TomaToNOR[501st] Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I'm planning on going ANH Elite... Need to paint my frown in a better color, cover the gap on the torso, get a left sided holster and split the back torso. I THINK that should cover it.... Quote
TK1491 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 ..I went and tried to get the belt to sit above the split a bunch of different ways to no avail ..it just would not work/look right with my belt place where I had it in the front just a thought, have you tried using wide velcro strips on the back of the belt and on the sides of your armor to keep it in place? I do that with my current ABS belt and it works like a charm... Quote
Stormtrooper Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Maybe everyone's waiting on their rubber gloves with latex handplates, before submitting for ANH Elite status?! OH, wait... it isn't a requirement after all I always thought that Elite status was a particularly cool idea, and I hope to join the ranks of ANH Elite troopers by the Summer Good idea offering the exclusive decal as well, for obtaining Elite status! Cheers, John Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 Terrell also has another extra super cool idea to get everyone motivated. Doh! Did I just spill beans? Scott is gonna be biddee!! Quote

SuperTrooper Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Like I told Scott, I'm going to try to work him to death with elite applications this year. And yes there is an idea on the table just for elites that will get everyones attention in the Legion. More on this to come later. Quote
Peregrinus Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I've got a lot of parts ordered, and everything else tallied and budgeted and ready to roll. I just got Jen's and my TE2 bucket kits in the mail today. Thanks, Tony -- they're awesome! Everything's likely to take a bit longer, because I'm doing two ANH TKs to high degree of anal-ness. With a third for another friend of mine later this fall. And this isn't counting all the other costumes in every stage from R&D to done but being tweaked. *lol* This time next year, expect to have had three more TKs added to the Elite ranks. --Jonah Quote
SuperTrooper Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 STICKERS! The stickers have already been shown, this is something completely new and really exciting. More to come later..... Quote
Bigturc Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Stop teasing us, I'm waiting on you to submit my long overdue pictures to get my Elite Man, I think I was set at last Halloween!! I'm so lazy! Quote
TomaToNOR[501st] Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Oh crap... forgot that one of the requirements was no visible rivets on shoulder straps.... Anyone have a spare set? Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Posted February 20, 2008 Talk to Deckard on these boards for spares. Quote
BH5204[501st] Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I'll be wearing my TK part of the time at Wondercon this weekend. I take all the pics and submit them for approval. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I have a few things left to do with my armor and finish up the TE2 helmet after I get it. Then I am applying for elite status. Quote
Terry19D Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I just seperate my kidney/butt plate this afternoon. I have a set of VaderDave's ab buttons on order to replace the huge black FX ones, and I now have my TE2 that I plan to turn into an ANH stunt. I believe that those are all that need to be finished before submitting my Elite app. Quote
TK8280 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I have a couple more things I have to clear up before I submit my armor for elite status Quote
SuperTrooper Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I have a couple more things I have to clear up before I submit my armor for elite status Are you going to have 2 elite suits Bernard? :trooper: Quote
SuperTrooper Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 Well it's been 10 weeks with 10 new elite troopers since post #1 of this thread. Great job troopers. So how is everyone doing, and what mods do you have left to achieve elite? Quote
Smitty Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 I'm just waiting on Wyatt's Imperial under garment, my scope and counter for my blaster and a some paint for the blaster and its a done deal. For me...almost there. Plus I'm finally getting to keep a blaster for myself. Plus at the same time I have to get my Application in to the 501st. Yay, go me. Quote
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 I'm building my suit right now. It's my first and it's an FX so I doubt that this will be up to Elite Standards, but I'm building in Elite in as many places as I can. I definitely will need to get a new bucket (my wife is already giving me the look when I mentioned the MR Bucket). I'm using the AB Buttons that came with the kit, but they have been sanded and painted to the correct colors. Canvas belt needs to be made. I've got to get something to close the side gaps. Quote
Lizzeh Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 I need to attach my holster behind my belt and get an ANH style blaster, then I think I'm sorted for Elite. I'll be doing the holster once I get my rivet gun back from my friend, and I'll get the blaster sorted soon Quote
Runnriottt Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 I could apply, I have all the requirements met, but really don't want to with the FX... Cause... By the end of the summer, I am going to apply for ESB with my newly assmebled, as canon as posible... TM ARMOR!!! OH YEA! Whoot Whoot!!! ( I am not excited or anything...) Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Well.. I hope soon.. Right now all that I am missing is the correct ANH buttons - everything else should be cleared.. I have the MRCE modified lid, but I am waiting for the TE ABS... So perhaps in 2-3 weeks I may apply Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 Great to hear David! Here's to the next wave of brave fellows willing to show their quality! :pint1: Quote
Guest TK-2416 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 thanks... I could have needed a drink when I started to cut the back of the FX kit - Point of no return - but I think it came out quite well Quote
