Hi guys, This called my attention. I have a couple of observations as ideas for improving size and cost, having worked on stuff similar to this for my degree. you can fit LCD shutters (samsung smart TVs use similar stuff for 3D glasses) on the visor easily enough, with a micro usb camera on the teeth, all wired to a Single Board Computer like an Aaeon UP Squared or an Nvidia Jetson/Xavier (depending on specs I would go for Nvidia because of real-time graphic processing), they can fit on the back plate just the same with a 3Dprinted case and you could have the whole thing working for $500 at 1/4 the size and weight for extended periods of time with a lithium ion battery for power. It could work for an entire troop no problem. size on the helmet would be minimal depending on the camera used because lcd shutters are extremely thin. Let me know if you have any questions and would love to see a prototype. Best Regards Javier

Hi, the armor looks good, all the issues that could be address have already being mentioned so good louck on basic approval. Local GML has the last word on approval conditions.

Congrats and welcome to the ranks of the FISD and the 501st!!! we are always happy to welcome new members!! we look forward to your EIB and Centurion applications although you could go straight to Centurion. I dont think you need to go through EIB to get to Centurion. Good luck and let us know if we can help you in any way

congratz on your approval trooper!!! welcome to the ranks of the FISD. As joseph said, share your knowledge and stay active on the forum so others can benefit from your experience.

Congrats and Welcome to the Legion and FISD!!

I havent used E6000 since its not available in my country, I used blue UHU for plastics and its STRONG... it fuses the parts together, no trace of glue left but its kind of permanent, no ungluing once its there. I hope this is useful

armors are usually made for 5'8 through 6' so if you are 6'1" you may have to adjust the level on thighs and arms so theres as little gap as possible but otherwise ok. Height is not really a problem unless you have basketball player height, but when you are a little too wide you may have gaps on the sides or armor parts wont fit well. Then again, like Joseph said, a picture is worth a thousand words Matt so send your pictures and we can help you further. I have an Anovos armor and they are made for 6' tops and Im 6'1" so i had to watch the gaps here and there but it fits awesome, actually im a little too thin so the armor jiggles in some parts lol.

could you please clarify the names of the armors? since I dont get the TM RS AP acronyms and yes I think TM look the best... Im not very into "battle damage"

Congratulation on your approval trooper and your EIB. Good luck with Centurion and keep up the good work

Congratulations on the approval and first troop Tom. We are always a hit. The 501st is a magnet for attention and even more with us the TKs so take it all in and enjoy the troops to come! dont forget to request 501st access and you can also start the road to EIB or Centurion

Congratulations trooper!!! now remember to request 501st access on the forums and that you armor is never truly finished lol now you can begin the road to EIB or Centurion hehe
