trooperchewy Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Do you have to be a 501st member to get EIB status? Tried using the search but I wasn't finding anything Sorry if this has been answered Quote
dashrazor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 yes, but if your armor is up to EIB specs you shouldn't have any issue joining the 501st. unless you are under 18yrs old Quote
trooperchewy Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 The only problem is, Is that I've had bad luck with "costuming groups", and granted the 501st is probably far superior to the group I was previously in as far as chairty work and organization, but I was just wondering if you could achieve the status with out being part of the 501st. Not even sure I wanna be part of another costuming group, so I was just asking. Matt Quote
dashrazor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 i assure you the 501st is not comparable to other costuming groups its like comparing apples to oranges. if you like i can review your armor unofficially. but you must be 501st to get EIB. Quote
trooperchewy Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 I'm still in the building process, But i'm doing everything by EIB standards as I build so I hopefully wont have to go back a fix very much. So Dashrazor when I finish it I would very much appreciate that Matt Quote
dashrazor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 just post your build here http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showforum=61 and feel free to message me when the time comes i suggest you check out your local garrison forums http://www.az501st.com/ even if you only troop once a year i can approve you for EIB if you join Quote
sith_241 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 501st is a great group. I recommend joining, even if you dont troop much. Quote
SolderMaster Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 To Matt You will join us...or die! Honestly Matt, the 501st Legion is an awesome group of people. I am VERY happy I joined and have met some amazing people. I will have friends for life thanks to the 501st! Give us a chance, you will NOT be disappointed! Quote
JKCHEN Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 To Matt, Brian just said all I wanna say, I 1000% agree with him!!! Join Us! the Empire needs you~ Quote
trooperchewy Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Posted May 10, 2011 well hopefully it'll still be EIB acceptable since I figured out I have the shim the heck out of it since its TE armor, and i'm a bit of a big kid. So we will see if it gets approved by 501st or not. But, I will join the Darkside....since some one said you guys have cookies Quote

trooperchewy Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 yea, the gap is pretty bad, I have to look into getting rt-mod armor, the te2 armor has a good 3-4 inch gap that needs to be fixed on my kidney to cod section. But I'll just shim it for the con im using it for first an then either alter it or get new armor. Quote
dashrazor Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 3 inch gaps aren't too bad. and if shimmed correctly are fine for EIB Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Really - anything more than a small gap should be shimmed. It's pretty easy to do. Quote
trooperchewy Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Sweet! feel much better about the shimming now. Thanks Guys Quote
