Also keep in mind that there's often texture compression in the game. What might be visible on an XBox vs a PC at "maximum" graphics could be very different.

Ouch

On the flip side, you could also sand the ends of your shins a little if they're cutting into the boots. I was getting a nasty scuff mark in one of mine before I did that.

What brand snaps are you using? Those cheapo ones at Walmart never held nicely for me. The Tandy ones I've yet to have one come undone when I didn't want it to... in fact sometimes I have to work to actually get them apart.

I use canvas to strap thighs to my garter belt. I like to pull them really tight personally and the nylon doesn't wear out as bad as the elastic would. You could try cutting an extra piece of ABS to "sandwich" the nylon with E6000 if bonding is an issue. Also lightly sanding the area it'll be glued to rough it up might help it bond better. Like @gmrhodes13 said, think long term if you can... I've had to completely restrap mine once already in 3 years, and probably coming up on a second one soon.

Looking good!

PM your old or (to be) new Garrison Commanding Officer. Let them know you moved and what territory you'll be in, and ask they transfer. The rest is up to them!

Absolutely heartbreaking. Peter was a truly marvelous guy and has touched the lives of so many who have met him. I found his own words on Carrie Fisher's passing particularly meaningful

Don't forget your 501st unit transfer Priorities man!

Love it! They did a 501st plate holder run a few years back with customized TK-IDs, hoping a new run pops up eventually because mine broke finally

Almost done with this thing

Amazing work! I love the last panel of this one especially.

Welcome to FISD

Congrats!

I nabbed mine from Darman

Good luck for a speedy Big Brown Box day!

Hey Eric, I know the frustration of a seemingly moving CRL target. The current CRL does have a few items changing, but do keep in mind there's precedent for grand fathering in builds started prior to CRL updates. If you have extra concerns or questions we're always happy to help guide

The real question if you're allowed to talk about it... Did they make you hold your blasters left handed?

Female stormtroopers official canon thanks to 501st?

With the helmet on sale currently at Celebration, I wonder if someone can get some pictures of the end of the trim (or maybe the buyer will be nice enough to show us :D)

Hot damn that's a great looking ESB stormtrooper! Good job and good luck with your submission!

Hey Peter! You should check out the local garrison for Albany area, which I believe is Garrison Excelsior. They can give you information on how to get your costume approved once you're done constructing it/receiving it, and help guide you towards events

One idea to help that butt plate flare could be to adjust the angle of your belt. That's how I keep mine in anyways, by putting the belt over that seam. It's body type dependent though so check if it's practical for you before making any cutting adjustments. Alternatively putting a snap elastic between the kidney and the very very end of that butt plate on each side with a tight spacing should pull them together well.

Good luck!

Looks great Alicia! One thing I noticed I didn't see mentioned... on your left thigh, at the very bottom, there's a bit of gap between the plates I had the same problem when I built mine. The fix is super simple though; just glue a piece of white scrap ABS on the inside and you're good You look great for basic approval I think. Best of luck!
