  3. That's so exciting, I'm EIB#982 and Centurion#482 such an awesome coincidence. I'm so happy to have made it to Centurion. Of course, I didn't get here alone. Thanks must go to everyone who's offered advice along the way to get me here. You all make this community a spectacular place to learn and grow.

  4. Welcome aboard Danny. There's loads of info on the forum and plenty to get acquainted with as you begin the R1 journey. Seems to be a pretty regularly used kit by Lucas film these days.
  5. I would also have to echo this statement. Glen has offered up many pearls of wisdom to me, and located things in the forums I knew existed but could not find. His knowledge and omnipresence is amazing. Thank you and congratulations Glen.
  6. Forearms: Belt snaps were too tight to allow the belt to stay any higher so I removed and raised their position.

  8. No time to stop. Here the link to my Centurion application. Just a couple of photo reshoots were needed and a screw tightened so far. I can't seem to get my belt to ride high enough after fixing my Ab buttons so I'm going to remove and fill in the holes for the snaps and install another reinforcement of ABS to strengthen the area. I already noticed some marks indicative of stress around one of the snaps so I'm looking to address that.
  9. Welcome to FISD Kenneth! While FB is hip and cool the white armor forum is truly the place to be to get all the best info. Can't wait to see your WIP. Add the link to this post too so we can check it out.
  10. Seems I had a screw loose. I got help, it's all better now. Sent from my sorrosuub C1 comm link device using Tapatalk
  11. Congrats trooper! Good luck on climbing the ranks to Centurion.
  12. Welcome Lucas, I applaud your service and commitment to honor your brother by joining the 501st. Welcome aboard!
  13. Take that! You unauthorized weathering on the grip! I repainted the E-11 grip with a couple new coats of paint. I'm going to try to let this cure a bit more before I touch it. Some days I just can't help myself but to pick it up, flip it on, and imagine blasting some rebels. But for now I really want this new coat to stick.
  14. Thanks, Sha Sha Here's the updated pictures: Picture of back and kidney showing no overlap. S-Trim put back in place.
  15. Thanks fellas. I hit it with a little more paint last night. Sent from my sorrosuub C1 comm link device using Tapatalk
  16. Thanks Glen, You have a great eye. I know I will have to repaint that grip for sure I'm just hoping to get through this before I take the time to remove the handle and strip it down. Everytime I hold my blaster the grip shows a little more paint worn away so it's inevitable. But if I have to dust it for now to get me by I'll do it.

  17. Thanks Glen, I think the back plate just got caught somehow when I put it on for pictures. It usually doesn't sit like that so I hadn't noticed when I was checking everything else. As far as the helmet I don't have any padding at the top. My nugget goes up in there as high as I can get it or I feel I can't see well enough. My blaster, I think I forgot to primer the grip before I painted it. I guess I can give it a quick pass to clear for now but I just know I am gonna have to take that paint all the way back off and hit it with some primer if I want it to stick for good. Did you see a T-Track that looked weathered? I can retouch those too but don't see any weathering.

  19. I think I fixed my holes. This was a daunting task at first but I learned a lot. I wish I had taken a lot more pictures along the way but here's how I fixed my Ab rivets being in the wrong location ie 20MM instead of 10 from the edge. All said and done I now realize I am skinny enough that I could have gone the "Ninja" route that TKspartan suggested above but I went ahead and removed, filled, and replaced all of the split rivets. When I was doing tests on this procedure I made a few errors. First I was making the test holes far larger than the 1/8th inch holes I was really going to need to fill on my armor. Second I didn't have a good selection of sand paper. I had been trying to form the filler circles by hand and let me tell you, trying to make a little perfect circle smaller than the cap of a pen is a huge pain in the exhaust port. I discovered that I had a leather punch that makes almost perfectly sized circles to fit the 1/8th inch holes. If you do this let me emphasize that you should only do ONE circle at a time. I was using a very small screwdriver to force the plugs back out so to prevent damaging them I would cut a thin scrap ABS first then the target thickness next. I would then push them backwards out the cutting side but that would leave an impression hence the sacrificial piece first. I removed all the split rivets and used painters tape on one side of the armor. Took a Q-tip with acetone and rubbed the inside of the hole before dropping in the plug. Be very careful with how much acetone you use! If too much gets on the outside of your armor you may have more work. Also be sure if you tape the outside that it seals well. One of mine did not and I had a couple acetone marks to repair / sand. Don't worry, the mark next to the hole pictured is just pencil. Every one wasn't perfect so I added some ABS paste to a couple and after some sanding with 1000 grit sandpaper, some oxidation remover and then moving onto high gloss polish that I had in the garage for use on my fiberglass jet ski it turned out nice. There's a slightly noticeable spot where each hole used to be on the Ab. Most of the holes on the kidney were under the lip of the split rivets.
  20. Should be able to finish TKSpartans list by tomorrow!
  21. Welcome to FISD Dan! Sounds like you'll be suited up in no time.
  22. I ordered mine September 2019 and was "Dispatched" last October. It arrived shortly after that. Maybe I got the last one?
  23. Welcome to FISD Bryan! You are with good company here. I admire your efforts on combining your health goals with the goal of being a Storm Trooper! It's never too late to join the ranks. Have you decided on which version of Storm trooper you would like to build? Sent from my sorrosuub C1 comm link device using Tapatalk
  24. Welcome to FISD Wayne! It's great to have you aboard.
