68Brick[TK] Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hi All, I've felt inspired to share some pictures of my progress since receiving my big brown box. The excellent build threads (and EIB & Centurion Submission photos) here have given me great direction in my build. Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thermal Detonator painted and assembled. It may not pass for level 3 501st approval due to the placement of the clips. Centurion should still be attainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Great job so far, Brad! Perfect bends on the TD clips, but I would suggest moving them closer to the caps. The CRLs state for Centurion that there should be "Little or no gap" between the clips and the end caps. (Glad to hear you are shooting for the top level)! I am envious as hell of your E-11... fantastic attention to detail!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Did you trim the top return edge of your shins off or did they come like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Brick[TK] Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 A bit of both. At the top of the shin, the sides have a strong return edge, the back never had one, and the front was inconsistent from one half to the other (one had a very small return and the other was trimmed right down). I trimmed the one side to make them match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looking great so far, think you should consider shooting for Centurion, as your build is very tidy. It is easier to aim for the top as you go, so you wont have to go back and modify things a a later date. Good luck with the rest of your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Took the heat gun to the AP Sniper Knee Plate. It was looking ugly to fit, but I think I made the best of it. We'll see when the E6000 Dries. Hopefully I put enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
