Thank you! I may be the first ROTJ Centurion if the EIB roster is up to date.
I couldn't have done this without the vast amount of help, inspiration, and guidance that I have received from the FISD over these past couple of years. Of particular note, I thank TK-J, Troopermaster, TK Bondservnt 2392, Locitus, and TK-8280 (the first ROTJ EIB).
I also thank my partner, DZ-4640. She has been my build partner, measurer, and all-around inspiration in getting this armor done.

Not for ROTJ you don't. ROTJ is 90 degrees (squared belt corners).
Look at the trooper on the far left here.

I saw it this way somewhere. That's why I did it that way. The RT-Mod thigh ammo belt comes with a nub there for mounting the belt. Since it's a dedicated ANH kit I ignored the nub.
Here's something...
If you zoom right in, the rivet isn't in the uppermost corner of the thigh ammo belt like the RT-Mod one is. It's a bit lower. It's a tad higher than mine, but lower than the RT-Mod. So there is a degree of variance.

Thanks for the congratulations, folks. I sincerely appreciate it and the great help of this Detachment! This could never have happened without my fellow TKs.
Mark, if the rosters are up-to-date, then yes... I am the Desert Scorpion's first EIB.

Thank you, Mathias!
The shoulder bridges are "floating" a bit. Underneath the forward end of the bridges are plastic spacers that measure approximately 3-4 millimeters thick. The TE shoulder bridges are too short to properly fit and so I had to build the spacers in order to give the bridges a way to touch and hold on to the armor. They are firmly held in place with Velcro, they don't move.
-
If none of these are acceptable, I'll have to put the armor back on, then. All of my photos are from the same photo shoot.

We prefer to be blown to bits while we're clean rather than getting dirty and whalloped on by teddy bears. 
-
PM me with your e-mail address. I still have the full assembly instructions for the SR Props E-11.
-
Mine were cut before I got them. The shortened length makes them a challenge to mount.
-
I do like the distinction between Death Star and Endor troopers. Some of us pretty boys don't want to dirty our armor.
-
It's a shame to see that this topic faded away. I hope that your ROTJ E-11 turned out well.
-
Thank you.
Now I keep checking for my 501st profile to update. The FISD was the first 501st Legion detachment forum that I joined and it was the first costume that I started. Once my profile updates, I can get proper TK status here in the FISD and I can submit my photos for EIB and Centurion status.
-
I received word from my garrison's GML tonight...
"BTW looked over the ROTJ TK all good
Approved
looks great mate
Cheers"
I'm finally a TK. It's taken me a little over two and a half years to get to this point, but I've finally done it.
Once my 501st profile updates with the TK approval, I can go for EIB status.
-
Some of the Endor troopers got pretty dirty. Bloody teddy bears...
-
Hhhmmm... maybe I'm wrong. I've found a picture of fan armor riveted like mine but I'm not able to make it out in the screen shots I've got.
I know that I did it this way on purpose based on something that I'd seen, though. That's going to be stupid if I based it on fan armor. I'll keep looking, though.
We did grab a few pictures of my armor last night, though...
-
Welcome!
-
I've seen the thigh ammo belt riveted in different positions.Some are up high like ANH and I've seen a couple of screen captures riveted about halfway up. I went with the halfway point as it keeps the thigh ammo belt from pivoting on my armor.
-
I'm still working on this. We had to take a break in order to get my Ghostbusters proton pack built for an event this week. With the pack built, we've come back to my armor.
Today we created the final strapping for the arms. The armor now wears properly. We added a bit of padding to the left side arm and leg so that they fit me better.
The last remaining task is to mount the shoulder bridges to the armor. Because of the rubber armor trim, the bridges can't sit flush on the armor. We've removed a little of the bridge curvature with a heat gun and that has helped but not enough to fix the problem. So now we're creating plastic spacers on the underside of the forward end of the shoulder bridges to bridge the gap. This seems to be working. Once the E6000 sets on the spacers we'll put some industrial Velcro in there and that should fix the problem.
-
My ROTJ replica hardhat liner and the chin straps have been installed in the helmet. The arm strapping is the last remaining bit to do.
I can very easily see the discrepancy between the armor trim and the armor. I've noted it ever since the armor arrived years ago. The only feasible thing to do, if I were to try and make them match, would be to paint the trim. But the trim is rubber and rubber just doesn't take paint very well. My boot soles took around ten coats of paint to make them white and they certainly aren't perfect.
-
The armor's out back under cover at the moment. The paint keeps smudging, despite drying for days. It seems alright now, but I've clear-coated everything under multiple coats and I'm leaving it to fully dry outside. The temperature is 38 today (in the 90s if you're used to Fahrenhiet). The heat ought to dry everything completely. I'll check on it in a few hours.
Right side of the helmet with new rank bars. Yes, that's accurate S-trim underneath the helmet put on correctly.

My deep and sincere thanks to you all. Looking at your collective kudos (First EIB For the Carolina Garrison, First ANH Centurion, and First ICN EIB) I consider myself to be in august company.
Cheers!
