Probably The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making and then that section is all done. -
I've done that to all of my belts after realizing a flat belt pops of with the slightest of movement

With your belt have you added some curve, as any sideways pressure on pops or snaps will make it come loose.

Looking better, just on the sides watch the angle of the brow trim. You may be able to trim just a little off the cap to help straighten it. You may find this is common to WFT helmets, just compare with a few other build threads

Subduedbeast requests pre approval
gmrhodes13 replied to Subduedbeast's topic in Request TK Pre-Approval
Nice work trooper, a couple of adjustments you could make. Shoulder bells could come in more at the top, you may find if you double over the elastic from chest to back it will be tighter and not be pulled as much. There are some big gaps on your sides, either tighter strapping or perhaps had some shims. For EI and Centurion: Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide You could trim the extra material from your TD clips, also rotate the TD so more of the O can be seen Butt plate is sticking backwards, perhaps tighter strapping, also watch positioning of your drop boxes, should align with the ends of the plastic belt Vocoder could have a little more paint on the second ridges. Also add some white paint to the rim of the hovi tips Adding some foam behind your sniper plate should help hold it forward away from your thigh A bit hard to see some fine details but most just appears to be some fitting and tweaking. Great work and good luck with approval -
Normally you need to post a link to your legion profile but unfortunately your record is classified due to falling retired, once your GML/CO has you back to approved post your profile link here. You may also want to check the CRL's as some changes may have been made and you may have to update your costume before being reapproved, CRL's can be found here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL

Great news, congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper

I find my rubber gloves from Woolworth's, also a good idea to have some of the white cotton liner gloves, they help soak up the sweat so the rubber gloves don't stick to your hands. I go through a few pairs of the cotton inners during a troop, it's like putting on a fresh glove when you swap them out
-
Normally snaps are used which are a lot stronger than those pop's. I use another snap in the center which helps to stop the belt moving up or down (in red below)

You could post in the sales section WTB (wanted to buy) some armor makers like AM supply ESB handplates with their armor kits so someone may have a spare set https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/11-for-saletrade-personal-items-only/

rotj chest / back / abdomen / kidney & posterior armor
gmrhodes13 replied to Muhobi's topic in ROTJ Stormtrooper
I would suggest trying one of the armor makers CFO do ROTJ armor, not sure if he will sell separate pieces though, you cold PM @sskunky -
You have a big gap between the back plate and chest, I would suggest you need to reduce the length of the straps to bring them closer, this will also reduce any overlap of the back and kidney You also have a large gap between the butt plate and kidney. Adding tighter strapping closer to the ends may help, or you could add some V tabs
