Thank you Matthew. Appreciate it brother.

Thank you Randy. Means a lot and honored to be on board.

Thank you Arthur. Appreciate it brother.

So I have to take a moment and say something very important about 501st and FISD. Last year on the 4th of February I was accepted in the 501st and FISD. I didn't know what to think or how this was going to go. Was just happy to have a Stormtrooper outfit. Centurion was something I thought would be near impossible. Well, I kinda set myself a goal to get one. And maybe think about the ones that I want, which were Stunt, Hero and HWT. I can't believe the timing. So I wanted to take the time here in this approval to post how special and important it is to me. All of the help and guidance from EVERYONE in the FISD has been beyond my expectations and I am proud to be a part of all of you and look up to your guidance. Thank you everyone for all of the help and encouragement. Ardeshir

Thank you Glen. Appreciate it

hahaha, not by choice, just by circumstance. hahaha. Thanks Mario. Wish Anovos could master actually making their product and responding to their customers. hahaha

Appreciate it Mario. Thank you so much. I really like this kit a lot. A lot and super excited about it.

WOW thank you Daniel. What an honor. Thank you beyond words. All of your notes and guidance and help is beyond appreciated. Thank you for the honor. Ardeshir

I uploaded new photos with the requested changes and adjustments made. The new photos show the scuff on the pauldron and the dressing alignment issues corrected. Thank you everyone.

Thank you Randy. Appreciate brother.

Thanks brother. Appreciate it.

Pauldron = Trooper Bay ADJUSTMENT NOTES FROM EIB: 1: Ears on helmet. I tried to see if I can open my helmet back up and I can not as it is sealed. It is as far back as I can take it without breaking my helmet. 2: Alignment of bicep plates with bells, that was a suiting up issue, which I can correct if photos are required. It was a mistake on my part in suiting up. 3: Ammo Pouch on Pauldron, second snap has been added which straightened out my pouches. I have not had a chance to photo and will do so when I return. 4: Left thigh gap has been glued down to a abs plate behind it and white silicon filled in front to look more smooth. Image has been posted below. I wanted to get this process going. Please let me know if further images are required. EIB APPROVED LINK NEW PHOTOS FOR CENTURION TO SHOW THE DRESSING ALIGNTMENT AND THE WEATHERING ON PAULDRON.

Hi everyone, I realized that I did not upload my Praetorian DLT. So I just added that to the timeline of the submissions and also posting it here. I feel that I owe this photo for future references as well. Thank you everyone for all of your support. The other is a heavy duty fine 3D printed DLT that I sanded and coated with layers of paint that made it much stronger. It is pretty darn durable and light weight. Then painted it. This is the Praetorian DLT and it is much heavier but also that heavy duty foam rubber. So it is very durable and resilient. I thought I owed this photo as I listed the blaster and did not present it. So here it is. Thank you again everyone for all of the encouragement and support. By the way, my changes for Centurion are already done, now I just need to have time to photograph it all. Just a few photos to show the changes and it will be up. Thank you. Ardeshir

Thank you Glen. Appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you Randy, appreciate it very much. I will be heading down that path pretty soon.

Absolutely will be. I have my marching orders from you guys. hahaha

Absolutely!!!!! You know me well Mario. hahaha

Thank you buddy. I take your suggestions very very seriously. So I will definitely be looking at what I can do with it for sure. Thank you again beyond words. Ardeshir

Daniel, thank you very much brother. Appreciate the time and consideration by you and the entire D.O.Team. Means a lot. And appreciate the notes and detailed information. I will for sure do what I can to meet all of these and see you guys in the Centurion application soon. I may start that process asap. These changes will not take me long to do at all. I did not know about that gap needing to be filled on the thigh, easy peasy. I will have that done today, same with the pouch, again that is easy and not a problem at all. The ear on the helmet is just a bad photo. The angles are better and I will show that in the next photos. They may not be perfect match, but they are damn close. I may ask for some grace in that since the helmet is completely sealed up and wired with insane comms in it and the whole thing is lined with felt. So I will take a look at how deep I can get in that. But the new photos may show that they are much closer to matching than it shows here. Alignment on the arms noted and will ad an adjustment to strapping that will align those even tighter. Daniel and the D.O.Team. Thank you everyone for everything. For me this process is always such an inpatient waiting game hahaha because I am always so eager to hear what you have to say and do what you recommend. haha So thank you everyone for always being so encouraging and inspiring. Honored by this. Ardeshir

Thank you Mario. hahaha For me it is just being a big kid and building bigger models. hahaha. Thanks brother.

Thank you Tony, always appreciate everything. Means a lot. Thanks for all of the time helping me out and answering my annoying questions hahaha. Appreciate it.

Joseph. Thank you very much for the encouragement brother. Appreciate it and honored to be on board.

Thank you Arthur. Appreciate it very much brother.

Hello Joseph and thank you guys so so so much. Everyone. The encouragement is amazing. I have to say, 501st and FISD to me are amazing. Not only amazing direction and organization but people. I have been involved with a lot of organizations but this is outstanding beyond words. Thank you so much for all of the compliments. The DLT-19 came out crazy good and I couldn't believe it myself to be honest. What is even more crazy is that I was able to match my Praetorian to it. So they both are matches. One for long troops and photos and the other for situations that I need something more durable. Just such a cool looking blaster. So I appreciate the compliment very much. As far as the Pauldron. I will admit, after I took the photos, I said DAMN hahahaha I forgot to weather it. hahahaha. So for Centurion I will do it for sure. hahaha. It was one of those moments after putting up the pictures where I just smiled and thought damn. hahahaha I will for sure take it to Level 3. All of the help and advice in previous builds made it a fun process on this. I still have the other kit as well and I have to say, everyone and I mean everyone who sees the other one keeps saying man, that is the ONE, find someplace it will fit. So we will see what I do. I am heavily leaning towards Sandtrooper, but I am going to wait a minute on that as there might be an outside plan on that suit still. So we will see. But this kit is pretty fun to put on and it is so light and so easy to wear so I am super excited about it. Thank you Joseph. Appreciate it beyond words brother.

Thank you as always Daniel. Appreciate everything and all of the advice.
