That sounds like a good plan to me. And as Dan's picture below shows, the original trigger indeed rests deeper into that section and with a different angle. As a last option, you could also contemplate to shorten the front end of the trigger to get the required space between it and the guard.

Thanks for highlighting this, Patrick. The photos were taken while I was in the armor, so unfortunately I do not have such pictures. Adding these now is not that easy, because the armor is displayed on a mannequin. Will see what I can do...

Steady Dan That is just the request. Let's wait and see...

Hi Tom and welcome to the FISD. Glad to see you started your own build thread and it looks like you are already in best hands. You are right. The aluminum stripe from your kit is just long enough to make the scope rail and that counter bracket at the side. For the trigger guard you would need a separate piece of aluminum. If a person takes a completion set WITH the fully finished scope rail, the aluminum stripe from that kit will be left over and can then be used for the trigger guard. But I would not worry too much. On my first DoopyDoo's blaster I also made a working trigger with that standard resin trigger guard. It is possible.

Tino Jacobs 61276 EIB A4 Tony Thanks in advance http://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/61276-eib.png

Thank you very much, Shane. I see, you went through all this as well. Going to prepare for the next step soon... Unfortunately I already have a busy schedule for this weekend, but will do my best to request the Centurion during the next days. Your "Blaster Master" had to downgrade the E-11 to get EIB approval. Crazy world, heh?! Thank you Jesse. Can not wait to go ahead...

Hi Tony, thank you very much for your fast reply, the EIB approval and the EIB badge. A great feeling - and another step for the March to 1000 program. Glad to be a part of it now. Also thanks for highlighting the position of the Thermal Detonator clips. The CRL says "little to no gap" and I thought this would be accepted as "little". Anyway, I will use the next days to correct this, take new photos and then submit for Centurion. Maybe Santa Claus brings a special birthday present this year...

Okay Tony. Blaster type, link to the blaster and the blaster photos have now been updated with a different build.

Hi Tony, thank you for your comment. This specific E-11 blaster was built to have as many details as possible from a real Sterling SMG 9mm, including the interior. The inner bolt is in the pulled-position and due to the electronics inside, I can not move it forward. That means the ejector port is permanently open. Although having pictures in my build thread, proving this is screen accurate, I fully get your point and will soon replace the pictures with a different blaster I have...

Yes, cut the outstanding part of the nail, then glue it and seal the holes with greenstuff. Just make sure to do this at the correct moment of your build progress, as you might have to dismantle it a couple of times until you are done with the build.

Another success Patrick! Congratulations (again ) for reaching your final personal goal with this armor (far earlier than you had expected). Looking forward to our next troop/event.

That brings a question to my mind: Would a trooper lose the EIB and Centurion, if the armor is being altered AFTER the approval of levels 2 and 3? Not thinking about doing this, just curious to know.

Yep, I fully agree to Dan's suggestion. Spade bits are the best choice for this type of drilling work. Just make sure you grab a set with a 25mm spade bit, as that will be required if you are planning to install the big end from the monocular into your scope (like you can see here).

Thanks for posting your build steps in such a detailed manner. This will surely encourage and help other people here to successfully complete their own builds and get more out of these resin kits, than just gluing and spray-painting them.

Exactly what Dan (CableGuy) already said. Just keep your tools and fingers wet while working with it and allow at least 24 hours to dry. If you run out of greenstuff, let me know.

Woohoo, congratulations on this double-achievement! Can only imagine how great this must feel, mate. After all the work, you deserve it. Have a fantastic weekend.

Fred, in your Completion Set is a piece of foam, wrapped around some screws and sealed with a cable tie. If you open it, you will also find a nail for your trigger mod and several mounting screws. These can be used to attach the grip to the receiver tube.

That first step already individualizes your build, as painting is usually one of the last steps. The black coating might cause an issue when it comes to gluing things. But you can always sand down to the pure resin before you glue and add paint again later. So, all good. Nothing done wrong yet - and the bright color of the resin will highlight your modifications.

Looks like a DoopyDoo's full resin kit to me, where somebody hollowed the front sight cage. It has all the typical characteristics. Just rotate the end cap to bring the two bulges downside. Back to topic now and good luck with your EIB request.

Voted Very nice designs

Thanks Dan. While doing the weathering, I was on the fence to go all dirty but will safe this up, in case it starts yellowing some day. Let's wait and see... Got your point, Tom. On my first picture it looks a bit like walking could be an issue, but during the last 3 years it never was. I even went upstairs and downstairs with this armor several times and had no problems. The gaps between the upper legs and the cod piece are varying from small to none - depending on the size of the trooper and the daytime (no joke). In this ANH screenshot you will find gap-variations from big to none, so I will wait if Tony or Andrew see a problem here. A photo of the D-ring has not been uploaded, as this is not stated in the current EIB photo checklist. But the ring can easily be spotted in both side view pictures. I am much more concerned about something else on this blaster...

That inner bolt looks soooo much better now.
