  2. Very nice and congratulations Mario, if I could make comment I would bring your forearms up a little as they are hitting your handplates, will reduce the gap at the elbows too
  3. Just note if you are making them try to remove all of the print lines as that is required for higher level approval and help with your sales

  9. Coming along well. A lot of the armor makers don't have this full piece section but it is screen accurate, can normally you can see the extra lower ridge under the chest section, the neck area shouldn't matter as the chest will cover it.
  10. Correct, each costume is homed under a detachment, there can be several costumes under each detachment. Here are the 501st Detachments https://www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php#detachments Also the CRL (costume reference library) https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname Scout trooper CRL is here https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper
  11. Here's just one build from Pathfinders with 3D printed armor, the helmet does move up with the Scout Trooper http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/22826-first-time-rotj-scout-trooper-build-3d-printed/
  12. Hot water bath is definitely more forgiving than a heat gun, a lot of practice is needed using a heat gun, you can go from almost moving to molten mess in a blink of an eye
  13. Looking good, a few things could be tightened/adjusted. It looks in the photos like you are sticking your belly outwards (or leaning backwards) and your helmet is tilting down at the front, as it is the helmet will hit the chest and you have a big gap at the back of your neck, perhaps try some thinner foam inside the top of the helmet so it sits down a little more and try to keep it level, front to back. Strapping between chest and ab, a common issue with the bracket system, some people add extra elastic behind (with snaps or glue) so the two pieces don't come apart (notice the black gap between) Looks in most photos your left arm forearm is just overlapping your bicep, you may want to adjust the gaps as that would get annoying and could cause armor bites. Add some foam behind your sniper plate, this should hold it away from your thigh, they will hit walking how they are now. Just on the thighs there appears there is a large gap between some of your cover strips ridges, larger cover strips could reduce this gap, may get noticed, may not but I think it would be picked at higher levels (really up to your GML) Your butt plate is being pushed backwards, again perhaps stronger elastic or add some V tabs, they can be helpful Ab and kidney not aligning at the top on side photo On the other side of ab/kidney looks like there is a large gap between, would get picked at higher level approval but ok for basic (in most garrisons) Although they can't be seen very well in most of the photos it looks like your shoulder straps aren't quite reaching your backplate (on the left) (Note big gap from helmet to backplate.) You could try tighter strapping, may help, or adjust the position on the straps on the front, dependent on what glue was used. Detonator and belt should be straight/level. Right shin overlap a little too much. There is also a gap between the lower ridges on the back of the left thigh, that would get picked for higher levels, adding a piece of plastic behind or fill the gap with ABS paste or Sugru. As I say just some adjustments and tweaks and you should be ready to contact your GML (garrison membership liaison) FYI your GWL (garrison web liaison) will thank you if you could take your photos inside with a blank contrasting background, helps with editing your images for legion profile Good luck

  16. You know someone is going to be short a few pieces of Lego when they next build that Lego set

  18. For centurion your photos really need to be spot on as you are at the top tier and want to look the best in your application, that photo of your ab plates is a close up and would have been an easy one to change out as you didn't need to kit up again. As for the dressing issues I mentioned in your other thread (and one here) that it's entirely up to the DO's if they will allow.
  19. While you are waiting for DO feedback you may want to wipe off those pencil marks on the large ab plate, if you haven't done so already Also forearm overlap on bicep, too much gap at wrists

  21. Very rare you see pieces of armor kits for sale, I would contact some of the armor makers and see if they would sell you pieces, some do. You can find armor maker info in this thread. If any pieces are clone armor then head to Clonetrooper forum Jedi fall under the Rebel Legion so you may want to visit their forum for other information and builds.
  22. Examples of masking or vinyl cut outs work
  23. There is no gallery for Centurions only Expert Infantry
  24. I left more return edge on the sides more for strength as they can crack in these areas when bending over time. This thread may help
