A couple of notes...i didnt realize my knee was under my thigh in the pics, it normally would not sit this way, but the Finance didnt know any better . The holster is self made in a similar style to the originals. However i didnt have enough leather to make it wrap around the front like the screen used ones, so its a separate piece of leather with 6 black rivets holding the blaster in place.

 

 

Id like to go Centurion with this but im not sure if it will pass due to the 1/2" gap on my sides, and the slightly off holster. If you guys think it can pass centurion let me know. Otherwise i think im happy with EIB.

 

thanks guys!

excellent work Lou!!! Approved and a great looking ESB build.

 

the only issue i can see is the visible white velcro attaching the hand plates but that is a minor strapping issue. you may want to change the velcro to black but that is a minor strapping malfunction

 

actually the only thing you need to fix for centurion is the hand plates so i say go for it!!!

 

 

• If rubber gloves are worn the hand plates shall be affixed via an elastic strap over the palm.
  
• If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates shall have the correct visible stitching pattern using black cotton, with a five point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, and needs to be double stitched at each point.

Awesome! thanks Mason!

 

Doe! yea thats a malfunction! I actually have no velcro on the handplates themselves so they were moving around. Thats an easy fix! Awesome..i will apply for Centurion soon as well! woot!

Congrat Lou!! Great suit! I love seeing more ESB TKs come in.

 

Your ESB promo E11 is sweet!

[Darth Voorhees[501st]]

Thanks guys! This is technically my 4th TK armor build, so this time i think i got it right! There was always something i wanted to fix with my armor, but aside from dropping afew pounds, im happy with this armor, looksand movement wise! I will be building an ANH helmet and belt as well as blaster and holster so i can use this armor for both ANH and ESB.

an extra belt, for rivets for the holster, a new helmet and hero handplates and you can go for your 3rd eib too!
