Holy Cow Brother. Thank you so much for all of the awesome input. Will definitely get on all of it asap. I am in the middle of another job with different armor. hahaha Jousting armor. As soon as I am done I will get on this asap. As far as the DLT, I already weathered it and will be doing the brown stock next. As far as this armor goes, no this is not my HWT. I have that one almost done. This is just my back up suit that I wanted approved as well, because you guys have an insane attention to detail that I appreciate. So I will be getting on all of these changes as soon as possible. Thank you for everything. As far as my status, I don't care about status. I just like to do the best that I can, and I always like a communal input when it comes to this kind of knowledge. So I appreciate everything from our entire FISD community. The Thigh plate is going to be the only tough one for me to modify only because of the Glue. So I need to think about how I am going to go about that. So I may ask some grace on that if it is at risk of damaging it. I want to take this on Hero Status as well as my back up. As far as the HWT, I am almost done with it and just waiting on my pack. I am doing extra weathering on that one. I had it extremely weathered, and I mean extreme, but I took it back a thousand percent. It's more than light scuff, but I am keeping it a bit more heavy weathered for my own work related purposes. So that is a whole other suit I will be submitting. Again, thank you and the entire team for always helping and being so encouraging. Means a lot and I send everyone my absolute gratituge. Love the 501st and its members and FISD is an honor. Thank you my brothers and sisters. Ardeshir R.

System was not letting me upload at first

Ok, was finally able to upload it

Not worried about it Joseph. thank you brother. Appreciate everything.

Thank you Glen, and appreciate your input. The Thigh Ammo screws I noticed after I took the photos and I painted them immediately after. You can see it in the close up photos. As far as the screws in the brackets for the thermoldetonator, those were the pre drilled holes. Im not sure I should drill new holes as I would have no way of closing the other holes. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much Joseph. Appreciate it. The thigh Ammo I painted, so that is done now. You can see it in the close up pictures that I posted. I noticed it after I took the photos. The ear screws hahahaha Damn I missed that. hahaha thank you. I will realign the Thigh Ammo asap. I finished this two months ago but was gone for work. So a few things slipped past me. So will get to the changes asap. Thank you again very much.

Hey Dan thank you very much. You know what is weird is that there is absolutely no return on the ab button. It is the way it photographs and I knew there would be a comment on it. I have filed it down to seriously flat edges, it is the top part that has a slight bevel in it, which means Id have to cut it down even more. Ill see what I can do with it. Thank you by the way, and thank you for the note on the GML. I will for sure check with them.

I am requesting special consideration for the blaster below. It is a custom made blaster by Praetorian. It is a DLT that has been shortened for CQB combat and the butt stock was replaced as well. I am requesting special consideration so that I can troop with this blaster as it is short and easy to transport and still within the Stormtrooper Paradigm. Just different pieces from existing weapons put together. Mainly the butt stock, and the shortened barrel. Please consider this. http://www.radpour.com/images/stories/501st/StuntCenturion2/dltcqb.jpg The DLT is not a special request. It is accurate. http://www.radpour.com/images/stories/501st/StuntCenturion2/dlt.jpg

Congrats Trooper and Welcome to the Ranks

Congrats Trooper and Welcome to the Ranks

Thank you Brother. Appreciate it. I am submitting another TK that I have for EIB and Centurion as well. It is an insanely clean build and super happy with it. The encouragement from everyone is amazing. Honored to join the ranks.

Hi Dave, So my Hovi tips were painted correctly, but then I incorrectly painted the interior of the hovi white as well based on the CRL and my previous centurion build. So then it was brought to my attention that the interior of the Hero helmet hovi tips are actually black, on the interior walls, and the tips had light weathering, so then I corrected it by repainting them black. Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your modifications. Kill it Brother and look forward to seeing another approval.

Thank you very much. I appreciate everyone’s welcoming encouragement

Thank you Dan. Appreciate it very much.

Thank you Tony. Means a lot coming from you.

