Some great screen references in the Gallery Section ATA armor is nice and thick and very sturdy, I've owned two, one converted to a Sandtrooper after about 8 years of trooping, very little issues or cracking. A little tougher to trim, I tend to use rotary tools. I did an ATA commission build, a few images in there may be of help

Generally not really but two factors are your one your size and how the armor fits on you, thinner troopers leave some return edge to fill any gap, and second your GML (garrison membership liaison) some can be stricter than others BUT I've personally not seen any issues to date.

Hello and welcome aboard, posting images is a great way to get feedback on your build. This is a very informative thread Good luck with the build

Great news, good luck and hope you get a favourable reply and we see you with a TKID soon If you wish to you can post photos in our pre approval area for feedback, but not a requirement https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/

Generally you size to your, there is no one size fits all, BUT you don't want to size too small or it looks odd. I have a fingers width gap in my thighs as I have really thin legs, I added some foam inside so they sit central. A few threads on amor sizing Pandatrooper has some great videos For the shorter trooper you can add mobility cuts BUT this is after you are fully strapped, I've seen a few people go too far and that can look odd. I don't get full movement in armor, probably 1/3rd knee bending, although with holding the thigh up I can get all the way kneeled down.

so of course nothing is actually strapped together yet, but again I'm still running into the same problem earlier, I can't get the shins on/off properly without undoing the tape. Yes you would have to remove the tape, once the fronts are glued and cover strip attached you can open the shins at the back enough to get your shin/foot in and out comfortably, the rear attach either hooks and elastic or velcro or even magnets How to stop them rotating

I attempted to fix this on the right thigh using a hot air gun, but it didn't do anything. (was really just too worried I would melt it) I would take it you put the parts in place when gluing, hence the need for clamps and magnets. It's pretty standard that pieces don't align fully, using magnets, clamps as well as tape, put downwards pressure on the armor while wrapping with tape tightly. Some have success with hot water bath, I use a heat gun but that's after A LOT of practice, you are right to be worried, it can go from pliable to molten mess in the blink of an eye. this morning I had just mask taped my suit together to see how well it would work. I think the only problem I had with getting it on was the right shin, I couldn't get it on without ripping the tape. Normally wrap around fist then tape up, helps with another pair of hands maybe wasn't the best idea to wear jeans and a jacket underneath. When sizing you should wear your undersuit, amazing how much room gets taken up by jeans and jacket, also correct boots Right off the bat... (PLEASE keep in mind this is just me pointing out whats Obviously wrong, so I can keep an eye out for it later) // shoulders should be closer to chest plate yes // chest plate, abdomen and thighs should be higher yes // shins should sit a little lower wait for correct boots A little stout for a stormtrooper. (this is before completely finishing trimming) A few builds from shorter troopers who have made some modifications https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38416-crickets-rs-stunt-build-for-the-vertically-challenged/ 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/ two other questions I have. can you use white sealing caulk for the helmet/armor? Really up to your GML some may approve, personally I wouldn't (particularly on the mouth due to trimming too much, and the ears since they do look sloppy and I don't dare cut anymore) I would tape from the back and use ABS slurry/paste, apply thin coats, sand with various sizes until using ultrafine, then polish. Making ABS Paste by kman (Print PDF) Resize Armor with ABS Scaps & Paste by Harbinger (Print PDF) does anyone sell left ears? I just want a left ear. Be careful here, there is a BIG difference in shades of white between makers and their suppliers, drastic on some, almost cream compared to others, try to stick with the same maker.

Your images should be indoors, with a solid contrasting background. Some of your images are a bit blurry to make out details. Also check how everything is sitting, your boot loop is outside your shin on the rear, drop boxes should be aligned with end of your plastic belt From the EIB photo Checklist PHOTO GUIDELINES Photo size- At least 800 X 600 (preferably 1280 X 960) Good lighting A neutral (solid) background color is suggested, more info in this thread

Velcro works well for me, you just have to make sure the shins close fully, may need a little heat to get them sitting flush. There has also been some who use magnets Magnetic Shin Closures by Cricket (Print PDF) Magnetic Shin Closures (supplement) by Zugor Alternate Magnetic Shin Closures by OddViking327

Hello and welcome, you don't have to make the weathering exactly, although I would with my OCD, I did that with my TFU stormtrooper build Good luck, looking forward to seeing your build progress

Most of the bottoms are trimmed off but you can leave some return edge if you have skinny arms, helps to fill out the areas, same for the tops. Some armor makes have the raised areas, which you normally keep on if you cut them off they may be too narrow, coverstrip widths: Arms 15mm Thighs 20mm Shins front 20mm, back 25mm they are a little wider to attach velcro Bicep references. The can be stepped or cut on an angle, either is acceptable to L3. I prefer trimmed on an angle so they don't stick into your arms when moving. Also note the elastic, attached to inner top of the arms I've not tried using a box cutter on plastic apart from making coverstrips, this is where the rotary tool is very handy for.

Just Googled it as I had no idea A Power BI dashboard is a single-page, visual representation of key data metrics and insights, designed to provide a high-level overview at a glance. It's essentially a curated collection of visualizations (like charts, graphs, and tables) that highlight the most important aspects of a business or data story. Dashboards are a feature of the Power BI service, not Power BI Desktop. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-dashboards

I like to use a rotary tool (or 3, hate changing tips so I purchased another 2) I feel I have more control and cuts down on trimming time, but it's entirely up to you what method you use

There has been a few other posts on this issue and wait times recently, BUT a couple of members who had been waiting a year finally received their orders, so there is hope, hang in there.

Hello and welcome to the ranks trooper, you can request higher access here

Both are acceptable for L3 Centurion

The run is closed, there will be another run after these have been produced. La carrera está cerrada, habrá otra carrera después de que se hayan producido estos.

More cons like SDCC tend to get the costumes, there was an Acolyte display and Lucasfilm Pavillion in 2024

Glue additional plastic then ABS slurry or bondo if you are going to paint. ABS slurry apply in very thin coats, lessons air bubbles, it's a lot of work to sand and polish though. Remember too that the back remains open so if you have a bigger gap it shouldn't really matter as the detonator will cover it. Someone extended their chest on the sides Here's an OTTK shim thread Using ABS slurry Resizing armor pieces, for OTTK but be similar

Nice work, came out great, don't get much better than that. Note sure if you can but the mesh in the hovi's could be set back a little (that's my ocd kicking in ) Reference

Hello and welcome, looking forward to seeing some trooping photos from you, if you start a troop log you may even get featured in the Hall of Fame
