Welcome to the Legion.

You can do whatever you want for strapping, since approvals only concern the outer appearance of the armor. That said, Velcro isn't ideal as unless you get the industrial strength it tends to seperate from the armor, as well as making it harder to dial in your fitment every time you kit up. With snaps you figure it all out once, and unless you gain/lose weight you're good to go every single time. Rivets are only required for the higher approval levels and even then do not have to be functional.

Forearms look a little low, you could probably adjust the strapping so those sit higher and even out the gaps between pieces.

Congratulations! Don't forget to request a status upgrade here, you're missing out on the rest of the forums:

Last delay, I'll believe that when I see it.

Not an issue, I own one and was approved for Centurion just fine.

WTF is brighter, RS is more off-white, so it’s up to you.

Welcome Jeff, lots of good advice already. Look forward to your build.

Congrats, we were all newbies at one point!

Very cool.

I have completely checked out. When I get a shipping email I'll allow myself to get excited, until then not worth getting my hopes dashed.

Welcome to the Legion. Congrats!

Looks like a conehead. Creepy.

Can’t wait to see the actual build commence. Feeling more confident after using the Black Series helmet as practice?

Just make sure to use acetone or something to take the sheen off the boots first if you don’t want them to peel.

Yes, very limited options for FOTK armor unfortunately. I hope that changes sooner rather than later.

I meant an accurate (metal) rail, but yeah, I suppose I could... though I'd probably mangle the blaster.

I have a PB E-11 and have been very happy with the quality. I agree about the scope rail - their R1 E-11 has a hollow, real metal scope rail which I'm very jealous of. If they bring that over to the ANH I would be very tempted to upgrade.

Honestly I don't think that will make a difference. Until someone gets a shipping email none of this means anything.

Hopefully reinstalling solves your problem. Sadly with Microsoft pushing Edge and depreciating IE if it is a browser issue unlikely to be fixed. Good luck.

Welcome and congrats on your BBB day! Plenty of good advice so far, I encourage you to start a build thread with photos and we can help you even more.

I would worry the ink might interact with the gray paint. A black paint pen maybe? Never tried either though personally.

Congratulations trooper.

Welcome aboard Garrett.

Eh, I don't mind it. I didn't like the animated Clonetroopers or Rebels TKs at first, but they grew on me.
