I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the "nomex for trooping" ring. This can get a bit more expensive though since you'll likely need a second set hand guards. I use my accurate rubber gloves for pictures, like for approval or trading cards, but I use nomex gloves when I'm actually trooping. Those chemical gloves get WAY too uncomfortable for me. That and the average person you'll encounter while trooping will never say "Hey! Your gloves aren't rubber! FAKE!" ... So I opt for comfort over accuracy in the field. Like Sarah said, if you want to use the rubber ones while trooping, I'd invest in a liner to keep things a bit less...gross.

Looking good Riley! I just had to make this fix, so I'll save you a little time in the future- going by the front and action pictures, your belt will probably need to be just a little higher up. Should sit right under the buttons. Your side pictures make it look better though... Is it a little loose maybe? Other than that, Sarah already mentioned the rivets that need to be painted. A few quick fixes and I think Cloud City Garrison has another EIB!

Thanks everyone!

Thank you Tony! I'm honored!

Thank you! Secret is lots of Apoxie Sculpt and hours of sanding!...So much sanding... I still see sandpaper in my dreams some nights. Ah yes! I've been considering this for a while but I keep putting it off for some reason. I think that I was hoping for something cool to come along to stick in there... But nobody would see it anyway, I suppose! I guess I'll stick with foam.

Update: My belt was a little too low, so I raised it up to a more accurate level (I hope. ;P ).

Congrats Shawn! I've been silently following this, but I figured I should say something!

There we go! A trip to the store, a few dollars and 2 minutes of work later: Thanks again for the positive comments, guys!

Thanks guys! I knew that I was going to forget a picture or two. Here's the side shim picture that I meant to add (I can take more tonight if needed): I somehow managed to take this picture at a weird angle, so you can't see the cutout. It's present in a picture in the original post. Just so it doesn't seem like I'm hiding it- It's probably a good time to bring up that I'm a bit uncertain about how the cutout works on my fatty shims. I think that I might have to extend the cut all the way back but I didn't want to do it without being told first, just to be safe! As for the elastic, I'll get that all fixed up after work! I have some non-roll elastic left from making my shins. If anybody sees this before tonight, is that type too textured for this purpose or does it matter?

Thank you for your time and consideration. (Please pardon the interior of my armor. Adding the shims made a total mess of things!)

Accessories: (Note: The blaster pictures are the same that I used on my EIB application, so they're a litter older. Nothing has changed though.) (Just showing the electronics. There's lots of hot glue in there and it's cramped! Everything is in the bucket though.) Shims: (I'm just adding this section to show how I got Anovos armor to fit me. I know it isn't totally necessary.) Split the ab plate and added the shim Details were added back on using Apoxie Sculpt Same with the kidney plate

Thanks guys! =)

Thank you! I will fix the issues that you brought up before submitting my Centurion application! I greatly appreciate the feedback =)

Here ya go, Tony! Hopefully these pictures show the weathering better. I also went out and blasted a few more rebels, just to be sure.

No problem, Tony! I'll take some closer pictures when I get home from work. You're correct, though. The lighting really washed out the weathering I added there. I'll add a little more for good measure anyway! =)

That DLT-19 is gorgeous! I also really like what you did to the top of the filter cone on your backpack.
