Hi Everyone, I'm Chrispy, and I'm excited to start building my armor. I'm on the waitlist for a kit from ATA ESB kit and I'm planning on chronicling my build and approval process as I go. I'm a long-time maker, new twitch streamer, fledgling R2 Builder, and lifelong Star Wars fan looking forward to bringing the same joy, excitement, and wonder that the franchise has brought me to my slice of the world.

Also, for getting a gap-less join where the ridges are, Here’s what worked for me: Let’s say your cut line is the green one. Rather than following that straight from the bottom, I’d cut slightly further out where the red line is and then angle back after the ridge and follow green the rest of the way: So once that’s cut, the part where the ridge is will be sticking out. You can now slowly file this back - use the biggest file you have, not sandpaper, and focus on keeping the file on the same angle as the rest of the cut line. This is what allowed me to get my bottom ridges looking like this on both thighs: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Left Forearm cover strip trimmed and applied. Clamped with Magnets.

Some armor have a slight angle on the top of the ab, but they should both meet level at the top No fixed length of the shoulder elastic. It really depends how the chest/backplate sit on your body. You will find with all the armor strapped together it will conform to your body and it should be easy to work out the length of the shoulder strapping. Most use doubled over elastic for the straps, single elastic isn't quite strong enough. When you mount your plastic shoulder straps to the chest ideally it should lay the large tab and 4 to 5 smaller tabs.

The trick is once you have found your profile then click on "MORE" then it will take you to the costume list then you can copy the whole link

I know that this can be frustrating. We have all been there. As we explained to you on our Ohio Garrison academy Facebook page, having a member come to you to help you is not an option with the pandemic. I've scanned over your build thread, and you have been getting fantastic help here. When you have posted to our academy page, our garrison members have also provided you with pointers. So, don't give up. As has been explained above, you need to align the top edges, and then trim off the excess on the bottom, following the general curved shape needed for the bottom.

going to test fit again with the undershirt and gloves on then figure out where to cut. I’m going to try and complete the left forearm before working on the right in case I mess up somewhere.
