Looks ok now

The Mortar Stormtrooper was a specialized variant of stormtrooper that specialized in mortar weaponry. The stormtrooper was equipped with stormtrooper armor, albeit with yellow markings, a yellow pauldron, and a military backpack. The style and position of the yellow markings on the Mortar Stormtrooper were identical to the red markings of the incinerator troopers deployed by the Imperial remnant led by Moff Gideon.

Looks good

Boring stuff, cleaning off excess E6000 Angle cut belt corners AB button plates glued

No difference R1 Mimban

I thought it may have been a format issue and the text may have pushed the image out. Perhaps LMO's or LWM's need to have a look at it.

Nice work, looking good, just watch your ab/kidney side placement, also drop boxes need to align with the ends of the plastic belt Watch to rotation of your shins to thighs Traps could have had a little more paint Thighs could come up a little if you can adjust the strapping Good luck with approval

Cover strips stop above the lower ridge of the thighs, front and back, notice some ridge showing in some places and not others. But on the shin fronts the cover strip covers the top ridge on the front On the back of the shin they stop below the top ridge

Here's a tall EIB recipient for reference . Always a good idea to look through other's EI builds as a guide, especially search "taller"

I think you'll find once you add some weathering it will look fine

Good luck, hopefully you won't have to wait too long

None of the other CRL's have that weird font "Note, the E-11 holster etc etc" I'm wondering if that font code has anything to do with it

You will also find using tape inside under the join can help straighten pieces before gluing too, just because a piece have a curve doesn't mean you can't straighten it when aligning with the other side Always align the bottom ridges with thighs, top ridges with shins

1. Your drop boxes need to align with the ends of the plastic belt A: I’m gluing these down On the interior of the belt so they don’t move. 2. Need to rotate your forearms so the cover strips are facing forward A: User error on that one. Hadn’t out this on in its entirety in a while. 3. You have a big gap around the knees, perhaps playing around with some strapping may help, drop your ab/cod down so your thighs could come down, bring shins up a little A: This is going to be an issue. I’m 6’3”-6’4” with long legs. I can probably Velcro-up the shins a bit onto the boot loops, but getting more length out of the shins is going to be an issue short of shimming the bottom of the shin. Not sure I can drop the cod/chest further. It’s stretched pretty thin as is. I’ll Velcro the shins and see if that helps. If not I’ll have to try to extend them with a shim. Was just a suggest for a better look but you may very well be at your limit for adjustment. 4. Looks like your backplate wants to come further forward as there is a gap between it and your back on the side image A: Are you talking about the left side? I think that’s an issue with the kidney shim being a little too big. I’m going to have take the shim off at the kidney and shorten it by 1/2” on both sides. The kidney plate is bowing and that’s what’s giving the rising impression. 5. Belt is too low at the back, it actually sits higher than the front, so angles upwards backwards A: User error. I’ll note that. 6. Could adjust your shoulder straps on the rear so they sit central to the back plate tabs A: See the kidney/shim issue above. 7. Close gap at top of shins on rear, add some ABS tabs behind so you can't see the black gap A: Easy fix. Thanks. 8. On rear photo your right bicep needs rotating A: User error 9. I probably would have gone with slightly larger cover strips on the rear of the thighs as the ones you have now stand out a lot when looking at the added material, the right one is very noticeable. A: going to bring in the right thigh again. But how wide can I go? This one I would check with your GML (garrison membership liaison) as they will have the ultimate say in your approval. I have seen some very wide coverstrips use before and approved. Looking at your thighs the cover strips appear to be on an angle, adding slightly larger straight cover strips will fill in some of the modified area, I would try 35-40 and have a look from there. On the right back you have an area on the top left which stands out, may be an angle piece, covering that would look better 10. Also the thigh cover strips should stop just short of the lower ridges, you are close but still a little long. A. I’m not following this one. Are you talking about the front of the thighs? 11. Also just watch the gaps on your shoulders to chest, they vary quite a lot through the photos. A: Going to shorten the bell straps to the bridges by an inch. That’ll bring them in.

Nice work, a few things but most being fitting and strapping: Your drop boxes need to align with the ends of the plastic belt Need to rotate your forearms so the cover strips are facing forward You have a big gap around the knees, perhaps playing around with some strapping may help, drop your ab/cod down so your thighs could come down, bring shins up a little Looks like your backplate wants to come further forward as there is a gap between it and your back on the side image Belt is too low at the back, it actually sits higher than the front, so angles upwards backwards Could adjust your shoulder straps on the rear so they sit central to the back plate tabs Close gap at top of shins on rear, add some ABS tabs behind so you can't see the black gap On rear photo your right bicep needs rotating I probably would have gone with slightly larger cover strips on the rear of the thighs as the ones you have now stand out a lot when looking at the added material, the right one is very noticeable.

Also just watch the gaps on your shoulders to chest, they vary quite a lot through the photos. A good idea to add some mesh behind your teeth, so the younglings can't see your face A few tweaks and I'm sure you'll be fine, good luck

Thanks Andrew Snaps added to belt, also added one to the center with nylon since there is no middle button cover Button covers applied Drop boxes trimmed, backs and elastic added and glued to belt Shoulder straps test fitted, tape guide to follow and glued in place Strapping applied and tested AB buttons before and after WOW these RS sniper plates are annoying, hopefully the clamps work Harness strapping finished, has home made adjusters on the belt, can be moved along the belt as long as adjust height

Not showing on Google mobile but showing on Google desktop so must be a mobile issue

Look good to go, you could take a little more off if you really wanted from the teeth just don't cut into the gums, eyes look fine

Looking forward to seeing the progress, good luck

Nice work, a lot of effort put into this and it looks it was well worth it. I find with velcro if I try to bend too far it can also open.

It's the forum at the moment, been glitchy the last few days around this time, deleted extra posts

I have found using any switches in the gloves is to make sure wires are held tight as they can break when your fingers move, adding some E6000 or hot glue to the wires and connection can help them last a bit longer.
