The CRL’s can be updated when new references become available they don’t just stop because armor makers make armor a certain way Many makers have made updates to their products over the years to accomodate the changes. Be great if they could get on the forums and post photos of their progress

Have you checked this thread

You should really have a read through the Getting Started section, try here Do you want something that is just going to sit on a shelf or you are going to try get approved in, there is a big difference between the 2. If it's just for a shelf that the Black Series is a nice display piece, if it's for 501st approval then you will have to spend a little more and do a little research. Have a look through some of the build threads, will give you an idea of what is involved. Also have a look at the CRL's (costume reference library) these are the costume requirements for joining the 501st, for Shock troopers look here

Congratulations once again trooper

Congratulations trooper

Have a read through the Getting Started section, there’s a nice thread on Armor makers

Remove the glue as much as you can, you could also try some automotive cutting polish

Once strapping is attached it should help to keep everything pulled in nicely

Appears back to normal

Congratulations trooper

Nothing better than a BBB, good luck with the build

Congratulations trooper

Coming along nicely

I normally leave for 24hrs but if they feel that they had any strain on them to close then I leave for 48hrs

Same down under and also main legion board

You can also add some elastic to the top of the boots then snaps to the inside of the shin, works well and the elastic allows for some movement when stretching

Nice work, I'd say you'll be fine for basic approval, good luck

I used some rubber hose as a stencil/guide, with pressing down on the rubber it creates a seal. You can also apply some white first so if there are any areas that may run at least the white will be seen

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

As Jim has said the cut lines aren't that important, the only ones really you want to worry about is where the cover strips don't cover, the ridges on the bottom of the thighs you want them to meet without a gap. Also the ends of pieces which have a return edge still showing, these should also be as tight a gap as you can get.

Great news, looking forward to the build, not enough Phasma builds on here

Nice build, looking good

Had similar issues here and only managed (after a lot of searching trial and error) to find one type/brand of acetone that will work to make abs paste, hang in there I'm sure you will find something that works at your end.

Congratulations trooper
