This is a requirement and I think it makes the armor look complete, you have to close the gap.

Oh yeah, you have an awesome E-11 and DLT-19 there. What are they made out of?

I am no expert on EIB, but I think that armor is very sharp looking.

Da*&!! That looks sweet! What did you use for the belt and gap closing, black patent leather?

Hi guys,

Okay, Lets see the blaster is pvc with resin parts. My BFG is all home made from bass wood that I carved and pvc pipe. The belt is a leather belt on the inside and I made a slip cover that is made from material that I used on the side gaps. I'm not sure of the type of material it was just shiny and I knew it would work for what I was doing. The side gaps are plastic signs cut down and material glued on the outside and felt on the inside. I used rivets on the back and velcro on the front to hold it on. It holds in place really nice.

Here are some pictures of my BFG before paint. It still comes apart like that for storage and carrying it in a bag to troop with. I made it fit really tight so all the pieces slip together.

I still need to get my pouches but it looks cool with the TX.

The suit looks great. SpecOps had a brand new DL, maybe he'll chime in on his thoughts of an EIB/Deployed program here.

Thanks Terrell,

Just trying to raise some brows over at the FISD. I'm not sure if they want to award a Honorary EIB or not but I thought my armor might have what it would take if it was white, so why not just because it's black. We'll see what come of it. This also give me a reason to post some finished pictures I've been meaning to get to since the holidays. Time has a way of getting away.

My $.02 since I created the honorary EIB over there...

I did it as a prop to you great folks here on SpecOps until such time as you decide to have your own formal program. Since it's great to see Stealth Trooper show-off threads on FISD, why not give kudos to the costume stand-outs showing how great the costume can be? There are some great costumes here after all :)

Which piece specifically are you talking about?

Hey good eye on the piece on the side. Yes it is from a tower, I needed something to set the side cover off. I'm not going for a full on copy of a DL-19 just a close enough version for a TX to carry. I have some other stuff i want to do to it just haven't gotten around to it.


Daetrin,

Hope you weren't offended by my posts here, I was really just razing. I really appreciate the opportunity to even try for a Honorary EIB. With out the FISD I wouldn't have gotten even close to the quality of build I did. I have raved and thanked the Troops In White many times. I also look forward to joining the ranks of FISD as soon as possible.

Hopefully if nothing else maybe this can get the ball rolling over here for something similar . Because you are right, there are a lot of great armor builds over here and they should be noticed.

Check the 501st members section, Obievon. Crazas has opened up a discussion about adding an EIB type program.
