obrotherracing[TK] Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Though I'm happy with my results, I realized there is a more efficient way to do the THIGHS and SHINS. Unfortunately I learned this AFTER building mine. Anyone know a good resource for replacements??? I posted in the BUY/TRADE forum, and unfortunately AM does not produce "pieces." Any help or direction is GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrotherracing[TK] Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ralph - That's Awesome!!! I was contemplating it, but a $500 price tag is a bit steep for me. Though it's not totally out of the question right now. When will they find out their segment??? Keep me updated. Would love to meet some new people out here.

obrotherracing[TK] Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 So I recently purchased a SCOOTCH helmet kit from someone on the RPF. My questions are these: 1. What are the specific screws used for the ears? 2. How flush/even/lined-up does the opening/neck need to be before putting on the neck trim/molding? I searched multiple threads, but couldn't find anything that answers these two questions; not to say that there ISN'T one though. Thanks in advance!!

obrotherracing[TK] Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Got lots of help with the SCOOTCH bucket; even from SCOOTCH himself!!! Will be doing some color/wet sanding this evening, as well as HOPEFULLY painting of the vocoder and ranking on the ear caps. I will get a couple of progress pics for the post.

obrotherracing[TK] Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Here's where my SCOOTCH ESB Bucket it; I feel it's complete, but I'm going to leave it to the seasoned experts. All decals, except for on the earcap/rank square, frown & vocoder (used TESTORS). Mic Tip screens were taken from actual sink faucet aerators. Lenses are deep, dark green, single piece. Trying to decide if I do the foam "star" or the helmet style insert for inside. As usual, any input or constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcomed!! Thanks....

naatsirhc[TK] Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nice job! Look forward to trooping with you in the future. I think you will be our 4th ESB tk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrotherracing[TK] Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks for the input everyone!!! I'm hoping to submit pics by this weekend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrotherracing[TK] Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 PICS were submitted and I was APPROVED!!!! Based on what I have been told, there are only a small handful of us EP5 TKs here in So CA. I still have some small mods to make, and I would like to eventually submit for CENTURION; however, for now.....WOO HOO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Congrats from a fellow ESB trooper (though I don;t often troop that config). Good luck with the mods for EIB and Centurion. Don't forgot to show some photos to prove it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 PICS were submitted and I was APPROVED!!!! Based on what I have been told, there are only a small handful of us EP5 TKs here in So CA. I still have some small mods to make, and I would like to eventually submit for CENTURION; however, for now.....WOO HOO!!! Congrats! I don´t want to bring you down, but with the AM you will not be able to reach Centurion. At least you would need to change the chest and backplate for more accurate ones. But EIB would be a good start, I was in the same boat, also reached EIB with an AM. Good luck on your way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrotherracing[TK] Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks MINUTEMAN! I was kind of aware of that. Oh well; it is what it is. I have been modding it (CHEST & BACK) significantly with sheers, dremmel and hot iron. If nothing else, I'm getting CLOSER to screen accurate. Thanks again for the support!
