My friend and I ended up taking over 200 photos so I’m currently sifting through them and getting them ready for Expert Infantryman and Centurion submission. 

 

Wish me luck! :)

nice pics Tim, and awesome build    :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:

 

Thank you!  ^_^

 

Very nice Tim, very nice  :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:

 

I'm assuming these are the pics to shot up to our GML also correct?

 

Beautiful

 

Thank you!  ^_^

 

I sent these photos and a few extras of my helmet to the last email address you sent me. I'm not sure if he's the GML, but his name was Roger R.

 

Should I send the photos to another person too?

Very nice set of pictures and armor. It always very exciting the first time you see yourself all suited up like that.

 

Tune down that brass on your Hyperfirm's scope and you should be good to go for Centurion. It might not be compulsory but i think it will be suggested.

Thank you! It was very exciting wear the whole suit and take photos of the whole experience.  :smiley-sw013:

 

Thank you for the suggestion, ukswrath (Tony) and I were also discussing minor tweaks that will probably come up while applying for EIB and Centurion.  

 

Thank you again for all your help!

Hey all  ^_^

 

Great news, I'm GGG Approved!! 

 

Right now I'm just waiting to hear back from the 501st about my Legion ID Number, I was going to wait and announce it all at the same time, but the suspense was killing me! 

 

I do have 2 minor changes to my armor that were requested:

 

Required: 

 

1 - The forearms need to be adjusted so they are not as large around. Try to make the forearms smaller and taper a little towards the wrist. 

 

Suggested: 

 

2 - The thigh armor seems very close to your cod/butt armor. See if you can put a little more space. This may help to prevent pinching while trooping.

 

 

I'll be working on the forearms this week/weekend and post photos of the updates here. As for the thigh armor, my thigh garter belt is extremely adjustable, so I probably just need loosen the straps a bit to have it sit a little lower.

 

Thats about it for now, I'll post my Legion ID Number once I get the email!

 

Thanks again everyone for your help!  :smiley-sw013:

Tim I would suggest starting a EIB request thread. There your piers and gazmosis can also critique and give you advice what to do. Kill two birds with one stone.

 

Great job  :jc_doublethumbup:

Great idea, I'll gather all the requested changes first (from GGG and the EIB request thread) then start working on fixing my armor.  :duim:

Ohh snap! 

 

So, I haven't received my email from the 501st, but I searched my name in the 501st members and here I am! 

http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=19018&costumeID=124

 

Speaking of emails, I didn't get the confirmation of 501st submission email either... maybe typed my email in wrong on the submission form? Or is there usually a delay in receiving these emails?

I'd love to see how that fantastic garter system of yours fits together, it looks extremely adjustable and really comfy. If you ever decide to do a run I'd definitely be interested ;)  

 

Thank you  ^_^

It is quite comfy and really adjustable. My friend came up with the rig, I'm not sure if he would want to do a run of them, but I'll tap him and see if he would be interested.

Hey All,

 

It’s been a busy but exciting week! 

 

First off, I’m EIB approved! 

 

That said, I have 2 required corrections and 1 suggested correction to make before applying for Centurion. 

 

Gathering the GGG and Centurion corrections, my work list is as follows:

 

Required: 

1 - Adjust Forearms so they are not as large around. [GGG]

2 - Fix belt location on ab plate [C]

3 - Tone down the gold on Blaster [C]

 

Suggested: 

1 - Adjust thigh harder to lower thighs [GGG]

2 - Trim length of cover strips on some parts [C]

 

Not a bad list of corrections for my first time building Stormtrooper armor  :smiley-sw013:

 

 

This week I also received my mannequin from TK Products :

Pretty nice mannequin, he’s about 2 inches taller than me, and overall I’m extremely happy with it. 

 

That’s about it for now, once I receive my replacement Ab Plate in the mail I’ll start on these corrections. 

 

Looking forward to receiving my Centurion approval then head out trooping with the GGG!

Wow for a joblesspunk you sure have nice things in that room...lol  :laugh1:

As for your list:

 

Required: 

1 - Adjust Forearms so they are not as large around. [GGG] NOT REQUIRED, suggested

2 - Fix belt location on ab plate [C] Required

3 - Tone down the gold on Blaster [C] Required

 

Suggested: 

1 - Adjust thigh garter to lower thighs [GGG] I personally think they're fine where they are. If they're aligned with the ab and don't pinch your groin I would leave them as is.  Choice is yours

 

2 - Trim length of cover strips on some parts [C] Highly recommended

 
Great job Tim
