  1. One way to tell is to see if the sniper knee plate fits properly. You can try different combinations and use the one where the knee plate fits best for the left shin. it's the method that I've used for several AM builds that I've assisted on. It works, but I'm sure there is someone that will tell you the correct combination before too long if you are not comfortable with that method.
  2. That's kinda what I figured. Maybe I'll get one just for display.
  3. I had considered buying one those myself. I had some reservations due to the 3D PRINTING. While it looks awesome , I was concerned about durability during trooping. Do you think it is something that you will have to handle with extra care ? Definitely the less expensive way to go compared to something like a Hyperfirm . Just wondering how much durability is lost.
  4. I would like to see a photo as well. I'm interested in seeing what is causing the waddle.
  5. That is one heck of a job on the ears. Not easy to get them that close , unless you've done it many times before.
  6. You can read more about them in the getting started section . 1st topic , various types of armor and where to find them
  7. I think you will find that AM is among the highest in quality. I have a kit, although I am not a big guy and had to trim alot to get it to fit me properly. Still love the kit . Heavy duty plastic and very durable. Not only thick plastic but a sharp looking kit as well. It will satisfy when you open the box
  8. I'll back you on the amount of hard work put into making molds by hand. No joke, a lot of hard work and money. Not to mention the hours and hours put into heating and pulling plastic. It's not right for someone to step in and steal your work and profit from it.
  9. I run the rivet through the elastic for the drop boxes. they always hang perfectly . Didn't always do that, but I have been recently. It works great.
  10. The brow kinda has that puzzled Spock look. Pardon the other side reference. Lol. You can easily adjust the brow.
  11. Not the way it is built in the picture. Not to sure about that bucket either. The dome or top of the helmet is a little large . If you bought it as a kit and put it together yourself you could eliminate some of the other problems in the build. Still I would recommend going with on of the vetted makers. True you would spend a couple hundred more in doing so. But you have the piece of mind in knowing that you are not potentially wasting a couple of hundred. The builder of the suit pictured is not an experienced builder. There are several things that were not done correctly. That tells me that there a potentially several other things that may not be done right as well. You might get by with that as a Halloween costume, but if you are going for 501st approval then I would leave that alone
