Wow, I had no idea! How did I get into the Hall of Fame? What an honor! Thank you FISD!

Beautiful work! What kit is that?

Great work! I'm downloading them now...hope I can get my printer to cooperate. Anyone wanna print this on commission?

What a great looking pack. Those files will be very helpful when I finally get mine going. I've sourced a lot of the parts, but I just don't like what I've been able to put together.

OK, it's time for me to get off my butt and do this... Gathering intel. Need to see what I should fix and what I can ignore (for now).

Nice job! Inspiration for me to finish mine.

Yeah, not a fan myself, but that's the trend these days. Here's the library's page. Still as 2019 info, but this is where it will be updated. https://www.jolietlibrary.org/index.php/en/star-wars-day

This is from the Joliet Star Wars Day in Joliet, Illinois. Every year, on the first Saturday in June, the library hosts an event. If you are on Facebook, there is a page for it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1821662274828451/ I've gone the last 2 years and it is always a fun day.

Awesome, thanks! I've printed it out and will be comparing my armor to it and making the necessary corrections!

I'm working towards EIB, but I want to be sure I have all the current information. Is the posted CRL (https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt) current? I'd like to make sure I have everything right the first time.

Looks fantastic! I initially thought the weathering was a bit heavy, but seeing it all together it really is well done!

I can sit in mine. Kinda...

Welcome...you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. BTW, LOVE my ATA armor! Already thinking about another set - and I've only had mine complete for a few months!

What's the source for the hooks? I've looked at every hardware store around me and just can't find them. I did find some on Amazon, but I can't tell what size you are using.

Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback. I have 2 more troops this year, coming up this weekend, then it's back to the bench to fix and correct the items mentioned above. All are simple fixes and shouldn't take much work at all. Such a great community, glad to be a part of it!

Already approved by my GML, but I know there's a few things to tweak (i.e. elbows, thigh cover strips, and drop boxes have all been mentioned previously). All input appreciated. Detail shots can be supplied if needed.

Yeah, the arms gave me fits. I didn't like the look, but was tired of fighting them. Should be an easy fix. Return edge on the chest armor is an area I noted that needed trimmed back after wearing it for a few hours. Minor trimming. Thanks for pointing it out!

ooooh boy, here it comes...

So, now that discussion is going...here's the rest of it. I'll have to take a few detail shots for some things, but if there's anything else you guys see, please let me know!

I wondered about the bells. I've got quite a bit of return edge, so I can pull them in for sure. The biceps won't be too bad to move either, just need to shorten the strap holding them to the shoulder bells. Simple to do. The boxes and thigh cover strips have been noted, and will be fixed as well. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the feedback Dan, and the complements. All very helpful - and things I wondered about when building. I can fix these all pretty easily. The easiest will be the dropboxes, as they are removable. It's ATA armor, so the boxes have both the front and full-closing rear. I didn't glue them together, but did glue the elastic to each side. They use velcro to hold the two sides together. Simply need to adjust the length of the straps. The cover strip won't be too bad either. Looks like the gap between the halves is filled as well? Simple fix. I will add that to the list. You're correct on the ab buttons as well. I can clip the sides back a bit and be good. I just finished reading the links posted above, and it looks like a few other minor tweaks and I should be able to hit Centurion!

Thanks! I'll have to look at the requirements for EIB and Centurion, but I'm interested. Please, share your suggestions!

So, after a LONG time I finally got back to the build. I finished it a couple weeks back, debuted it "unofficially" at two troops to work out the kinks. I was approved tonight!

Same here. I reset password, cleared cache, shut down, restarted, made a sacrifice to the gods, all to no avail...
