    Hi and thank you.  I have read it all and have all of my stuff in order.  Would I just resubmit the same information after EIB for Centurion?  Seems redundant.  I am sorry, I am asking this in the most sincere and honest way. 

    You'll need to submit your costume for EIB.  Once you've been approved at EIB, you'll have to submit again as Centurion.  The reason for the second submission is because some fixes may be required/requested for your approval at each level :)

    I have a pic of me in my armour, but can't upload it cause of file size...

    Hey Dave, try uploading it to a site like imgur.com then posting a link here!  If possible, starting up a build thread with specific questions, your progress, etc will go a long way to keeping focused and hands on discussion :)  Something in this section here:

    https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

     

    The SDS armor has some drawbacks to it in terms of accuracy, and some stuff (such as the mentioned ear bumps for a hero variant) may need to be adjusted for Centurion level stuff, but you should have no problems getting it to a 501st approvable level if built correctly.  

     

    I'd also suggest you reach out to your local garrison as a recruit and let them know you're working on a Stormtrooper.  Often there are build parties where you can get hands on help and ask questions; you may even have a local attache to give Stormtrooper specific knowledge in depth :)

  10. MissionTrooper's First Build

    I use canvas to strap thighs to my garter belt.  I like to pull them really tight personally and the nylon doesn't wear out as bad as the elastic would.

     

    You could try cutting an extra piece of ABS to "sandwich" the nylon with E6000 if bonding is an issue.  Also lightly sanding the area it'll be glued to rough it up might help it bond better.

     

    Like @gmrhodes13 said, think long term if you can... I've had to completely restrap mine once already in 3 years, and probably coming up on a second one soon.  :)

    Good call!  I wasn't even aware that was necessary... how do I go about that?

    PM your old or (to be) new Garrison Commanding Officer.  Let them know you moved and what territory you'll be in, and ask they transfer.  The rest is up to them! :)

    Absolutely heartbreaking.  Peter was a truly marvelous guy and has touched the lives of so many who have met him.

     

    I found his own words on Carrie Fisher's passing particularly meaningful

    Quote

    It's okay to grieve.

    Our Princess: We in the Star Wars family have had a very difficult week with the passing of Carrie Fisher, and her mother. We are grieving. For most of us, it's real grief, whether you met her or not, we all knew her. But it's New Year's weekend, and a lot of us will be getting together with "our family" to ring in the New Year. If you are at a show where we are, and plan to stop by our table, we want you to know it's ok. Talk about Carrie, mention her, share condolences. We grieve with you. And then, tell a joke and be happy, because it's what she would want us to do. She was a one of a kind, the emotional roller coaster is one we are all riding on together. Most importantly, as in all things Carrie Fisher, be real. May the Force be with you.

    Peter Mayhew
