I would think you would still need to paint, aluminium does not have the right color. You can reach out to your GML (garrison membership liaison) as they are ultimately the ones looking after base approval.

Not many use the hard hats these days

You will find that WTF (and a few others) use a lot smaller diameter pipe so standard sized clips are too big, I found a piece of metal pipe the same size as the plasitc pipe then gently hammered to get the clips to sit flatter. If you can't find metal pipe try to clamp the clips between 2 pieces of metal and a vice and apply pressure on the areas needing adjusting, you should be able to move the pieces of metal to other areas to curve the clips better. This may be of help AP also use smaller pipe

I would add slightly larger cover strips so the gap isn't as noticeable. A few threads on adding shims on the rear: This one has the raised ridges which needed to be cut and moved then shims added to both sides A few others

Screen used armor Majority of armor makes are offset, but not all, more images here The cod is stepped backwards Gallery area is full of references https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/24-anh-tk-reference/

File Name: Todo 360 Static Droid Designer: TAH3DGeek Last Update: 29/07/2025 File-URL: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1651529-star-wars-todo-360-static-droid?from=search#profileId-1746060 Description: Just a heads up, this model will not stand upright by itself right now and I am currently designing a more stable stand for it. The files have been released now so you can print, assembly and paint your TODO 360 and add him to your collection unless you want to print him in silver and leave him as is. This is split to fit on all printers from the Bambu lab A1 all the way to the H2D, it will not fit on the A1 Mini. Images:

Sorry I thought the file was one of the free ones, no problems

Excellent Could be a good one to share in the 3D file depository area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/202-3d-file-depository/

Some of your tube stripe openings look a little thin. Your cheek traps lines are a little big towards the back. Comparison below Ultimately it is your GML (garrison membership liaison) who looks after base 501st approval so wouldn't hurt to reach out to him/her/them.

Current Questions What now?? (will look at Tony's Thread) definitely Is the holster from Denuo Novo accurate for acceptance? Yes but not the belt as it has 4 attachments should only have two The large button plate seems a bit more warped around the base than I would expect. Does this matter too much as it's mostly a shell piece on the torso? I've added pic's below only top section is used

File Name: Stormtrooper Sharpshooter of the First Order Designer: Peter Farell Last Update: 18/12/2023 File-URL: https://www.printables.com/model/461748-stormtrooper-sharpshooter-of-the-first-order/files Description: Stormtrooper Sharpshooter of the First Order. Updated model so its 1 shell and flat bottom. Images:

Hopefully the first photo is prior to setting the snaps I use a guide made out of plastic for hole position, it's great to keep them a common size then you can swap out with others if any stretch over time. Try to attach your snap plates closer to the ends of the armor, you won't need as much elastic then and also it will keep the pieces together better, with large gaps they can push backwards. Or this can happen You can leave some return edges on most of your armor pieces.

Issue is the piece is already a wedge shape so too thin at one end Here are some free 3D holster files which you may be able to modify https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4057796 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1474100

Here's a front view of that particular display armor, no addition wedge but has the curved mount The R2 Dan holster wedge is only to change the angle of the mounting This display trooper has both which it was based on The main mount is curved and follows the thigh, I doubt you would be able to get the wedge to do the same.

Plastic welder from Devon should be fine, very similar to the JB weld
