Hi folks, here is my EIB application for ANH Stunt. Please note, I don't wish to progress this particular armour beyond EIB Armour - SDS Battle Spec Helmet - SDS Battle Spec Gloves/handplates - ISD Undersuit - Extreme Racing one piece Neck seal - Rebel Scum Workshop Boots - Hand painted chelsea style Holster - Hand made by me Belt - Tatooine Traders Blaster - Doopydoos modified E-11 Height - 6ft Weight - 13st 4lbs Front Back Left Left arm raised Right Right arm raised Action

What's the base helmet material?

Beautiful

Lol - Why not get the materials together for weathering - brushes, pigments, whatever. Pick up a big sheet of white plastic (probably for nothing, if you ask around retail outlets), and practice the weathering on that? Or even make something cheap in the meantime. I'll be starting on a gonk droid soon, whilst I save for a TK upgrade. Should cost no more than £50 ($60?)

What's your budget?

My money is on the crates being used to transport the Kyber crystals (mined on Jedha?) used to power the Deathstar's laser.

Then i'd still save for a good kit, get it cleared, enjoy trooping in some beautiful, shiny TK kit THEN buy a cheap one to tinker with

Personally, if I were to start over, i'd just save the money hard and buy good stuff first time round. I got caught up in a 'I just want a stormtrooper outfit' mode, bought a set, then had to make loads of mods to it because I couldn't afford a 'decent' kit. I'd use the extra time to do as much research as possible. I'd even buy a helmet kit first, build that, finish it THEN get the full armour. Just my 2p

For ROTJ variant?

You may also need to trim the ammo plate, so it has 90 degree angles at top corners and rounded at bottom corners.

I have two of these. Make sure you get larger size if you're anywhere near the upper limit of a sizing.

I think the rank marking on the ears was all I had to do to helmet for basic (A Sharpie is easiest). But I also painted the frown a bit better, too, and plan to remove the decals and paint instead. (Some of the points in my snagging list link won't necessarily be required by your garrison btw)

I'd add that, instead of doing what I did, in future, i'd make the rear joins butt joints, not glueing overlaps and adding coverstrips.

Hi Mike, take a look at my (almost complete) snagging list for SDS armour. After all this stuff, the armour is pretty much ready for level 2 <br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36274-sds-shepperton-design-studios-snagging-list-ukg-501st/?hl=snagging'>http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36274-sds-shepperton-design-studios-snagging-list-ukg-501st/?hl=snagging</a>

Must admit, I like a bit of space around the Adam's apple.

'Tis a real beaut!

I can only speak for the hand guards, as it's all i've had from them. They were 'B' grade painted natural latex. I can't really see any imperfections tbh, and they look very nice.<br><br> ISD seem to have good reputation within the UK Garrison.

Aaw

Is it possible that they have a helper/chaperone who triggers relevant phrases remotely?

Pretty much where I have mine. Velcro seems to dampen any potential for vibration noise, too.
