I don't see any reasons why the Death Troopers wouldn't be able to submit for EIB and Centurion, like any Extended Universe armors. Why the CRL would had been written if it was useless? I think there's no EIB death trooper yet because it's a rather uncommon costume. Would worth a kudos

I think we have had some really good submissions lately. Between Tehcaveman, zoekoner, WideAMG, PreD, TK-5906, Dogliani, SorenM, etc... there have been some excellent armors submitted. So i don't really see what you're complaining about. And also don't confound EIB with Centurion. The level of exigence is way different between both. As Centurion isn't aiming to be a perfect Replica.

In fact no guns in the film had electronics. Only the Stunt guns (the Bapty ones i guess) had a physical firing system making nose and smoke. And in addition i have absolutely no knowledge in electronics, so it makes two good reasons for me to not like it .

I'm no expert with Han's specific armor, but it would be nice if you had the same biceps hooks combinaison he had: Also i think Han wears a combinaison of both Alternative and Standard Handguards. To be confirmed, but the "Photo References" section is closed at the moment i'm writing this and i'm lazy finding a pic and uploading it.

The side rivets are the same than the crotch rivet; brass split rivets 8mm head. Just leave the crotch rivet unpainted unlike the side rivets. The ammo pack rivets aren't supposed to be split rivets, even though they're accepted. They're should be CAP rivets (or Speed rivets) with a 7mm head. The two snaps on the butt plate are male snap. Ubber accurate would be Newey size size 4 studs

That gap is perfectly fine. This is just how the shins are. And that's why it's required for the shins to close inward, so that gap is almost never noticeable when fully equipped. People usually don't put their head between your legs

Though i think you have what it needs for EIB , Centurion will require few adjustements. The way you trimmed your ab buttons seems wrong, they should be flat and then glued to the armor: Your ammo thigh rivets will need to be removed, swapped for proper rivets (CAP or split rivets), and then relocated to the thigh bottom ridges: I would also lengthen your shoulder straps and tighten the ab/kydney straps in order to close the gap you have between your kydney and back plates. And of course i would add a strap between your biceps and forearms to prevent any elbow gaps when your arms are at side. it's also great to prevent them from twisting or pinching: You will also need a cocking lever on your blaster

Looks like the perfect timing between the blaster build and the armor!! Is the armor all built by Paul too, or is it just the helmet? And i gotta say that the inner bolt looks completely different now with the washes. That blaster is an absolute piece of art! Frohe Ostern to you too

CAP rivets with a 7mm head should be used. But Split rivets are accepted too.

Looks... real ! I'm just not convinced by the inner bolt grey, but all the rest is really gorgeous! On which picture have you based this grey? And have you ordered better Power Cylinders than the Doopy ones or you just don't want to put some on your blaster? And didn't you ordered a new mag from Gazmosis?

She's really beautiful, congrats on the excellent work! Will you dab some white paint on the brackets heads though?

I can't believe what i'm seeing! This is... breathtaking For the videos put these tags around your video link and it should work (just replace the * with a "h"): [flash=420,315]Link to your video[/flas*]

Oups, i forgot you also had an original rear Sterling section! This project is getting better an better

Great first complete fitting! Your arms strapping is winner! And except from this right shoulder bell there's not that much to improve . The belt could sit higher on the abdominal plate. Its top should be right under the lower ab buttons, or slightly covering them.

Man you got so many ongoing project!! But they're all very interesting to follow I saw you had to cut your pipe toward the back before the rounded hole of the cocking channel to be able to slide the inner bolt inside, but wasn't it possible to dismount the cocking lever from the inner bolt instead?

They're not "in bed" with him, they just respect someone who is transparent in his creation process.

Yes. You might just need to add a D-ring as any Hyperfirm if it's not provided with the blaster.

Unrelated with the thighs but i would also flatten your drop boxes as they look very thick right now: And also set the upper right male snap on the abdominal plate and the six left side rivets.

Good thing to post those pictures these days Have you finished the "swoop" yet?

I tried very hard... but found nothing to complain about Perhaps just some umber/black washes on the silver aeras to give them some weathering and be more consistent with the main gun which is (wonderfully) weathered.

That finish is astonishing!! The colour and weathering patterns look so real, this is amazing. It's nice to see a that much detailed paint-job, and i wish i found a thread like that before painting mine

Yes, your end caps are just too close from the end boxes. Look at the picture i linked above (you can click it for a better resolution) you will see that the ends caps aren't right next to the end boxes but there's a gap between them.

Don't get too bothered, nothing dramatic here!

Paint seems great! But looking at the scope rail hole, isn't it a bit weird? It should be a full circle like most of the others
