Good to see someone has taken up the mantel for AM armour and based on what I have read in the above comments, the right person for the job too.

Great work Graeme, just a few tweaks and he is golden.

Another one....sorry to hear this.

Progressing fast, the finished product will look amazing.

Looks like BSP have attempted to emulate the indentation on the front of the hand plates, its a step in the right direction. Good progress Aidan, keep it up.

Wow, got to love the SLA print finish.

Congratulations and welcome to Centurion rank.

That’s good news for those states, interesting to see if others are covered in the future. The compensation will certainly also be an interesting part of this long drawn out story. Good luck to all those still seeking satisfaction, and thank you for the update. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with everything you have all said. I watched the trailer, I felt emotions, and I am so excited and saddened it will be the last of the Skywalker series.

Although it is hard to tell from this image as it does not enlarge well, The helmet looks off, almost too symmetrical and long in the face. FX helmets were grandfathered due to their inaccuracy vs what is now available. Because there are so many good manufacturers around these days, you would totally stand out in a line up so I think the helmet is the first component that would hold you up from getting 501st approval. As to the rest of the parts, until something is printed out and can be seen in 3 dimensions rather than a poor render image that pixelates when enlarged, no further true assessment can be made. With this type of costume, certain parts of the armour need a degree of flex, the shin enclosures are the perfect example of that and I highly doubt reinforced ABS or PLA will take the punishment that 1.5 to 2mm pulled ABS can in the flex department. Remember if you intend to troop in it, you need something that is reasonably comfortable, allows the degree of motion required to actually move around and walk, plus you don't want it too heavy or difficult to pack and transport and it must be durable enough to deal with the rigors of trooping, so you see there are many factors that need to be considered.

I have seen an Anovos premier line helmet with some cracks, it was a while ago and I cant recall the overall severity, but I'll PM the member and see If he still has the photos to post up. He did end up repairing it and getting an Automotive spray job which I believe was rather expensive, but yes you have options.

I must say there does seem to be an awesome array of weaponry coming in this movie, I'm definitely excited.

Hi Chris, you look fantastic, welcome aboard.

Congratulations Isaac

Welcome aboard Alex

Eagerly awaiting your BBB day, some exciting times ahead.

Holy guacamole!!!! 16 kits, very very impressed and the pulls look good as well. This is going to amount to one huge pile of ABS off cuts when your finished trimming lol, ABS paste anyone?? All jokes aside, very much looking forward to the build threads that will follow suit.

Politely put, there are several far better options to choose from [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like his helmet is about to fall off lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perhaps as a back up plan, reach out to Teresa here on the boards Geekypinks. She makes gaskets for all FO TK’s https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/search/?q=Geeky Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3 troops in a week, awesome!! Armour bite yep it’s a learning curve knowing just how far you can push your range of motion before you get the pinch lol. Make sure any sharp edges are sanded smooth and minor trim the areas that cause the most trouble. Good luck and here’s to many many more troops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice work overall, the guys have mentioned a few little tweaks and I agree, everything else looks good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
