Many thanks Sergiu, we did find a work around for many watermarked images so at least we have been able to save a lot of images here on the forums:

The BigJasoni's ROTK 3D Print Build Thread
gmrhodes13 replied to BigJasoni's topic in Rogue One Build Threads
Great work, it's just the extra print time you get stuck with but saves you so much more in pre paint work, I prefer the less hands on approach now and with 3 printers the extra print time isn't that bad -

I left some for strength

Nice work

Imperial Arms 3D E-11 (version 3) kit
gmrhodes13 replied to OddViking327's topic in ANH BlasTech E11
Looks great, well done and a very quick turn around, now get these pics on your app -
I've not seen gloves made out of two different materials used before. I find using cloth liners to be a great help while wearing rubber gloves, they absorb the sweat and you don't feel the rubber, normally have a few spare pairs on a troop to swap them during breaks, nothing worse than putting a soggy inner glove on. Could be an option for you and of course screen accurate to use rubber. Also using the glove inners they actually seem to keep your hands cool, probably because of the build up of sweat

Shinyarmour1 AP ANH Stunt First Build
gmrhodes13 replied to Shinyarmour1's topic in ANH Build Threads
Nice work. Adding some foam behind the shin may help push the sniper plate away from your thighs, you don't want to catch it while walking or bending -
I'm down under so I doubt it would be the same, it's just general hardware black silicon, nothing special

Great news, research is the key, be ready for once it arrives, looking forward to seeing the BBB photos

Ive seen a lot build where people use tabs which are screwed on to a base of thick plastic which is glued to the helper, if you leave the screws a little loose you could twist the tabs to allow the lenses to come out. A magnet system would work too, glue some plastic to the lenses in a few places, this would allow magnets to be glued underneath then glue magnets to the inside of the helmet. E6000 works the best for me when gluing magnets. I'm sure there are other methods around, I'll have a search when I'm back on computer

I think you will find you need 501st access first https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16-501st-trooper-status-requests-include-link-to-your-501st-profile-in-your-request/page/318/#comment-707126 -
Looks good, the front should cover all the thigh lower ridge going on references BUT some armor just won't allow that due to the shape of them so don't stress about that

I also find using a piece of cardboard inside helps hold out the glove so the handplate can sit flat on the glove, then use a book or other heavy item to hold down.

At long last, what a ride, congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks -
Normally 24 hours, well that's the one I use anyway, I would think most would be the same

Depends on the silicon, sometimes I use E6000 or superglue but last time I use a black silicon and that worked best, make sure you rough up the guards and gloves a little with some sandpaper first, will help with adhesion.

They can be a little difficult to stick in some areas, it's easy enough to pull back a problem area and re-apply, if you use a little force too it can help on problem areas. Using a pin can help for any air bubbles. You can use the old model making trick and apply with soapy water but it does take ages to get all the water out so you have to keep at them until you do. Lots of websites with info for wet applying decals https://www.carstickers.com/blog/post/apply-your-sticker-like-a-pro/#:~:text=You can apply most smaller,the area is still wet.
