  1. Good luck, hope you hear something very soon
  2. It's only very recently that some have been printing full armor, mainly Rogue One styled, I don't know of anyone that has original trilogy 3D files which are approvable. There are a lot of helpful guides on youtube about sizing armor to a persons size Here's one based on clonetroopers which may give you some hints Pretty much all original trilogy Stormtrooper armor is vac formed plastic, which can be trimmed to a persons size, even those of smaller height.

  4. Normally you can get more tabs on the ATA chest, but depends on your size and how you have trimmed, try to get as many as possible as what was approvable for someone in the past may no longer be due to different GML's and Deployment Officers. Here is a commission ATA build I did which has the larger tab and 3 small tabs so, that's the maximum I could add then you start running into the ridge on the the chest and doesn't sit properly. It's also a good idea to use painters tape as a guide once you have the shoulder straps sitting how you want them, so you can remove and add glue
  5. It seems there are different levels of access to different accounts, could be because of when they where created, or even how many folders or images they have, I keep getting messages "you are over your account limit" but I can still access my images. When the fiasco first started I could download all of my folders and images but now can no longer do so, clicking on the download does nothing, although I'm 4,500 images over my 250 limit They are definitely making it hard for people, some are just lucky to still be able to access their images.
  6. Always best to check the gallery sections, CRL is approximate measurements, just because a maker has mold lines does not make it correct Measurements given in this document are intended to be approximate and generalized; not criteria for approval. CRL image is a guide, we try to give screen references when giving feedback on builds as you may be aiming for L3
  7. It's just omitted from the image I posted, not all images used in visual dictionaries are 100% correct, here's a display reference
  8. You could recess the ear screws a little more, just using a larger drill bit and turning gently and applying a little pressure by hand. Not sure how you are painting but it is easier to paint the black edges first as you are only trying to keep the outsides straight, the inside doesn't matter so the lines don't need to be really thin, you paint the grey over the top of any excess black, you get straighter lines this way. Looks like your vocoder may need some tidying up too Some references for the teeth areas, try not to get paint on the gums
  9. I have skinny arms also, add two pieces of foam which holds them tight and stops rotation
  10. Although the reference shown has some extra cut from the front of the large tab usually this area is not cut and some return edge is left, so trim along the dotted line. The cut off section on the large tab is not a L2 or L3 requirement either ATA shoulder straps are a lot shorter than other makes and screen used, check for length and fitment before taking off the back large tab or they may end up too short. Ideal positioning on the front of the chest going on screen references is large tab and 4 to 5 small tabs, but ATA won't allow this because of the chest design and ridge, normally you can get the larger tab and 2 to 3 smaller tabs positioned on the chest.
  11. Standard F-11D is black but the stock "heavy" F-11D is white (CRL image is incorrect) it's something that was discussed a while ago and should be updated to the CRL If you have any issues when seeking approval just forward your references to your GML
  12. Another good video
  13. Collar has little to no return edge Backplate reference
  14. Hello and welcome aboard, look forward to seeing your delivery photos
  15. Nice work, a few things before the DO's get here: A few of your images are a bit blurry so you may need to replace those as it's hard to see some details. Looks like you have some pretty big biceps which makes them sit to the sides while wearing, your left is really noticeable, if you can't reduce the size of them you may want to try some foam in the inside to help them sit central, they won't be as noticeable if they sit central. Also try to make sure your legs match alignment, coverstrip to coverstrip. Thigh heights are not quite matching as well. You should remove the excess glue, rub with thumb or use a scrap of plastic to push off Mobility cuts on the rear are not that angular on screen references. Thigh heights on rear are different, also left appears to be hitting the butt plate You have a lot of extra fabric belt material which could be trimmed off, normally belt is covered by the TD You could tighten the lines on your vocoder paint, mainly the rounded areas. Can't quite tell if you have replaced the hovi mesh, Anovos is too fine. Good luck with approval
  16. Hi there nice work, just a couple of things for tweaking. Your thighs are at a slightly different height as well as you have quite a gap between the tops of them and the cod, you could bring them upwards a little. Large gap at your wrists and elbows very narrow gap, you could drop the forearms a little to give you more gaps at your elbows for movement. Appears your butt plate may be overlapping the kidney on the side image, strapping may need to be adjusted A little hard to give much feedback as the images are a little on the small side and slightly blurry when enlarged, your GML (garrison membership liaison) would appreciate slightly larger clearer images and don't forget you'll need to send in an action shot too Good luck with approval
  17. Looks good, sniper plates like to put up a good fight Shins at times do need a little heat to help them lay a little flatter with their opposing sides, years of practice with a heat gun and it's a quick fix but you may want to try a hot water bath since you've had some success with other pieces.
  18. Not too worry there will be plenty of more troops in the future Stay on target and I'm sure you'll get that TK approved soon.
  19. Congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper
  20. Lots of great build threads to follow, here's one https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35086-ukswraths-anovos-tk-build-stunt/#comment-458776
  21. I tried the self stick velcro once and with warmth it does can come off, if you are going to line with one I would say the softer velcro inside and hook on the pieces you want to add like padding and so. I painted the inside of mine in a satin black which darkens the interior enough so there is no reflection through the lenses with outside light. I like using paint as I can wipe off any sweat that builds up, which happens a lot at long hot troops. I have velcro glued with E6000 only in spots that the padding and fans sit. Good idea to have padding with velcro as you can remove and wash when sweaty. Look forward to seeing it finished, be quite a lot of work to get is all sitting right, especially with the curves, good luck
