Just hit space or enter after posting the link and it should change the link to an image For higher level approval on the belt the corners of the plastic belt should meet the outside of the fabric belt.

Hello and welcome aboard, nothing better than BBB's. Once you get your adjustments made you could post some photos in the pre approval section for feedback before you send in to your GML (garrison membership liaison) https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/ -
Tim’s first time build (RS Prop Masters ESB TK)
gmrhodes13 replied to TrickyT81's topic in ESB Build Threads
I actually use a satin black, I find matt can appear too flat, almost dark grey and chalky. I also use satin on the teeth, you can just see a hint of shine. -

TK Monkus' RS Prop Masters ANH-S Build Thread (first build)
gmrhodes13 replied to TK Monkus's topic in ANH Build Threads
Normally you need to add a little heat to get them to sit right, the better they are from the get go the better they will close. Even using velcro I find if you don't use some heat they won't fully close. A lot of people use the hot water bath, submerge for a short period in hot water then hold to the shape you desire until it cools. If they still don't close fully you can glue a piece of abs behind one side so when closed it will pull the other side flush. You may also notice with RS on the left back of the shin towards the bottom that the left side is smaller than the right and the split is not central giving a slanted appearance, to help this you could add the coverstrip offset to this side, so instead of fully gluing half the cover strip just add 1/4, this brings the covestrip over a bit which will make it look more central. Quick example of what I mean -

gmrhodes13 replied to TheDecisiveRaindrop's topic in ANH Build Threads
Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks -
That's an impressive amount of printing and prep, nice work

Velcro may help keep the belt in place, I have 4 snaps along the back of the belt which keeps mine in place, same on the front.
-
Hello and welcome aboard, the Getting Started section will help you on your way, especially this thread. This is also a great thread full of resources

I think you are the first WTF FOTK build so it will definitely be interesting to see how everything goes together

You can always contact one of their team to confirm, they are pretty slow over at Spec Ops, took a year and a half to finalize the Sithtrooper CRL. Normally if there is any confusion between which detachment a CRL is under the Detachment Leaders will discuss with the LMO's. I'm surprised they already started work on a CRL.

I sewed my elastic to the shoulder elastic so it doesn't move, adding glue will work just the same You quickly find once you finish one build you want to start another, getting bitten by the building bug. Once you get some photos taken you are welcome to post in our Pre Approval Forum, this is a way of getting any feedback for basic approval before you approach your GML (garrison membership liaison) also a great way to get feedback on any L2 or L3 issues, thread is here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/

Looking forward to seeing your build progress, good luck

Ear Trimming Made Easy...
gmrhodes13 replied to trooper96's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I think you will find he's using an already assemble helmet and taking a template of the already fitted ears with the foil, then transfer that template to the new ears on another helmet build.l and draw a trim line. I have found in my experience even build the same helmets things can be a little different from one to another. Here's a really helpful helmet build thread -
Your gap should be covered by the ear, if not you may need to adjust, here's a really good helmet tutorial which you may find helpful, most helmet builds are pretty much the same
-
Great to see you found your way here, when posting from Imgur you are better posting seperate links into your post, use the "direct link", needs to have .jpg or .png on the end of the image link A great thread on return edges is here You may want to check your TD measurements Teeth are coming along well, you could just take a touch more out of the corners, also a little more out of the eyes Some references When in doubt you can alwlays check the Gallery Sections And don't forget to follow the CRL (costume reference library) https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt Good luck with the build
