You painting is great

No worries Frank, as I said I´m only messing I can however recommend Imgur, it`s really user-friendly, if you already got Imgur, let me know and I will help

Yeah half a stormtrooper-dance My first suggestion would be that you fiddle around your picture host so you learn how to post your pics so we don`t break our necks just messing with you Frank Second it looks like you got some overlap on back/kidney/but, they should be butted upp against each other, so I would check on that...could just simply be an issue of it all not beeing strapped together yet...and for the shoulder bells they mean the shoulder bridges (plastic covers) that go front to back...just keeping the bells touching the elastic might not help if one need some tension...for me I needed a little pull to draw the bells closer. This didn`t work for me, I had to shorten the (black) elastic so there was some tension, the (plastic) shoulder bridges rides over the white elastic I´m holding. Here you see the bells upp against the covers aka shoulder bridges. Some also use webbing instead of elastic to keep it tight together. Interior strapping is totaly about personal preference and don`t affect any level of approval, if you wondered....unless....it affects the outside of course

That`s the one - my bad And...almost forgott check out the for sales threads and ongoing runs on this site and hopefully you will find what you look for and if you pull it of that would be impressive..most impressive

Back of thighs look fine..hard to tell for sure when they aren`t fully closed and the buttplate flares out a bit, if you could take pics with it taped together more that would help but all in all I would say it looks just fine - coming together nicely

Controlpanel Keep powering through Trooper

Great to see it worked out! Good luck with your build

I´m sorry to say but unless you know exactly how to build and a very skilled builder it`s not realistic to build in 10 Days, most take months and even years...granted they don`t work 24/7 on their armor, look at armorbuilding with TK1636 on Youtube for a complete turtorial and you still need to get your armor, which is also almost impossible in that timeframe (sorry to be MrNegative) and for that I would recomend scouting FB for listings and all other sites that sell stuff, you might get lucky.....HOWEVER I you are interested in 501 standard it would take som effort to "know what to buy"..if you just want something for the TLJ then there`s always Ebay (90% BAD armor and recasters) MTK (trooperbay) is sometimes found on Ebay and that is GREAT ARMOR...or someone sells their ANOVOS Kit at a higher price but...if you need it this quick, it might be your only option and if you got more money than you can spend that also helps and...seeing as I already "shot you down" I might as well point out that for 501st approval the black series helmet don`t go with original trilogy armor - and som postitives, yes there is some - the general public won`t notice if you have the black series helmet mixed with OT armor - they see a Stormtrooper. I really hope you succeed

Well that`s no fun....luckily here in Sweden, they can`t deliver unless someone signs of on it, or you get a notice to collect at nearest service point.

I thought you were home..at least there`s a chance of delivery then...very odd to just leave it on a porch/front door..anyways,,hoping for that BBB-post

Report in Trooper, what`s the mission status

Sorry to hear that, all the best to you guys!

No worries, congrats on a great set of armor and good luck/have fun with your build

Great looking armor - the wait is over - let the fun times begin

Hey Simon and welcome to FISD Did you mean TK as in Stormtrooper? TS is Snowtrooper If it`s a TK then all helmet are pretty much assembled the same way and there are some great tutorials on Youtube, trooperbay and/or armorbuilding with TK1336 should get you sorted

Yeah! Looks awesome - congratulations

I can help you guys with that one, for basic and EIB (expert infantry badge) painting the ear bumps is optional and it doesn`t matter which one you paint of you choose to do so and you can paint more than one, personally I think it would look wierd to paint more than two, for Centurion you paint one of the bumps

Say what?! didn`t know RS had their own Jet Great

Did you get an estimate on arrival? Just curious if my guess came Close

Here you go Kidding aside, hope it works out!

All the motivation one needs

Great to have you back and it sounds like you made alot of progress and for your questions, post some pics and we´ll know what to work with,...it`s worth the struggle And no need to rush, we are here to help whenever YOU are ready

You can achive Centurion with bigger strips than 15 since it`s about uniformity, for screen accaracy (and best look in my opinion) you should try for the smaller version if possible...since the arms are relative small limbs I would try to avoid bigger than 20 (front and back) However it`s like Randy said about the raised areas, the cover strip is meant to cover does areas as much as possible, original armor did not have those ridges on the biceps, armors that do are intended to use the overlap method, not approvable at level3 (Centurion), hence the trickiness to assable said armor especially if one got bulging biceps Forearms are looking great by the looks of it How big of a cover strip have you planed for the back of arms? And it can be a different size compared to the front, just curious

What Tony Said and...now you can do the "I`m half a stormtrooper, yes I`m - dance" at least that`s what I did when I had the torso strapped together
