Good luck troopers

Lol positive reviews Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

that's a pretty good idea for the belt, will be interested to see how it performs in the field. Have debated adding a similar mod to jim kit because I don't like the way my belt sits

sorry to hear about your luck on this armor. Shame wayne turned into the person he turned into

And you can mock it up with painters tape, as a rule of thumb in future try to go to 1/2in than work from there

Don't sweat under the armpit wont show much, I did one for trooper and almost had to get it flat under the armpit because of this size. I don't believe the CRL is that specific on amount of return edge. But in general it should fit and look right. Take some pics with it on along the chest and arm parts and see how it looks

FYI this should be updated in the CRL soon. Came up when I was working with a trooper, we ended up having to fill the seams because the staff was new and mistook flush to mean no gaps. I would get as close as you can, and you can fill if you want but it's not needed. I have ref pics of the movie suits that have visable gaps if you need to argue your point later down the road. But if you haven't painted yet might as well just fill it in. I better not go to further, I was quite "passionate" about this section of CRL on my last FOTK I built

Tops of biceps and thighs are very common sizing areas. I'm short so ended up griding away at both the top and bottom of my thighs its good chance to see if you want to do the finn mods or just make sure you reshape the thigh to look more accurate. Make sure you double check ref pics and draw out your lines and recheck before making any cuts.

And you can trim the chest more as well, looks like you still have a ways to go, maybe another 1/4in or so just go slow and keep checking it

In back you can get away with a bit more. I've found 1/2 in of return for the yoke works fine. I've heard of being removing more than that on the back but it's a question of form and moving verus how you want it to look. I would say that red line looks like a good cut line. Still leaves some return for that look, but you should able to move more

I thought one on right was from an auction of a screen used bucket Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Found out it was the indent that was different cant say I ever noticed Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

What was the greb the everyone missed on the bucket? I'll prob never update mine but just curious now I'm wonder also on the yoke/back connection if you can do like we are doing on the new style KB kits and make it so the yoke sits flush with the back and use Velcro or magnets to hold it down. It's certainly a different way of doing things but it does seem to work well and not needing to bondo and paint is a life saver

That's 100% fan art

Note all kits going out are tlj I confirmed they re did molds this is mach 3 armor tfa was mach 2 Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I use bungie cord and a piece of strapping for my boxes. More flexible that way Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I do worry about the wording "little" gap little is broad term; would it be too extreme to say no more than whatever measurement of gap or is the an L3 requirement

That makes sense to me; sorry for late arrival busy crazy week at work

Thanks I'll have to do that later. On my phone now and it takes me to the browser Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I sent a PM to my gml and co of in progress kit so I guess I'll wait for them to deny it than press forward Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Staff member meaning who? My leadership? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I'm not abs pasting my mimic kit lol That thing is fully finished. So how does one get lmo approval on that? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

The issue was a trooper i was helping red box pic. The two pics in yellow are screen suits. And the last pic is my mimic kit which also has gaps I suppose I'm freaking out a bit because if we are gonna be this nit picky. I'm doomed on my mimic kit and I wait for years to the "most screen accurate" fotk. And new gml wont budge on the "needs to be flush" when the screen suits would also fail 501st Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

I guess the CRL is under review, but after being told that should have been acceptable by others and my bad from new staff members on an issue with troopers ab boxes I think it's time for all of us as a community to work to make a better CRL. The CRL should not be decided by people that don't even have an FOTK done, it should be a community driven tool that is accurate. I was told lots of things were assumed just to get approvals knocked out. But we now have a wealth of resources from all the movies so far. So let's discuss and remain civil, this is mostly a reminder to myself because I'm still mad that even after showing supporting evidence my leadership said there was "nothing they could do until the CRL was changed"

It's a healthy debate I know a few people doing a live action version and I may as well so why my voice is being spoken up on this Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
