gap in armor filled and painted

Getting great help with adjusting, trimming the ab and kidney plates. What’s your opinion? LEFT SIDE: RIGHT SIDE:

It is amazing how much you can achieve once you get in the groove

Been a long few days but feeling accomplished. Have to do the kidney and butt plate still, but making progress !

? I’m struggling with the shoulders. To get them closer and minimizing the gap between them and the chest piece. ALL top padding is out The helmet is directly on my head. Just have some padding on the sides to help it move with my head. So it won’t go lower than this sadly… need to shop my giraffe neck off a bit ? (the angle of the photo may make it look even worse. I’ll get some help this weekend to take some better ones. Maybe with legs too then)

A quick dress up. I know I have a long way to go and it was super hard taking a photo of yourself on timer and in suit ? But still feel it’s on the right direction!

My question is are the inside of the forearms supposed to look different or trimmed to the same “u” shape. I have them trimmed to where the flash was. Normally the right and left sides are a different shape/size, same as screen suits Also, the bottom cod piece of very bland and no hard lines to see where to exactly shape it too, I have a rough pencil marking for now but curious any tips or tricks. Trim line looks fine Bicep with the thumb print goes on the left arm NOTES ON BICEPS: In the original films, many of the biceps had an indentation, or "thumbprint" (normally worn only on the left) on the inside. As the biceps are interchangeable, this is not a requirement for any level. You can take off all the return edge on the shoulder bells if you wish too Swoop on the shoulder bells goes to the front Note: For ANH S/H and ESB as mentioned in the CRL for basic approval, shoulder bells are interchangeable. However, note that many (but not all of) the originals contained a "swoop" (slight curvature on one side) at the bottoms, which should ideally face the front. Some armor makers have incorporated this detail into their molds, but some have not and many times troopers get them backward. This is not a requirement at any level. <--- Front References to other WTF forearm builds Found from searching that the left forearms have a slight curve to it while the right is more straight Left Wrist Left Elbow Sorry if I've missed anything.

Hello and welcome to the forum. There is quite a lot of info in the FOBG (first order battle group) https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/188-captain-phasma-tfa-and-tlj/ but also on the Facebook group which may be of help https://www.facebook.com/groups/1654472361474254 One supplier was Jim Tripon Jimmiroquai, he has a build thread on RPF, unfortunately the forum won't allow a direct link, here is the address and other links in his thread There are differences between the TFA and TLJ so make sure you read both CRL's (costume reference library) before deciding. I've not seen any full files for Phasma but again check out the Facebook group.

Not a tutorial quite but here is my final cut. It JUST barely fits my head and I've considered trimming it wider myself. See how it compares to yours
