  1. I use the Pyle and it is ridiculously loud. I can hear it in a crowded convention with my helmet and 4 fans going when cranked up lol.
  2. For help linking images uploaded to Imgur to here, refer to this thread:
  3. Looks good to me. But you'll need a shoulder pouch per CRL rules. I don't agree with it but it's required for level 1 basic 501st approval.
  4. It'll come together once you have the rivets in, ears, and screws in place.
  5. If you're using the TKTalkie, you can adjust the mic sensitivity. I also have to have it right against my mouth but I've intended it to be that way. When my wife comes up to me at troops and asks how I'm doing, I can sorta speak to the side of my mouth, without talking through the mic. I have my mic secured in my bucket with the tough velcro. I bend the arm and set it right below the two front teeth. I am able to grab it with my teeth if I need to adjust it at all.
  6. Can't beat those indoor Summertime troops w/ AC. Glad things worked out for you!
  7. From the times I've seen it, airbrushing makes it look unnatural. Apply some watered down burnt umber with a sponge. Let it begin to dry and then blot most of it off with a paper towel. You can achieve layers with this method.
  8. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your PO Deployment thread
  9. We'll wait until the Deployment Officer gives his advice.
  10. These are from trooperbay. I'm sure the UKG can recommend a place to get them there so you're not waiting forever for shipping.
  11. I haven't had a 28" waist since I was 12 or 13! Enjoy the kit and get to assembling it!
  12. I was worried that you picked up an old FX kit or one of the other obsolete and horribly inaccurate armor kits from 10+ years ago but delighted to see it's an ATA so you should be fine. Their kit runs a bit slim though.
  13. Eh, you're a Centurion so this is a piece of cake. Looking great. Now get to the fun part and weather it!
  14. You're going to have to do touch ups regardless. Spots that rub like the ammo pouches touching the thighs, cod rubbing the thighs, etc.
  15. Yeah, your thigh armor is really long on you. I would highly suggest trimming it down some. I'm surprised your GML did not recommend this during your basic approval process. I would not be able to walk around at all with my thighs like that.
  16. You're also going to need to modify those seed trays. The bottom one (battleship grey) needs to have 5 strips. The top (black colored) has 3 strips.
  17. I think I'm going to have to print that shires siphon. What did you use to smooth it out?
  18. Field Marshal has been doing mostly Han Solo's blaster lately. At least that's what comes up on my FB feed.
  19. Your thigh ammo plate is mounted too high on the thigh. It should be mounted on the ridge like so:
