My first attempt at pre-approval is up. I finally managed to find some free time, slow and steady wins the race.

Hello all, first attempt at pre-approval. Going for basic level. 1. First/last name - Steve Bryant 2. Future Garrison/Squad/Outpost or local area - Desert Scorpion Garrison 3. Armor maker - AM commission at Dave’s Darkside Depot 4. Helmet maker - AM commission at Dave’s Darkside Depot 5. Cloth belt maker - AM commission at Dave’s Darkside Depot 6.

TK type ESB Thanks to Glen Rhodes for answering my many questions and for selling me a replacement hovi tip. I am sure there will be more questions in the future.

Hello all, it's been a while, between study and traveling for work I have been physically separated from my armour but finally back home now. Helmet is now repaired with a new hovi tip, unfortunately Glen the one I purchased from you was solid and not hollow so it would not fit over the speaker, this is my fault as I forgot to specify that. When I do eventually meet you and the rest of the garrison I shall return it to you so have your spare back. I purchased two spares from urkswrath which worked perfectly. I managed to fix my belt so the snap would engage with the other side, I didn't notice one side was slightly bent which prevented it from clipping on fully. My E11 which I purchased from Shear Tech in the UK should be arriving tomorrow, I am very excited to see it and Ill post some pictures of it when I can. All I need to do now is make some v tabs so the posterior doesn't stick out so much. It feels good to be home but there is no rest for the wicked

No worries Glen, I hope you get well soon, I was hoping to make it to supanova this time around so I could meet some of the people from the garrison but one of my colleagues put a stop to this by coming into work with a nasty cold, knocked out half my team and me but I am slowly on the mend. Ill hopefully get some pictures in the pre approval section soon, I really want to get this sorted now. Ordered a blaster from sheartech last week and sorted the import and customs paperwork with WA Police, not as hard as I was expecting thankfully.

Appreciate it, Kyle. I tried to glue my broken hovi tip last night but unfortunately I am missing one single tiny piece so this is no longer and option and Ill need to source a new one. Might try Dave to see if he sells spares, unless anyone else has any sources for replacement ones?
-
That is going to be very helpful. Thank you very much.

Appreciate it, thank you very much. Ill take a gander in my local one after work tomorrow. I sware these weekends are going faster faster each time now.

Silly me yes, Hovi tips, that’s what I meant to say. Mine are plastic as they are over speakers. I think I might be able to repair the three tiny pieces but need to buy some new super glue first. I did take some photos but my SD card failed and I lost all the data on the card. Ill take some more when I can.

So I attempted my first suite up today. That was an experience, I need a lot more practice to put that on in a timely manner. Unfortunately one of the front tusk shells came off the speaker on the front of the helmet and broke off a small chunk when it hit the ground. Where can I source new ones? I also need to change one of the snap placements on the belt as they don't quite line up on the armour side so it looks a little lop sided. Where do you buy these and the hand tool to attach them with? Thanks Steve

Thank you for link, I'll give that a good read over. I sent an email to QD just to ask re their shipping, I assume it's a customs thing.

Interesting, I didn't know the ANH version was acceptable for ESB costumes, but good to know. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. Edit, Damn it, I just noticed they don't ship to Australia. Oh well, Ill keep searching. I assume if I purchased an ANH E11 I would need to convert it to an ESB configuration?

Question regarding the E-11 in ESB config, from my untrained eye this seems to fit the bill but the optimum word is untrained. From Quest Design in Canada https://www.questdesigncanada.com/products/star-wars-esb-snowtrooper-stormtrooper-e-11-blaster-prop-replica?_pos=4&_sid=9e4c4bf4c&_ss=r
