SuperTrooper

With the additional pics EIB approved, and only a week after your 18th B-day.

THE HF E-11 is just a hair heavier than an unmodded Hasbro. It's far lighter than a resin blaster.

EIB approved again. Great looking setup.

Great build trooper, EIB approved.

Just need the helmet details shots and a pic of the other side of your blaster and you should be good to go. If you want to go overboard you could shorten the holster straps, but that won't keep you from EIB.

EIB approved.

EIB approved.

Double checked the incinerator trooper references, and all I can say is WOW. That and EIB approved. Great job trooper.

Great build, only thing we need to see is the butt plate should be below the belt not under it.

EIB approved as soon as we see the butt plate under the belt. Sooooo close.

Thanks everyone. Had a busier than normal day, but had a nice dinner out with the family a day early. BTW Brian, I'm 32.

Yes a bumpy cap is EIB approvable.

Why not post it here and share with the rest of us?

Remember the CRLs are guidelines, not hard requirements. A stunt helmet with 10 teeth cut is still more that 501st worthy.

Link fixed.

With the 127 in the title I never looked in the thread to review it, as I thought it was done. Thanks for the PM Gordon. EIB approved, sorry for the delay.

That is also the same figure with errors that is in the Tantive IV pack from a few years back.

You make your GML's job easy.

WOW Pete, that's an awesome suit. Literally looks like you walked off the set.

E-6000 is totally safe on HIPS, but will soften the plastic if you use too much. Seth made a tutorial about it back in the day and long story short you apply a very thin layer to each piece that you want to glue together, let them sit a few minutes and them sick them together. E-6000 can't be used like elmers or super/CA glue, it's a contact cement.

OK sorry for being late to the party. For some reason last night the pictures would not completely load no matter how many times I tried. On to the armor. You already have an ANH EIB designation so the thread is a nice show off of your stunt. I feel ANH Hero and stunt will be separated eventually, but there will need to be more definitive distinctions made on the requirements first. I feel your pain on getting armor to fit properly as I'm nothing close to screen accurate troopers (I'm 6'1.5" 215lbs). I think being a dual EIB folks are trying to point out the nuances trying to get your armor to the next level. Of course we always feel different when it's our armor being critiqued and tone rarely comes off correctly when typed vs spoken. Wise words once shared with me: Read everything on forums in a Homer Simpson voice because no one can get mad at Homer. On to the review. The helmet is fine as is after you add the stripe on the ear. For EIB requirements only the biggest issue I see is the back of the thighs. I read that you don't have shims, which is great, but there is something off about them. It could be the way they are assembled, or the way the halves are aligned. More pictures would be helpful to getting them dialed in. Outside of EIB and taking your fitting up another notch. I'd tighten up the biceps or if they are snug at the top taper them towards the bottom. The armor bites can be eliminated by tightening up the forearms so they are form fitting because if they can't slide around they can't pinch with the bicep. You can also shorten your bicep strap a hair too if they continue. I just suffer through them and have black and blue bruises for a few days and chalk it up to the rigors trooping. Looking over your pics above, do you have straps from the inside of your bicep to the inside of the shoulder bell?

Happy Birthday Brian. :dancing-trooper:

The only tweak I'd recommend is moving your drop box straps farther out. Ideally they would be in line with the outer belt rivet covers. EIB approved, nice job trooper.

Don't know how I missed this thread. ESB EIB approved.
