Templar726[TK] Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Based on suggestions from my EIB build I removed a shim line and corrected the thermal by destroying it! Edited March 24, 2016 by Templar726 Quote

Templar726[TK] Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 Thank you sir! Very nice coming from a Centurion! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Wow, thank you for your application Charles. Tony and i will be with you shortly. 1 Quote
starsaber25[Admin] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 That's awesome Charles! I can't offer any feedback because I have not really studied the death trooper but it looks great to me! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Hey Charles, any chance we can get a clear close up shot of your right hand side (Back to Ab plate join). It is a little unclear weather you have shimmed and not filled the second seam with ABS paste or it is just the distressing and weathering that makes it look like two seams. Words as per Centurion Death Trooper CRL There is no open gap between the ab and kidney armor, just a single visible seam line. Thanks in advance. Quote
Templar726[TK] Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 Sure thing sir! Let me look and see if I already have one, if not I will of course take a shot. Thanks for looking!! Quote

The armor was shimmed from behind so it needs to be filled in with ABS and then one seam completely smoothed over with ABS paste to give the illusion of one seam line. Check the attached photo below. I will knock that out and re-paint the section and get a picture back to you. Edited March 26, 2016 by Templar726 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Thank you Charles, I love your armor by the way, one day I hope to build a Death trooper and can only hope it turns out any where near as good as yours is. Great work! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Templar726[TK] Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Posted March 26, 2016 OK I put in a few hours and got the side shim spacer corrected. I am happy with the way it turned out and it is nice to know it is correctly assembled now. I had overlooked that shim since I was so busy concentrating on making it look nasty!! Here is the fix procedure and final result: Quote

Templar726[TK] Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks guys. Always fun to work on armor. And always fun to Death Troop!! Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 Holy cow, Charles... This is the stuff nightmares are made of, my friend! AWESOME build and fix on that seam..... I can see that Centurion badge under your name already! 1 Quote
Templar726[TK] Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 Is there a Heavy Weapons Death Trooper out there.......may have just thought of a new build! 1 Quote
IceStormTK[TK] Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Blown away. That is an incredible attention to detail. Great work! Quote
Templar726[TK] Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I got some really good feedback from the FISD staff regarding my build. I will be making the upgrades and posting the pictures as I complete them. I must say I really like the input from the FISD staff. Their goal is to get the armor to the standards required and their attention to detail is amazing. Thanks and here are the first few photos. More to come!! Edited March 31, 2016 by Templar726 Quote
