Welcome to FISD Tanner
Depending on the amount of weathering you’re talking about it sure is allowed to have a ”battle worn” TK
Here’s an example of what can be done and still Centurion (highest level) approved - good luck

Ah, interesting. So the greeblie side is fixed and the inner side is velcro? Did your spats come with that bit where you put the velcro on? Mine totally don't have it, so I am debating about cutting down the "main" spat to accommodate a slot for it, or manually adding on a tab for it
Yes and yes
-
You can of course just ad a plastic tab for the ”Anovos-method”
-
Too bad if they changed the mold, here’s how I did my second set of KB spats, did the usual greeble closure (screen accurate) on the first set and it broke. Did Anovos style this time around and works a treat

Nice work
Just make sure the velcro is hidden (Back view, side gap is fine) when the shin is fully closed. A suggestion would be to use the velcro in full lenght, makes it less obvious. I would also trim the bottom of the shins so they match a bit more inner/outer half

So this is basically the part in question. The screen there goes in the hengstler counter box. It's not required for the unit to function, but has a lot of neat features like shot count, overheat count, and the settings menu. I'd prefer to have it, but I can also order the system without it if it'd affect getting approved for Centurion. The rest of the system has all the other bells and whistler - LED's where needed, LED's in the barrel so it looks like it actually shoots, a laser aiming out the barrel if you want it, speakers, the full works.

Should be good, if it’s not you can just cover it for approval purposes and then Troop away

knows... I was looking at getting the Blast FX kit for it, but I wasn't sure if having the display screen for the counter box would count against that, or if I should play it safe and not have the display
I’m not familiar with the Blast FX kit, would you mind post a pic what it looks like and I can give better advise, if I were to guess I think it will be fine though as the CRL states working lights and front torch

You are clear to proceed
(I’m guessing what appears to be burnmarks won’t be visible?)

DOT (you find them on eBay) are marine grade snaps and an excellent choice as well

Sorry to make this a discussion but, I’m a GML and if I noticed straps this wide I would not approve it. L3 should never approve it either as it’s supposed to be about higher screen accuracy, unless something has changed from when I was D.O then it’s my bad. For basic I would however not. Your GML might feel different and let it slide so I suggest you touch base with him/her just in case

Perhaps you can cut them down some, unless they frey too bad. It doesn’t need to be exact too the mm.
-
How wide are those straps? They should be 1”.
-
Good luck!

I only use the upper, per movie suits, as you really don’t need one below, the belt holds that in
-
The majority of StuntTroopers (most likely all) did not have those ”gaps” filled in. The exception in below images is probably a Sandtrooper.
Your helmets is approvable to Centurion regarding the frown (as long as there’s no paint on the gums, center tooth seem to be a close call).

I am happy to be a stormtrooper with huge guns,
In fact to stay true to the Movie-Troopers the biceps should be small
They should be loose enough to move freely up and down on the arm though. I would remove all the planned return edge before any final trimming, like you said it might be too loose if removing more later and possibly bigger than necessary. Keeping the bicep snug will also help in getting the shoulder bells closer to the chest/back. -

chiefbonan's TK ANH Stunt Build (Centurion)
in ANH Build Threads

Hey Thomas
Here’s how the CRL is meant to be read:
Basic approval - the text in black and visual guide (CRL and official reference) need to be met.
Expert Infantry - the blue and black text combined with visual reference need to be met.
Centurion - the red and blue and black text combined with visual reference need to be met.
In other words, for Centurion the entire CRL needs to be met.
And as others have mentioned, the written text is only one part of the approval process:
Text descriptions are only one part of the guideline. GML's and costumers must consider both text and pictures (CRL and Reference) when reviewing the costume.
Hope that helps to explain it
