Hi Johan, they indeed look quite bulky and much bigger than the forearms. I made the upper armor so big that there are two fingers space when I contract my biceps muscle. I would suggest that you reduce the size of upper arms and try them again, using painters tape to hold them together. But don’t cut off any material until you are happy with the look and feel of the parts. Cheers Christian

As much as I love my Anovos TK, I wouldn’t order one a second time. Their delivery time is way too long and if you need replacement parts I assume that you will never get any. But If you can get an unmade kit from someone else for a good price it's definitely an option. Cheers Christian

Congratulations! Welcome to the ranks.

If you are looking for maximum movie accuracy go for RS. Shepperton is ok but RS is way more accurate.

For the main connections I used the delivered velcro to install the snaps and glued the velcro with E-6000 onto the armor. For the few parts the velcro didn’t work well I used scrap ABS. You have more then enough after trimming. This way the only parts I had to buy were the snaps. I’m not sure where to buy a complete strapping kit. Didn’t find one at Trooperbay. But why buying stuff you already have?

I absolutely recommend the solution posted by themaninthesuitcase. I successfully repaired some cracks of my Anovos armor using that method. Instead of superglue I used E6000. Good luck with the repair! Christian

Thank you for sharing your story with us. It was great fun to read it! Great job!

Congratulations to your BBB -Day. A long waiting time gave me the patience to soak in all the precious information that lead me to Centurion. I see that you are well prepared too. I wish you the best of luck for your build as well a steady hand, a level head and a sharp eye. Cheers Christian

Hi Sergio, congratulations to your armor. RS is making great quality. Though adjustments are needed if you buy a fully commissioned armor that is not made to your individual size. For a basic approval a small gap should be no problem. But if you want a more accurate look close it. Installing shims is the solution... or reducing your size.

Great build! :-)

Great work!

Great work so far.

Wow! I must confess that I'm a bit jealous.

Hi mate, I didn't buy a Blaster from one of the linked vendors but after having a look at the two Blasters I would choose the first one because it is looking more accurate. The Shepperton Blaster is missing the D-Ring and the charging handle. The etsy-Blaster has no recoil spring but the end cap is removable so a spring is easy to install if you want one. Both Blaster should be fine for basic approval but the Shepperton will need the D-Ring and charging handle for higher levels. Then the etsy- seller is in Canada and the shipping will be faster and cheaper. IMHO the price is ok for a completely assembled Blaster. Cheers Christian

I had some cracks at several areas of my Anovos armor. I reinforced the area by laminating thin stripes of canvas with E6000 at these areas. That worked well so fare. Cheers Christian

Perhaps the manufacturer of the trim used some kind of oil to protect or preserve the rubber that caused the yellowing of the ABS. You can clean the trim and try again on some scrap ABS. Cheers Christian

Looking good now. Just like the vocoder Tony posted.

Great work! The helmet is looking great again!

Congratulations! Welcome to the Centurion ranks!

I uploaded the pictures I used for my blaster Stand to my Blaster-Album: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.meyer-zurwelle.de/Novak%20Dimon%C2%B4s%20E11/Display%20Stand/index.html'>http://www.meyer-zurwelle.de/Novak%20Dimon%C2%B4s%20E11/Display%20Stand/index.html</a>

The CLR don't say that you need a return edge.

I installed a snap at the little straps of the boots and the counterpart at the shin. This prevents any movement of the shin.

To avoid that we talk to the local police prior of an event to get a permit to carry replica weapons and inform the authorities about it. That makes sure that in the unlikely event that someone is calling the police because of armed persons, the officer on the phone is knowing what's going on. That system is working great so far.

Great job! Looking awesome!!

I bought a Hyperfirm E11 and a Bapty E11 in the US last year. German customs were mainly interested in the price to charge import taxes. The officer looked at the blasters, classified them as toys and asked for a bill of sales to calculate the import fee. Toy guns that look like real ones have to be stored in a locked container for transport. Important: Airsoft Guns with auto fire and an energy over 0.5 Joule are forbidden in Germany. All other airsoft guns with an energy over 7.5 Joule are classified as live weapons and you need a permit to own them.
