Congratulations to #1,000. Woo hoo! The Emperor will be pleased!!!!! LOL!!!! Great job!

Keep it going, Steve! Almost there! I'm excited for you!

Thanks again Dan. I really appreciate your help and your friendship!!!

You’ve done a nice job with the shims on your sides! Take a look at the back of your left shin and see if you can tighten up the gap. The right one is tighter. From the front you look like an imposing trooper and I wouldn’t want to mess with you!! Nice work!!!!

Thanks, Tony! Not sure if I'm worthy, but I do like cutting, sanding, and gluing plastic, LOL! Thanks again!

Thanks so very, very much, Sha Sha for your guidance and encouragement! I wasn't even sure I could get basic approval when I began, let alone EIB and Centurion! Needless to say I am thrilled and looking forward to getting out there and trooping with my squad. After all, we're here to put smiles on faces and spread our love and joy of Star Wars to everyone! I look forward to more builds and for continued contributions to the FISD and the 501st. Thanks again!!!!

Thanks so much. It was a quite a ride! But I enjoyed it immensely! :-)

Thanks, Joseph! I appreciate the kind words. I really enjoyed building this kit and learned a lot from so many people along the way! Honestly, I'd forgotten that you make the "Han" style hand guards and probably would've picked up a pair of those (even though in my costuming fantasy mind I'm trying to imitate Luke, LOL). But hell, I'll save a few pennies and grab some down the road just so I have them as well. I'm assuming Sha Sha will do my official review, and again, thanks so much for your time and help. It's been a really positive experience and certainly heightened my love of Star Wars (even as I scrutinize the armor of every trooper in every film I see now, ha ha). Take care!

It’s great to see another hero TK get approved! Welcome trooper!!

Hi, Sha Sha! Thanks so very much for going over my photos and for awarding me EIB! I'm so happy right now! Building my first stormtrooper kit was a great experience and came at a good time to keep my mind off all the problems of the world! Also, I want to stress that I know yours is a volunteer position, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your time! I'm looking forward to making those corrections you noted, taking some more pictures, and putting together my centurion application. Every trooper I've met has been warm, welcoming, and so very helpful. This really is a wonderful community, and I'm proud to be a part of it! Thanks again. I keep wanting to say may the force be with you, LMAO! For the Empire!

Good luck with your application, Trooper!
