Depends on how much of a contrast between the two, shouldn`t be a problem but hard to tell before seeing it

How about the getting started section?

All is good, it`s screen accurate (RS suit below, pis of an actual screen used suit) and like Luc and Greg said, when worn the back plate tilt backwards and you look awesome There`s always room for a screen shot

That’s the spirit Trooper

Looking good and I would say basic is a given For Centurion you will want to close the side gaps, left in particular and watch the overlap of the backplate over the kidney, CRL says no or minimal. Love to see nicely built TM armor so good job, Centurion awaits you

Talk about master builder Going to copy this method for my build, abs bracket and straps going under instead of through the yoke

Looking good

Hey Adam Dan provided great info for you and I would suggest you post some pics of the armor you got, maybe you will be able ti finish with help from us here at the FISD

Great work

Great work

Yeah it`s going to be a fun costume to troop in and thanks

Looks great

Thanks and...I know just whom to ask Funny thing about that poster is that my wife gave it to me a few years back , I think when TFA premiered so it was during that time I felt likt "eeaahh" about the new Stormtroopers so I remember beeing polite and saying "I love it!" cause as I have mentioned on a few times, she couldn`t care less about Star Wars so it`s very loving of her to go and by stuff for me to clog up the apartment with, anyways….I didn`t like it much then but now I´m all "it`s so cool, it`s so cool, I wanna build one (yeah I´m a nerd)

Best advice would be to check out as many builds as possible, starting with the pinned ones, even though there are diffrent armor makers the general building procedure is the same and there`s something to see and learn from on all the builds as there are different ways to accomplish the same thing - becoming an awesome Stromtrooper

As I´m not a part of the rebel scum I have a good feeling about this Looking forward to replacing this poster with one on myself

A way to identify the shins is that the inside should have a shorter swoop, conforming to the muscle, outside then has a longer….good thing is it really doesn`t matter, the RS kit (made from Movie suit) comes with only outer parts (left and right) and is Centurion "worthy" so bottom line is: if it looks and feels right to you then all is good The Troopers in the Movie had all variants but all we see are awesome Stormtroopers

Time to go Centurion

can’t remember if I ever used this emoji and if I have it’s very rare but now it’s only fitting:

JEALOUS!!

Got a little side-tracked...was about to glue the sides but made the conclusion that it would be easier to sand the parts separately so I started with that. But they are now glued. Also decided to close the back using snaps so drilled some holes, made som strapping, set some snaps and I think it will work. And made the strapping for the cod

sanded the chest and back and setting it aside for now. time to start with the side closure, it’s basicly an inner cover strip...going to clean them up a bit, sand and then glue.

Didn’t make it all that different...but I’ll deal with it later if it becomes an issue

As the paint dries I gave attention to the midsection and opposite from the OTTK:s that has openings to the sides, FOTK:s got one in the back and the sides get permanently closed with no visible seam, I have it sized and ready to be cut, I want it to taper some so I have made marks to the top and bottom so it`s time to split the difference I made my cut mark by following the golden rule of "it`s easier to cut more of than to ad back on" to be on the safe side....and if all else fails...the TD would cover rather large gaps and that also comes in handy if I suddenly expands in the midsection And done, the cut-offs will be used as inner strips to join the back to the ab Time to go check on the paint

Decided to go with snaps for the chest/back side-closure as well, I know it’s not going to be as flush as velcro (think velcro is screen accurate) but wanted to give snaps a go first as I like how they work over velcro were you have to aligne it everytime you put it on. So....same procedur as last time gave this, should have used white webbing to prevent the black from showing in the gap but don’t have any so... All snapped in, like the clean look of it from the inside back view is fine but slightly from the side it could be better... but...some paint should fix that so be right back

So...time to get back on this, decided I wanted to use snaps to connect the chest to the yoke Figured this was a good spot... ….so transferd that to the other side and driiled the holes Held the chest in place and marked were to put the snaps using a pen and the previously drilled holes Yep this should work So the next thing was to glue snaps to the chest and hammer the other to the yoke Testing….and decided I was happywith it Did some sanding to clean of the pencil marks and prepping for paint, happy how it looks but….. ….all of a sudden life as I knew it was over!! CRACK.... Rescue mission was sucessful so the happy life was back on
