Looking good, trooper, and welcome to FISD!

Welcome, Vanessa! You're certainly in the right place for armor, and it'll be great to see another Phasma!

Now that I'm approved I have spare time to meme, but should probably go home and rethink my life. Multiple EIB Award Recipients

Oh this is a brilliant idea. I'm adding a new section to my write up. A entire CRL just for the TD. Then the tube, panel, end caps, and clips will each be their own sub-component with basic, L2, and L3 parameters. I have a bad feeling about this...

You guys are either going to go nuts for the Thermal Det resource thread that I've been working on for months, or kick me out of FISD on the basis of insanity.

Screen references appear to show white retainer straps that are around 1/4 inch in width, which is the size that mine are. Mine are also looped into the fold of the snap plate that attaches to my back piece so that it doesn't fall off. You could try sewing yours in. I'll take a photo for you when I get home.

Thanks Mario! You guys rock!

Well, I had seen conflicting reports of whether or not the angled look would be approvable for L3, including cases of both being passed but also statements that angled is no longer appropriate. I wanted to remove any doubt and thus opted for the vertical-cut trim which is most-seen on-screen. It's been this style on my bucket now for several months, and the look really is growing on me, perhaps due to it being what I was 501st approved with.

Continuing with my lightspeed pace of the past week, for your consideration @Deployment Officer Team, here now is my Centurion application. And of course, fine friends, please don't hesitate to reach out for any additional photos or armor adjustments that may be necessary for this highest standard of presentation!

And it case it wasn't noticed, I had actually replaced my brow trim so that the ends had straight vertical cuts, as mentioned in @Morgi's ESB conversion thread. I had previously preferred the angled brow trim look, to match the rear edge of the trap, but I'll admit that I'm growing more fond of these straight cuts. Here's what mine originally looked like in my build thread: Now back to official L3 photos.

Caleb Mask 73692 EIB letter size Joseph Here you are, sir. Display it proudly! https://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/73692-eib.png

Wow Glen, you don't play games knocking this stuff out fast, do you?! I'm on my own card now!

Whoa! A surprise afternoon gift! Thank you so much, Joseph and the rest of the DO team! You better believe that there's gonna be an L3 submission on your desk tomorrow with proper kidney notches!

Looking great, Eric! Nice to see this on here in addition to the facebook group.

I, too, had this same issue last week. Luckily my GML team included a link to my 501st profile in one of their confirmation emails to me.

"What do they mean by 'screen references'?"

Hi Scott - The Han snap is the one at the top corner on the wearer's right side of the ab piece. Here are photos of mine. It's referred to as the "Han snap" due to it's prominent visibility on-screen. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much, Mario! I'm looking forward to being the bestest bad guy there is. Right on, Adam! Most of my family are amazed, and at the same time confused, by my TK build. And you attending DC basically means I gotta go now. You gonna bring your kit and participate in the parade? If so, we also need to kit up and make the Chaos Div @Morgi and @Swoby proud! Thanks Jorge! I'm gonna be tagging you in my Attache app when I submit. And I now have no excuse to get down to Rome, Kennesaw, Marietta, or ATL to troop and finally snag that hardware from you! Thanks for following along, Randy! And don't worry, finishing my HWT is on the docket for this year! Thanks Jonatan! Now I just gotta catch up on my build thread and the PDF, which is already nearly 200 pages long! Stay safe with those blades!

Dude I can relate to the ears.

Just had to post this from the FISD Meme Thread:

Yeah definitely straighten and bring the belt up. The top of the plastic part of the belt should just barely touch the bottom of the lowest blue center ab button. I think you may be able to raise your biceps up a bit to have a little more overlap with the shoulder bells. That will then impact forearm placement. Your chest piece actually appears to have an appropriate amount of overlap with the ab piece, but you do appear to be a little shorter in stature (any chance you’d share your height?), so extra overlap could help overall fitment. Do you already have your chest-to-ab strapping in place? If so, it could be tightened as the chest appears to pulling up and away from the ab. There’s also some overlap in your back and kidney piece, and as you already mentioned, there is armor bunching around your cod/posterior and thigh pieces. So certainly some adjustment may be necessary.

I have a yet-to-be-assembled Hero bucket from DA Props. Could take some photos of the faceplate if it’d be helpful.
