Congratulations trooper

I would suggest that is a mistake and should be removed as it's not mentioned on the abdomen and only on the kidney plate, they are however present on both on the TKC CRL so it may have been cross posted at one stage. Sarah @Alay may wish to update this.

You can contact the DL Sarah @Alay and request a manual update

We don't openly give armor maker information, you have to research, lots of info in the Getting Started section. TM (mentioned above) also does a really nice Hero helmet. I converted a ATA helmet to a Hero version but had to modify the teeth area, but ATA also supplies Hero Ears Check out the differences in Stormtrooper versions here https://drive.google.com/file/d/10tEVteIreh6AHMogW010cuH_Bf8TBfU6/view

Request Stormtrooper access and you should be ok

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the FO ranks

Best advice is to go with a vetted seller https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/ Even look in the build sections, you'll find armor maker names in the headings of most builds, I've personally not seen any builds from "Dave's Darkside Depot" before

Stay off Ebay, lots of great info in the Getting Started section in regards to armor, research is the key to this hobby

Normally these are updated at election time as that is the only time detachment affiliation is needed, you could contact the DL and enquire about a manual change, Sarah @Alay

Good luck with approval

Great work, congrats on approval. A tip with the shoulder decals for next time is to use a little heat while applying, helps to conform to the curve

In EIB/Centurion reviews suggestions are made but if you provide screen evidence to show different then you would be fine

Have you read through the getting started section, there are some threads there with vendor info, some do sell ready to wear armor

You need to be a 501st member to purchase, if you are approved member request access here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16-501st-trooper-status-requests-include-link-to-your-501st-profile-in-your-request/page/289/ Racing shirt thread is here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47984-open-fisd-racing-shirts-2019-run-otfo-designs/

Great detailed build, thanks for sharing, nice work

Coming along nicely, for L3 you want your drop boxes to align with the end of the plastic belt section, a few dabs of E6000 can help hold them in place

I have had issues with rustoleum paint in the past, either from being old stock or just nozzle blocking so I prefer using automotive acrylic paint, it dries a lot quicker between coats and can be sanded and polished unlike enamel paints. Prep you should wash with soapy water and also give a light sand with some wet/dry sandpaper (@400 grit), you can use the soap water as it will help the paper from becoming clogged and will last a little longer. I would still use a primer first as this will show any defects before applying top coat. Really depends on the finish you want if you want a really deep shine then I'd apply clear coat as well.

Congratulations and welcome to the Centurion ranks trooper

Nothing better than BBB's, research is the key so don't panic, lots of great references can be found in the gallery section. Good luck with the build

Nice work just watch some of your armor spacing and angles TD plate on an angle Knee plates and gaps also shin/spats heights Elbow gaps quite large, maybe bring up your forearms a little. Shoulder bells lower than yoke also bring them outward a little at the front, you have quite a big gap on the rear and just touching on the front Cod is pretty low, you may want to try bring that up or you'll be hitting your thighs constantly You may get a knock back with your baton, black series aren't quite accurate but depends on your GML Good luck with approval.

Looking good

Moving along, nice work

All of the references I've seen have a one piece pauldron not folded/creased like the one you show.
