I agree, the rest looks great. Hopefully they used e6000 (or similar) to glue the pieces and it should be relatively easy to break them down, tidy up and glue back together. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'd also grab a copy of Ukswraths build guide as a reference. Looking at the pics there will be a few corrections required to achieve 501st approval. Ie where the cover strips end on the top and bottom of the thighs. This a reference from my armour, note the cover strip doesn't go all the way to the edge or under the ammo pack.

Hi Tepes, what's the width of the cover strips that have been used. For the thighs these should only be 2cm wide, from the pics they appear a lot wider. A list of cover strips are below. Strips for arm armour are 1.5 cm wide Legs 2cm, with back of shins 2.5 cm Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Looks amazing Steve, looking forward to trooping with you in your FOTK next time I'm in Vic. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hi Keith, I believe your hand guards should be around 1/4 inch or approx 63mm high after trimming. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing and welcome to the Legion Trooper. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Looking good, for comfort, it should be noted that you will never be 100% comfortable, as your walking around covered in hard plastic. To improve look for any pinch points, remove any sharp corners and adjust your strapping. This will however be a continued process as you do different troops (ie walking up hills presents different pinch points vs walking on flat surfaces). I found the back of my knees as the worse place for pinching. Based on the pics you Biceps look ok, I'd just make sure you have enough movement between your Bicep and Forearm Arm. Once you have your gloves on you may find you hand guard hitting your Forearm armour for example. I'd also suggest putting your boots on to see if your Calves sit higher, which will give you a guide as to the gap between your thigh and calves, which may then led to you wanting to add the half moons on the Thigh/Calves behind your knees.

Yay, another Trooper. Take your time, it's your own race, and measure, re-measure and re-measure and take small cuts/trims. As you can't put it back on. While waiting for your BBB look to start gathering your build supplies, glue, cutting implement, cut resistant gloves etc. And above all else have fun, it can be a daunting experience (it took me a good 2 weeks before I made my first cut) but once you start you'll build your own confidence. There are also so many great resources and people on these forums and in your local garrison there to provide advice and assistance. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. TK20187

Almost there, looking forward to seeing you kitted up.

Thanks, will keep an eye out. Been pretty happy with my suit case. Recently travelled to Melb and it held up really well. Only thing is my bucket doesn't fit inside. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

The case looks great, being in Australia I haven't found this style crate. I instead use a large hard shell suit case. In regards to the sniper plate, I found attaching it in two steps worked well. 1. First glue the front onto the shin and let the e6000 set. 2. Then attach the sides to the shin. I found clamping on the sides tended to push out the front creating the gap and by attaching in two steps resolved this issue. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Nice, I'd be interested to hear how it holds up during troop. Look very clean, great work

Shins are looking good and on the correct legs (noting the inside halves have the longer ankle piece). I'd also suggest if you have your boots to test fit with them on as the shins will sit highers as well as the top of the boot adds width to your leg. (Amended and apologies for any confusion, pieces are matched up correctly, just on the wrong legs) Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I believe it's the last (back) bump. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
