  1. Hi, the cuts at the rear of your thighs are absolutely no problem. They are definitely screen accurate. :) All the other points are no problem as well if you perform them as marked. If you cut the forearms make sure the outer side is not coming too high. Most troopers cut the lower side instead. For Centurion the return edges have to be removed anyway and the number of squares is not defined. <br>

    Cheers <br>

  2. I saw an AP helmet lately with a two piece cap.

    Here a comparison between the 4 different helmets:

    I was looking after the ears which are closer to the AP helmets and the edges under the eyes too.

    The grey part over the brow trim is closer to the RT-Mod.

    Perhaps the ears of the RT helmet are trimmed more then the others. Then the RT is the right helmet.

  3. Hello Johann, welcome to the FISD. The decision to build a Stormtrooper is absolutely right. ;):):trooper::)

    In the "Getting Started" Section you will find this thread:" http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12693-which-armour-is-better-for-a-bigger-trooper-read-here/ " This might help you to find an armor that will fit you well.

     

    I've seen we have several different kinds of Stormtrooper helmets, do you see which kind mine is from the picture? I do have more pics of it ;)

    I tend to say you have a MTK helmet. But to be 100% sure some additional pics would help a lot.

     

    All the best!

  4. Hello Pawel,<br>

    Your armor is looking good but there is one thing that must be done: Your Blaster has no D-Ring and you need one for EIB. <br><br>

    Besides I have some other suggestions just to improve the overall look. 1st: I would lower the things a little bit to even the black gaps of your legs. The next thing are your shoulder Bells. They are a little far away from your shoulder bridges. Perhaps you can shorten the elastic to the shoulder bridges or the elastic around the biceps. <br><br>

    All the best!<br>

  5. That's a good method mate. But, I don't get why anyone would need / want both sides to be functional.

    I think I caused some misunderstanding. Sorry my bad. It seems I phrased my answer the wrong way.

     

    When I said I installed both parts of the snaps inside the armor I meant these parts:

     

    92769C58-9B07-4124-A361-B31C070ED624_zps

     

    And I installed them like this:

    The material that you hammer down when you install the snap the way it is ment to, is helping to hold the snap in place when you bend down the ends of the split rivet.

     

    I hope you understand what I mean... at this moment it feels like I'm reaching the limits of my english skills. :o

  6. I'm having a bit of a mare with the kidney and ab brass rivets. I can't seem to get the poppers to connect because of the rivets sticking up over the poppers. I've tried to adjust 2 and they've snapped. How do I get around this??

     

    Hi Chapaaz,

     

    I think your split rivets are still too long. I think if you cut them some more befor you install them it would be easier to close them inside the snaps.

    Check Post #34 of my build to see how much I shortened the split rivets. Because it is hard to see: I installed both parts of the Snap inside the Armor. This gave me more material inside the snap to hold the split rivet.

     

    Best regards

    Christian
