  1. Not an EIB issue but it looks like you're sniper wants to catch. If that happens a block of upholstery foam in the front of the shin and/or behind the thigh knee will help hold the pieces away from each other and stop it catching.

     

    For more accuracy you'll also want to swap out the tip mesh for something a bit less dense.

     

    But in all an excellent looking build, love the DLT.

     

    Good luck trooper.

    Thank you for the comments, they are much appreciated! I think the angle of the photos make the sniper knee look like more of an issue than it really is. There is actually more clearance below the thigh than it appears. I also have a block of foam behind the knee, like you suggested... it worked wonders! Did a parade a few weeks back and all the parts worked well together... only problem to report was a blister =)

     

    ...and by the way, those power cylinders on my E-11 are your design!

    Thank you for your consideration...

    This is my first build (with hopefully many more to come) & I have been having a blast trooping in it.

    Many thanks to all those who contribute to FISD to help get us rookies through the build process and into the ranks of the 501st!

  3. Great thread and info... I'm actually in the midst of a Hyperfirm decision right now. Deciding what to get between a b-grade E-11, a DLT-19, and a scout pistol.

     

    Thinking I will definitely get the scout since it is off a new mold and looking really sharp (planning a TB build in the next year or so)

    I really want (but definitely don't need) the DLT-19. Once again it is off a new mold, and sharp... and these just look badass lol.

    I have been on the fence with the E-11 B-grade. I only have a handful of troops under my belt so far & have been using a modified Rubies blaster which actually looks pretty good but I still need to add some power cylinders & a D-ring. The nice thing about the Rubies is I don't have to worry if it gets dropped or broken because I only have about $15 invested in the project. I also have a full Doopy's kit on hand to build a more accurate version to use for my EIB and Centurion submission so I really cant decide if I want to spend another $160 to on an additional E-11.

     

    If anybody has any thoughts or input, please chime in!

     

    Also, I heard from another member of my Garrison that Hyperfirm may not be putting out blasters too much longer. Has anyone else heard this rumor? If it's not true then it would make my decision much easier as I won't feel I need to buy more than I can comfortably afford at the moment to stockpile for the future!

  4. Good morning from Columbus, Ohio!

    Like so many others, I crossed an item off my bucket list by ordering a Classic TK kit from ANOVOS.

    Now my kit is due to arrive next week, which is WAY ahead of schedule... which means I am WAY behind in starting my research lol.

    I am here because I heard this was the best Stormtrooper reference source in the galaxy & am looking forward to learning all I can!
