Wohoo! Thank you for those kind words Sir and will do

And that`s what matters - beeing happy

Looks like the thighs will fit you fine, perhaps some fine-tuning in the back but like Daryl said - don`t cut any until you are absolutely sure. How cool is this - awesome! Did you try and sneak in?

Thank you Sir

The front dosen`t need to be canon for any level of approval but keeping cover strips screen accurate (front and back) is what to strive for, however, if the builder is a bigger person it will look better if the cover strip for biceps are 18 front/back rather than having the front at 15 and the back at 21. But that`s ultimatly up to the builder

Happy BBB-day and welcome to the World of Stormtroopers

WOW - that looks awesome! Blaster AND holiday pic

FISD will get you through it

Yes Edit for clarity: thigh - back of knee

Then I suggest you start by removing some from the back of thighs (a dremmel works great) sand it smooth and yes you might have to cut and sand again but sometimes the sanding makes it less unfomfortable allowing you to keep more return than you first thought. It`s also important that the thighs are in their right position/hight before any triming for comfort starts.

Congratulations

How much return is left? And no rush, get some sleep and then try them on and post some pics and we`ll get you sorted ones your ready

When trimming the back of thighs and shins for mobility one should strive to remove as little as possible and in my opinoin try and avoid it all together, simply doesen`t look good...but....that`s just me and the general public at a troop won`t notice so I´m not trying to put you of triming it`s totally up to you, just offering my take on the matter and others feel different and puts mobility before looks

No - interior strapping doesn`t affect any level of approval - then why the photos? To show others how you have done it so they can copy if they liked it. But it`s a great felling knowing your suit is assembled just like they did it for the Movie, it is for me anyways and... it works really well

Yepp I rather look good than move well

And...at 5"7 your at exact "Luke-hight"...so how about a Hero?

GREAT!!

Screen accurate way of attaching shoulder bell

If it fits fine there really is no need, that`s just how the armor is (most anyway) The RS below...but if it bothers you then there`s always the "hot-water-treatment" or heat gun (use carefully) and for the thighs, try them on and see how it feels, center of joint is a good reference point but that varies with hight, and how much mobility one want. My preference is that I rather look good (minimize amount of black showing) than move well So...tape them together and pull them up as high as possible and try to walk

The higher the better in my opinion

You can weather it - just not "Sandtrooper-style" here`s a great example on what you can to and still reach Centurion. (shout out to T-Jay) You can have a raised brow like the Trooper in the front, just not "sandtrooper-style" (too high). Yes first one is

Hard to tell from pics but it looks like you torso is a bit big/long? The crotch area should be snug against ”you know what” There are several ways in shortening the torso, cutting the neck line to raise the whole thing, adjusting the ab to chest connection or cut the cod piece. There are some good threads on how to do it, I recommend you read up on Crickets threads (there’s 2) on ANH build threads, the forearms also look big, is there alot of room? The hand idealy just barerly squeezes through the wrist - good luck

All that’s mentioned in the CRL is that the hovi tips are black/or painted black. I got called on the inside needed to be white and I only had some minor white around the edges (less from how yours look) I think it looks good with some wear and tear and if you’re not happy with ut I think you could tone it down a bit for EIB and if mentioned it’s an easy fix for when it’s time for Centurion.

already dialed in Ps: did you see I finished of my Hero?

Congratulations Trooper
