Awesome, congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper. Once you recieve your 501st approval email you can request higher forum access here

I would suggest as he is kneeling the ab/back was pushed upwards, it's also on the back not the front like yours, standing you shouldn't see any white.

That would be your shin not your thigh Appears you can go smaller, standard sizing of coverstrips below, although they can be larger if need, if you only need a little more room you are better adding bigger coverstrips to the backs as that is not as noticeable as you are mainly seen from the front. Arms front and back 15mm Thighs front and back 20mm Shins front 20mm, rear 25mm Once trimmed you could use a block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around to help get a nice straight edge.

nice work trooper

Yes that's what I use, I find the nylon forms to the curves of the armor well unlike plastic plates, E6000 does take a while to dry but if you ever have to replace them it's easy to remove. If you have a soldering iron you can make holes with it so they don't fray. Also when you cut the nylon pieces run a lighter across the ends so they don't fray

Looking forward to seeing how you progress, good luck

Yes be very careful not to use too much, can melt as you found out. I've seen some use this glue on snap plates only to find the heat transferred to the snaps and deformed the plastic they were glued to.

Looking better, you still have the issue with the belt on the sides, fabric should follow the angle of the plastic belt. Also noticed your thigh ammo strip is angled quite high. I still think your chest could come up a little, this would reduce the gap between the chest and backplate, giving you more overhang of the shoulder straps.

From what I've seen most if not all new era use 2 thigh straps and both are on the side of the thighs, both straps also have fabric covers so the pattern of the straps isn't seen. Was discussed in the Remnant thread and there should be an update made to the RO CRL text Disregard the green box, was used for another reference but shows two straps, both are have covers. You can see 2 in this shot also As for the position of the rear cover strips I did a lot of research on these, they are glued on the outer of shins and thighs and their position does not change, although the thighs can look offset depending on how far open the thighs are, depending on wearer.

Looking forward to seeing some build pics soon

Hello and welcome aboard. Step 5 - you submit photos and info to your GML and only fill out membership application for 501st https://databank.501st.com/databank/Join_Us as well as select 5 X TKID numbers, you can find a list of available TKID's here https://www.501st.com/members/search_avail_ids.php 501st Depending on what version costume would depend which CRL you follow, CRL's (costume reference library) is the base level of 501st legion acceptance of costumes, FISD CRL's can be found here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Only 3D printed costumes which have been approved so far (to my knowledge) are Rogue One and First Order. There are some Original Trilogy files here which was used for vacforming, for printing you may have to soften some edges Here is a great thread full on info, mainly for the Original Trilogy Stormtroopers https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/49412-all-in-one-tk-anh-stunt-index-of-resources-by-maskedvengeance/

Good luck with approval, hope to see some new TKID numbers soon

Your images don't appear to be of a high resolution, these are 1334 x 625 pixels. Watch the lighting, you can see the light is on your right side back so the front is darker, normally I have a few lights from the front which helps. It's entirely up to our DL the quality of photos used in the CRL's, he may offer some tips/requirements Also you may want to try to bring your chest upwards it looks a little low compared to the back plate. There is also a large section of white (ab plate) showing on the sides, reference below

Hello and welcome to the forum

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

Interesting, I can't say I've seen that used, I guess it depends on how well it dries. For small lines/scratches I use blade putty, takes a while to dry but does dry hard

Looking forward to seeing another Cardinal on the way

Definitely check out some other AM builds as to sizing differences

Great to hear, blasters from Bounty Hunter Amor are 3D printed so I'd make sure you check on it's quality, from the CRL: L2 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. Only one other post on these forums about BHA, may be worth a read, our DL commented on them

Sounds like a deeper issue, change of battery normally solves any issues, I'd advise to get in touch with Icomm, it may be something they have come across previously. Light comes on when triggered playing sound. Have you tried cycling through the different sounds?

You only have 2 posts according to your member profile and no build thread A couple of threads on trimming ears

When you compare to screen references you can see the outer lines are quite thin, if you can get the outer lines a little cleaner will look a lot better. Bottom of this side is a little wobbly
