  1. Yes both rubber and silk gloves had been used, some in the same scenes. the "hero" handplates would have been with rubber gloves. No holes Holes Promo shot, one with holes one without Hanplates with rubber gloves are not drilled, just have an elastic strap over the palm. Handplates with silk gloves are drilled and sewn. You can use either combination for L2 OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): If rubber gloves are worn the hand plates will be affixed via an elastic strap over the palm. No stitching/holes are permitted. If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates have the correct visible stitching with a 5 point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, double stitched with 2 holes at each point and sewn to the glove at each one using black thread. You can use either glove/handplate combination OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Gloves must be either black silk, satin, nylon, or silk-like material, or gloves must be rubber or rubber-like chemical gloves, in black There was quite a big staff debate in 2021 about ESB gloves and versions
  2. Many use silk gloves, I have similar to these https://www.amazon.com/ALASKA-BEAR-Natural-Gloves-Unisex/dp/B00PIMIZWA?th=1&psc=1 ESB Gloves Black in color, made of either rubber, nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Gloves must be either black silk, satin, nylon, or silk-like material, or gloves must be rubber or rubber-like chemical gloves, in black Rubber Silk More references here The silk gloves where quite short, as you can see on the trooper on the right, right wrist is showing

  4. Nice work Alice, it's all about the details I found in the past having a full length mirror really handy for checking fitment, your photographer doesn't always know what to look out for. In most of my TK armors I don't have full mobility, as long as you comfortably walk and move you should be good to go. One thing which your GWL will love you for would be taking your photos inside with a contrasting backdrop, makes editing your photos for the legion database so much easier. Lighting outdoors can distort and add shadows to photos. We have a thread about taking photos here
  5. I've heard these snaps can be a pain if they are on an angle but I've never encountered an issue.
  6. Unfortunate for sure, shame you weren't told this earlier. White waiting you have your research to do, research is the key to this hobby, you have some great links previously posted, any questions don't hesitate to ask. ANH build threads go here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ Looking forward to seeing your soon
  7. Incorrect link, that is your legion forum profile, this is the droid link you are looking for https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=48292
  8. Thanks for sharing, it may get lost here so I will move it across to the FOBG (First Order Battle Group) in Quick find resources and "pin it" so it doesn't get buried
  9. Nice work, one thing that looks as it may be an issue, the overlap on the shins should be outside over inside, this is so you don't see any gaps/velcro from the outside, this is standard across most (if not all) TK version costumes. Comparison (note your left leg closure) A few other things, lower attachment from chest to backplate looks like it came loose. Also there is a big gap between your backplate and back, no doubt the pack adds to that, you may need to adjust the strapping, for my Din Djarin my pack harness fits around my chest back and separate to the armor. Belt at 2 different angles. Also on the rear it's angled downwards from left to right. It may be my eyes but appears you may have some print lines on the side detonators. Belt angle, also bunching up of your neck seal
  10. A couple of fans in the helmet can make all the difference, feel air across your face as well as help prevent fogging is a godsend. Looking forward to seeing your progress photos soon.
  11. Hello and welcome back, you can request TK forum access here
  12. You can also use a philips head screwdriver to slightly split the post, gives more area to grip too.
  13. Personally I use a Dremel (a nock off brand) rotary tool, well 3, all with different tips, I'm too lazy to waste time swapping tip tools, they have a cutting disc, drum sander and debur tip. Some great info in this thread You will also find A LOT of information in this thread Good luck with the build, look forward to seeing your progress
  14. Well worth the adjustments, looks much better, well done
  15. Almost there. Just watch your gaps, I'd say your shoulder/bicep was pushing downwards, not much gap at your elbow and handplate hitting forearm, chest is on an angle too. You may want to move your thigh buckle so it's not seen. Also try to rotate your shoulder bells so the gap closes, having the staps further to the front of the shoulders will help bring them forward at rest.
  16. This one took it to the next level, foam build ROTK, unfortunately not many images for the detonator assembly. You may be able to find some pepakura files Oh and sorry for derailing the thread
  17. You should make a detonator our of foam (pool noodle), catch some of your fellow members off guard when you lob it at them (to throw or hit something)
  18. A small gap is allowable, some better side on images would be good. The @Deployment Officer Teamshould be able to comment if they are presentable for L3 Some info on the ear angles The "ideal" ear placement is as seen below, where the screws line up with the rear angle of the trap right above it. Because some armorers design their helmets differently or send them pre-assembled this is not always possible to achieve, but it is suggested that you try to get as close as you can. Note: Top ear screws should ideally be located directly below the rear of the trap.
  19. Very nice. I do find the suspenders help so the belt isn't digging into your sides with the weight of the thighs, anything to make it more comfortable to wear
  20. Here's a couple other threads on shorter trooper builds you may find useful https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38842-fragarocks-rs-stunt-build-not-to-scale/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/
  21. File-Name: Imperial Wedding – The Men Trooper Designer: Slevin Last Update: 28/02/2025 File-URL: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1462806-the-imperial-wedding-the-men-trooper#profileId-1525487 Description: 💍 The Imperial Wedding – The Groom 💫 Under that polished helmet stands a man of few words and even fewer emotions — unless you count deep, unconditional loyalty (and maybe a single happy beep from his comm device). Dressed in formal Imperial fashion — which naturally includes full armor — this groom is ready to march down the aisle with military precision and just a touch of romantic rebellion. Forget the bouquet toss; he's more into thermal detonators (purely decorative, of course). Whether stationed atop a wedding cake or standing tall in your collection, this figurine proves that true love can thrive even under the strictest Empire regulations — and yes, he's authorized to love.
