Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys. After a month or so I got the email I was waiting for and......I am now officially TK 3286!!! And once I make a few adjustments I shall apply for EI status. Thanks again gentlemen.

Thanks for all of the responses guys, makes me proud of what I have accomplished. I have already intended on altering the back plate, I had cut it straight before assembly...or what I thought to be straight. But i hadn't considered that when it contours to the back that the shape would change. That will be fixed with some light trimming, I also intend on shortening the thighs. They are a bit long with very little gap between them and the shins, making it a bit difficult to walk. The only other problem I had while trooping was the biceps, they are a bit loose and the elastic strap in the shoulders tend to pull them up too high. After I have these minor adjustments it shall a much more comfortable and accurate replica. I will keep you all posted on my TK status, thanks.

Hi Guys, I finished my first Stormtrooper kit about a month ago, and have submitted my application to the 501'st about two weeks ago. i was hoping to be approved before Comic Con but alas it was not to be. I am currently awaiting approval, but thought id share some of my application photos as well as a few pictures from the convention. This is my first complete stormtrooper costume ever assembled and I already have plans to make minor adjustments to make it more accurate as well as more comfortable to wear. So feel free to criticize, compliment, or just make a comment, all is welcome. Hopefully i will be an official TK very soon. Thanks guys.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. :]

Thanks guys. Its my first complete helmet and Im very proud of it.

Finished my first stormtrooper helmet and thought id show you all my results. I bought the helmet back in November of last year, I believe the Maker is CAP, but im not 100% sure. Decals are from Mike TK-4510, as well as the lens, and both the brow and neck trim. Hovis are from Smitty. Let me know what you guys think. I should be finishing my armor fairly soon.

Very excited about this! You provide a great service to troopers, and now you are striving for even more. Good luck in your venture sir.

Can't wait to see the progress on this build.