Thank you very much Andrew. Appreciate it very much

Thank you very much. Appreciate the encouragement

Thank you Sha Sha what a compliment and thank you and everyone for all of the guidance. It really makes a difference.

Thank you Tony. Means a lot brother. Appreciate all of your help.

Here is the change to the TD

Hahahahaha. I literally have never had any pinch or grabs. It really does fit me perfectly and I can run and jump no problem in it. The strappings are even. I just need to either turn my arm to show that or trim that sode

Excellent, thank you so much for the suggestions. I’ll make the adjustment on the TD clips immediately. Question for you. All of the gaps are equal on the arms. I measured them. But when I wear it, and the way I am standing, the shape of the left forearm guard has that wedge that protrudes out that makes that one section look tighter. The inside and the outsides are equal. But in the photos that gap seems to look closed due to that square edge. My option is to shave it down to match the right arm, but then that gets rid of the idea of assymetrical armor and the actual shape. What is your suggestion on this? As for the butt plate and the thighs, it’s just the way I am standing and I have to run to place and hope I get there before the timer on the camera hahaha but they never really over lap or hinder me. I’ll try and get another photo ASAP. I can literally run with no problem in this and can run up stairs hahaha

Thank you brother for always being so supportive. Means a lot. Building my fourth TK as we speak hahaha but that’s all just for me. I might do heavy weapons but not sure. We will see.

Name: Ardeshir Radpour Username: equuspolo TK-42128 Southern California Garrison Los Angeles Squadron Armor Maker = Anovos - fully customized Helmet Maker = Anovos - fully customized Blaster Type = E-11 Made by QuestDesignCanada - fully customized Height = 5'10 Weight = 165 Boot Maker = Imperial Boots Canvas Belt = Stormtrooper Undersuit Hand Plates = Trooper Bay rubber latex plates Electronics = Custom Hovi Tips, Icomm, UKSWrath Amp, Selfmade Custom Fans and Battery Pack, MP3 Player, Wireless Mic, Wireless connect to Aker Amp, Speaker Neck Seal Type = Stormtrooper Undersuit, molded piping Holster Maker = Avon's Same Suit as my stunt EIB-917 and Centurion-439 Approved. I custom made the belt myself. As far as the helmet, It is all hand painted. The right ear is left straight on purpose as it matches a hero helmet on A New Hope, the right ear is angled to match that particular helmet. NOTES ON THE CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS: THE HELMET: This is the 11 stripe version - I made the Stripes Thicker as suggested. Thank you. I like this look much better. On the Ears, I am choosing not to thin them out and leave the gap. I don't like that look at all, so I am leaving mine as is and clean. I did this on purpose. I am requesting your tolerance here. HOVI TIPS: I totally thought I had done it right when I took them apart and painted the inside white. No worries, I took them apart, painted it black and removed much of it from the tips so that they have only hints of white weathering. THE AB BUTTONS: Ab buttons are squared off. They were filed down and squared off. THE FOREARMS: All edges are 100% removed. There was an extremely minor edge on it before which I had left on purpose. But they are 100% gone now THE SHIN GUARD CLOSER: Closer is now as tight as I can get it. Pretty flush, the only space is the actual velcro. Thank you for the suggestions. ARMOR: All straps are tightened up again. All straps are adjusted so that there is even spacing. The butt plate strap in the middle of the back was made tighter and it hugs me very well now. It has super wide velcro keeping the sides in It is super tight now. On the Armor, my camera believe it or not does not have a remote option, so I have to set the timer and run over. The only issue I could not see, is the butt plate and thighs plate. That is only the way I am standing. I assure you it is even and does not interfere at all. I can fully sprint in this outfit. Also, if you note, the helmet in my armor photos is prior to the change in Tube Stripes. I had juts taken the photos and then a day later made the stripe modification. Im extremely limited in time right now. EIB APPROVAL THREAD: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47601-tk-42128-requesting-anh-hero-status-anovos-approved/
