  1. Thanks, Glen. If I was to build my own like you, do you happen still have your sources for the parts?
  2. Hi folks, I’m thinking of converting my original ANH Hero TK into a Luke TK. I’m a rather short Stormtrooper so kind of makes sense. Is there a CRL for this? I can’t see anything on the databank. Does anyone know where I can purchase a decent grappling hook? Thanks, Tim
  3. Hi all, Hopefully I’ve come to the right area for this. So, I’m about to fulfil my ambition of having a costume from each episode of the original trilogy by getting a commission build Scout trooper with RS. I’ve decided to go with a commission as my TK build took a long time and I don’t want to take on the helmet as it looks quite tricky. Decision made in that 👍. All that said, I do have some questions: Looking at the CRL, it appears that L2 is the highest level achievable. Is this correct? To achieve L2, are there any common approval issues about the RS Scout commission build I should be aware of? The guys at RS are super helpful and I’m lucky they’re relatively on my doorstep that I can visit in person. I’m sure if there were any elements of my build that I needed in a specific way, they would accommodate as much as possible. Ultimately, I want to try and achieve basic approval as smoothly as I possible can and reduce the number of adjustments needed for the higher levels if I choose to pursue these. Thanks all, Tim
  4. Hi Jeffrey, The very best of luck with your build. I’ve just completed my first build (which was also RS) and it was a wonderful experience. It took just under 2 years for various reasons but so worthwhile. My advice? Embrace the expert opinions and recommendations here on this forum. When you get frustrated, walk away and take a breath. Don’t build when you’re too tired (I so nearly made a critical mistake when working on my armour after a long working day). Measure twice, cut once (or in my case, measure 10 times, sleep on it, measure 10 more times, then cut 🫣) Don’t do anything if you’re unsure. Post a question on here and get the help you need. I look forward to seeing your build and enjoy the journey! Tim
  5. Hi folks, Still buzzing about this and already requested my certificate 😁 Please could someone point me in the direction of where I can order EIB and Centurion patches and decals? I want to bask in the glory of my achievement as much as possible Thanks, Tim

  12. Hi Doggy, I’m just making the alterations for following your recommendations in prep for my Centurion application and I have a question around the gap you mentioned on the back of my right thigh. I already have a piece of ABS there but can’t see too clearly because of the lighting on the picture. I’ve included a close up with this post and let me know whether this will suffice, or what further recommendations you have. Thanks again buddy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Hi all, As part of my goal to get Centurion level, I need to bend my shoulder bridges a little as they’re currently not sitting flat when held down by the elastic. hot water has been the recommendation to do this and I’m wondering if someone could provide a bullet point method, a video would be even better, so I do this correctly and not damage my armour. I do have a heat gun but I’m a little nervous about using this given the shoulder bridges have ridges. Thanks all.
  14. Wow! Thank you so much for approving my armour for EIB and the detailed feedback for my Centurion application, which I will submit soon. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy this moment. When I do come to make the suggested corrections, should I post any questions I have on this thread or my build thread? Thanks again, I’m so pleased. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Hi Doggy, I’ve now made the corrections to my TD which I hope now meets the CRL requirements. Please find photos of this plus the additional helmet photo you requested showing the 3 screws on the ear piece. If you need anything else, just let me know. Thanks, Tim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Hey Doggy, To rectify the TD clip placement, I’ve had to remove the button panel, cover the old clip holes and re-glue (the new holes would have been too close to old ones and would probably have made one bigger hole). I’ve then attached the clips in the correct position. Just as an FYI, my RS build kit came with the clips already attached. I’ll post new pictures tomorrow, along with the additional helmet images. Do you me need to put the full suit back on or are you happy with just the top half so you’re able to see that the TD buttons are angled correctly? Thanks, Tim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. All good with these Doggy. May have questions about the angle of the TD buttons but will see how I get on first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
