Congratz on approval Trooper

Trim them for size first and then see how it looks

From what i can see it looks fine....It`s a good thing to be able to put on/remove the helmet on your own so if you can tap yourself on the head then you`re good to go I have my biceps pretty low but that just how I like it, in the movie they were also low, showing minimal black and that`s the look I went for...and still able to handle the helmet on my own.

Well...they did that on the movie-suits when they needed repair so one could say it`s screen-accurate, painted white the screws won`t be all that visible
Personally I would fill the holes with abs-paste and use snaps or just glue the elastic to the inside of the armor, if beeing able of taking it apart isn`t important

If you are impatient, like me...well.....than......zap-a-gap the crap out of the plastic not much room for error though

Totally same for me, I have watch short clips on Youtube in order to stay focused Looking at screen captures in the gallery section is also a good choice
and "armorbuilding with TK1336" on Youtube is another great source

These guys got you covered I just want to ad that when sizing the shins it's best to have the shoes on and in my opinion, trying to keep the shin tight around the boot...some experience trouble with the shin sliding up over the boot when doing so but I haven't...and there's ways to fix that if needs be this is how thight mine are.

I´m sure you´ll do just fine in making the armour work for you, and based on your pics I would say your cutting skills are just fine to

Welcome to FISD and congratz on getting your armor! Lots of usefull information here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ good luck and like Eric said - hope you have fun

Hello and welcome to FISD Sounds like you are all set for BBB-day - good luck with your build - we´ll be here helping when it arrives
-
Good to hear and either way is fine as long as you make sure that the bottom of the thighs aren`t significally bigger than the top of the shins, or vice versa if that make sence? I prefer the "cone-shaped" legs vs the more boxy ones.
There´s some twisted sniperknees here but this is how the legs should look like (more or less anyways)
-
I used a white version on my build and didn`t have an issue but you could tape it on the inside just to be safe
And you don`t have to taper it if it restricts your movements, it looks fine as is, from the pic it looked like there was some room for it which would help in giving that sleek "movie-look", however doing so wouldn`t make the top to flare out, just make sure it`s securely taped in the back, at the very top of the thigh keeping it together as you reduce the eventual gap at the knee. AND...You might want to wait in doing any final cutting until you got your shins taped up to see how it looks together---it`s all about the look Which brings me to mobility well...it sucks..plain and simple someone wrote somwhere on this forum that "all the rebels had to do to prevent the stormtroopers to charge their secret base was to ad a step or two" If you want/need to you can cut some out of the back of the tighs/shins like these troopers did (a bit hard to see)
Personally I want to minimize the black showing so I didn`t cut any and this is how I walk (sorry if I clutter your build with all of my stuff)

Great progress From the pic it looks like it would do the trick...question: do you have room to taper it more at the knee? and if the painters tape is "acting up" you could always use duct tape for a better hold
-
I built 2 suits and used zap-a-gap on both I have zero jedi-patience but anyways..use which ever glue you`re comfortable with and I agree with you on amazing info, reading all this stuff is just as fun as the actual building and ....it´s addictive to, currently waiting on my third set and can`t wait to start a new build
