Hello everyone!
My name is J.T. and ive been a member of the 501st since 11-2015.
My other 501st approved costume is an Animated phase I clone trooper Denal.
i was actually approved by my GML a little over 2 weeks ago, but with Florida going through a GML change 2 weeks before that, he didnt have the permissions to add the TK to my 501st profile. Its all good now.
i have trooped in my TK 3 times since approval and i think i have ironed out all the little adjustments, although its never perfect, right
the first photo was first fitment. only adjustment i had made was dropping the thighs down so there wasn't a huge gap between them and the shin
I hadn't separated the kidney or removed the side elastic strap from the chest to back. or done any of the centurion upgrades.
I bought my AP armor second hand from a person that trooped it once.
he was a little shorter than me, so adjustments had to be made for it to be approvable on me.
for one he hadn't separated the but from the kidney.
i also went through some changes to make the armor expert infantry and possibly centurion approved.
i switched the helmet neck ring out for the s trim.
i switched the gloves and hand plate out for the chem gloves and latex hand plates. i'm debating painting the hand plates because they are a little off in color compared to the armor
my biggest problem is going to be the butt seams. it was assembled with the overlapping joints and i dont know if i can even redo that without destroying something.
i am researching.
i am going to be taking pictures in the next few days and applying for expert infantry.
thank you all for allowing me to join you in the detachment.
