That's your legion forum profile, not the membership profile, have a read of the first post in this thread for instructions

You can trim this piece straight down, grey line. Red is where you add the step ATA is like that, different sides/gaps, here's mine L3 approved, note the material between ear and brow trim

Awesome job Ron!

Best I could get the extra paint off. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello @Salome (Maria), and welcome to FISD. Personally, I would not buy my armor on sites like Etsy, Ebay etc..., not everything sold there is valid for the 501st, and we don't want you to spend your money on something it's not valid... Take a look at the list sent to you by Nairy, and if you have any questions, ask...there is always someone willing to help in this great family that is FISD.

Took the Dremel with the sanding drum to it this time. I can’t take anymore off without messing with the integrity of the plastic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

MUCH BETTER!! I was able to realign without changing the brow. You can see my mark made prior to the realignment. THIS, I can work with. There's a bit of a gap at the tube bend but I feel like if I take a bit more off the top of the round part it will lower the overall level. Of course, your tips are invited!

I think I found the problem. As I mentioned earlier, the left tube is 7mm lower than on the right - see below. I'm going to drill out the rivets and then realign and re-rivet. I've got tracings and two marks to show the reposition as well as a mark 7mm below the left-side rim. its going to be a bit tricky in moving it so as to be sure to maintain equal brow alignment.

Hey Glen, hold off on comments on my questions above. I just measured and found the tube on the left side is 7mm lower, or away from the top than it is on the right side. I'm going to drill out the rivets and do what I can to put it all back together so that it looks acceptable.

I haven’t done anything with the helmet yet. I’ll try that this evening. As far as the wrists go, I didn’t realize that it really ALL has to go away. I will also do that today. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In this position, I get the best fit along the tube, but is that too much edging showing? The next photo will be with the ear covering up the entire seam but with a substantial space between it and the tube. See below - even when I press down on the ear as I'm doing here, that's the best I can do with completely covering up the seam. Also, the back of the In this position, the back is a little better, maybe even workable but in person vs the photo, the gap seems worse...in person. Let me know your thoughts. The right ear came along really well, this one I really screwed up. Also, on a previous post you mentioned posting on WTB to see if anyone had extras...I'm not familiar with that abbreviation. Can you provide me a link? Sorry to keep hitting you up like this, I really appreciate your help.

Almost there trooper. just need to remove a little bit more paint from the teeth and the material from the wrist .

Welcome! Riverside, CA? I would also reach out to Southern California Garrison if you have not already if so.

not a lot of progress as the wife has not been feeling the best and when she was we got her suited up in her Mara Jade and trooped. But I put epoxy on the helmet I printed and I'm going to work on it until the resin commission gets here. If it works for her, great, I'll keep the resin one for my kit (when ever Walt finishes it), if not we'll swap.

Thanks, Glen. I can use all the tips I can get. My thought on the step was that I was going to wait until I felt comfortable that I knew pretty much the precise area that the year was gonna go to cut that in. Thoughts?
