Engineering trooper

So I was doing some maintenance on my armour, and got a little too aggressive with my screw driver, ending up with some dimple marks. Any ideas on how to fix them? thanks!

Thanks to everyone! Will get on the updates as soon as Fan Expo is over, less than 2 weeks to prep, lots to do!

Ok so weathered up (down?) my pauldron, T21 and backpack, pictures attached. Tony, do you need a set of shots of me fully kitted, or will the individual pieces/parts do to cover the weathering update? See attached. Thanks!

Thanks everyone appreciate it! Will try to get the pieces/parts a bit more on the dingy side

Thanks! Ended up capping it off, see pix. Ready to submit for EIB...

What about for EIB and Centurion? I was accepted with the original CRL, have changed my pouches to leather, but still have my antenna. If I submit for EIB this week, is the antenna still acceptable? thanks, Jim

Thanks, checked it out, gives some good information. Any other thoughts, ideas?

So the Canadian Garrison is going to be at FanExpo Canada in a few weeks, and as part of it we always do the Stormtrooper march. We want to look sharp this year, as we have a bunch of new members (myself included!), and Albin Johnson is coming to visit! With that said, we wanted to do some drilling before the event, and was wondering if there is a manual of arms for marching? So far we have references from You Tube from the US Air Force for the basics for facings, stance, but nothing directly for movement/positioning of he rifle (as the E11 is a bit smaller than a normal rifle ). Based on the movies, I thought that the Present Arms position might be with the E11 held in both hands at about a 20-30 degree tilt up. An idea I had was maybe the Order Arms position might be with the blaster moved to the side of the thigh armour, hand holding the grip of the rifle, barrel pointing down. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks! Jim

Thanks everyone, it is an honour to join the Centurion ranks! I especially appreciate all of the support along the journey to get here.<br><br> Next, EIB for HWT!

Updated full body pictures, and one of my strapping for the rivet sides. Please see below. Thanks!

Here's a link to my EIB thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41117-tk-12638-requesting-anh-stunt-eib-status-rt-mod-706/?p=550945 Please let me know if there are any issues with the pictures, had some problems with the links. Also, I will be updating a few of the Centurion pictures based on Joseph's comments and an issue that came up with stress cracks along my rivets (had to change to elastic strapping) Thanks, Jim

Will get that fixed! Would have done the pix tonight, but was doing HWT for a May the 4th event

Thanks! Appreciate the input! Will work on the fixes to go for Centurion!

Thanks all!<br><br><br> Just did my second troop today in the HWT armour, went really well, thought that T21 can get a bit heavy after a while

Just for Info, also got approved for HWT!!

ANH Stunt approved as of Sunday Night! HWT pictures are in for evaluation, putting in EIB application for Stunt today First troop this weekend at Toronto Comicon! Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way on this journey!! Jim

Thanks! Ready to submit but not allowed yet as I don't have permission to post yet. <br><br> Asked for my Legion access on the thread 501st Trooper Status Requests (Include link to your 501st profile in your request!), waiting for a reply. Late afternoon update: Just got my access...

Randy, Think I am pretty good for EIB, any thoughts based on my photos?

Most parts were local, list of what is required came from Ukswrath's (Tony) build thread. Most stuff is available in Canada, but some (paint especially) was in the US only, but you could probably substitute. Tony had links to some of the specialty stuff, such as the food containers (Amazon I believe). The oil pan I had to order off of a specialty website, had it shipped to the US. Will try to give a better list after Comicon...
