Before one of us get's going on your approval, we need you to take care of one item for us, Michael. As per the CRL for Level 2, Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide . I have been in contact with Justin, and he is going to help you with this as well as any items that you need to get that Centurion badge under your name! Speaking of which, I'm jumping the gun a bit but for Level 3 one fairly easy thing that will need to be done is trim down the edges of your large ab-button plate. As stated in the CRL: Plate does not overlap the edges of this area and shall show a definite straight cut edge around all sides Suggested Reference image It doesn't have to be a perfect rectangle of course, but needs to be reduced in size (in the reference image, note the gap between the edges of the plate and the edges of the raised area below it). Getting it off may be a bit tricky, but it can be done. Once you get the ab/kidney gap worked out, please post up an updated pic so we can get the ball rolling!

Did my mobility cuts and sealed the seams on the bottom of the thigh pieces with ABS paste. Just need the E6000 on the shoulder bell snaps to dry and I will be suiting up for approval photos. So exciting.

--EDIT-- October 9th 2022: Future Jason here... I always seem to do these "future Jason" post edits, but it's because I continuously shift gears in my builds. Regardless, this initially began as a 3D print build, but I decided that I didn't want to go that route. Additionally, I'm trying to get away from doing full 3D armor builds unless it's a set that specifically benefits from being 3D printed. I do intend on leaving my initial posts up here however, because I know there may be future builders who feel the 3D route is in their best interest and this may come in useful. I have decided to finish the helmet though. It's turning out pretty good and even if I do pick up an older Anovos helmet off eBay for this build, I'm seeing a few benefits in using the 3D bucket, specifically, knowing that I don't have to disassemble this helmet for paint. It's already disassembled. Next, though I'm getting away from full armor 3D kits, I'm not giving up the hobby. With a great set of files, you can actually 3D print extra parts, i.e. shoulder bells, that would otherwise cost a lot to order separately. Additionally, since I'm talking about great file sets, I will say that this one is insanely good. People keep asking me for the designer's name, but the maker has since pulled his stuff in order to take care of some personal items. When he makes his stuff available again, I will openly promote his gear; it's that good. Regardless, I've rambled long enough. So, if you'd like to see what's up, skip ahead a bit. Basically, I officially ordered the Denuo Novo set on Friday, October 7th with the goal of officially putting the "I still don't trust them" conversation to rest. I will update this post again when I get my BBB and start over from there. Until then, here's the original posts: Why do I do this? I promise this to all of you: I'm not a masochist. I don't enjoy filling layer lines and fighting with misprints. Additionally, I proved last time that it's not financially beneficial to go this route. As a matter of fact, following The BigJasoni's ROTK 3D Print Build Thread https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/49826-the-bigjasonis-rotk-3d-print-build-thread/ I received a ton of messages from people wanting to do the same thing and I talked all of them out of it. So why, in the middle of 7 other builds, would I start this project??? Why not? So, while I finish my New Generation/ Remnant TK, Deathtrooper, Shoretrooper, Pre-Beskar and Beskar Mando, Darth Nihilis, and Tusken Raider, I'll let the printer run... slowly. I'll be updating the Centurion From the Start build thread in the next couple days and when I do, I'll throw a few things up here, but this is going to be a ton of work. Thanks @Sly11 for pointing me towards an incredible maker and some unbelievable files. Here we go.

Way ahead of you for next time

It's only been a year and a half... Baby is great! she's walking, speaking (I can't say talking because it's just individual words most of the time), playing with her big brother, and her main activity is driving mommy nuts! I trooped in my TK twice now, a Christmas parade and a Lego convention. I broke my armor both times, pulled the chest away from the abdomen. It ripped out the original style connections so I think Ill fix those once I get a chance. I put some acetone back in my baby jar of scraps so that should soften back up soon I hope, so maybe this month Ill get around to fixing it. That's about it armor wise. I did get accepted for a new job so sometime in December I will leave the military and start flying for Delta Air Lines. We're super excited about that!

Great to see, just a couple of things, try to take either in shade or indoors, not half in the sun And you may need one of these

Best of luck Michael!

Very nice work there

As a 501st member you can get higher access, then another level of access once you have an approved TK

Looking good! Good luck Michael!
