Looking good Ryan 1A. Requirement no, highly recommended yes. 4A. Some overlap on the right side is acceptable. Yes the TD should cover most (not all Velcro exposed), again not a requirement. TD length is 7 1/4"-7 1/2". 5A. Poppers are technically snaps but the designed differently than what you see most of around these parts. Poppers are not required, I only used them because it's screen accurate. What you use has no bearing on approvals. Keep up the great work

That's about right

That's what were here for

Alright Dan congratulations, welcome to EI!

No worries, looks like Dan helped you on your build thread also

Roughly 25mm for the calf closure, 20mm everywhere else on the legs. That said nobody is going to make you drag out a ruler if you're a mm or two off. Uniformity is key

If additional photos of R1 screen troopers with alternative materials being used were brought forth then most likely a change in the CRL could happen.

Hey Matthew, welcome to the FISD. Looks like the crew has already given you some advice. Let us know if you need anything.

Hey Dave great question. Here's a photo of armor used in the movie, note how the strip is trimmed. Hope this helps

Hey Justin the posterior was updated later in the build thread to reflect the correct positioning of the posterior snaps. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Anytime

Hey Thomas welcome to the FISD. Here's a nice ATA build thread for you to check out. Basically starting on page 4 but there's useful information on the previous page also. If you have further questions please let us know. I have an ATA also so don't hesitate to message me directly if you wish.

Unless the armor is banned from the 501st and even then it won't prevent people from buying it. Sadly most armor is not purchased from the recommendations of the FISD.

Elbow side minimal return edge. Wrist side absolutely no return edge. Keep up the good work

Looking great

Excellent job Pam, congratulations. Welcome to Centurion

Looking good Dan. Good luck with your application

No worries Michael, if that's what you want to use have at it

No there's no requirement of what type connections that are used, though Velcro is not a very reliable solution. That said this is your armor if you want to use Velcro you most certainty can.

Ok for basic if painted white. For L2 and L3 you'll need a more accurate boot

Wow awesome job Peter

Fantastic job on your build Pam, good luck
