made sure I did it five bumps to the top of the Chest Plate. I used CA Glue so I was stuck with it there. My Chest Plate sits just right but I have a 1 - 2 inch gap between my Back and Kidney Armor. How much of a bad mark will it be if I try for Infantryman/centurion? I would like to get approved before I Troop it to death. I am at 21 Troops in the past year. Oh, I am just a bit over 6 foot tall and 215 pounds. I put in some pics to show you. When I lean forward you can see in two of the pics the amount it goes. And, you can see I don't have much left on the back of the strap to drop it down. My Armor: MTK, Helmet: ATA.

Congratulations Peter!

Can't wait to find out the results!

Try this for thought. Added it to the front but center chest and not left. This would leave room on either side for name tags and what not. I know this is on a white tee, but it would also look good on a light grey, ice grey. Not any heather or sport greys. I like the clean look myself. Oh and yes, I fixed the error in spelling that spell check missed "1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment"! -----------------

Only had few hours to put something together for you all. Nothing to crazy, just simple and clean. Three colors on back. The front I will leave up to you but I like this one. Hope its ok for you guys! Oh, and I don't know why the pics wouldn't show here. It's been a long day EDITED: Uploaded new images. ---------------------

Thanks starsaber25. I'll send him a message and see what he says.

I understand and agree with the more accurate way. I also like the RS. Never found a price or a kit for sale but would like to get one.

Hello all! Got a question about using two helmets with my MTK armor. I want to use the helmet that came with my kit but would like to add a second. Any ideas as to which one ( ATA, etc ) would match the color of my armor? Or how about where to get another MTK Helmet kit? Thanks!
