  1. Looking forward seeing your kit as I’m curious to see how it compares to other FOTK makers For gaskets I would say geekypinks for the cloth version and imperialgaskets (FB) for the rubber ones.
  2. It’s to keep them from twisting with coresponding velcro on the shin. If you get the fit right, thight around the boot and fairly snug on your calf you won’t need it
  3. Absolutely do not boil it!!! It’s pushed outwards due to the extra material. That is why it looks to be twisted, the ear itself is not actually twisted.
  4. That depends on your GML. I’m a GML and I would allow it with a suggestion to remove some material. As Glen mentioned it’s a bit twisted due to the material pushing outward. Please excuse the wonky illustration but it will give you an idea on how to adjust
  5. I would stay on target with AP, he’s a member on these boards so I will give him a nudge for you Calling @ABS80
  6. Here’s a pic to show it more clearly. Original to the left. You can also see on the picture Glen provided (same bell) that there is indeed some return left at the bottom. So I did what you did and left some, it’s the most accurate but, perhaps trim a tad more of the ”centerpart”, you can compare to the original.
  7. Use a large drill and gently turn it by hand to countersunk the screws
  8. If you mean the part next to the thigh it should be in the kit from KB.
  9. That you should visit the Bounty Hunters Guild for http://thebhg.net/forum/index.php?/discover/unread/
  10. Still available here https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/135968
  11. Shoulder bridge and dropbox in thigh And - awesome Troop
  12. Just a heads up - the use of elastic and hooks for closure of the shins is only an accuracy thing and not required for any level of approval.
  13. Some more reference for you, notice how the originals were trimmed with a curve rather than a straight cut on the sides, helps close the gap to the chest/back. original to the left Just som Trooper-glory to keep you going
  14. If going for Centurion the lower ear screw is also incorrect, should be a V-head Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white.
  15. Hey Those are ESB decals and not approvable for ANH so you are correct, every stripe need to be separate
  16. We’re glad to have you with us Wayne
