  1. Hard-core build. Awesome progress and pictures!
  2. Commencing flight to support the ground operations!

  3. also, here's a video tutorial TK1636. It's ANH building, but some of the "how to" type stuff is transferrable to ROTJ building. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeDunMes3e0wQn8_ns-ma4g hope it helps.
  4. In case more folks ask about color differences between TM and CFO, I'm posting some CFO pics here. Here are some CFO pics early during my build. I would characterize the color as "off" white or even a "soft vanilla" white. (I ended up painting my armor glossy white anyways to match my sky's chestbox and jetpack.) " Here is an ROTJ CFO build thread with large pics for reference. Like mine, they capture the "off" or "soft vanilla" whiteness.
  5. Check out the ROTJ CRL. Gives very detailed information about armor building and the different levels of accuracy you might wish to take it. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rotj look at ROTJ WIP threads to visually see how others did theirs. looking at your forearm, you’ll have to cut some more, especially the return edges, until you can comfortably start bending your arms. In the EIB and Centurion request threads, look for ROTJ candidates. There should be good close-ups of the strappings and armor.
  6. Thanks Joseph for your time, evaluation, suggestions, and an opportunity to advance to L3. Thanks Q! Thank you Randy!
  7. Thanks much Andrew! It was my first exposure into the TK world. Todd M. paved the way and I stand on the shoulders of his and the detachment staff's prior CRL work. Thanks Colin! There were challenges working with different tools, materials, buildng, and connectivity methods with the chestbox and jetback, etc. I learned a great deal! thanks Randy! I'm glad it's done. I've trooped 4x, and have received nice compliments from my garrison. There are areas of improvement, which I'll try to work on next few months. As always, thank you Paul! The resources of this detachment are immeasurable!
  8. Below are pics of the thigh ammo pack showing the bottom right-hand and left-hand sides. Also, included are pics of my adjusted TD. Just let me know if additional pictures are required. Thank you.
  9. Here's the Left-side (frontal for thigh, forearm, bicep, & calf) for your evaluation. thank you.
  10. I got my one piece from https://www.stormtrooperundersuit.com/index.php They sell the Extreme Racing brand. Though it stretches well, take it slow putting it on/off.
  11. To answer your question, I’m not sure. Having dealt with Anovos in the past, be wary of their pre-orders. Expect long wait times if you decide to go with them. Their customer service doesn’t have a good track record. Look into AM 2.0 or TM. There are other vetted vendors as well.
