Eagle

I'm currently waiting on an e11 I ordered back in March. The guy seems nice and I know quiility isn't an issue. It's just communications. At this point I just hope he's ok. I urge anyone that knows him or has his number to give him a call and just check in on him.

I'm working on a converting an old ATA kit to sandy for a friend. The forearms look a little off but they were approved at the time. Will these work for basic approval for a Sandy? This is the front of forearms according to the markings, it looks off to me and I think I need to cut them or flip them to the back. Thanks!

The quality was excellent! I'm just horrible with painting and decal application lol!

Update: I totally botched some helmet decals. I rubbed the color off one side trap and the back traps are being a pain in the butt. Time to order a new set. Does anyone recommend the decal fluid on trooperbay?

I was actually studying your thread, it's very informative!

A new E11 ordered from Hellhounds props! Can't wait to see it!

I ordered the decals for my helmet today! I plan on ordering my E11 once I sell my current one.

I'm switching over to ESB because I like the look more and I have two other costumes that could use an ESB E11. It's going to be a slow process, because I'm also sizing down my kit as I lost weight. Can wait to document the process!

I actually haven't worn it in a few months, its back at home. Ill probably evaluate it in December. Is it possible to create new return edges?

Well I've encountered a good problem, I lost around 45 pounds these past few months, I'm still on the war path. But my TK no longer fits me, in a good way. I threw my armor up for sale, but im second guessing myself. It has a lot of value to me since it was my first build. So I want to see what yall think, sell and buy a new kit or trim and fix up? In order to get the armor to fit me correctly I had to get rid of almost all the return edge, which I quite like the look of. Thanks in advance!

I was considering them, I actually I use their E11, I love it. But I'm staying away for the following reasons. -I want a fun project to work on during these times -price -I cant get in contact with them, Iv'e messaged them twice in the last two months. -Most importantly, I need something that can come apart for security and storage purposes. The barrel can be removed from the receiver. In a few months i'll be moving onto a college campus and carrying a rifle like prop, even in a case, could be risky. So I would like something that can fit into make crate. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a Dlt19. I don't want a 3D printed kit and preferably it can break down. I found a vendor call Stardust Industries on FB that sells a kit, it looks nice. Anyone have any experience with them? https://www.facebook.com/stardustindustries/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Thanks!

UPDATE: After taking the TK out for it's first major walk around a neighborhood, its become clear that my TK still needs a lot of work in the leg department. I got REALLY bad bites on the back of my legs and right thigh, but not my left. I'm going to make mobility cuts and alter my legs a bit. I'll post updates when done.

Can't Wait! Just him my EIB!

Thomas Hagin 61601 Centurion Letter Joseph Thank you! No problem!! http://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/61601-centurion.png

Ill post some photos once I get my last items in the mail and edit my armor a bit!

UPDATE: Sadly I never used this as I intended too. So I’ll make this post my closing chapter on my build and as something for me to look back on for future reference. WHAT HAPPENED: With all the free time on my hands due to the pandemic, nothing was stopping me from putting down the build. I finished relatively quickly. I did little parts in January and February. However, I would say 90% of this build took place during March and April. I didn't really stop to document it all. I would say the most documentation I have is in my EIB and Centurion threads. ------------ FOR NEWCOMERS AND FUTURE ME Proper Protection! I got some small cuts during this build and a really bad one. Make sure you are careful when handling sharp tools and use proper protection! Cracks Be ready for cracks. It's not a matter of if, its a matter of when. I got a few while building, two of which were my fault. It’s going to feel bad at first, but don't let a crack stop you from this project. Worst comes to worst you can always replace the part. Snaps Don't overset them. Also, I highly recommend the double snap method from @justjoseph63. Price Be prepared to drop quite a bit on a TK, it is an investment. Keep track of purchases. Shoot for the Stars! I went into this build with the goal of hitting Centurion. I built my armor with level 3 in mind so I wouldn't have to go back and make any major changes after basic approval. Kit, not Commission! Build your kit! It's cheaper and teaches you a lot. Of course, there is nothing wrong with commissions, but I would only recommend it if you’re tight on time, not money. Heat Guns It's true, all of it. Heat guns can really mess up armor, even AM which is VERY thick ABS. You can’t notice it in photos but the corner of my backplate is slightly warped due to being exposed to a heat gun for too long. Use caution when using a heat gun. Ask for Help! Don't be ashamed to ask for help! This isn't a simple task that you are expected to know going into it. Go to armor parties, make posts on the forums, ask squadmates! SPECIAL THANKS I want to thanks everyone that helped me through this journey. I made a few separate threads with armor questions and received many responses, they were all very helpful, so thank you! @justjoseph63 and Sha Sha, thanks for your pointers and fixes you gave me throughout the EIB and Centurion process. Finally, my good friend and now squad leader @Erice3339, Eric Elg. You were the one who pushed me to make my TK when I was on the fence about. You gave me really great advice! So thank you, I can't wait to get out of this quarantine and troop with you and Fireteam Alpha in my TK! I think that wraps it up, I'll update this if anything else comes up ill update the post Thomas Hagin

Thanks Joseph! I did switch to the two inch elastic, ill fix it in a bit! Question, what is my centurion number?

Fixed, photo in original post.
