There is definitely 2 straps lower on TLJ cape. Like TFA. I’m not certain where you got the info that there is only one.
.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe crl pic of the cape is a bit confusing though since it only shows one strap on the red edge and one near the pockets.
I feel a bit uncertain about the material of the strap. In the crl picture it looks just like the fabric of the cape (glossy black). Is it really leather/pleather?

Any one of Greg’s designs would look awesome.

I am 190 cm (so 6’3”) and have a Troopermaster kit with the XL shins.
I have no gap in the back as you can see in my Centurion thread.

I do have the cod pulled up as far as I can though and I straightened the top of the back slightly in hot water to allow it to slide down a bit further and still sit tight.

I’d be happy with any of these on a patch. Great work all of you.

My ANH I can put everything on myself. If I have everything laid out and some parts connected I can probably suit up in 5-10 minutes.
My FO I can do about 95% myself. With both it is a lot easier and faster to have help. Handlers/squires/supporters or whatever you call them in your area are awesome. I also like having some rebels or jedi around since they can also help out.

I see myself there in the background of the video.
Do you have any pics of both of us with Kylo?
Got a lot of patches and stuff for trade when I visited the awesome people in UAE outpost so I am just spreading it to other troopers.

Not to worry, the best is yet to come - and thanks, hoping to have this approved and ready for a convention-troop come mid november
By mid november I guess you mean Scifi Stockholm? Will be great to see you there. Maybe I need to bring my KB as well.

Hear, hear. I have always gotten the nice merch I have ordered. Getting that envelope with the trooper on brightens any day.

Just noticed that it says ANH stunt and Rebels on my EIB cohorts. Should be ANH stunt and TFA TK. Can anyone with magic forum powers change it?

Thank you Tony. I really appreciate the time you and Andrew put into judging these. I have learned a lot by looking at other people’s eib and centurion threads.
When I came home today the family had made me a stormtrooper mud cake to celebrate.

Here are some extra pics of the bells. Both bells have the same shape but sort of mirrored.
Left bell on the left
Left one is the bottom one

Here’s my Centurion submission. Hope that is all the pictures. Looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you Tony. I will adjust and then get new photos for Centurion.
Before I go ahead I just want to check so I understand. It is the bell and bicep on the right that should go down a bit? You have circled the elbow area as well. Should that be adjusted too or is it just a consequence of the right bicep and bell being a bit too high?
Fixing the ab button should be easy enough and I can tighten the elastic on the back-kidney a bit.

So, I have made som changes and submitted to my GML. Dropped biceps and fore arms a little to get a more reasonable distance from the hand guard. Tigthened the elastic between back and kidney. Reduced the thickness of the drop boxes and adjusted the position of the hip.
Thanks for the help.

Looks like the left shoulder bell has a big dent in it in back photo?
Must be a weird shadow and reflection. Both bells look about the same and have no damage.

Thanks. Will drop bicep and forearm a bit. I do have rather long arms. The thighs are easily adjustable with the garter.
I will measure the drop boxes but they are probably more than 15 mm. Good thing I used E6000.
Dave, credit for the helmet goes to TM. I had him build it since I didn’t feel confident doing that myself. The rest is me though (good and bad).

Feedback appreciated especially on positioning of thighs, up or down?
Forearms and biceps. Increase distance between them? Drop both?
Shoulder bells feel like they are about as close as I can get them with the width of my shoulders.
Is the small gap between back and kidney ok?
Goal is to go for higher levels of approval in the end.

An airbrush helps when painting figures in this scale. But when painting shadows and highlights it helps to be aware of color theory and not to be afraid to mix in other colors.
White is one of the most difficult colors to paint in my opinion. Lil Nairy is a fun challenge.
