I got some 3mm smoke acrylic perspex from ebay.

Looking great - love the weathering! It'll look amazing kitted-up with the DLT-19!

I think he's teasing us How are things progressing, bud?

New boots, as the existing ones were a size too small and ankles a bit low:

This is great - kids will love the look!

Looking forward to seeing everything kitted-up

Awesome

Well there you go, I'm glad I put the original quoted text in Were all the ROTJ costumes like that, or various methods of fixing?

Forgive my ignorance in the building of armour But, is he not better glueing the straps, rather than riveting, as the CRL doesn't allow rivets for anything higher than level 2? "Shoulder Straps For 501st approval: Shoulder Straps are securely mounted in front and may free float in back. They may be affixed with rivets, Velcro, or adhesive. For level two certification (if applicable): No visible rivets are allowed. Shoulder straps do not have a flat surface at the ends. Straps are ribbed 100%. For level three certification (if applicable): These are affixed in the front (no snaps, rivets or brads are visible). These are affixed in the back (no snaps, rivets or brads are visible)."

No, Doesn't seem to be much chance of Hyperfirms in the UK. I'm getting a custom build from a chap in England.

Yeah, do it! DLT-19 on order

Lol, cheers, Mike

Did you have to shim yours? I'd appreciate a couple of pics if you did?

Me too... Don't tell my ANH TK, but I think I prefer the shock trooper... Shhh!

ANH is much nicer IMO. The rear greeblies and horrid 'U' tracks on the ROTJ are a bit ugly

Oops, forgot the 8 buttons should be black

What would be the neatest way to shim overlap-constructed shins, please, folks?

How's this coming along? We need pics

Cheers bud, i'm really pleased with how it turned out

Ok here goes, got kitted-up today.

It does make for a more accurate looking outfit from the start, though

Not strictly, no. Different regions have different views on basic approval.

That entirely depends on your position on the globe.

That'd be a much neater option

Rivets are easy enough to drill-out. You can glue a small piece of ABS behind the holes and fill / sand smooth.
