Congratulations Trooper

Way to start the New Year Happy holidays

2018 - the Year of the Stormtrooper

The build is starting to come to an end and I'm already starting to miss this controlled chaos Final coverstrip is curing, ammo-knee and thigh elastic waiting to be installerade and then it's some trimming for comfort and TD to wrap this up - Happy New Year everyone

Best of luck Trooper

Yes

Congratulations

Looking great - good work

Shins are complete

I think you are right, a bit more work but will look much better

I would recommend Imgur

Bridges look great although I would remove the return in the front of first bump for screen accuracy And I would put a new snap higher up, making the elastic shorther to help the shoulders to better stay in place, you could also tape it up like it is and see how it works before you make any changes

Hey I would remove all of the flashing (left-over plastic) at the bottom and you could open up the teeth some more, eyes look great - best of luck with your build

Nice don't go any thicker with the outline, they are supposed to be thin

I´m sure you did fine, a few mm can make alot of difference and the use of 3/4" instead of 1", if you used Tony`s build for reference that should mean all is good (this is mine though)

oops...I ment in my neck of the woods, there are some places with good winter of course...it must have been the Sith in me

Expected to have done more but apparently I didn`t So...arms are done And the Shins are sized up, next up is the hook-closure before they are sealed...and the sniper-knee is rough trimmed Hopefully they dont walk away on me because that`s it for today

Yeez.....here in Sweden the winter is absent so far, more like prolonged fall altough I wouldn`t want it to be THAT Cold I think you can enjoy the good life of Christmas with a clear conscience, my bet is that you put the snaps slightly closer together or didn`t trim the edges of the plastic belt as much thus making the drop boxes further apart steering clear of the snaps....or both

Screen accurate is 1", using that instead should sort it

I would loop the elastic around, tape it to the dropbox to see exactly were it interfere with the snap and if it in fact is dead-centre I would follow your wifes suggestion, if not then I would cut a notch out and as long as the elastic is connected it will be fine, you will glue it to the belt anyways....and...is that 1"? The reason I ask is because it looks smaller, hence less material to work with.

Great work

Looking good

My sugestion would be to use the coverstrip as a guide and you will see how much to cut and if your shins flare out att the top like mine, cutting 10 from the ridge would make it difficult to assemble (see pic)..mark the middle of the strip, hold it to the shin to were it sits right and then transfer the mark to the shin, I learned this from Troopermaster, check his FB page and you will find lots of helpful stuff

Thanks and I'm very happy with it

Nice job on that belt and best of luck
