Width of belt and size of pipe depends on how long the clips should be on the belt side, on the pipe side you want to make sure the holes are close to the control panel and the TD rotated enough to see the O detail from the back,. You don't want to see clips under the belt.

I managed to convert some of the 3D image files to 3D STL format, unfortunately you loose details as the rendered areas are merged with the model, grips, stock and so on, plus anything round area becomes segmented. Some models have just too many inconsistencies but I did run across the one below. I'm not smart enough to modify the file but if anyone comes across this thread and does have more brain cells than I by all means give it a go, there are so many references available online.

Your shins are sitting really high on your boots, if you could get these to sit lower you could drop your thighs a little so they miss your posterior plate. Other than that you could trim some material off the top rear of the thighs so it allows some gap. AM for comparison #1072, looks like the posterior has been pulled under. Also note how low the shins sit on his boots

Congratulations and welcome to the Centurion ranks trooper

Nice work, looking forward to seeing these

It can be quite daunting, there is a lot of information on these forums and a lot to read. Never feel bad for asking a question, we've all been there before Imgur offers plenty of space for photos so you should be fine. It's only the forum which only allows a certain amount of attachments, image links you can add as many as you like

I think you will find that Stormtroopers would be one of the most covered costumes in the legion with so many references, tutorials and forum members ready to lend a hand. Good luck with the research, looking forward to seeing a build thread from you soon

Great to see the reference material in the background. Looking forward to seeing the progress

"Paint me like one of your french girls" Congratulations trooper and welcome to Expert Infantry and the EI honor gallery

Nobody makes them here, you could try the FOTK build group on Facebook

I've not seen anyone making aluminium parts, you could try the FOTK build group on Facebook

Posted in your other thread, painted silver from references

If you look at the references there are no chrome parts, just painted silver

Some specs on E6000: What temperature range does E6000 withstand? E6000 can be applied in temperatures ranging from 50 °F to 90 °F (10 °C to 32 °C). When cured, E6000 can withstand temperatures between -40 °F and 180 °F (-40 °C and 82 °C). https://eclecticproducts.com/product/e6000-industrial-adhesive/#:~:text=How long does E6000 take,between 24 and 72 hours.

You don't need to download a program or software for Imgur, you can upload directly to their server once you register. You can adjust sizing with somethings as simple as Windows Paint, if on mobile there are lots of free apps that can do the same. IMGUR is just the host for your images, you shouldn't even need to reduce the size of your images, I've never had an issue. There are other image hosts out there too, https://www.flickr.com/ is just one

Nice clean build trooper, you may want to add a link to your EIB approval to your post Mandatory Information [Expert Infantry Request Thread URL]

Hello and welcome to the forum, a great thread which should help you one your way. Good luck with the research

Hello and welcome aboard, good luck with the research and looking forward to seeing your progress

Looking forward to seeing the progress. One thing you have to be aware of is print lines, cannot contain visible print lines and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. You may need to go over the helmet again as there are quite a few lines showing For the cracks it may be a case of having them for higher level approval and only painted for base approval but that's entirely up to our DL and the LMO team. Good luck with the build

This subject has come up a few times with the RO / New Era armor and the belts, there is a standard belt and there are belts which have been trimmed to allow a little more movement (or because they have been broken). All of the angle cuts appear to be on the same angle although cut in different places. Standard, straight across bottom of belt Trimmed / Angle cut Even with the trimmed angle cut there are variants, trimmed in line of the corner of the second belt box, trimmed under the corner of second belt box, trimmed to meet the corner of the last belt box and trimmed on the inside of the second belt box Trimmed in line of the corner of the second belt box Under corner of second belt box Angle cut before the last belt box Trimmed on the inside of the second belt box So should some level of belt trimming be allowable in the CRL and for higher level acceptance?

I doubt what is already there would change hence why some have asked for another level for full accuracy. Level 3 - Screen Accurate is kind of what we have now BUT the issue is there are different details on different troopers but for all the levels a generalized look is used. MEPD pick a trooper and replicate it which we don't do, again hence a L4 accuracy level. Some info on these levels and why they are what they are Albeit some things are changing, with the recent proposal to build a variant FOTK blaster. As I've said who knows what the next command team's vision is for the detachment and what may or may not change, it all comes down to the membership to propose, discuss and vote for changes or additions

Just found my copy so you don't need to download the full 3D files, Google Drive link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yAEpvY5dUOMV32PGvJn3LcdxTLPpfoa4?usp=sharing
