3D files are available for the correct clips to make the DN helmet more accurate. I personally haven't had my hands on a DN, X Anovos TLJ helmet, to see how they are attached, but we certainly have members here that have and also replaced them with said printed clips. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/52039-mrpoopietherascalkings-tfa-tlj-first-order-stormtrooper-greeblie-pack/

Welcome again Vic, generally I recommend going with the costume that means the most to you. Your throwback photos tell me you are in the right places for sure, now it's a matter of your first love of a costume. With the humble original trilogy Stormtrooper, you do have a few choices. ANH-Stunt, ANH-Hero version, then ESB, which is an ANH stunt with a few small differences, then RotJ which has even more differences. Nair mentioned the R1 Stormtrooper, a slightly modernised version which has extra details, sharper lines, but is more limited in availability with 2 main makers currently available. Which ever way you go, you will have a far more accurate Stormtrooper than the old FX kit. Looking forward to seeing which way you go and watching you progress on a new build.

Hi Jeff, welcome to FISD. As you are fast realising, there are plenty of members here more than happy to answer all your questions. Do ask as many as you need, advice will continue to come. I hope you enjoy your new journey to becoming a Stormtrooper. -
The top of the thighs, if you check movie references, had all the return edge removed, but many do leave some to give the armour the appearance of thickness. If you can get away with leaving some, generally 4 or 5 mm is enough, but you can remove it all, At the top of the Greaves you do want to leave the return edge, this area should be thicker, so I'd leave at least 10 mm. The bottom of the Greaves don't require any, and you will find it more comfortable to remove it all and less damaging to your boots.

This is of tremendous help so far Francois. I'll start to add text into the first post but we can continue to look at and discuss references to bring this up to where it needs to be so we can present it to the LMO team in the near future. Glen has a good point with the reference images , they certainly are our guide to written text and description. Keep up the stellar work on this.

Hard, soft, and cloth components in an FISD costume! Sounds pretty standard when you consider what we have in our stable, but Gauntlets, jumpsuit and jetpack all together for the first time in our detachments' history, not to forget new blasters, need I go on! Pretty darn cool. We also need to consider the variants with the red sections of helmets, red gauntlets and the blasters etc. This CRL will also require a gallery for more detailed sections, like Enoch does.
