Hello there fellow empire citizens and supports, the name is Luke and no I am not the Luke you are searching for. Im from Riverside California and have been interested in joining the 501st for awhile now as well it has been a family members dream as well to join and support. As a rookie to these sort of things you will probably see me around asking questions and such on how to get my armor correctly made and my updates on how my journey is going. Looking forward to working hard on my armor and meeting/talking to all you lovely people out there.

I haven’t got a response.

Thank you for your help Ron! I really could use those items. I really appreciate you reaching out to me!

You could attach snaps, glue plates to armor and run elastic between or velcro or a combination

I think you will be ok with those, you just have to remember that you trim anything touching to allow the non touching areas to come in more. Can be quite tedious as you have to attack this a little at a time. Also adding the "step" will allow the ears to sit better on the top of the ear. ATA's ears are quite thick around the round top section and can be trimmed quite a lot. This is one of the best ATA builds I've seen on the helmet, you can see the thickness of the top sections are a lot narrower than yours You want to follow the helmet, if you run a pencil around you will get an approximate line. You may be able to see that you have more meat on the top of the ear and this needs to come down more. Your trim line around the inner corner of the cheek is not quite in the right spot. Crude but should give you the idea. Just remember what ever is touching needs trimming slightly to all gaps to be filled Compare to one of my ears (albeit I've built a few helmets in my time)

The right one is looking OK. Still a little bit of work to do on the back part. https://imgur.com/PBTUOCy It seems to be the left side that I'm having the difficult time with. I feel like I cut the angle to go up into the curve too soon. Possibly with some trimming in the curved part I could possibly recover it but I feel like if I had another one I wouldn't be spending so much time on this one just to find out in the end that it won't work. Let me know what you think.

Thank you!! Haha the Empire has sent us out a lot on different missions! Living in the capital city really helps with that! Yeah right? We all wanted some!

Congrats on 50!! When did you start full time trooping to be racking them up this fast? ;-) How can that officer be disciplining you when it would appear he is holding a... coffee? That's just not right either. :-) Bart

The fourth is no longer with us... today is revenge of the sixth! Thank you for the kind word Glen. I forgot to mention how much I used the gallery The Celebration 2022 gallery was especially useful - I gleaned a lot of detailed information about the construction of the armour from that single gallery. it heped me to figure out that I needed to make my own shoulder straps, for instance, with exactly 13 large and slightly rounded segments. Also the pictures of the extras resting at Canary Wharf station from Rogue One helped me to see how the armour fitted on actual people (as opposed to the manikin used in the Celebration pictures). Using this I was able to scale the shin and leg pieces properly for my body. Some of the screenshots were useful for getting a good unobstructed view of the side or the back of the stormtroopers: the Alain Rivard armour is missing the raised area on the buttplate, and these photos helped me to size it properly. Talking of which: one thing I haven't quite figured out yet is how to attach the codpiece and the buttplate. Does anyone have any advice for doing this step on Rogue One armour?

glenn, thanks! I'm getting ready to head out right now but I will take some photos for you to look at. Thanks for the other tips as well. Brought a hook up with some folks locally as you suggested. Very sad to hear about ATA/Terrell. Also, I'm not familiar with WTB...is that a site within the forums? Thanks again.
