Congratulations trooper

Stopped delivering and answering, more info here

Hello and welcome aboard

Nice work, glue, screws or rivets are normally used to hold the sides together before adding the ears. Will make a big difference too when final fitting the ears.

Nice work, looking forward to the progress

It would be advisable to add separate images to your post rather than a link to a gallery

Hello and welcome, as you posted in the TFA are you must be looking for First Order armor, have a read here

You can also refer to the gallery section while building, sometimes it can be quicker than waiting for a response to a question

Definitely looks like fan art, love the pink colored troopers

Could you post some side photos of the helmet, appears the sides may be too far forward which reduces the size of the opening for your head.

Great news, looking forward to seeing the BBB photos and unboxing

I came up with these some time ago and they work great keeping the butt in place

I first washed mine with soapy water then gave a light rub with some 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, it will help paint adhere.

Nice work, looking forward to the test fit

I've not had that issue with fans before but other plastic products I've purchased definitely have an unpleasant smell.

Great news looking forward to seeing the BBB photos soon

None here that I'm aware of, I've seen some online just doing a google search but I can't say whether they would be 501st approvable. http://do3d.com/product/3d-printable-model-stormtrooper-first-order/ https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/463962512/3d-model-of-stormtrooper-armor-first

I used a drill and files, I find that is a lot more control than the Dremel

Congratulations once again. First request higher access here Then have a read through the EIB section (you must be approved as an EI before you can request Centurion) https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/95-expert-infantryman-program/

Nice work, with the thigh ammo strip the rivets should be more towards the corners, shouldn't be an issue for basic approval thought, depending on your GML

The CRL's are updated from time to time, if you have a look at the bottom of the ROTJ CRL you will notice it was last edited in August 2018 and I don't believe much was changed. Updates can happen to any costume when it's always best to check in with the CRL's from time to time. This is why checking back with them is important as well as checking the gallery seciton, build threads and researching. Top section of the CRL's says: This document is not intended to be a detailed how-to on costume construction; rather a visual guide to be used for 501st costume approval. Details on construction may be found on the respective costume detachment web forum. With that said there are a lot of what you have posted which will be addressed in the next round of CRL updates. Armor is indeed overlap constructed Boots do have white/tan soles Boot soles shall be white, off white or have the sides painted white. Shoulder rivet One pop style rivet shall be present on the front of each shoulder bridge. May be painted white. No large tab at back Shoulder straps must be curved to lay flat against the back plate, and may be affixed with Velcro of needed. No large rear tab is present. Belt Knee/shin rivets The thigh ammo pack may have an extra rivet on the front, located toward the top between the second and third boxes on the wearer's right. May be painted white. Hope those images help, you can find more in the ROTJ gallery section https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/26-rotj-tk-reference/ If you would like some further clarifications on the ROTJ CRL in regards to your present build you could contact our head DO Joseph @justjoseph63 or our DL Sarah @Alay

Coming along nicely

Looking good, keep up the great work

Always a good idea to have a look through the build sections for other AP builds, you can find a lot of info in those

Looking forward to the progress, when in doubt check with the gallery section or asks questions, good luck.
