Hi, Thomas, the following photos are from original Anh helmets, so you can see that detail. Cheers ---------

Had my pistol from Imperial Factory for a month and finally able to build it. If you have not seen the print quality from the other threads, you will be blown away. This looks and has a great weight (feel in the hand). Here are some of the parts

Hmmmmm... I wonder if they didn't clean that up in the mold. This one is from a commission I just finished and mine from 2017 both have that. It was believed it was there because the move along bucket was used in the scan. Sent from my 5054N using Tapatalk

Hm, that’s odd. My Anovos helmet (circa 2018) doesn’t have the slight bump in the lower margin of the right eye like yours and Thomas’. Thanks for your input!

Shame about the strengthening plates, you will find the brackets will crack the plastic just with general movement. I like to use double snaps, nice to have a spare in case one fails, it's the difference between trooping and not trooping an event

Wow. Thanks, guys.

Following. I am curious to know. I am aware the ANH helmets are notoriously incongruent, but I don’t think I had ever heard of that being accentuated by the helmet’s eyes. Like Thomas, thanks for any information, troopers.

Personally I'd remove the elastic from the brackets you have or at least have them loose, you really don't want any straight on them

Hi, Jonas Definitely you're going to need some more snaps, attached is a diagram for snaps placemment so you can calculate how many are needed. You can use it for the Han snap too, about the Belt what I did was to use this kind of snap to attach the canvas belto to the ab and another type,(look at the image) to attach the plastic belt to the canvas . But refer to the building threads and make a better decision. Rivets I have used to attach the plastic belt to the canvas : Hope this can help. you are doing a great job mate!!

I cant use my phone to post from imgur, have to use my computer (so I feel your pain). That being said, take the time and post the pics of the front/ sides/ back before you make any changes. I had the same exact issue on my bucket, made the change and it actually fit better on my head. Here are some threads to help with AM builds: My thread, at the end you can see the bucket issue AJ has a great build, highly recommend you go through it before any more building. Ask questions, but use photos from yours or others builds so we know exactly what help you need.

Hi, all: I have an imgur account: https://imgur.com/a/whJCq05 I'm trying to get individual images to embed. When I use the tool button, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: okay, I learned you need the BB code to embed, not just a copy link! https://imgur.com/HZFB9GN

Looks cool, looking forward to see the building thread and final result. enjoy !

Well in looking back at my list I didn't get nearly as much done last night as I planned to. But it took just about as long and I quit a bit early because I was running into walls and couldn't think straight. It's been a rough week, the weekend was busy and while great, stressful and tiring. I just want a break from everything. I started to hand sew in the magnets, and before I could even get the first stitch in, I knew I couldn't do it. It was just going to be a huge pain and more trouble than it was worth. I decided to glue them in, instead. Because they're going in on the inside, I think they'll hold or at least hold enough that they'll be workable. I had to put the fingers far apart to they couldn't connect with each other while they were drying: Similar with the Velcro patch on the palm- Velcro is hard to sew through by hand, it's thick and tough. I just maneuvered, shoved, folded, and twisted it into my machine and got them sewn on that way. Gloves are now done. I managed to get the Velcro glued onto the cod (which apparently I forgot to take a picture of), corresponding sewn onto the belt (again, out of it, no photo), and glued to the butt plate. I tried several times to figure out the corresponding placement on the belt, but I think I might need the ab/kidney first to get the placement right. The belt will fit differently over that than without. The cod is fairly easy because it's directly below the two horizontal boxes, and I know where those go. I might try the butt plate again tonight, but I might also just wait until the ab/kidney is back. I'm going to call the place tonight and check on the status- it's been a full week now since I picked up the last parts, so I don't feel like I'm bugging them too soon. And as of yesterday, the premiere is one week away. To to (what I set out to do and what I managed): Sew magnets into glove finger tips (inside so they don't shatter each other) Sew Velcro onto glove palms Glue elastic connection into finger tip armor - I guess I forgot about this. Oops. Airbrush blasters - I didn't forget, I just gave up for the night. It was for the best. Yoke snap plates for shoulder bell connections (so they can be ready to glue in once back/yoke is received) Make helmet fans - I forgot about these, too Velcro to top of cod for attachment to belt, most likely Velcro to top of butt plate for attachment- CRL says to kidney (well ab, but it's the kidney back part of the kidney/ab, so technically kidney), but I'm thinking placement might be belt. I'll hold it up and see, either way. it's getting Velcro Corresponding Velcro to belt for cod Glue magnets into lens in prep for corresponding magnets into helmet Possibly corresponding Velcro to belt for butt, or maybe it will go on the kidney and we'll hold off 'cause I don't have that part back yet - Decided it does go onto the belt, but the exact placement so it sits right is currently unknown. I did cut the corresponding Velcro, so it's ready to go when I get it all back. - Going to do this when I get the parts When I get the rest of the parts: Cut and glue in elastic connection into final boot spat - I could probably figure it out pretty easily now, but it will take about 10 seconds, so it's not a real worry. Glue in helmet liner - Shouldn't take too long, I've been playing with the placement on my other prop one to get an idea of where I want it. Install fans (I will tape them in if needed, that's my current "temp" fix on one of my TK ones) - either glue in Velcro or tape it, either way won't take long. Install lens - Add corresponding magnets to helmet Corresponding Velcro to yoke for chest connection (already glued into chest) - It's cut, just needs to be glued on.

Nice start, Alan! If I could make a few suggestions at this point, they would be: 1. The ear is sitting pretty far forward and should be moved back, and the bottom angled back just a tad. Ideally the center of the top should be centered with the back line of the rear trap above it... the screws should follow that line as well. It shouldn't be too difficult to do, especially if you have the cap and faceplate attached underneath. Nice trimming on those ears!! 2. The brow should extend a bit farther to where it ends at the rear of the trap (or very close). See above photos. Don't worry (honestly) about getting everything perfect the first time. It's a learning curve each and every one of us went through, but I would suggest posting up pics before gluing or permanently attaching anything. That way, if there are issues we can head em' off beforehand! I am following this thread, so keep up the great work!!

I started working on my Bucket Left side https://imgur.com/gallery/lYtBQel

Man that sucks, hope it arrives soon. Great looking figure there

Close! Don't have the strips longer than the armour.

Not a great reference photo. These are ESB MKII shins assembled using the overlap method and they are two outer parts together and two inner parts together.

Nice job on the rivet placement, Jonas!

I squared mine of so there was nothing sticking out from the ends, they can dig into the tops of your boots otherwise

Not exactly related to the CRL update but, with the lack of activities in town (we are in a state of de-facto curfew here), I went back to revisit the Starkiller's Saber. My original saber is a not-so-screen-accurate SaberForge Monarch (now discontinued I think). It was built in a rush in order to meet the Fans' screening of TLJ in Hong Kong 2 years ago, with Tri-cree RBG LED and a Prizm 5.1 sound card (poorly soldered by me). Some of the solder points detached as times goes by and the saber cased function since (I just carry it as a dead props for a few events). With the Garrison down time we are now in, I took the time to disassemble the thing and from ground up, rebuilt the crystal chamber with proper tri-color accent LEDs on both ends, swapped out the old sound card with a CF-X and added a new neo-pixel blade. I have to say I am fairly please with the result although there are some cosmetic changes I still want to add. Hope it will stand up to some vigorous use at events this round. Video demo:
