A lot of my garrison mates really like Brett Fullord's E-11. You can see a listing on etsy here: ------------

I think your ears could use a little bit more taken off in terms of their overall thickness. The reference photos posted by Mario can be used to compare. It's possible some of it is phone camera distortion, but I am thinking you could remove a few mms of thickness under the main ear section.

Very cool! Welcome!

If I understand your question correctly, yes, just line up the butt plate so that it's centered with the kidney. Same with the cod (that's what the shorties do when they have to make this part smaller). Once those are connected, you'll be able to see how long the cod to butt plate strap needs to be.

@TK 71627 it’s an RT-Mod/Panda kit! Hey Christian, Derek told me his an and cod were indeed joined so the split is a new mod that Terry has made. D’s helmet was also a three-piece and yours is a two piece so again a mod. Fortunately your helmet’s near done so no worries there. Just thought I’d share that info!

Joseph, thank you for everything that you do!

Congrats, Brien!

Not sure how I feel about this TK variant. I kind of like it in some of the figures and kind of don't. I think it's a question of the white and black areas balancing out well. It will be interesting to see what it looks like on screen!

Cardinal has not been approved in the Legion, supposedly due to a lack of reference for the boots. Pyre is an animated-style FOTK. Haven't seen anyone making the kit, though I recall someone modding their regular FOTK to animated style, but haven't seen the results, personally.

Congrats Dave! Looking forward to seeing it in person!

Welcome! I'd suggest taking a look in the TFA and TLJ TK sections for strapping ideas. Teresa at Geeky Pink can also supply you with neck seal and a harness (should you choose to use one) and is super helpful with any questions you have as she's a Phasma as well! Chroming appears to be the biggest challenge for most for this costume. I had read some stories that look like nightmares so I would suggest just researching this thoroughly! Are you getting the fingers from KB as well? Wasn't sure if they make those. You may also want to look into getting yourself a blaster. Looking forward to your progress!

Good luck Dave! Looking pretty good to me!

Ah right, right. Yeah, I hear those aren't the best.

Not sure what the S snaps look like - I've only used the ones used in Joseph's tutorial. Some have used Velcro for the belt (I believe that's what Anovos's instructions say to do) but it's probably not the best long-term solution.

Congrats Dave!

Think you're an easy pass for basic! Fingers crossed for you!

Looking good, Dave! Think you should be fine for basic approval!

What Glen said! Tapes and magnets galore! I have ATA as well and quite like compared to others that I've worked on. You're well on your way and you'll get there in no time!

I would suggest that your cod should be worn as high as is comfortable as you'll need the space to accommodate the thighs when you're wearing them. Seems like more ab showing than most right now. Don't forget to take care of that logo on your undersuit top and also trim off that excess flashing on the sides of the shoulder bridges.

RE: forearm cover strip - it's pretty much personal preference. I like to trim with the shape of the pieces. Some keep them pretty square.

Great progress!

Hi Dave, yes, you'll need to remove all return edge including in the bump area of the forearm. Take a look at some approved Centurion applications to see some better photos. You shouldn't feel any rolling from return edge when you pass your fingers over the edge, so I'd say you need to shave off a little more.

Using straps with snaps ensures you're always wearing your armour the same and should allow for a more consistent look as with velcro, you're always placing it just slightly differently. Just my opinion as to the pros. Velcro will wear out as well and I find snaps are stronger than velcro. Obviously what you mentioned will still work, but ultimately I think snaps are the best way to go. Your list looks good from what I can tell! The only thing I'm unclear on is needing four rivets for the drop boxes? I just looped the elastic over the canvas belt and riveted both the the back of the box.

Dave, just a quick note to mention that every armour maker's white is a little bit different. Probably won't be very noticeable for the thigh ammo pack, but the ears may be as it's a focal point of the costume.

Hi Dave, I can at least provide some clarifications for the sniper plate - you should glue it with E6000 after removing the screws. Once the plate is glued one, you would only use ABS paste to fill the holes. Sand, polish, and that should be it. Regarding the thigh ammo pack, I would have to do some digging around here to see what others have done with SDS. I unfortunately don't have the time at the moment, but I'll try and find you some info shortly. Thanks!
