Interesting read on MSW POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD https://makingstarwars.net/2019/07/the-sith-fleet-the-super-weapon-and-what-it-means-in-star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker/

Should not affect higher levels, can be seen on a lot of screen troopers with them, just check through the reference gallery as the following have more angular cuts from the sides and not as square/wide across the bottom as your cut lines Here is one recently approved https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47459-tk-42128-requesting-anh-stunt-centurion-status-anovos-439/#comments

Congratulations trooper

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

Once again congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks, "troopers helping troopers' is FISD's motto and we are all happy to help NOW

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks, look forward to seeing you at EIB

Nice work on the updates, all looking pretty good but one thing though the shin rear cover strips should stop below the top ridge you have them going all the way up.

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

Yes same as any other EIB submission and you may be asked for some extra photos of details specific to that costume, ie boot stripes. Normally a blaster is required for EIB, I've checked the last couple of TKC submissions for EIB and Centurion and each has had a blaster and or a lightsaber as they are an option for TKC, but it's entirely up to the DO's.

Great news, move along, move along

I've been approved in both versions up to L3, one is cut out completely, the other the same with a black backing and the last other one is recessed and painted black. Here is the movie TLJ helmet which was up for auction not so long ago, looks completely cut through to me. Just note keep an eye on the CRL's because they are due for an update and could be very soon.

Rivet connection inside thigh

Nice work, you may want to add inside of the thigh ammo rivets, good luck

Found the Specialist requirements but no mention of shoulder strap material https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/3429-specialist-requirements-magma-trooper/ FWI there are 5 Specialist Magma's, the last January 2018, their build is here https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/4032-am-20-magma-white-to-red/ and specials application here https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/5359-tx-44701-magma-trooper-specialist-application-approved/&tab=comments#comment-76352

Looks good

Not a lot of activity or builds on some

The Rise Of Skywalker

Hello and welcome, lots of info in the getting started section, the vetted sellers list is a good place to start. I have ATA armor and on to my 2nd set after 7 years of trooping, my first set was just a bit scuffed from trooping so is now converted to a Sandtrooper. Also have a look through some of the build sections, will give you a good idea of some differences between the armor. Hope to see a build thread from you in the not too distant future. Good luck with the research.

You may want to contact the DL of Spec Ops in regards to Specialst, the CRL only shows 1 requirement for L2 so I get the feeling nobody has taken that costume to a higher level as yet (although I may be wrong) so really I'd suggest either would be fine.

I noticed a while ago Do3D had files http://do3d.com/product/3d-printable-model-of-first-order-heavy-gunner-stormtroopers-sonn-blas-fwmb-10-repeating-blaster-megablaster-from-star-wars-vii-the-force-awakens-print-file-format-stl/

Another Hot Toys unboxing, has some nice details and shows the dodgy blaster attachment, I think I prefer the FOTK version

Good luck with the build Lee, looking forward to seeing the progress

Nice work, as Jay suggested your thighs should come up a bit, will give you some more room around the knees. If you haven't already you could add some foam behind the sniper plate to hold it away from your thigh. Brow trim is a little wonky. Belt could come up a bit but ok for basic approval. You have come such a long way in such a short time, great work. Good luck with approval, hope you get your numbers soon.

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

That's something the DO's normally organiser, just pm @TheSwede and I'm sure it will get sorted ASAP
