  1. Hi Doggy, I’m just making the alterations for following your recommendations in prep for my Centurion application and I have a question around the gap you mentioned on the back of my right thigh. I already have a piece of ABS there but can’t see too clearly because of the lighting on the picture. I’ve included a close up with this post and let me know whether this will suffice, or what further recommendations you have. Thanks again buddy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Hi all, As part of my goal to get Centurion level, I need to bend my shoulder bridges a little as they’re currently not sitting flat when held down by the elastic. hot water has been the recommendation to do this and I’m wondering if someone could provide a bullet point method, a video would be even better, so I do this correctly and not damage my armour. I do have a heat gun but I’m a little nervous about using this given the shoulder bridges have ridges. Thanks all.
  3. Wow! Thank you so much for approving my armour for EIB and the detailed feedback for my Centurion application, which I will submit soon. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy this moment. When I do come to make the suggested corrections, should I post any questions I have on this thread or my build thread? Thanks again, I’m so pleased. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Hi Doggy, I’ve now made the corrections to my TD which I hope now meets the CRL requirements. Please find photos of this plus the additional helmet photo you requested showing the 3 screws on the ear piece. If you need anything else, just let me know. Thanks, Tim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Hey Doggy, To rectify the TD clip placement, I’ve had to remove the button panel, cover the old clip holes and re-glue (the new holes would have been too close to old ones and would probably have made one bigger hole). I’ve then attached the clips in the correct position. Just as an FYI, my RS build kit came with the clips already attached. I’ll post new pictures tomorrow, along with the additional helmet images. Do you me need to put the full suit back on or are you happy with just the top half so you’re able to see that the TD buttons are angled correctly? Thanks, Tim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. All good with these Doggy. May have questions about the angle of the TD buttons but will see how I get on first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. Good news, my armour has been cleared. What a journey and massive thanks to all who has contributed on my thread (especially you Glen). It’s taken a while but never would have thought I would be able to build my own stormtrooper when I joined the 501st in 2021. The journey isn’t over though. I’ll be submitting my Expert Infantry pics soon and hopefully Centurion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
