Hello and welcome aboard, for sandy's head over to MEPD Here is a great thread which may be useful You can find the costume reference library here for all 501st costumes https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname Good luck with the research

That's really a question for the Flagship Eclipse as it's their costume and they will have the more up to date information from the CRL. At times text and photos don't always match so asking at the specific detachment should give you the correct information https://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-darth-revan/

Not actually a FISD meme but does hit the mark for the 3D printing community

Correct, also make sure you rough the surfaces with sandpaper before applying glue, will give the glue something to hold on too. Also note try not to get any glue on the snaps when applying them, some in the past have had reactions between the snaps and glues which causes heat, I have never encountered this though, be a good idea just to do a test one first You can also recess the snaps so they aren't raised

Either way is fine, I prefer mine trimmed and clean, does give you a touch more viewing area in the inner corners.

ATA ears are quite thick so you could do to trim them down a little more. The offset cut out is in one if the links I posted above, and it works

It can be hit and miss with color matching but it's definitely worth a try. You can have either 3 or 4 holes trimmed, most have 4 for Stunt and only 3 for Hero version. Some references A great wegsite for references http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-Stunt-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm

Congratulations once again trooper, looking forward to seeing many more trooping photos

Congratulations once again trooper

Looking forward to seeing your BBB photos when it arrives.

Be very careful using a heat gun, can take some practice, I normally have a few pieces of wood handy, flat and curved depending what I want to shape, one pieces on either side, it helps to hold and smooth areas while they cool. If you just heat you may find the plastic begins to sag as it's loosing the tension of the heat vacforming. Some use a hot water bath which is a little less heat. Here's a couple of color comparisons, and note these colors can change even with the same maker, they are affected by color change from manufacturer.

Pretty much has all the info you would need As for ABS well.color may be an issue, I have found RD a little off whiye compared to other makers, you may need to check around with ant local ABS plastic suppliers, I found a few here but they were very white.

There's never too many questions This is S trim, goes around the bottom of the helmet This is U trim, goes under the brow on the helmet

I've had a look through and I've never seen these files before, they could have been added to the forum pre my signing up, from there on anyone that references templates are the Zeroroom ones, no mention of the ones in your links. Even going through the template areas I still can't find anything, could mean the original thread had broken links and was moved to archive sections. Funny when you hover over your link it shows only 115 downloads so couldn't have been used very much. There was also another site BBC which unfortunately is no longer available http://www.imperial-fleet.com/BBC/, this was started before I joined, had lots of blueprints and templates so they may have come from there. Web archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20080228020330/http://www.imperial-fleet.com/BBC/ Blueprint area: https://web.archive.org/web/20120905200812/http://www.imperial-fleet.com/BBC/community/viewforum.php?f=3 https://web.archive.org/web/20100113215907/http://www.imperial-fleet.com/BBC/community/viewforum.php?f=9 I'm pretty sure the "best templates" was completed, there is a link in the first post, I used those for my first build but that was some time ago and my memory is not as sharp as it used to be.

I have no return on the sides only on the top of the butt plate and top and bottom of the kidney, this image may show a little more detail Also note if you find once you have strapped and your kidney or but plate flares out you can add V tabs on the ends to hold them in alignment. With a heat gun you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. I do mine just like Joseph and like him prefer the double snap method, always great to have a spare snap if one lets go, nothing worse than not being able to troop because of a snap failure

Just to make sure as you have some overlapped pieces in your images, the shins need to be but joined as you have your thighs, you may be aware but just in case it doesn't hurt to mention foe those following the build Also thumb print bicep is worn on the left and swoop of side ridges on the sides of the shoulder bells points forward Front

Looking forward to seeing the progress of your build

Can't say I've seen those specific versions but my go to has been There are multiple pages as well as some zip files on a few pages
