Hi all, I worked with one of my other local garrison members to get my second/ third TK costume. Just got my F/O TFA and TLJ approved a little while back. Already have two troops in for the year with it!

Fixed! Thank you

Hello @AndreasSjodin Andreas, Thank you for getting all of those extra photos uploaded. We have looked over your costume and there are a few fixes that we are going to request before we can give you the EIB ranking. Lets start at the top and work our way down. Shoulder Straps Your right shoulder strap is slightly raised off the back armour. We would like to see it sitting flat on the armour as your left side is. This should be a fairly easy fix with a hot water bath and carefully bending the strap downwards. References Gloves There is some lettering present on your gloves still, it looks like you were able to remove the portion next to the handgaurd but have not removed the portion farther up the glove. Please remove all logos from the glove so that nothing will be seen if the forearm armour moves up slightly. CRL L1: Black in color, made of either rubber, nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed. References Posterior Armour Your posterior armour is sitting a little far back compared to your kidney armour plate. This is a fairly common issue and can be corrected with clips on the inner side of the armour to hold the posterior armour plate in. References Belt Your belt has some loose threads on it. Please take a few minutes and trim these off to give the belt an overall cleaner look. References Thermal Detonator The control panel on the thermal detonator should face backwards. Yours is facing up slightly. CRL L1: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. This can be fixed by simply "unrolling the lower portion of the thermal detonator bracket slightly to roll the TD downward a bit. References Lower Leg Armour A bit of trimming on your sniper knee plate will give it a much more screen accurate look. This should be a fairly simple fix and should only take a few minutes. References We would like to see the lower edge of the back part of the lower leg armour evened out so that the lower edge is even across both sides of the armour. This should be a simple trim and sand job and hopefully will only take a few minutes. References Blaster We are going to need you to take a few minutes and a bit of black paint and paint out the silver hardware on the blaster. In addition, although the wires and resistors on the power cylinders look great unpainted, they should also be black for screen accuracy. References

Having a little bit of flex in the armor is a good thing, especially if moving about quite a lot and not just standing looking menacing Anything you would add behind the armor you would need to rough up the whole surface so it has something to grip too. Be careful with fiberglass resin, it can heat while drying. RS props is very thin armor and apart from a few little cracks around the chest they do last a long time, I know a member who is pretty hard on his kit. Check out Han's chest for flex

That's interesting, thank you! I've handled other trooper's kits before and compared to my pull they seem so much more sturdy. I wonder if there is something I am not seeing in other people's processes? I definitely don't want to overcorrect and make it so thick it doesn't flex, I totally agree with you there.
