Thank you Jonatan

One thing I noticed is you don't appear to have a D-ring and it is required for L2, you may want to add one before the DO's review your application OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): D-ring mounted on the rear.

The New Gen armor from Rogue One on is still very uncommon in the Legion, with only about 25 of us approved, only 2-3 makers of kits, and far fewer resources than the Original Trilogy stormtroopers (with 4,000+ approved)... I have not seen anyone consistently offering commissions on them at any level of quality. Most of us that have completed approvable builds are because they have been passion projects and taken months or years. I don't want to dissuade you, but you should be very cautious before handing anyone money. There are also no Canadian manufacturers of the armor, so it will need to be imported from somewhere unless you print it. That said, there's no better time than now to learn a new skill and start your build, and while it could use some updates and I would have done a few things differently after gaining the experience I have, I did post my build thread here in the hope it would be beneficial to others. Know what you're in for, do copious research, and ask lots of questions! If I did it all over again right now, I would basically do what @MikeRadness did and collaborated with him closely during his build. He didn't post a build thread but his L2/L3 approval threads have some great info and pictures. Also, Mimban troopers use the same base New Gen stormtrooper armor, but specifically fall under the MEPD detachment, so there may be more info over there as well when you're ready to get dirty. Good luck!

Nothing you haven't see others tackle as one of the first few steps. Started with all of the cutouts on the helmet this weekend. Used a Dremel with a drill bit to make initial holes and then went to work with my file set. As others have noted, I'm glad I added an extra layer of resin to the interior of the helmet - it was definitely noticeable how thin some part of the helmet are as I started filing. That's it for now, thanks. (and thanks for the tip on posting photos @gmrhodes13!)

Bummer, I couldn't imagine doing that to my customers. I've been in business going on 8 years now. I know my systems aren't like TRamp, but... UkswrathsSpeciality - Etsy Custom Cosplay - Ukswrath's Speciality

[Moderator action] Moved thread to "Request Expert Infantry Status" where it should goes under. Good luck with your application!

I think I'll start selling these as on option for my customers. I'm sick and tired of these batteries failing so fast. Thanks again for posting this Andrew. I know it's almost 10 years old, but it's a winner.
