As long as it is not seen from the outside there should be no issues. I wear a back brace with most of my costumes, it's something I can not do without these days. I also added elastic to hold up the thighs (on some costumes)

Looking forward to seeing your progress One of us, one of us

Good morning, You have 501st access but only those with an approved Stormtrooper can access TK only detachment merchandise Bonjour, Vous avez le 501ème accès, mais seuls ceux qui possèdent un Stormtrooper approuvé peuvent accéder uniquement aux merchandises du détachement TK.

Off to a good start, we'll after the bungle that is

Screen suit reference and placement

Chests definitely twists and can rip. Good example of the thighs and chest bending

If not you can still use a washer and don't use the ABS strip, it's only added support, which again is overkill for some.

You can get different rivet post lengths, I don't worry about a washer as the ABS does that job. I do however once finished I apply some silicon on the exposed rivet split post just so they don't catch on my undersuit or me, might be overkill to some but works for me.

That would be a question for your GML as he/she/they/them look after base legion approval, for higher levels the @Deployment Officer Team may chime in, but it would be hard to comment on something that they can't see, a test piece may be a good option to move forward. I guess it all comes down to the finish and how much work would go into making these pieces. Problem I find with painting anything that may have some flex is cracking of the paint, I also wonder how it would look if damaged, scratched or chipped. Love to see a test piece.

Approval times can vary depending on your GML but also the legion staff as they finish up the paperwork, hopefully you will hear some good news soon

Measurements are just a guide as with some many different makers these days there is no one measurement that fits all. For higher level approval: The top of the ABS belt shall sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels. A slight overlap is suggested, but not required. Note the belt can angle upwards on the sides when worn, this is due to the curve in the back plate, makes the belt ride upwards which can affect the height of the front of the belt, so check positioning once worn. Also align your drop boxes with the ends of the plastic belt, not the corners as some do: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Holser placement here

I would not attempt heating armor without a lot of practice on other plastic, you can go from pliable to molten mess in the blink of an eye, you should be fine with approval, your belt will help to hold in and also cover some of the area. Like your picture but glue between the elastic and ABS strip, try to use a soldering iron to make the holes in the elastic as it leaves a nice edge around the post and prevents pulling, OR if no soldering iron heat a screwdriver or similar tool on the stove, it will pay in the long run. Also if you make the distance between the holes 5mm shorter than is needed it will give a bit of tension once worm.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Why didn’t any of Luke Skywalker’s marriages last? He always followed Obi-Wan’s advice: “Use divorce, Luke.” https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a34577665/best-star-wars-jokes/

It's just the armor you wont get rid of that bend withought heating and that takes practice. I add elastic and ABS strips behind my rivets, strips keep the elastic flat, add a little glue to around the post before opening rivets. Double over the elastic also for a tighter fit I used snaps on one set of armor, it was more for packing and flying, worked ok but can come loose when opening closing.

You will once your profile is updated, when A.C. is back online

Next step reach out to your GML (garrison membership liaison) as they look after base costume approval. Once your TK is approved you can request higher TK access to our forum so you can access any merchandise runs

Welcome aboard Randy, good to hear you are doing your research, yes it can be overwhelming at first. If you can get to see members from your local garrison it can be a big help, getting hands on help or just a conversation can get you moving along. Looking forward to seeing a build from you soon. This thread may also be of help

That's your legion forum profile, not the membership profile, have a read of the first post in this thread for instructions

You can trim this piece straight down, grey line. Red is where you add the step ATA is like that, different sides/gaps, here's mine L3 approved, note the material between ear and brow trim

Hello and welcome aboard, we do have a trading post where you may be able to swap patches with other members

You may want to take a little more material of the tops of your sniper plate, For a more screen accurate look, it is suggested that the top of the rear ridge of the sniper plate be aligned with the top ridge of the calf. Also note that the sides are angled rather than curved. References: You could also trim a little more of your ab button plates

Looking good trooper, before the DO's start your review you may want to remove a little of the pain on the gums: For Basic approval and above, Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Eight total teeth on the frown are cut out. You will need to remove a bit more material from the front of your forearms, comparison

Very nice, looking forward to seeing the progress
