I’m sure Glen @gmrhodes13 will be along shortly and show an alternativ

They are not. I would be surprised if they cut yours shorter given you have them your hight. Easy enough to check as I have a pair of RS shins, I can take one with me on the Mandalorian-Troop if you like

Also, EFX were given permission to make a mold from the original ESB Fett helmet (stored at Lucasfilm) for their pcr helmet. Why woulden’t another licensed company be given similar access one might wonder.

Well, Disney owns Lucasfilm.

Hey Just wondering if the @Deployment Officer Team is still valid?

I’m really hoping that was a typo….

Then I would contact Paul aka troopermaster on FB Edit: miiight not be best as I was a bit slow in reading ”PVC” but maybe

So you can lenghten the strap if needs be. You need to ad a snap on your own though, if it somehow ”gets in the way” then cut it

What armor do you have now?

In that case - carry on Trooper

I’m not trying to persuade you BUT In case you want to raise it some you can use a lexan scissor with a curve and cut…well 5mm or so without any danger of ruining the look. I didn’t even dissassamble my helmet for when I cut mine. I also cut mine with a slight curve. And…if you ever wan’t to go back to a lower brow you just pull down on the brow itself, it don’t need much ”grab” to stay in place. whatever makes you happy

Probably would, but in my opinion not needed as the helmet looks great as is Looking at the pic Mario provided I would be tempted to raise the brow though Totally just personal preference so just ignore me if you are happy with it

I did the same on my kit and so far no cracks, I have much less of a return edge though.

I think that would be the best way to go about it. Totally jealous that you actually have that option, to own a lineage helmet and the capability to vacuform…..*sigh

I might get this wrong but do you plan for having the chestplate permanently attached?

No clue as to FibreGlast but for painting I would be temted to try the Mandalorian way. Alumaluster, alclad, duralumen or graphite powder.

Yep

So I easily can adjust the size incase my midsection increase/decrease.

Congratulations and welcome to the Legion Don’t forget to request higher access https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/186-501st-and-detachment-access-requests/

As a GML myself that was a harsh call indeed.

From my experience it comes down to the acetone used. I guess I just got lucky with a local supplier. I was going to smooth it out and used a different brand (smaller bottle and easier to use) and that turned the paste yellow so did some sanding and applied a new layer of paste and then only sanded/wet sanded and polished.

Great to see you back at it @Deployment Officer Team as this particular armor stand as of right now it would make it look better not having the notch. One can see that the notch should alligne with the end of the ab plate and not at the ridge as previously stated in this thread. lucasfilm reference. RS suit reference: FISD reference: This is mostly covered by the belt anyways so why bother right? Yeah but…as we talk about the higher levels I feel it’s important to let people know how the original armor was put together and how it looks

I did the same and as Glen mentioned I covered the trim lines with ABS paste.

Short answer: nope. There is some work involved with filling seams and making it seamless but that’s the nature of every FO-kit out there. Great to hear you received everything, I’m just waiting on the TLJ helmet before I can go for approval. Good luck on your build
