Oh no! That one is mine

Yes It gives a much meaner look, especially from the sides

You can use foam padding on the inside to "bulk up" and or use the "tab-and-slot-method" to prevent overlap (that`s black flexible ABS) Check this thread for more info:

No but I´m starting a chant: RAIS THE BROW! RAISE THE BROW!! RAISE THE BROW!!! RAI....hmm I think I have made my point - carry on Trooper It shouldn´t, you can paint any, several or no bump for basic and EIB for Centurion only one bump (says nothing though that it HAVE to be a painted bump. I left mine unpainted so we`ll see shortly, no mention of it during my EIB)

Then I suggest you start a for-sales thread and I call dibs on the first one

Centurion nr 6 - amazing (I know not yet approved but it will be)

Well...what can one say but amazing work

That looks great

A little tension is good so how much force does it take to close?

Brien got you covered I have nothing to add - good job and good luck

Whaaaaaat?! ()

Yeah I meant the magnetic closure has a really clean look about it And I was quite surprised as well but didn’t feel I wanted to order new ones so ”gave up” and as you say about them closing with a ”click” I wanted that too, when I saw it on your RS build I was just amazed of how good it looked and how well it worked have no problem with the hook and elastic so happy anyways

Great work as always really wanted to use this method on my TX build but somehow the magnets shattered when installed (bad magnets I suppose) and I swapped to hook and elastic closure and on my TK builds I wanted to use the screen accurate way...but it looks really good, a nice and clean closure

Looks great and now that you can blow stuff up it’s time to start on your protection - the armor ps might just want to loosen the clips up a bit, makes it easier to put on.

Return edge faces front as you say but try and cover all of the edge if possible and I don’t get the 4cm on each side? (Maybe I’m stupid) if your cover strip is let’s say the Canon width of 15 then you cut 7,5mm on each side of the return. Or 8 and use a 16mm coverstrip and so on but try and avoid bigger than 20 on front of arms, unless you have to than that’s fine to

Well...if you feel that is about to happen just put the armor on and give her a ”hey baby...how you doin?” While looking her up and down aka the joey-move

Woop woop! Congratulations Sean

Yeey another Hero - congratulations

Pehaps it shrinks when washing? Try that first, and if it`s still big I would recommend finding another that is tighter on you and it`s hard to say really, as long as it`s black, shows no logos and is tight anything goes. A lot of Troopers recommend a two-piece, I have a one-piece and very happy with that. Any compression suit would work. The undersuit I have I bought on ebay - just search for stormtrooper undersuit

That looks good as far as I can see I have a question though - is that your undersuit/shirt? I´m asking because it looks big and wrinkles and that will prevent the armor from sliding on your body thus making you have less mobility. The undersuit idealy is as skin-thight as possible. If not your undersuit than I recommend sizing the armor with it on

Congratulations Trooper

Some calf raises will fix that Kidding aside it`s looking great Greg And I hate to do this to you but....wrist ends look a bit big...sorry (they didn`t before so it might just be me, still look good though)

Here`s to becoming the finest Trooper of them all - an Imperial Stormtrooper TM is a great choice, good luck on your build oh...and welcome princess

Haha thank you very much Dan - I really appreciate it

My advise is to try and comform the shins as much as possible to your leg (from your pic it looks good) and as tight as possible at the ankle to get that nice tapered look of the original armor and if done right (and depending on body type) you never have a problem with the shin riding over your boot or twisting for that matter. So tape it up like you have and take it through some serious walking and "running", if the shin stays in place your all set That`s beeing a Stormtrooper for ya It looks great
