  1. If it's alright with Ukswrath, I'm compiling the main information of this build into a searchable .pdf.  I figured that way someone could DL it so they're not tied to the internet when building their suit with included FAQ section including many of the side questions asked in this thread.  It also combines some elements from the Anovos guide (pictures and such).  

     

    If you don't want it going out to anyone, that's alright....it'll just be my reference guide when building this as it will definitely help me be more familiar with the building process.

     

    Also, another question for you.....did you remove more return edge on the pieces to make a better fit?  I notice that the return edge on some of your pieces is quite a bit less than the Anovos pre-cut lines.  On the forearms, is it the wrist or elbow side that has no return edge?

    Perfect, thank you!  I'll definitely give that a look over and probably start trimming out my pieces tonight as I think most of the requirements come in the form of how it's put together, the gloves, belt, hand plates, etc.

     

    I do have a few questions though.  In regards to "no return edges" does that mean that the pieces have to be flush?  The example being the left over material around the eyes on the Anovos helmet that really need to be trimmed down?  

     

    Also, has anyone else's helmet had this issue?

    I kinda felt that the rubber around the bottom of the helmet should have held up more than just one day before starting to come apart.  I think it's nothing that some super glue would fix though.  Otherwise, the adhesive for the velcro on the hard hat system in the hat is already coming undone.  I plan on replacing that with motorcycle padding or helmet padding of some sort as it doesn't provide a good fit right now as it is.

  3. I got mine yesterday and looked it over.  As this is my first armor kit, I thought it was nice...but the helmet will definitely need some love.  I'm going to give everything a good look over tonight/tomorrow.  I want to hold off on assembling as I would like to have a hard list of what mods I should do to hit Centurion level for 501st Approval (If you're going to do something, do it right and aim high).  

     

    Is someone planning on making a thread that solidly outlines the mods that it would take to hit Centurion level or EIS and continuously update it as needed?
