You already have Stormtrooper access Sie haben bereits Zugang zu Stormtrooper

Sorry to hear this Pat you where going along well, I hope you have success with the sale

Congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper. You can request higher access here

You need to add a link to your legion membership profile, read post on first page

We know the RO had the bicep hooks straps but I'm yet to see them on a Remnant trooper, this is where we would have to presume they would be the same, but in saying that they should look a particular way. Celebration images, note the position of the biceps to shoulder bells, cover strip @ in alignment to end of the shoulder bells and take special note of the middle strap on the bicep which should connect directly to the shoulder bell so no rotation. But if we look at biceps on the Remnant troopers some are rotated compared to the shoulder bells, some are lifted off the biceps, some have turned to nearly facing forward, I doubt this could happen if they where strapped in the RO manner but again it's just presuming how they should be or how they should work. But we do know they were on other troopers in Mandalorian

Indeed you did add it at L3, I was just agreeing, in a round about only had one coffee way

For me this would really be for higher level approval as we don't normally see these stationary I can't see the need for them for your base builder. Also for the Remnant I'm only looking at Remnant troopers and their references, I know when some aren't available we have to base on past costumes as per Rogue One. Once we have the Remnant CRL locked in I'll spend some time on next gen differences, doing both at once may get confusing.

Just a couple of things you may want to address The cut corners of your cover strips are quite large, not sure if you have any material left over as you may want to change them, depending on what your GML says of course and more for higher level approval. Here are some comparisons Also note the top corner of your thigh ammo strip is usually not rounded off

You can use this wet too to help the compound flow better if needed, just use a wet rag/cloth when applying

Some armor can be hard to color match depending on which maker and what they have been supplied, some look cream compared to others that are stark white, hopefully you can find a paint to closely fit. I normally use water base acrylic paint, then you have the ability to color eye match, even then the paint can dry a little different than required. Here an example of RS armor and white U trim and different the shade of white is, this I had to color match to suit Before After

Gets bad when you jump when ever you hear a truck coming down your street, hopefully won't be too much longer, than you can open it and let the panic set in

A few threads on the subject, most go for a size up

Here's a nice reference of how flexible the material is, from Mandalorian Season 2

Some suggestions, wording may not be correct as I'm not a wordsmith, references added were possible due to lack of some remnant references. Why I added the brownish hue to the weathering is the weathering is very dark in a lot of areas but can be clearly seen that it has a wash of brown. Added a few changes to the helmet as we know this is a Anovos ANH helmet so details will be specific to that helmet - perhaps Denuo Novo will produce one if they purchased the molds/plans, entirely up to the DO and LMO's if they allow other ANH era helmets and not just Anovos Note there I've found two versions of the Anovos OT ANH helmet, I believe this one was the later 2017 onwards Prior to 2017 differences, fuller teeth paint, inside hovis all white Helmet Moderate to heavily weathered with a brownish hue Traps (trapezoids on dome of helmet) and tears (area beneath the corners of eye lenses) are gray. Rear traps and tears have vertical black lines. Lenses are flat material, green in color, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. The “ear” bars have three or four bumps and are gray or painted gray, with a black outline. Painting the bumps with rank stripes (highlighted) in black is optional.

Tube stripes are medium blue, numbering between 9 and 16 15 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail) is painted black. Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips (cylinders on either side of the vocoder) are black or painted black. Tears, traps, and tube stripes may be hand painted, decals, or decals that replicate hand painted.

Looking forward to seeing some BBB photos in the not too distant future. This thread should help you in regards to other items you may need to complete your ensemble

This is were a cutting compound may help, it's a thicker substance/grain compared to normal polish, spray painters use it to help cut back orange peel so you get an even shine, it's also great for getting rid of scuff marks and in some cases small scratches, it may be worth a try if you can find it locally.

Unfortunately different makes of armor use different shades of ABS, even under one make they can be supplied several different shades of white. This makes things difficult trying to match odd parts or replacement parts. For my TKC and TFU for touch up of the U trim I eye matched water based acrylic paint and added a small amount of brown, yellow and black to get a close match to RS armor. Once happy I clear coated to protect the paint. Before After For my FOTK I used automotive acrylic paint from a local auto supplier, it matched the Anovos helmets perfectly so I was lucky with the base white. Ideally it's easier to paint a full set of armor than it is to match up a section, even adding ABS paste you may have to touch up as it can leave small holes when it dries which means filling then painting. You could always take it to an automotive paint supplier and they may be able to get a close match, some can even put it into spray cans.

You need to add a link to your legion membership, have a look at the first post in this thread

Although I have built them with inner strips and without I do find these are more important on parts that open/close like shins, hasn't really made much different to thighs and arms

Adding only remnant references SE-14R E-22 No light but has mount E-11 has light and mount Working lights Boots heels and side elastic Belt trimmed Belt full Boot loops

Usually automotive polish is enough, on rare occasions for the large marks I use automotive cutting compound. Many use the Novus polishes, they come in different grades.

Many do use the USB chargers, just make sure you use the correct wires/pins

It's tape, you can see the rectangle shape in the image below, poor trooper has quite a bit of tape on him, I guess being used as a stunt version he would. There is tape on his shoulder straps, lower calf bottom, around the belt (worse one Iv'e seen) and on his chest.

Congratulations and welcome to the EI ranks and EI honor gallery
