MUST HAVE

Armor Details[/color]

* White Stormtrooper armor, made in ABS, HIPS, or fiberglass.

* Black Gloves made of rubber, leather, or leather like material. Black nomex flight gloves are an acceptable alternative.

* Black under suit, either one-piece or two piece. Non-textured material. Commonly used items include “UnderArmor” or “Starter” warm-up suits, or dance unitards.

* White, ankle high, lace less, Stormtrooper boots. The boots are usually made from leather or vinyl, with small U-shaped elastic sections on either side of the ankle, and an approx. 1” heel.

* Drop boxes (small rectangular parts attached to stormtrooper’s belts, above the thigh), connected to the belt via white straps

* O2 Canister (aka thermal detonator) center mounted on the back of the belt

* "Buttons and ridges" ab plate, as opposed to the flat rectangular ab plate of sandtroopers

* Polygon knee plate mounted on the left shin, as opposed to the diamond knee plate of sandtroopers

* Ribbed shoulder straps

* Black ribbed neck seal. The ribs should be horizontal, not be loose, and should extend from the base of the neck to the top of the Adam's apple.

* Correctly colored and sized ab plate buttons. Buttons are approximately 7/16" in diameter.

* No visible rivets on shoulder straps

* Belt should be canvas or canvas covered, approximately 3" wide.

* Separate kidney and butt pieces rather than a single back piece. Cut should be visible below the belt.

* Side gaps must be closed. A shim can be used to bridge any noticeable gap. Ideally shims will be added in a seamless fashion to the ab/kidney plates to emulate these parts of the armor meet in the middle though this is not required. The shim must be made of matching plastic or painted to match the suit - no fabric closures are allowed.

 

 

Helmet Details

* Black Hovi-Mix cast “tusks”

* Blue tube stripes

* IMPORTANT: FX helmets are NOT considered acceptable for Expert Infantryman qualification.

 

 

Blaster Details

* Scratch-built, resin cast, hyperfirm rubber cast, or modified toy blaster.

* Ammo Magazine

* Folding stock (does not need to function)

* Scope

* D-Ring on the end

* Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast.

-- Total of 6 T-racks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the Hengstler side uncovered)

* Hasbro blasters:

-- Total of 7 T-racks (if you cover all the original Hasbro rows of holes)

-- or 6 T-racks (if you cover the original Hasbro "open row" of holes on the Hengstler side. Below this, you must grind off the original Hasbro lower T-rack and drill a new row of holes)

-- Hasbro blasters are discouraged but allowed

[ObiHahn[TK]]

I have made an observation that I think never popped up in any EIB/Centurion discussions: some people insist on using seperate ab plate buttons (the kind that are affixed via screws or such nonsense). Only painted ab buttons that are part of the vac-formed armor piece are accurate.

 

I think these single screw-on buttons should not be allowed for EIB or Centurion, where do I "officially" propose such details?

[SuperTrooper]

I think it warrants a discussion for Centurion. I'd start a new thread here about it and see what peoples thoughts are.

[senna1rossi[TK]]

on CRL for ANH stunt, it indicates that blasters are an optional item?

 

"Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present must meet the guidelines below."

 

does this mean that anyone can be apporved for EIB without owning and showing their blasters for EI submittal?

[Daetrin[Admin]]

No - for EI & Centurion it goes beyond CRL.
