[TK -11312 Requesting ANH TK Stunt EIB Status (RS) (1008)]

Team,

Thank you so much.  I am so excited.  I am ready to get to work and make the corrections to go for centurion status. This was a focus of mine for the past several months.  
 

Thank you again!  Time to celebrate tonight....  Blue milk with the alcohol for everyone.......

Thank you sir!

Alan,

 

That looks awesome. I have the same box and now I have a new project.  I am sure my wife will love this one. Spray paint and masking tape here we go.  The white and black are a perfect accent.

 

Respectfully,

Michael

[Opinions on Ulkswraths TK Audio System?]

Nadas,

 

I just completed my build and submitted for EIB status.  I was looking for an audio system myself. I found Ukswrath on Etsy and YouTube, and continually saw his products mentioned in the forums.  I jumped in and picked up the Hovi mic tips, cooling system bracket, chatter loop and audio system with Modulation.  I have no electrical skills and should not be trusted.  His products are awesome and come ready to install. The directions are supplied and are easy to follow.  The bracket covers the wiring and makes the helmet look very clean. The fans are a must.  The chatter loop really adds to the authentic touch.   The audio system with hovi tips and modulation sound great.  Below are a few pics of my bucket.  Good luck in your search. 

Respectfully,

 

TK-11312

Welcome aboard brother.  Your story is moving and thank you for your service.  I was just at Eglin a few weeks back for business. Great Base.

Nice work trooper, a few suggestions before the DO's get here.

 

You may want to give your side rivets another coat of paint 

 

 

Belt cut corners should meet the with of the belt, your corners are inside the belt width (but this is for L3)

 

Just double check your TD width, there does not appear to be big enough gap between your caps and control panel

 

 

Thigh ammo strips rivets are too close to the corners, also needs another coat of paint

 

 

Good luck with approval trooper

Thank you for the feedback.  I will begin my homework.

Stellar installation job Michael, if you don't mind I'd like to use your photo as reference if you don't mind.

Feel free to use it as a reference. I would be honored. I will try to snap a few showing the bracket and the mp3. If they come out well I will share them with you. 

[TK -11312 Requesting ANH Stunt TK Pre-Approval (RS)]

Thank you for the feedback.  I have been working on the positioning of the biceps and how they fit into the bells. Trial and error with painters tape holding it in place till I get it just right.  Once I have it, I may add an elastic piece from the inner bell to the inner bicep.  Hopefully that will address the positioning issue. Second, I have also looked at using a little Velcro to help hold the belt in place. Any thoughts?

 

Lastly, Ukswrath,  below is a pic of the interior of my bucket. Almost everything is a product of your equipment and hard work. Thank you. You Rock!!!!!!  Sounds great and the chatter loop is the finishing touch.  I positioned the chatter MP3 just below the frown. Unfortunately you cannot see it.  The cooling system bracket hides all the wires for a clean look.   Thank you again for the products you sell.

 

   

[TK -11312 Requesting ANH Stunt TK Pre-Approval (RS)]

Thank you sir!  I will get to work.  Thank you for you feedback and assistance. 

[TK -11312 Requesting ANH Stunt TK Pre-Approval (RS)]

I am looking for feedback. I would like to go for EIB status soon and eventually go for Centurion in the near future.  However, one step at a time.

[RS Propmaster TK Commissioned Armor requesting Feedback]

My name is Michael and I am in great anticipation of the RS Propmasters brown box’s showing up at my front Door.  I ordered an RS commissioned ANH helmet and armor and I expect them to arrive in the next few days. I know I cheated and most of the armor is assembled and ready to go. I can’t wait. (that is an understatement) Over the past few weeks I scoured the forums and developed the following list of action items to address with the new armor and helmet.  My goal is to gain EIB approval and then go on for Centurion approval. 

The following are the initial tasks I plan on addressing before submitting for the EIB. With everyone’s experience, please let me know if I am missing anything major?   

Bucket:

• Paint the inside of the helmet with Plastidip (not required for EIB or Centurion however I like the look)

• Trim and position the lenses with SUGRU inside helmet leaving a small gap for ventilation

• Remove original Hovi tips. Drill and replace with new Hovi Mic Tips. (thanks to UKswrath)

• Install iComm & Mic system (also thanks to UKswrath)

• Install Cooling bracket

• Install chatter loop and wiring (again, thanks to UKswrath)

• Install Power supply and 4 fans including wiring

• Install interior padding for comfortable fit

• Install mesh screen over the interior of the frown

• Trim Brow strap (Exterior of bucket)  

Belt:

• Reposition Ammo Boxes to proper location

• Add a dash of glue to Ammo Box strapping to keep from shifting and hold in place

• Trim Ammo belt straps to keep from rubbing on screws (inside of belt)

• Double check the sizing of the cloth belt where it meets the ABS belt section

Thermal Detonator:

• Paint bracket screws black

Shoulder Bells:

• Trim the return edges of the lower section of both bells so they can rest on the bicep smoothly (top and bottom)

• I will consider trimming the upper edges of the bell for comfort

Forearms:

• Trim all the return edges closest to the wrist

Shoulder Strapping:

• Cut two white elastic straps, tie and secure on the shoulder straps for cannon

Thigh tops:

• Trim the return edges on the tops of the thighs

Knee’s:

• Sniper knee – trim the sniper knee for authentic cannon look

• Check the rivet for proper placement on the Ammo knee.  It may need to be corrected and replaced for Cannon look.

Strapping:

• I might want to add strapping and even replace the strapping to areas that might have additional stress.

Blaster:

• Add decals picked up on Etsy for the sights on my Blaster

   

Please let me know if I missed anything. Once complete, I hope it will be time for pictures and submission for EIB status.

Thanks for any feedback, Michael (future TK)

Welcome to the true home of shiny white armor, Michael!  Great to hear that you pulled the trigger, ordered your RS kit and are aiming for Centurion, and we look forward to helping you in any way we can.  While waiting, I suggest getting all of your supplies in order ahead of time, as well as researching some of the build threads already here.  

When Big Brown Box day finally arrives, I also highly recommend starting your own build thread where you can post photos of your progress and ask all the questions you may will have.

I have some tutorials below that will help, and I look forward to seeing your progress!

Thank you so much.  Looking forward to the experience.

 

[Hello from Georgia]

I am waiting for my RS Propmasters ANH armor and bucket. This site has been a treasure trove of guidelines and teachings. I have started collecting the tools and additional supplies for when the armor arrives.  I aspire to reach the TK Centurion level one day.  I still remember seeing ANH in the movie theater and being blown away.  
 

Future TK Trooper,
