  1. Serial code that can be used on the Steam Game Platform to active and download a copy of the game. It's single use, that's the only reason I'm not posting it public. Would rather someone within the community use it.
  2. As featured on the 501st facebook with the most adorable fan ever! https://www.facebook.com/The501stLegion/photos/a.164650034751.117031.17637574751/10155080167299752/?type=3&theater
  3. On the topic of Battlefront 2... I have a steam key for the game if anyone wants to use it for closeup screenshots/just to give it a playthrough. PM me and I'll send it your way
  4. Useful for the future! I'll include it in the start of my thread in case anyone is sourcing from my links. Painting them wasn't too bad either way, managed to get away with only one tiny pack for $1 at home depot too Although my white-furred cat seems to love getting her fur on anything painted black...
  5. Forward progress. Glued the backings on, plasti-dipped them, them painted them black. Also added on the buttons for the first boxes Vented boxes all set. Not 100% happy with how they sit, but it will do I reckon. And found these at Target that seem to fit the size specs...
  6. Just actually looked through the SWAT forum for the first time... y'all are hard asses over there over accurate emulation! Great job on earning that! Now I'm going to want to do a TD to see if I can cut it to SWAT...
  7. Looking good trooper! Only things I noticed: Need to remove the white paint on the cod/butt plate rivet/snaps. You'll also need to paint your TD screws black. Both of those are for Centurion though so you should be fine for EIB. Just things to do for next level! Your belt is a little low in the front, you'll want it just below the colored plate on the ab Should be an easy EIB, you look awesome!
  8. Want to let me pre-order one Shawn? I know someone in this household that has wanted one since I first showed him ANH
  9. Ewwww! I just hope you air them out!
  10. Done, cheers!
  11. You'll need rubber gloves for EIB and Centurion. All level 2 requirements are "cumulative" into the level 3 requirements. So if nothing else is specified for centurion, you'll need at least the EIB requirements for that item. However, Nomex gloves are really nice for trooping in the hotter months when it gets sweaty and sticky. They're also a bit more maneuverable from my experience. There's nothing saying you can't use either or for trooping. If you really want to use rubber gloves for everything, and live in a place where it gets hot in the summer, I'd suggest silk glove liners for the rubber gloves.
  12. Honestly, I'd buy the bits separately because I think it'd be a bit cheaper. Either way I'd ditch the velcro Anovos strapping and go with snaps or hooks.
  13. I did the exact same thing with my TD, easy to miss! You'll be there in no time
  14. Hey Solomon, great job you're looking awesome! The only problem for EIB I see is your detonator clip position. The clips need to be touching or nearly touching the sides, like this. Moving them over shouldn't be too difficult though. If there's a visible hole from the previous screw, you can fill it with putty and sand/paint over to smooth out the tube. I noticed a couple of other things that I don't think will affect your EIB status but would help the fit/performance. The snaps and rivets on the cod/buttplate strapping shouldn't be painted white for Centurion, so you'll need to remove that paint if you're looking to submit for that. Your hands are showing a lot of area above the gloves, though I think it might just be shifting from wear. You might want to move your forearms a bit lower to "split the difference" between the biceps and the gloves. The inside of your helmet is a bit visible from behind/the sides. You might want to paint the inside black (I personally use plasti-dip), because people love to use flash photography during Troops and it can cause the inside the light up. You can also wear a balaclava to hide some of that, or both even. Finally, your forearms are a bit rotated outward. The bit with the "bumps" should go on the top of the arm, if that makes sense? They probably just rotated from wear, mine do that a lot, but just worth taking a look at Fantastic job Solomon, you should definitely be proud of this build!
  15. I always think of the Death Star Trench Run as the "defining star wars" bit to me. My favoruite scene though is the Imperial conference between Tarkin, Motti, Tagge, et al. It shows us the workings of the Empire (Emperor held back by the Senate, which he just dissolved.) The fears of the officers (Tagge suggesting the rebel alliance is dangerous), and the over confidence of their new battle station ("Dangerous to your starfleet, not this battle station"). It also shows us that there is, infact, some wizardry with "the force", and that Vader can kill a guy just by looking at him.
  16. Cut out all size of the plastic containers... what a pain! Tomorrow they get a sanding, gluing, and a priming.
  17. Alay

    Any good

    Simply put, nope
  18. Good place to start anyways! Do them with velcro so you can remove it if you end up needing to cut some size off them Let us know!
  19. Honestly they don't look awful. You might want to just put some padding inside the thighs to fill the gap rather than resizing them if it's not too too big.
  20. I swear E6000 solves all the problems in my life Can't get my helmet trim to sit right? E6000 My purse clip fell off? E6000 Wooden door stop broke in two? E6000 Depression? Sniff E6000
  21. Your weathering job is awesome Joseph!<br><br> I've bought pouches from Anthony Bailey and they're fantastic, can't recommend him enough. What's his T21s made of? Resin?
  22. You'll 100% want to use a soldering iron or some other thing to cauterize the hole to prevent stretching/tearing. All the ones I didn't do this for I quickly had to redo the strapping on as they slipped off the Tandy Line 24 snaps. if you use KMan's heating way above, be very very careful! Burns not only hurt like no tomorrow, but they're very bad for your skin and take long to heal! Get heat resistant gloves! For the elastic you'll also want to double it over.
