I see what you mean. Looks like there are 8 'buttons' on the sniper plate looks like three buttons on the right and on the left should be painted white and the two on the middle should be left gray. Agree?

Agreed. Still, I'm not convinced about the TD being gray. I hope that soon someone can confirm whether if it's black or gray to clear that doubt. And for the pack, it kinda looks like Jango's pack but without the missiles and the few modifications, I'm sure someone with enough skill can build one as a guide for future troopers.

The horror! Look at the price!

Looking good!

I'll leave you with a little hint... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNIzxFBCaes&feature=related

Looks similar to a battle droid blaster.. i'm not sure.

Questions about this particular trooper: Should tears and tube stripes simulate hand painting or not? Shoulder bell strap across the bicep? Which colors should be used for the ab plate buttons? And which type (ANH/ESB or ROTJ inverted or TFU inverted ROTJ +1 button)? Should belt be 2.25" and 2.5" wide or ANH 3"? Should it be color off-white? Thermal Detonator looks BLACK instead of usual GREY. Is this correct?

It's okay

If anyone feels like anything should be changed, or added please tell me so I can add or remove it.

Sweet. Any close up shots to the handguards? I'm confused whether if they are ANH or ESB/ROTJ

I hope it's no problem. I've got AM armor, bought a ATA back plate, I'm expecting an RT-Mod Chest plate and an ATA helmet (and i've already got a VT helmet). Talk about Frankenstein!

and if anyone noticed, the helmet does not has any decals in front of the dome

It also looks like there is no gray detail on the ears. Meaning full white ears

Yes, I'm thinking the exact same thing. Also the tube stripes appear to be grey as well, same goes for the cheek decals, which appear to not have any vertical lines.

Actually, to me it looks like it doesn't has any buttons (like a TD )

yup, it's a facebook album and looks like it's set to private and we can't see it

What did you mean by large tab removal? Shoulder straps look fine to me...

If that's so, where can the trim from the right be found and bought? I'm making a ESB helmet soon and I want it to be as accurate as possible

The left one is for ATA and right one is for CAP-W

Yes. Everything else looks good!

I forgot to share my gamertag.. The Blue Pony

Sounds interesting. I've been playing reach since its release. But took a break, played some good ol' BFBC2... took a break from it too and now I'm finishing up L.A Noire (which is a pretty amazing game, I fully recommend it).

Maybe you're using the wrong straps for the butt/kidney. I'm also using velcro and it holds just fine. And yes, a picture will make our lives easier

Loving how it looks so far. The detail on doopydoos' kits never cease to amaze me!
