[How does the RS Propmasters suit fit for tall people?]

Hi Mike, welcome to FISD.  for your reference the bellow Trooper is 6'2" in a RS armor

 

 

 

 

Hey, this is me! :-)

 

As a 6'2" person, over time I figured out how high the thigh armor has to be and the shins so it is better balanced.

[Hello from Fort Lauderdale!]

Welcome to the group and hope to see you soon. I am an ESB TK too, glad to see another one.

Welcome on board, Dimi! (Willkommen in der Gruppe!)

 

I am originally from Frankfurt and know the area well. ;-)

 

The RS builds are great, I have one for an ESB TK and it is awesome.

[Hello from Sunny Florida]

Great choice and this is the best place to get guidance on how to get started and keep optimizing. I have a fully commissioned RS PropMasters ESB TK as well and it is great. Tuned a few areas after close to 20 troops and it is a lot of fun.

Congratulations! As someone who recently upgraded an RS suit to centurion, I know you can do it!

 

Thank you, @Crampeat. I am definitely motivated to do that. Will look for all the good trooper tips.

Thank you @gmrhodes13. Thank you for the nice visual. What is the 1036?

[TK-23011 Requesting ESB EIB Status [RS] 1036]

Thank you to all of you and the guidance you gave me to take the steps towards EIB. Appreciate it and also the feedback is perfect to make it even better so I can aim for Centurion.

 

I am super excited!

 

For the Empire!

[The optional blaster]

2 hours ago, gmrhodes13 said:

Yes you need the correct blaster for each particular costume.

 

There is an ESB blaster which is the same as ANH minus the power cylinders and Hengslter also swap out the sight, some 3D files are available for the scope, so there's that option

 

 

 

 

 

The ESB promo shot shows a blaster without a D ring, whether the DO's will accept that only they can answer @Deployment Officer Team

 

Thank you, @gmrhodes13. I expected that. This changes my plans for how to make it work with the Blast FX as this seems to be mostly oriented on the ANH Blaster. 

[The optional blaster]

Hi,

 

I am currently in the process of getting my ESB costume approved for EIB and following this thread, I have my doubts that the current blaster from RS PropMaster would qualify me for a Centurion Level (for example the D-Ring is non-existent). However, I plan to build an ANH E-11 based on TroopaCoola. For the Centurion status, does it matter if it is an ANH or ESB Blaster?

 

Thanks

 

 

[ANH Stunt Build With Anovos Kit...Aiming for Centurion]

Congratulations! Welcome on board and don't worry about height. I am 6.2" and all is good. You may compete with the Vader's though. ;-)

[TK-23011 Requesting ESB EIB Status [RS] 1036]

Hi @justjoseph63, @TKSpartan

 

Updated photos with less gap on the right side. Long term. (maybe sooner), I think I have to add a second snap on strap to keep the bottom closer to the back side (saw a few good posts in the forums how to do that). Otherwise the bottom part will always have the gap.

 

For completion reasons, I added these pictures in the original post as well.

Just updated it, @TKSpartan. Not sure why exactly that one disappeared.

Hi Tarkan, and thanks for your submission!  One of us will be with you shortly, sir.  While you wait, we need a favor.. As per the CRL for EI, 

Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide

It will be a bit of a pain, but we need you to suit up and take some new pics (both sides) with your belt tightened a bit to close that gap some.  It doesn't have to be EXACTLY half an inch (or less) so no need for a ruler, lol.  THANKS!

 

 

Good catch @justjoseph63 and will do that (latest this weekend because I am scheduled for a troop).
