My current stage. Just waiting on my Blaster from sheartech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As Glen mentioned, the "ideal" ear position has the top (round) part centered right below the rear of the trap, and in a perfect world it should cover the faceplate/cap seam completely. Note in the references how the bottom screw lines up with the rear angle of the trap. Sometimes the top 2 line up with that line, sometimes they are just close, which is fine and dandy. We aren't looking for perfection by any means, but it's important that the bottom should be angled back.

Alright, i will post some better shots of the front and the back Sent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk

Good luck on the build! Completed mine from trooper96 a month ago and I ABSOLUTELY love it! Be sure to go slow and support the weaker parts while sanding. Crazy glue was my best friend.

MWB (medium white box) day! Got it from trooper @trooper96 here on FISD. Thank you Bryan!

Thank you all my fellow troopers! Honored to add this Heavy to the Centurion ranks!

Thank you Spartan for your time and guidance!

Bit hard to make out the cod, some references here Anovos TLJ Anovos TFA Notice the two raised lines/angles

Nice work, also the rear of the forearms are different Differences are being discussed in the TLJ CRL update thread

The manual gives a suggested general order for paint, but I think I have a specific order of parts grouped by color somewhere. I’ll see if I can find it.

The glory of PETG! Truly, the filament of Sith Lords!

Looking truly great there Richard. Nice work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's really a personal choice, first time helmet builds are always a little tricky, I've built quite a few different helmets and the basics are pretty much the same, although some have particular quirks not seen on other helmets. But as it's an RS helmet I would say follow their builds, after all they should know what they are doing One other detail the DO's bring up from time to time is the position of the ears which RS may not see as that important, here is the ideal look And if you need some reference material you can't go past "Star Wars Helmets" http://www.starwarshelmets.com Good luck with the build

Does look wrong compared to the screen grabs, but hopefully looks more in proportion compared to the CRL pic

Looking good. I think though comparing your vented box to the button box the vented box is a little large, if you compare to the references, I think the sizing on the diagrams are a little off, something I may bring up at a later stage. Nice work on the pouches

A couple of passes with a heat gun will make those strings disappear like magic. Not too much, though. PETG is very heat resistant, but it doesn’t take much to make the strings evaporate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glued the barrel and the base together with super glue, then sanded the seam to clean up the excess glue. I'll add a bit of spot putty to the seam later.

Congrats Jacob!

Thanks!

Yep! I’ve been letting the paint layers cure around 12hrs, sanding them even with some 800grit paper, and washing/drying overnight. This last top layer I went thick/heavy, going to give it a full 24 hours and even out any drips that may have formed… then I’ll be done until it’s time to use the shiny black prior to chroming!

That's not a bad idea at all. Lol. That particular FB page is good for research, but the FISD forum and FB page are the preferred way to go. This is where the depth of knowledge is, especially since you're looking to get an approved costume. I did make two more changes to the boxes yesterday, but they're likely my last tweaks. Lol... until I find something else.

Congratulations trooper

That is a pretty poignant photo, Rich. It shows that being a trooper is not always about bringing smiles, but showing respect on more solemn occasions as well.
