Purchased an ANH stunt kit from Imperial Surplus in December. Slowly but surely it's coming around. Hope to have it done and approved before Mando and Grogu is released so I can possibly do a troop in it. Also have Corpus Christi comic con in June I'd like to do, plus Star Wars nights at CC Hooks game.

Thank you as always for your detailed responses.

Depending on which armor make, screen use had 1 large tab and 41/2 to 5 small tabs. Some makes won't allow this as the chest ridge can be higher. You can also trim off the large rear tab if they cover correctly and have enough length. As seen in the photos below, there are no large tabs on the rear of the shoulder bridges. This is not specifically mentioned in the CRL, but removing them is highly recommended if possible. It is advisable to glue the front of the straps when you have the rear backplate in situ so they sit correctly, I use a small tall box between the chest and back so all is in alignment. Clamps, magnets and tape can be handy to have around

One more thing, years ago when Denix asked on FB is they should make the Sterling, I sent them a comprehensive email message explaining why the Sterling is important to both the militaria collectors as well as Star Wars collectors, and I also showed them the differences between L2A3 (ANH/ESB E-11 base) and Canadian C1 (ROTJ E-11 base), and they said they might make both (double the gun, double the fun).
