Hi Alex!! Great to see your Centurion App that fast. I'll be with you asap.

Hey here are the shots of my 5. troop - at Outpost One again

Due to the delay in any movement on this submission we are considering it inactive. If you would like to continue, please get in touch with any member of the D.O. staff. Thanks!

My name is Sean and I live in Jacksonville, Fl. I just acquired a complete set of ANH stormtrooper armor with the goal of upgrading it to join the 501st. I'm completely new at this and just had the good fortune of coming across the armor. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

Great job, Alex! Good luck!

Thanks! I definitely should have worked on the placement a little more before riveting. I’ll definitely remember to keep that in mind when working on another kit or I’ll see if there are any fixes I can work on right now.

Photos are a little low on resolution so hard to make out details. One piece that does pop out is the helmet, it's a 3 piece helmet which I have not seen for some years, could be an old NE armor (now AP) This image is from an old NE build, same 3 piece helmet (top left) You can compare other pieces in this build thread I would check with your GML (garrison membership liaison) as to if the helmet will be approvable or not. I would dare say it would be noticed for higher level acceptance here on FISD.

I know this isn't screen accurate and it's not for everyone. But I tried it out on a friends build and it works pretty good! I made a video that describes a "tab to slot" closure for the right side of the torso. This prevents the abdomen from becoming misaligned with the kidney. I think a few people have done something similar to this but I've never done it on one of my builds. It's simply some scrap 2mm thick and plastic glued to the kidney side. It has a slight bend in the plastic along the edge of the kidney, may 10-15 degrees. This lines up with a slot on the abdomen that's also made from 2mm abs plastic, glued to 2 risers. The total lentgh of the tab and slot could vary depending on armor type, so I didn't include that info. But the tab sticks out about 1.25" from the kidney. The slot is made from a 1.25" wide strip, sitting on two 1.25" x 1.25" squares, glued to the abdomen. The torso can be held shut with a simple Tandy line 24 snap which is visible on the upper corner of the abdomen.
