Hello and welcome, have a read through the Getting Started section, should help you on your way

Look a similar design to The Last Jedi Although TLJ had lights

Weather does play havoc on painting

Congratulations and welcome to the ranks trooper

Congratulations trooper and welcome aboard

Looking forward to the progress

Some glue elastic to the inside of the hand plate which then goes around the glove, you could also attach Velcro to the glove and hand plate, I find E6000 to hold really well. The more times you put on armor the easier it gets, I practiced about half a dozen times before my first troop, then got there and realised I had been practicing with everything set out on a table and when I got to the trooper and there wasn't any tables I get kitted up these days within 5 minutes, definitely gets easier

Twenty Minutes of Deleted Scenes Coming on 'The Last Jedi' Blu-Ray

Congratulations trooper

I added decals after the clear coat, the paint can sometimes soften the adhesive if you clear coat after decals are applied.

Too many holes, too much comedy, especially the Hux on hold scene, 1.5 seconds of executioners, see more of them in the trailers. But at least I found the answer for dropping bombs in space Be nice if we could get the other 30 minutes added to the movie, might make a lot more sense then

Your GML can post in the GML section of the 501st legion forum if he needs others to have a look over also.

Hopefully you haven't dropped any glue on that dinning table Good luck with approval.

Photos to aim for, front, side, back, side, action and helmet off. Good luck.

Hello and welcome aboard, some great info here Also look through some of the build threads, should help you on your way.

Goo gone should take care of that sticky mess.

I've had my ATA armor for 5 years now and still going strong, one of the thickest armor out there and needed a dremel to trim it, scissors just would cut it. I don't think you will have any troubles with it.

I went with torso too, really doesn't matter what you start with, it all needs doing

Also have a look with coverstrips attached, I had to go a little bigger on the forearms because I wanted accurate coverstrip sizing so I just added some foam on the inside of the forearms so they don't wobble about

With the bleed through issue if you paint white first it should fill any gaps and stop the blue bleeding Keep up the good work.

Coming along nicely

I find compression top and pants work well, you don't get bunching around elbows and knees, also keeps you cool as well as the two piece allows easy access for toilet breaks in armor

Congratulations trooper
