yes that is a base requirement for all 501st stormtroopers not just EIB most folks use a welders lens (tinted face shield) or acetate film over the lens from the CRL http://www.501st.com...ng:TK_anh_stunt Lenses are flat material, green in color, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes.

omg!!! we missed you bro!!!

the back illuminated lens shot is simply to show that the lenses are green tinted. like so as for removing the velcro,, i know it will be a bit of extra work but running it under hot water could make it easier. and adding the new cover strip will cover any glue residue adding the cover strip is the only way to make the overlap correct. the shins fall into having correct armor assembly for base 501st, EIB and Centurion. here is the details from the latest poll There is also a major assembly problem with the AM/FX style greaves/shins armor that affect all levels of the requirements. Please look at tutorial HERE Note: This may be added to the base requirements. *The AM greaves (shins) shall be on the proper legs, with a new cover strip. The cover strip edge shall be facing the inside of the leg.

great looking build!! i wish i could kneel like that the ear screws and vocoder could be fixed but both are minor issues and will not effect your EIB, but if you wanted to apply for centurion i would require them to be fixed. i would also like to see a pic of the helmet with the lenses illuminated. the only major problem is the shin assembly. your shins are on the correct legs but the molded cover strip on the back is on the wrong side. there was a discussion and vote on this issue in the 501st section http://forum.whitear...showtopic=17887 and it was also in the latest newsletter http://forum.whitear...showtopic=18046 the requirements for this style of shin are as follows: The greaves (shins) shall be on the proper legs, with a new cover strip. The cover strip edge shall be facing the inside of the leg. here is a tutorial on fixing this problem http://forum.whitear...showtopic=16608 basically you just need to put the molded cover strip on the inside and add a new cover strip to make a correct overlap. its a pretty simple fix and be aware that your shins are on the correct legs and do not need to be switched

the EFX or MRCE is much better in appearance than the FX and has ample space inside and the head hole is very large. but it will cost a bit more that 150$ also note that the helmet will need to be modified for legion acceptance IMHO just get the ATA helmet. you will get used to the fit after a short time and it will look much better

Oder is not an issue, there is no guarantee that toxic fumes wont be present within the helmet even long after the bleach has evaporated. i will strongly advise you to remove the foam and use a safe method of yellowing. just like carbon monoxide, there may be no noticeable smell but the fumes can be deadly! i am locking this thread as it is not worth risking ones health for the sake of screen accuracy. no furthur discussin will be permitted like i stated before, it is a innovative idea, and it does work as you have shown. but that does not make the method safe... ammonia is sometimes used as a preservative in foam and when combined with bleach could produce a harmful gas! http://www.urbandict...m=mustard%20gas not only does it cause foam to become extremely flammable it can also produce chlorine vapor, it is the basic components of mustard gas!!!

also Styrofoam and bleach (or any chemical solvent) combined produce a homebrew form of napalm!!! ---------

i agree,, not only will bleach break down the foam (it will literally fall apart in a fraction of the time) it could produce toxic fumes within the helmet that could be harmful . while this is a great idea it could be VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!! there are much safer alternatives such as tea or food coloring or even even textile paints,,, that will have the same results and not affect the materials shelf life and produce toxic fumes!!! JUST SAY NO TO BLEACH!!!!!! --------

looks great Eric. Approved! hope i never have to troop next to you lol you'd make me look like a jawa JK

always use the current CRL's http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL ...and if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask!!!

i just answered that in your other post here http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=18123 IMO they look ANH in the pics but its impossible to say 100% as it is an artist rendition..

also for the TKC and ICN ect... it doesn't matter either way the suit is an ANH/ROTJ hybrid so cover strips are (and will likely always be) optional .

i know there are still a few applications pending that just need minor fixes for approval.. were soooo close

if you plan on going ROTJ the ideal way is to do an overlap as seen on screen. but as it stands, there is no centurion requirement for overlaps or cover strips. (this could change in the future). as far as i know there are currently only 2 armor types that are specifically designed to overlap (AM and CFO) though you may be able to force an overlap with an ANH style kit but this might or might not work depending on the kit and a persons body type. so to fully answer your question. cover strips are not required for the time being but can be used for ROTJ armor (though not preferred) i would say if you can get an overlap to work and look decent, by all means do it ... and if you need to use cover strips they are still passable. in some cases the overlap might look bad if the armor is not designed to be assembled that way, or if you have a body type that just wont allow an decent looking overlap can i ask what armor you are using? or planning to use?

another easy pass! Approved! great work Joey and happy holidays

you can have some of mine plenty of snow here and be sure to watch the greatest holiday film of all time The Holiday Special Pt 1 http://files.me.com/jawa_001/2mx99d The Holiday Special Pt 2 http://files.me.com/jawa_001/1rkfag

fantastic!!

great update to you EIB!! and kudos for taking the time to post this you cannot be awarded EI ANH stunt for a second time but your profile photo can be updated. and i am assuming that you intend to apply for centurion? this is an easy pass for EI!!! great work trooper

that should work fine it looks much better!

oh, another option for a working stock is the asahi airsoft super sterling. they are pretty rare but do pop up from time to time also bear in mind that the stock dosnt need to actually function. it just needs to be in the extended position

well. the best way would be to get your hands on a MGC sterling replica or a deactivated C-1 sterling (canadian MP version) both are pretty pricey. alternatively you could make one from scratch here are some templates----------- or the 1.5" templates here----------- or you could use a pipe build from doopydoos or possibly even a hyper-firm and modify it to have a extended stock. you can get a real working stock from apex gun parts for 45$----------- another option would be to cut up a resin (doopy) stock and modify it to the open position

yes that is a good point it will be updated soon!

just a small update. the voting on the proposed ammendment to the CRL and centurion requierments has passed 27 to 4 thanks to all who voted!!!

another easy pass! great job trooper approved!
