I wouldn´t use an exacto to make the mobility cuts, a dremel would be my go-to. Not really except making sure it won´t go past the ridges. To make it more comfortable (if not cutting for mobility) and also stronger is to leave a couple of mm of the edge and glue som strips of abs on the inside and sand it smooth. That way even if there´s contact it won´t hurt and you can be more foreceful when climbing those stairs without damaging the armor. All within reason of course

Well maybe if going full throttle with a tin snip there´s a risk but if beeing careful or using a dremel there´s nothing to worry about. Either way the choice is yours

I use the ear screws, really easy and screen accurate. Also allows airflow.

I would avoid making any cuts just yet, doesn’t look like you need them. Wait untill you have tried it fully finished. You can always make cuts later.

You could try to use 5mm white elastic, that should be all that’s needed and as a bonus screen accurate.

That´s it then, it can be low but is should still be straight and not "droopy"

They are good to go Question, is the brow trim pushed all the way up?

This ^^^

I don’t think you need to, ”buttflare” is screen accurate and in this last pic yours don’t look bad at all. I would have placed the brackets closer to the edges though as that will aid to minimize the flare. If you’re up to it you could move yours and fill the small holes with a small plastic tab and abs paste. A fellow Trooper @gmrhodes13 has a nice fix for the posterior/kidney overlap he can tell you about It won’t, more likely make it worse.

Hi First make sure the thighs are at an even hight (in the pic they are not) and that they are centered (right looks to be slightly rotated inwards, backview). Dropping the left and rotating the right might be all that’s needed but a front pic would help to make sure that don’t create a too big of a gap between the cod and thighs. I would start there

If you use a hosting site like Imgur you can upload all you want

Hi Matt and welcome to FISD

Nope, me neither

Ah yes, probably SpecOps. Anyway, for uploading photos I recommend using a hosting site such as Imgur, works a treat...even at SpecOps

Hey Jeremy and welcome to FISD Really looking forward seeing the build and what the kit looks like and the helmet almost complete eh? Well then PICS please Also be sure to start a build thread as that will help greatly in making this a 501st costume

Just to make it clear, It’s not acceptable for 501st approval in any Garrison
