    Do ESB!  :smiley-sw013:

     

    That's what I am- I'm opening biased about it.  (And I'm Centurion, too).  

     

    I can't speak for RS's ESB- I've only seen their ANH in person.  Regardless, I would reinforce it in several places (chest at middle of arm opening on both sides, add real strapping to leave the u brackets as look only, not weight bearing as they will rip through the armor), as I've seen it crack in the exact same place on four different RS kits on four different types of bodies.  

     

    I personally find RS to be a bit thin, and it's a great fit if you're exactly like the original guys on screen- if not, not so much.  (Again, from seeing it on other guys in my Squad).  I'm a huge fan of AM and RT-Mod/RT-Panda (Panda's taking over)- works great for bigger/taller people but equally good for shorter/smaller people, just involves more trimming.  

     

    Centurion is about the details, but it's a lot about the fit- you'll want to find an armor that is best suited for your body type to give yourself the best head start towards that goal (and comfort and wear-ability, of course, as well).

     

    Good luck and ask all the questions, now and when you've gotten your Big Brown Box!  That's what we're here for.

    Thank you for the feedback and will look into your suggestions.

    Welcome, Scott! Are you in the SCG Imperial Recruits Facebook group and did you make it to the Brea armor party?

     

    RS is extremely accurate armor, but not the best for trooping, and will take some work to bring up to standards and make comfortable to wear even after a full commission build - do you have your heart set on it?

    I just requested to join the FB group.  Thank you.  No, I  wasn’t able to make it to the armor party. 

     

    I received my armor about a week ago.  Last night was my first time trying it on.  Interesting to say the least.  Had a hard time being able to look down, first time suiting up was challenging lol.  

  4. Thank you everyone.  Glad to be finally starting this journey.  It has always been something I wanted to do.  I would appreciate any feedback on the ANH vs The ESB RS armor?  Empire is my favorite, but with the molds coming from an original ANH, I feel like the ANH will be more accurate, not 100% on the difference between the two though.
