Probably It would be ok for Basic depending on your GML. For EIB an elastic strap over the palm is allowed if wearing rubber gloves. Hand Plates These shall be clam shell, or snowtrooper-style hand plates and not the trapezoidal design seen in A New Hope. The hand plates shall be mounted securely over the back of the glove. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): If rubber gloves are worn the hand plates are affixed via an elastic strap over the palm. If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates have the correct visible stitching pattern using black cotton, with a five point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, and needs to be double stitched at each point.

AB BOXES TRIMMING AND ASSEMBLY Because I considered I'm not so skilled in shaping those small boxes , I Found this Contour Gauge. Make the up and down contours Marked to the box sides. Sanding a bit and fit the box. Repeat the process with all the boxes. ASSEMBLY USING CHICAGO SCREWS Apply Epoxi Glue And so on for all the boxes. Marked the place for the screw using the box and drill the hole. In some boxes I have used some washers or plastic squared to fit better Return to Index

SHOULDER BELLS SUPPORT BRACKETS ASSEMBLY Return to Index

May be this can help. It's a tip I think I saw somewhere here in the forum and made my own version. With Anovos Hovi mic tips I have removed the mesh with a knife, screwdriver and plier I have used a marker cap and a rubber hammer

Welcome to EIB ranks Trooper!!

Hi Joe, you're doing a great work with your armor! . about the shoulder bridges, you can trim the the larger rib just to the edge, screen used armors had the larger tab in the front and none in the back. Reference Images

Cool, painting is not my strong suit but it enjoy and looking forward for your progress

Hi Paul. If they fit you correctly and have no more space to allow trimming, you can leave them as it, they should be ok.

Hi Rob, those handguards looks great !! About the TD, if I can make a suggestion. consider the allocation of the TD panel in such way that the rounded washer detail looks more to the front than upwards . I suggest to trim a bit the bottom section to allow the panel rotation to the front. Reference Images We are here to help.

Hi Alan, congratulations for your BBB day and be sure most of us had been in your seat before !! We encourage you to aim for the high levels just from start, it well deserves the work. You can open a build thread according to the version you want to Build : ANH Stunt ESB TK ROTJ TK Post tons of photos and when in doubt ask questions before any cut or mod. "Measure twice, cut and glue just once" We are here to help.

Just remember "measure twice, cut once" you can be conservative at start trimming, and if you want some feedback before gluing or making some screw holes, post photos here .

Hi, Welcome to FISD !! looking forward for some photos of your armor. Let us know if you need some help.

Congratulations Trooper Welcome to the Legion and FISD. !!! Enjoy being a Bad Guy Doing Good!!

Hi Alex. great work with that painting job. I'm not so skilled and mess everything when painting something You could add some more paint to the vocoder and as additional tip, for high levels (we think you may want to aim for the more accurate level like EIB and Centurion ), you may want to add some white paint to the Hovi tips rim. and you can continue painting all the way back under the chin Some references

Hi Tim. thank you for your EIB application. It was added to the processing line. One of us will be with you shortly.

Welcome Matt, we'll be here waiting for your first BBB day photos.

Congratulations Trooper, welcome to EIB ranks !!

Hi Tim. The CRL text here is actually slightly incorrect as the Stunt helmets had the interior painted white, but the Hero helmets only had the rims. It's a bit hard to see, but you can tell in this reference photo:

I disconnect the lower rivets to open the armor and get inside .

Indeed ! a couple of times I have tried to put on my shoulder-arms section I have ended doing contortionist like movements and a nice back pain
