Hi, i have been MIA for a while. My build threads are missing since the sites upgrade. Any ideas what has occurred here?
Thanks.

HA HA HA. look close at the pic after the first coat. There's a guys head on the newspaper that is aligned just right inside the frown. BTW seeing your post gives me confidence that I can do this.
I never notice that! Yes, the key is to cradle the helmet so your hand can paint comfortably.

Got the counter attached and the scope in place.
I made some little metal contacts for the Counter. -Not sure if they are film accurate?
All additional nuts, screws, and other "bits" now in place so ready for a coat of paint over the weekend. I made a basic stand with some aluminium rod and mirror perspex-except it lists to the side due the all the "extras" being located on one side but should be an easy fix.

Hengstler Counter time. I wanted a dial on my counter so trashed a $2 skipping rope for the dial and found another to get the six rows of digits.
Got handy with the resin and reverse molded a box to match the original, linked my number dials with a small pin, sanded some perspex for the cover and cut a top that will house everthing.
Completed. The button does not work but the numbers will spin randomly.

Life keeps conflicting with my Star Wars obsession.
Anyway. Power cylinders completed. Got some nice red cord from Spotlight that seemed to match old coated electrical wires. Fuses hot glued in and left some wire so that i can key this thing into the Magazine top.
The basic mods are going a little OTT.
Thought i would rebuild the sight.
I need some plastic and found... a fork.
Carved this into my sight fitting and got a small hex screw and a bolt thread for the sight.
Cut some aluminium for the sight hood. Textured the top by giving it a sharp crack with a sledgehammer and file for the imprint.

Welcome back Paul and thank you for your Centurion application.
CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:
All required submission photos are present. Beautiful job on your build my friend
Andrew and I are pleased to announce your armor displays all the elements as set out in the Centurion CRL. Congratulations and welcome to Centurion
Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:
As mentioned during your EIB application reducing the shoulder bell to chest gap and raising your waist belt would help you armor look even cleaner and more accurate. Minor tweaks you can do in time.

End caps are now on the cylinders. I got some red cord and some small resisters for the detailing at the back.
Filling. sanding, filling.
Dremel time for the flashing.
I made the rail from some steel rail (Bunnings) 2.5mm thick and 20 mm wide. With the angle grinder, using a cutting disk, i scored along the front bend to give a nice sharp bend.

Wow, terrific work on the power cylinders already - they're looking great! You have an intriguing resin blaster Paul - can you shed some more light on this resin blaster, R & D? Curious to know a little more about them, cheers.
R & D, You can find him on FB. Based in Australia. Even with postage, with the exchange rate it might be a good deal for you?

This will be a pretty short build thread because of the most awesome build threads already out there. I will be doing some basic mods to my R & D resin blaster. For those wanting the bible of blaster builds check out this reference guide. Part authored by one of our very own Garrison Troopers "Sith Lord".

The R & D blaster below. I have already removed the top rail that the scope will sit on. The cast has good detail and is pretty light compared to a droopy version.
I decided to start with the mysterious power cylinders. Its about the only part from the E11 that cannot be decisively identified. Last guess is they are from old WW2 radars.
https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/17306-e-11-power-cylinders-research-thread-renamed-from-3-central-fuses/
Sheet aluminium- nice and soft to work with.
Three central capacitors from tube aluminium and melted rubber and caps. The final bracket bent into shape.
Slots were cut into the tubes for the wings to insert into for additional strength. Tubes were then hot glued with a brass wing detail added.
For the end caps i heated some styrene and pressed it over the tube.

Decided to update my images. Took some beef of my biceps and they feel much better. Made a shorter elastic between forearm and bicep. I tried to adjust my shoulders as best as possible but as mentioned earlier i have crooked shoulders.

Looks great. Well done on the hand painting of the helmet.

Great job on your build! I only see a couple of things and it's only for looks. Your biceps seem a bit big and your bridges don't look even. Your right shoulder looks up more on chest making it sit almost on O II on back.
Again, great job and Good Luck!
Thanks for the feedback. I have one leg longer than the other which makes my shoulders crooked. I didn't want to cut the bridges at different lengths. Ill see what happens but i would rather not cut them.
