TK ANH Stunt by CloseTheBlastDoor
gmrhodes13 replied to CloseTheBlastDoor's topic in ANH Build Threads
Fit can be close and most trim if they need to have a little more room, average would be a fingers width I would say. It just depends how high up your thighs will need to be which will determine how much you can leave or trim. -

I have to add some foam inside the thighs to keep them central, even bringing them upward they were still loose. What will be a factor is where your cod will sit, you don't want your thighs hitting it or you posterior so final strapping/fitment once you have your body clamshell strapped and on. Also how much gap will be left between the thighs and shins, there is some adjusting to do will the full suit on. I can sit down and have done on many occasion, it's just as comfortable just to sit on a corner of a table/desk, getting the weight off your legs does help during a long troop. You do need a little bit of wiggle jiggle to get in the sitting positions, just make sure no circulation get's cut off in certain areas -

You could reach out to your local garrison and enquire if anyone is offer 3d printing. Files for the E-11 are here https://www.thingiverse.com/tk14082/designs Length would need shortening -

Really depends on your size, I have skinny legs so left quite a lot of return edge to take up some of that gap, just looks better. Screen references @ 5mm return edge, but you can trim it all off if it's too tight and that will be approved all the way to L3 From Joseph's return edge thread Thigh tops The tops of the thighs are where we see a lot of questions. I recommend removing all the return edges from the entire upper parts, and here is why: As mentioned above, you will be doing a lot of walking. If you have the edges (or at least a large portion of them) intact, the friction and inside facing angles can really chafe the heck out of you, especially on the inside of the groin area. (Ouch). If there are sharp edges/points on the tops (below) these will poke into you. When trimming these, just follow the existing line. Also, if you do your final fitting, glue everything together and find this out afterward, you will have to take the entire thing apart, remove the return edges, trim down the sides and then re-build/glue them back together. The reason is that afterward the opening will be entirely too large and you will have a giant gap all the way around. Not a good look. Easier to do it beforehand, trust me. As seen below, there were no return edges (or at least minimal ones) used in the films. -
E-11 PVC Pipe Build Templates (Imperial and Metric)
gmrhodes13 replied to usaeatt2's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
Should be some in this thread Since we have seen more 3D printing it's very rare anyone scratch builds their E-11's, but "snaps" for you, looking forward to seeing your build -
Getting Level Two Or Three Certification
gmrhodes13 replied to Fruit's topic in Forum Help & Support
Have a read here, and note you have to be approved at L2 before you can apply for L3 From our monthly newsletter: So what exactly are and levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval. It gives you the chance to show a level of dedication and pride that takes your armor closer to being as "screen accurate" as possible, without as much extra work as you may realize! You can find more information on the programs here. For those unaware it is possible to achieve extra awards at Expert Infantry for each additional version costume you have approved, additional awards are not issued with another Expert Infantry number (you are only issued 1 Expert Infantry number) but you will see a star above the award on your profile and the thread title will show [APPROVED] 2nd, [APPROVED] 3rd, [APPROVED] 4th and so on. Multiple EIB award recipients and info here What do you gain for those levels? the warm fuzzy feeling of self accomplishment, a spiffy certificate to frame and display and banners on your FISD profile. As well as access to EIB and Centurion merchandise when they become available.- 1 reply

I've seen a few add an extra inner strip with more velcro but I haven't needed it so far. Inner strip reference -
No issues with Anovos no longer around, just an issue if you need replacement parts, can it be approved depends on how it was built, Anovos kits have been approved up to Centurion with a couple of modifications, helmet mesh, correct belt/holster combination and a few other tweaks. This is a great build thread You can check the kit against our CRL costume reference library https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt and make sure it meets current base requirements
