Dday[501st] Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Name= Derrek ID= TK80082 Garrison = German (Arma Candida) Armor= TM 1.5mm Helmet= TM Hero (hand painted) Blaster= DoopyDoo full resin kit Height = 6'6", 77inches, 198cm Weight = 230lbs, 104kilo, 16.4 stone Boots = TKBoots Canvas belt = TKittel Gloves= Black rubber chemical Hand Plates = Sonnenshine Electronics= TKVox Nano amp with Hovi Mix tips Neck Seal = Darman Hero large bib Holster = dday (hey, thats me!) I imagine based on the EIB submission, you expected to see this one following directly after. Front Practicing my Vader pose Back Left Right Action Gloves/Handguards Blaster Interior/Strapping Helmet Miscellaneous Photo of box backs was taken last week with my old gloves (nomex), I forgot to take this one new with the new gloves (in photos above). Also waiting on a new garter from Vader Dave, since this one is not my finest crafting work. So the snap showing and worn out elastic will be gone soon. Forgot to take a picture of the neck seal bib in this photo session, so using one I took a little bit back. You can see the ribs on my seal in earlier photos but this is the only one where you can actually see the full bib included.

Dday[501st] Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 The odd thing is that 80085 was not available and no one has it.... I think they took a few numbers out at the top level. Imperial reservations or something. I will be fixing the tears on the lid in a few days, slimming the lines, but I don't think that should stop a centurion award. At least I hope it doesn't.

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 No, the tear lines doesn't really hold you back when the rest of the armour is so nice. Just remember to post a picture of the fixed tears once you're done. I would also suggest giving the split rivets another whack with the hammer to get the legs more flat. Not that you're risking them opening, just to not have to worry about something getting caught by the legs and tear the undersuit or something. Good work Derrek.

Dday[501st] Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Thanks Mathias! I also thought about those catching, but didn't have a problem yet... however, it only takes once to ruin an undersuit. I will pop them a few times more. I actually stayed away from the hammer since I didn't want to bend the cap out of shape, so only used pliers to spread them. I'll post up the fixed tears when I get back from the USA in two weeks and have the time to get some paint on it.

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 If you want even more accuracy you can replace the rivets on the TD with flat head machine screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Congrats Derek. Welcome to Centurion! if you are concerned about the split rivets catching and dont wanna givem them another tap of the hammer, use a small piece of tape to cover the legs. Please report to the Certificate printing counter and then go blast some Rebel scum yelling I'm Centurion B!tches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEDISTAR[TK] Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Congrats bro! I really like your idea of having the elastic to hold down the shoulder straps attached to the white elastic bands holding the chest and back together, making it a 1-step connection when suiting up!
