Thanks for the kind words brother

The LMO team use a single email [email protected]. but our DL Andrew is the go between for Stormtrooper enquiries so perhaps PM Andrew first as he may be able to get a quicker response, after all he has been conversing with them throughout this project.

My personal take would for realistic would be following on from the TLJ-E which is a matt black which gives the appearance of a grey against gloss and satin black, BUT I guess it is ultimately up to the LMO's interpretation of what references you supply for comparison. No doubt Andrew will weigh in and perhaps approach the LMO's.

Hello and welcome aboard, good luck with the researching, hope to see a build thread from you soon Here's a great thread full of info which should help you on your way

Great to hear you are well being looked after, been hard for a lot of new builders with the covid and lack of armor build days and events. At least you know you have local support if needed, onward and upwards

It was just a piece of furniture foam about 2 inches thick, about a hand size in width, just takes up any slack behind the ab when you tighten the belt.

Looks good to me

Nice work trooper, could you also add the link to your EIB application May need a D ring photo too and a front on sniper plate Good luck with approval

Here are some references for you

Now that's got to be fate

Looking good trooper, just a few really picky things, more for higher levels. Watch the alignment of your coverstrips on the legs, they should be straight, also may help to stop your thighs hitting the cod. Gap at the wrists could be reduced a little, perhaps drop the forearms just a touch On the rear your shoulder straps could be bent down a little more so they sit flat. TD is not quite in the center and you have a small gap in the ridge on the top of the left shin. Also for higher levels you may need to remove a little bit of paint from near the gums Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Doubling over the elastic can tighten the strapping between the chest and backplates. There are also tighter industrial elastics which have a lot more tension than standard elastic. Personally I think you are fine for basic and just a few tweaks on positioning which we all go through Great work and good luck Butt plate is being pushed backwards, I found adding some V tabs behind can help keep them straight. 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. Also your ab is overlapping the kidney, being on the skinny side myself I found I had to add some foam behind the ab to help hold it away when tightening the belt. Also on the belt if you look at the angle from the side the belt is angling down towards the back, normally they are centered or angling upwards, could also be because you are leaning back a little .

Thanks Gents and thank you for spending the time to go over my pre painting queries, it is very appreciated

cheers Randy, not quite that many but we'l on the way, I'm feeling an intervention coming on

Many thanks

Welcome aboard once again trooper, here's to many happy years of trooping and bringing smiles to the masses

Cheers mate

No I didn't After you enter the url sometimes another page opens, close that page, then you are back to the download page, when you click Convert another page will open, close that too. You shouldn't have to install anything I'm aware.

If you really get stuck on any details just PM @justjoseph63 he's always been the pack go to guy, he may not always see a particular post or question

Nice work on the TD details. For insides you will find they overlapped (also had a slight curve), many glue in position but they can be left loose as was seen on screen

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the Centurion ranks
