  1. looking good
  2. Just having some fun
  3. But....it doesn`t look as good so I would avoid that unless absolutely necessary
  4. Center the cover strip over the seem and you are good to go And so there`s no confusion, the cover strip ends above the raised edges (see RS suit for reference) so the gaps at the bottom thighs will still be visible and my advice is to glue some scrap abs on the inside and abs-paste from the outside and sand it smooth in order to make your suit look its best
  5. No, if you need a bigger than the Canon width of 20 that`s ok - for all levels of approval....I would however try and avoid going bigger than 25 though. Here`s how I did: I trimmed the rough edges of the thighs and using tape overlaped the front so the raised edges were 20mm, then butted up the the back (also rough trimmed, only removing the flashing) and taped that up, sliding the thighs on (with undersuit), checked the fit and needed to go bigger so ended up with a 22mm coverstrip (front and back, I wanted the strips to match), also trimed as much that I could from the upper return edge, more from the inner part than the outer to maintain the illusion of thickness. I maxed out on my thighs so the back has a gap at the top so to strenghten the joint I used a small inner strip at the top. The Anovos suit has pre-cut (at least my shadow did) strips so that makes things more challenging, idealy the strip hides the raised edge but there`s room to "cheat" a little meaning it`s fine even though if a few mm is showing - keep going Fredrik, you`ll get there in the end RS suit for reference
  6. I am an Imperial Stormtrooper and I would not hesitate to sacrifice myself in order to save my brother (play Imperial march for effect)
  7. Tell her there can`t be victory without sacrifice (not sure that would help though)
  8. Congratulations and welcome to the Legion Trooper
  9. It looks good and like Tony said you don`t really need to fix anything unless it bugs you, and...as you say it will pain you to alter the canon strapping I say leave it as it is, you have the mobility needed and as I said earlier, you can alwas change it at a later date after some "test-runs"
  10. WOO! Happy second BBB-day
  11. Send them pics in Trooper
  12. Mobility and TK-armor doesn’t go well together so by the sounds if it you got it as good as it gets...you could always trim some more at the neck for more comfort but as you say standing strait is fine I would leave it for now, can always come back and trim more after a troop or two....walking and putting on/removing the helmet on your own is a good reference point to have
  13. Happy B-day
  14. Imperial warfighters (FB) has a great rubber blaster for Centurion level and at a great price
  15. It’s all coming together
  16. Would it be possible to include a half/half helmet? And I´m in favor of option B:slightly round - overall good work
  17. Wait wait...."nice" doesn`t cut it! They are awesome!
  18. Happy BBB-day Doing a Sandtrooper I´m sure the guys over at MEPD would be thrilled to have you post a build there as well, you are most welcome here though
