I can't remember the exact details, this post is from October, but this reply was more or less verbatim on several threads. I seem to remember there was some discussion on one of those posts but I may well be wrong. I was at the con mentioned in his post but I was busy trooping for the UKG and by the time I was done everything was over for the day so I don't get a chance to look in detail. Facts I can give you are as follows: the original armour won't clear. The new armour? I've no idea as I've not seen it. If he's at MCM again in spring I'll try find time to go look properly. But ultimately most critism has been acknowledged by the seller. You're right we should have probably called him out on some more of the issues, like the virtual office address on the website and why are all the images on the site from Asia? However we have a number of known good sellers people will be happy to recommend to you. They have proven track records and sell products known to be accurate enough to clear. I'm not going to tell you who to give you're money to. I will however only recommend people I feel deserve it and as of yet I don't feel I can personally recommend this kit until I've seen it and probably held it.

For the Anovos helmet paints I used a mix of humbrol enamel thinners (Hobby craft), Isoproyl Alcohol (local pharmacy) and white spirit. I think I cover what I used for what bits in my build thread, see my sig. Be warned the thinners will chew through the transfers for the traps and stripes REALLY easily. edit: from http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35424-themaninthesuitcase-anovos-ahn-stunt-build/?p=477552 " The frown was removed using the Humbrol enamel thinners." You don't need to go as far as I did though, I chose to do a full repaint.

The ROTJ CRL has some photo issues such as ANH images for a few parts, the staff are working to get these corrected. It would appear that the same image is used on the TKC CRL.

That works, just that one stood out a lot given I've looked at that section more than you normally would. If it's in hand I'll leave that part alone.

Question is are the permissible or mandatory? EIB: No visible rivets are allowed. could become Visible rivets are permitted between the 3rd and 4th bar. Which works for both mandatory and permissible. Cent: These are affixed in the front (no snaps, rivets or brads are visible). Permited: These are affixed in the front (no snaps or brads are visible, though rivets are allowed between the 3rd and 4th bar). Mandatory: These are affixed in the front with a rivet between the 3rd and 4th bar. (Can some one check I can count, I wouldn't trust me). The rear attachment would remain unchanged. Edit: might be better phrased as "a single rivet between the 3rd and 4th bars" or some ones going to use 2+ on each. Would also be a good time to change the image to an ROTJ build with rivets rather than an ANH one.

TM is great, no doubt but there are less expenive options avilable in the UK. Again it's where you want to be on the price vs quality diagram. Best bet: Head over to the UK Garrision http://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/. Sign up there, post an intro thread saying where you've gotten to and the armourer team will be able to help you get into the correct armour for you. That may be TM, RS or it may be something else, we have options here. If you want some guidance on the (roughly 4-5) armour options feel free to message me though I'd still recommend signing up anyway as you'll need to eventually to start your WIP for clearance. Chris. ps: Surrey + that logo = Woking area?

Yeah, I'd stear of that one. Some really odd bits on that bucket. If you want some guidance feel free to PM me. Chris.

Welcome done Kev, welcome to Centurion!

That's the closest I got. As Paul says it all flys past pretty fast and theres not a single shot thats in focus/slow enough to have a sporting chance to get a clear view of the bit we need to see.

Also check out ShearTech, they do both resin and rubber blasters from the UK.

From what I am told First Order is less tolerant of non-ideal fit than the OT trooper.

I have a feeling you're confusing 2 people here. 1 the seller of the recast First Order TK, 2 supplier of "less than ideal" armour to boogie storm. Either way, you can do better.

Looking good Kev, good luck!

There's abeen a lot of to and fro on colours (not just on the Kama). The colours on these images aren't great, but black is fairly well agreed upon here. The browns are coming from the weathering and black tends to fade to brown also. It's something army surplus adapred to fit, I forget what though.

Well done Kev!

Looking good, but you need to show the TD screws too I think. Good luck Kev.

So long as the end result looks right I don't think any material is banned.

Looks good to me, good luck Marc!

I'd do those over personally. When I did mine I did one side at a time to get a proper flat join. You'll need magnets to help clamp the middles when you close the loop though.

Mines setup almost exactly like Paul's photos. I just used 1" webbing to make the snap plates and 1" elastic with a single snap at each end. Just slide in from the side and do up 2 side snaps and the cod and you're in.

If you're short on clamps I got a load of the 79p ones on Wilko. I bought them out a few times, they've all been pinched for stuff round the house now.

Yes. There's one approved who designed some files for a full armour who's approved in the US, not sure which garrison. I have the files and they are really good and he's working on accuracy changes too.

Looks like Marc beat me to it. I'll personally vouch for RWA, not that it counts for much, but I'm betting I'll not be alone. The kit may not be well known on FISD but to jump straight to that conclusion is a touch reckless.

I don't know the exact count but there's at least 1 RWA centurion, probably a few more but you'd need to scan through the forum.

Well done mate, hard works paid off!
