Brickfest is a great way to get rid of excess collectible cards. I'm all out and need to order more. Fun hanging out with the Order.

Looks like a good fit, but would be nice to see a photo with a bit more context. Good work.

Update! Me and Nairy had a chat yesterday on messenger about the locking mechanism and we came up with a solution. Take a plastic strip about 50 mm wide and and 200mm long, glue one half on the armor and put velcro on the other half and tadaaa! i hope this help someone else who have same problem Thanks Nairy Put them on for a test and they fit like a glove! and i started to print Thigh armor yesterday and i´m out of filament now. Size feels right but i must wait and see when the back side is complete

Wiring is optional, there are quite a few old threads on the subject, here's just one Interesting thread on RPF

That's awesome Tony. I've already paid for them and don't mind sending you the money. Thanks brother.

I love this comment. It should be something you have fun with, and not something to stress about. It's a hobby, right? ;-) Keep up the great work!

Hey Terry, send me a PM. You pay for the shipping and I'll repair the tips for free.

This is all the fantastic detail stuff I was looking for. I will start looking into it and figure out how to move forward with the EIB approvals (I built with Centurion in mind).

After having a crazy busy summer, I have finally had time to submit my photos and received my garrison approval and have my official TKID!

Yep R1.

It is. The draft CRL should match the R1 CRL iirc. Well bar the gold and cracking.

Hey folks, Pretty late in my progress but I'll try to give all of you a bit of a overview along the progress. Pictures may vary a bit as I'm gathering all my pictures from all the different sources. Hope all of you got fun, as always I'm open to critics or suggestions! Started as a 3D-print, everything exept greeblies in ABS on my RatRig Vcore and my Bambu P1S I'll save you from a lot of sanding pictures, files was mixed for maximum perfection: Painted everything in Ral9016 Pretty happy with the paintjob, nearly too nice to destroy later on https://imgur.com/HlNQ0jf First fitting, don't judge yet, there is more to come and I'm still not done at the moment Fitted the Cogs, already gave me a good amount of headache Didn't like any colour I had so i mixed it myself Started Strapping Gold. A lot of gold (total run time for gold leaving approximatly 15h) Prepared Strips to make the border of the Kama Top already strapped, undersuit is still to loose and the wrong colour started weathering...and took everything of later on as I wasn't quite pleased I clear coated everything between 4 and 10 times to give the gold leaving enough protection (always freaked me out when the clear coat was drying) Sewing the undersuit tighter fitted the eyes perfectly (took a lot of trial and error!) Also looks pretty creepy from the inside Getting closer with fitting, ignore loose belts and neck seals! started weathering again after endless youtube sessions and trying to find my way gave everything after rethinking and redoing another coat of varnish, two heavy layers and one dusting to get the right sheen started with the blaster, not much to add here, mostly abs with a handle out of resin and knobs out of aluminium Shoulder belts added, waiting for the correct ones Kama, done by my wonderful friend Anne / @Xavenia (more on this later) coloured the undersuit darker Still a good amount of work, but I'm positive to be done soon!

Here we go, first pictures just came in: As I always said, the weathering is spot-on in my eyes, all in all it's a matter of lighting and a good person behind the camera. I am 100% pleased with what came out of this built. There are minor changes I but nothing big. The changes I want to do: Extending the gloves so they don't slot put this easily. Rubber band on the undershirt so I can fix it to my hand and save myself from constantly pulling it up. Giving the shoes to a shoemaker to get a thinner shaft because it's quite tight with the shin armor Some more push buttons to prevent slipping of some parts while moving. Weathering the shores (totally forgot that, my bad) 🤣 Blaster handles. Neck seal (I used another one as I the other one slipped out too often)

So here are some fitting test pics: To-Do's: Shoes (arriving on tuesday) Getting Velcro on the gloves (once they are fully dried) Strengthen the attatchment of the lower legs (any ideas anyone? at the moment its just velcroed on the front and thats not enough) other neckseal (I got some more to test here) Belt(s) and holsters Shoulder belts (still unsure what to do)

Here are all the hard parts: Helmet: Upper Armor (front/back/shoulder straps) Abdomen Backplate (I hope it's acceptable to ignore the fastener, its dissappearing under the upper part and is giving a better grip for a better fitting) Shoulders Bizeps Forearms Thight(s) (second following for obvious reasons) Shins Blaster

Hi Jonatan, and THANKS for your submission for ANH Hero EI! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. -Well Jonatan, as we mentioned in the other request, the screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. The right ear could be improved. The left ear is perfect. Reference images -The brow trim is a little high for a Hero(as a general rule, Stunt TKs' trim sits higher, as opposed to Hero). If you can lower it a bit, that would be great. Reference images -Some dressing issues here. As we also told you, troopers who are tall have this problem with their forearms. Your biceps are well positioned, and cannot be lowered more. Again, I would suggest lowering your forearms a little more so that they are a little closer to the handguards. Reference images -Your thighs are a bit low and rotated(also both shins). Remember: "Always check that the armor is perfectly aligned and symmetrical on both sides"(If you don't have a mirror, don't be afraid to ask someone for help). Reference images Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. -It seems that the belt(canvas), is too wide. Maybe if you move the plastic down a little, you can align both correctly. Reference images Well Jonatan, as you can see, you are 5 minutes away from your 2nd Centurion. Congratulations!
