Slouch[TK] Posted October 21 Report Posted October 21 (edited) Hi Team. Please find below my request to be approved to EIB for my ANH Stunt kit from WTF. Name: Chris TK ID: TK 70384 Forum Name: Slouch Garrison: Knightfall Garrison (Melbourne, Australia) Armor: WTF Helmet: WTF S Trim: WTF Blaster: Bounty Hunter Armory Height: 186cm Weight: 88Kg Boots: TK Boots Belt: Made Myself Rubber Hand Plates: Kris Hase (KFG Member) made Gloves: Rubber chemical Neck Seal: Darman's Props (Etsy) Holster: Made Myself Lenses: WTF Helmet Fans: Imperial Fans Electronics: N/A Dropbox Backs: WTF Decals: Dave M - Trooperbay Undersuit: Kmart/Amazon Social Media Consent : Yes https://www.501st.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=25803 Full Body: Front Back - I swear the bridges are even - I was just standing weird! LHS RHS LHS Arm raised RHS Arm raised Action Shot Armor Details: Ab plates Cod & Posterior Plate connections Interior Strapping Wrist Openings Split Rivet Side Connection Han Snap Sniper Knee Plate Thigh Ammo Belt Bifurcated rivets on thigh ammo belt Helmet Details: Front Left Right Back Hovi Tips Lenses S-Trim Accessories: Neck Seal TD Holster Attachment ABS / Canvas Belt Boots Rubber Gloves Blaster Details: Left Side Right Side D-Ring A few things to point out: I have quite broad shoulders and have done everything I can to get the shoulder bells as close as possible to my chest piece. It's also causing me grief with my shoulder bridges and I can't trim the rear tabs without it looking too short, unfortunately. I took the previous suggestion of doubling over the white elastic straps, but my physical build means I either have weird sitting bells OR slightly exposed elastic in certain poses. Tried both and the latter looks far cleaner. If I look a little wonky in the shots, it's more to do with my bad back than the strapping/alignment (my user name is Slouch ). Also a bit of pressure from my impatient photographer (wife) and didn't want to press my luck for a reshoot after scrutinizing the photos myself. If there's any other details/photos required, please let me know. Many thanks - Chris Edited Saturday at 10:12 AM by Slouch Typo & Imgur Link, New Hovi Tip pics 3 Quote

I just popped the Han Snap pic in. I moved it from the previous position, so it's more square in the corner. I hadn't seen the internal of the thigh ammo on the checklist - it just said L & R and I thought that meant external, but I'll grab a pic when I'm home - Cheers! EDIT: Bifurcated rivet pic now added.

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 Hi Chris, Sorry for the delay, they have been quite a few days of work for me. But I'm already working on your review. thank you for your patience. Meanwhile , I will need you to make a little fix to your helmet brother. CRL for basic: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. This is a few minutes painting session and you can use a toothpick with non acetone paint remover to refine the teeth shape for the vocoder. Reference Images. Thank you 1 Quote

Thank you Thanks Mario - No stress at all. It's given me a chance to update a few things. New Hovi Tips are done. Ears have been moved back and vocoder paint has been touched up. The angles of my teeth photos might not be the most flattering/accurate, as there doesn't seem to be any paint on the gums, but I can see in some of those pics (of mine) it looks to be on the top lip, but not the bottom and then the opposite in the next photo. The glare wasn't helping my cause. I'll try to sharpen it up as best I can one a few of the teeth to make it more obvious. Cheers - Chris Edited November 6 by Slouch Added pic 1 Quote
Slouch[TK] Posted November 8 Author Report Posted November 8 (edited) I've taken a bit more off the teeth. The moulding really doesn't show it well, but all the paint is off the gums Edited November 8 by Slouch imgur link 2 Quote

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted Wednesday at 03:46 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 03:46 PM Hi Chris, We're almost ready to place that EIB badge under your name Trooper. I'll need you to do a final effort to complete this stage: 1- Vocoder paint check. Checking with the team, we're not sure if this is a lighting effect, but it looks like your vocoder has a different shade of paint. It looks shiny in the upper section and flat in the lower section. Could you please check it out and let us know? Reference Images 2- CRL L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. There are some minimal but visible 3d printing lines that you will need to refine according to the CRL and the team noted a groove in the end cap that shouldn't be there , this could be solved by filling that gap , sand and paint. Reference Images Thanks you again for your effort and patience. 1 Quote

I hadn't picked up the one on the end cap - good spotting! I'll fix that now. The vocoder just recently got a fresh coat of pain, as it had a few chips/scratches from trooping. Definitely all the one correct shade of black. That's just the reflection of my coffee table making it look two-tone. Here's a pic Thanks again!

Reference Images Thanks you again for your effort and patience. Hi Mario - I've done some work on my E-11. Filled, sanded and repainted the sections showing 3D printing lines. I also followed some advice from a local garrison member and replaced the 3D printed D-ring with a link from a chain, that matches the overall dimensions perfectly (bonus point - it was already black!). I plan to do a tiny bit more weathering to disguise some imperfections, but wanted to show it in the fixed state. If there's any other pics/angles you need, please let me know. Thanks again.

JBar[TK] Posted Saturday at 02:49 PM Report Posted Saturday at 02:49 PM (edited) Looking great! Not a DO or anything here but if I may I had a question regarding the power cylinders coils. For EIB are they an optional accessory to the E11? They look great but I was just reading here that they may have only been seen in the "bapty" promotional version of the blaster Edited Saturday at 02:52 PM by JBar 1 Quote

The CRL only mentions the two power cylinders, but I'm sure I read somewhere the coils were an option, but the other greeblies from ESB & ROTJ wouldn't be accepted. Mine are removable, so happy to lose them Edited Saturday at 11:09 PM by Slouch Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM Report Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM Wiring is optional, there are quite a few old threads on the subject, here's just one Interesting thread on RPF 2 Quote
