Hi Christine, thanks for your advice, I actually spent this afternoon seeing them all by hand to stop them from fraying.... I was doing that when you posted in my build thread earlier..... so my elastic is no longer fraying .... oh if I were to take a lighter to them I’d likely burn a hole in the armour .... I’m bad enough with s heat gun .... lol Didn’t realise the heat sealing iron would do it.... will have a try on some spare elastic and then .... well might as well do that as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for your kind words and looking in on my build thread, I agree re the drop boxes.... I need to glue them.... keep forgetting..... it’s my age .... lol The the ab buttons, just looked at them and yeah .... they seem a tad big, the thing is I replaced the previous ones because they were too small ..... perhaps it will be third time lucky Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks re the interior of my lid, I do think I need to do something better than the foam padding, but it works for me, and my granddad always said “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” The the lenses, Not too sure about low light, they are fine in my garage with the lights on, which I guess is the same as being inside any other reasonably lit building Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can see the CRL.... biker scout must have own R1 .... only joking .... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Christine, it was your build thread that made me think, perhaps I can do this, and I’m so glad I tried.... mine you both you and Frank and the guys on the UKG gave me so many tips on how to do things, and encouragement when I hit the inevitable brick walls, I really couldn’t have done it without you all.... thanks Haha... riding without a crash helmet on is illegal over here, might try it in the garden when it’s warmer In the mean time.... my impression of a biker scout..... I don’t think it will get clearance Have applied for EIB... so fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Matt, No unfortunately I didn’t, been thinking of taking them off and doing it, but they are stuck very hard so may leave it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, that looks fantastic. The RS lids are wonky but I must admit that’s what I love about them. Re the lenses ... I got some replacement ones from the Imperial Supply Depot here in the U.K. They are great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your armour looks fantastic mate. Nice work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve not a clue when I will do an induction.... I want ti get EIB and Centurion like Clive and Mark advised you before I get branded with the UKG logo .... so that first, currently reading all the rules re trooping I love the advice to questions from the public: Where did you get your armour from? “Standard Empire issue” Can I borrow / have a close look at your blaster? “It is against Empire regulations” Loads to learn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations Daniel , your armour looks totally perfect, spot on . Centurion next Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I got so excited about getting cleared and receiving my TK ID.... I forgot to report for duty..... hope Lord Vader didn’t notice. I still can’t believe my armour cleared, it’s an amazing feeling having spent an absolute age building it..... I really didn’t think I could do it.... and there were times when I thought.... you have messed that up.... especially when using the heat gun... doh... It really is a credit to the armourers on the UKG and the people on here, Christine (cricket) Frank ( fragarock )and Paul (TrooperMaster) and the rest of you for giving me much needed help, advice and support... and when I was really low or felt I had hit a brick wall you all encouraged me to continue.... the spirit of “troopers helping troopers” existed throughout my build.... I can never thank you all enough..... you are all amazing people and troopers and a credit to the 501st So what’s next.... I have currently submitted my kit for EIB and will hopefully achieve Centurion in the future, but let’s get EIB first.. Then I need to do an induction troop with the UKG, get branded and then troop some more.... I’m also looking at what to do next.... I need something to build, perhaps an E-11 all of my own and then possibly ESB.... I believe the armour is ok to swap between ANH and ESB, but I would needs new lid, belt, holster, blaster and gloves...... All that should keep me going for awhile As I said thanks to all of you, I could not have done this without your help Stephen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Clive, I can survive by using a dust pan and brush... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must admit I do need to find something else to build ..... you have got me thinking ...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not that technical too, I sometimes find pictures help. This is how I fitted my split rivets, your elastic will be longer than mine, I also doubled mine up for added strength. I needed a 3” long elastic, so I cut 6” so I could double it up. You will also need something to punch a hole in the elastic for the rivets to go through Rivet placed through hole and elastic Outside Inside Washer added Prise the rivet apart with a flat head screwdriver, resting the head of the river on a piece of wood for support, or something similar Use pliers / hammer to gently tap the prongs of the rivet flat... I tapped the pliers with the hammer Job done Outside Inside Obviously because your elastic will be longer the sides will not butt up against each other Hope this helps Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice progress trooper. The painting on your lid is amazing and you did a much better job than me on the hovi tips. The edges should be painted white not silver and the inside should also be white These are mine for reference, forgive the mesh .... Keep up the good work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are welcome mate. Not long at all mate. I’ve been reading your E-11 build thread, it’s amazing, it’s something I am sort of thinking about but I don’t have a respirator and am bothered about all that resin dust .... plus she who must be obeyed would kill me in a way that would make Lord Vader proud if I was to use the dyson in the garage..... I value my life and want to live long enough to troop .... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see you have done your 501st profile and asked for it to be updated on here, mine took a couple of days , which I thought was really quick. I think you need to include your TK ID in your request, it may be worth editing it and including it, just to be in the safe side mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations Dan ... now get that EIB request up Good luck mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck Dan, your armour is amazing, not long to wait now.... I bet you will get Centurion before me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that would be great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dan, thanks mate [emoji4] It’s all down to you mate, I was thinking about it, saw your post and thought why not I think we are both doing clearance and hopefully EIB together. Good luck also mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
