Paint your white pieces on the sides black or cover in black tape. Shouldn't see white there.

Looking good overall, a few recommendations: You have something black showing on your belt, remove these pieces or cover up. Paint your white pieces on the sides black or cover in black tape. You could shorten your drop box straps so they sit closer to the belt, also try to align belt boxes with the ends of the plastic belt Shoulder straps are sticking up, you may need some heat, not sure if you have elastic there it can help Watch your alignment of the thighs and shins. Having elastic/snaps or velcro behind the shin with hold central to the boots Shin stabilization by Cricket and themaninthesuitcase Thighs may be hitting when you walk, you may need to trim them down a little at the tops, a couple of build threads from those a little shorter, you may pick up some tips. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38416-crickets-rs-stunt-build-for-the-vertically-challenged/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38842-fragarocks-rs-stunt-build-not-to-scale/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/ You could move your forearms down just a touch, will give you some room at the elbows. Detonator is sitting too high also rotate so the O detail can be seen Looks like you may have white around the soles of your boots, should be black There are a few things with the helmet, it's entirely up to your GML as they will be looking after your base approval, a few things which would bother me Stunt helmets brow trim is usually higher Vocoder a little short on the sides Should be no paint on gums (higher level approval) Just a few tweaks and you should be fine, good luck with approval

My first Stormtrooper build, 3D printed.
gmrhodes13 replied to Lovespicyfood's topic in Rogue One Build Threads
Hello and welcome looking forward to seeing your progress. Jason has a nice build thread, you can also find a lot of more accurate files for some parts in our 3D files area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/202-3d-file-depository/ One of the big things is print lines, you need to remove these for 501st approval. Many use Nico's helmet files https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/784808040/rogue-one-stormtroopersolo-mimban Greg has been doing A LOT of accuracy updates to the files, you can request a copy with proof of purchase of Nico's files. Updated files TKModder421 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/53406-modifying-the-nico-helmet/ Good luck with the build -
Blast-a-Porg Blaster-A-Trooper is something we are prohibited to do in Australia due to our Public Liability Insurance, "no firing of projectiles". While having a look around Aliexpress I found some electronic targets, works with a lazer/pointer, this sparked my interest. So parts ordered, artwork designed and sent for print, clothes hanger already source from local curb-side cleanup back in March for a stand. Incidentally I found some of the lazer/pointer are actually made as ammunition so they can be loaded in to live guns. Next modified a Hasbro E-11 to shoot the laser/pointer as well as adding a hi bright red LED for the barrel, this took a little trial and error as I had to find a source of power that was the full 3 volts to trigger the laser/pointer, much of the board has a lower voltage, after some testing I found a point BUT forgot to take any photos so now I'm going to have to strip the blaster down again DOH. Something else interesting I had to use through away AA batteries as I found recharables batteries would not trigger the lazer/pointer, I guess as they are 1.2v. I added a small piece of rubber tube into the front of the barre so I could adjust the aim of the lazer/pointer, now you can look through the original scope hole and it would fire exactly on target. Stand for holding the blaster made and some artwork, younglings can help themselves. Base is from a pedestal fan, these bases are another great free find on curb-side cleanups, just remove the fan section. Pedestal fan bases also work well for lightweight bollards, with the addition of some Imperial tape "Imperial Occupied Zone" which a member donated, he purchased it about 15 years ago. The tape is held by pieces of velcro on the tops of the stands and tape on the two ends, so it can all be reused. Anyway back to the build, target board finally arrived, the store didn't tell me they where outsourcing so it took 3 weeks. Adhesive velcro attached, electronic targets have magnets on the back and a self adhesive strip of metal so easily swapped out, charging points added to the back of the board so it doesn't need any hands on support throughout the weekend, except perhaps batteries in the blaster, but then they usually last for ever. With the electronic targets you also receive 4 magnetic disks, each inner slightly smaller than the other so it reduces the target area, makes the next electronic target a little harder to hit. Stand for blaster, excuse the dust Ready for Supanova convention at the end of this month, we'll see how it goes. In action

Which shoulder straps to use for a Stunt TK?
gmrhodes13 replied to Daenerys's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
If they have the large rear tab you can either cut it off or cut in half. NOTE: As seen in the photos below, there are no large tabs on the rear of the shoulder bridges. This is not specifically mentioned in the CRL, but removing them is highly recommended if possible. Screen references show 1 large and 4 to 5 small tabs glued on the front of the chest. -
They do finally deliver, time between their runs of armor / helmets and soft parts can be considerable, I think it was a couple of years until they stocked officer jackets again. Doesn't hurt to reach out to them, they may be able to give you a better idea on time before they are restocked. You may be able to match the color of a helmet to the armor, some have gone to paint suppliers for matching. I was lucky that the automotive white paint I purchased was a base color and matched my helmet perfectly.

Cardboard bicep was a great idea and not expensive if you trim too much It doesn't look like you need a huge amount removed going on your full kit-up photo -
