Wow nice work! I'm really impressed with your repairs. Also this feedback is coming late, and it's just personal preference, but your ears seem a bit thick to me. Reference photos here: http://starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-Stunt-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm

Teeth look good to me!

Saw your official welcome on the GGG member page. Looking forward to trooping together!

Congrats!!

For your biceps, do you have anything keeping them up? A lot of people make bicep hooks; I connected mine to the shoulder bells via elastic and snaps.

Looking good! Your shins do seem to be riding a bit higher than mine, but not egregiously so: re: the thighs, a lot of people stick foam in various places of their armor to make it fit better. If it helps, the thighs don't look too big, even though they may feel that way. Having just gone through the approval process with the GGG in October, I'm guessing Adam (our GML) might mention the potential pinch/armor bite points at the tops of your thighs: So maybe just have whoever's helping you with your submission photos be aware of that, and try to even out the spacing for the photos. Submission photos aside, you may want to adjust the strapping or do a bit of trimming just for mobility. Can you walk okay? Go up/down stairs? As far as dressing yourself, I can put my entire kit on myself - the hardest bits are connecting all the snaps between my right ab/kidney, and snapping both shoulder bells on. And, as you said, getting the belt straight can be a challenge. It gets a bit easier with practice, but on troops you'll also have your handlers/other troopers helping you. Anyway, don't think you should have an issue getting approved - don't be distressed if it takes a re-submission or two. Looking forward to trooping together soon!

Congrats!

Here is the thread about the WTF shin pairing: I also did what Paul suggested and paired them up long/long short/short but it probably doesn't matter in the end, as people have been approved with both combinations. Walt actually said he'd redo the shins after a big thread about it on his Facebook page but I imagine he forgot with everything else going on.

I did, but like 68Brick said, it haven't actually used them during a troop. It'd be really hard to get to them. Also, sadly they are slightly too small for trading cards, which is what I had intended to use them for.

Personally I would cut to where your finger is pointing, as the shoulder bell should have a smooth curve there, not any sort of ridge. But TheSwede is right that you can always trim off more. I went with the measurements that Cricket listed in her build - I believe it's 5" from the edge of the ridge to the edge of the bell, and 12" from top to bottom, but you should check in her thread to confirm.

Great start! I would trim a bit more off the teeth, but I think that's more personal preference than a requirement. And yes I'd take a hair more off the top of the helmet so the brow trim aligns better to the bottom of the trap. Btw I also used Google photos to share my build photos and you should be able to get the direct link to the image and paste it into your posts and it will get converted to an embedded image.

Nice build, Andrew! Crazy that the same kit can fit me (5' 3") and you (5' 11") I'm wondering if you might need to change your ab shims; it's hard to tell but the CRL says that for EIB they can have visible seams but they should be flush. Yours look like they might be sitting under the ab/kidney. Also this is definitely due to your height, but in some of the photos it looks like the bottom of the chest might be slipping slightly under the top of the ab.

Update: approved for Centurion! https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43656-tk-19233-requesting-anh-stunt-centurion-status-wtf-367/

Nice progress! And I'm a little late on feedback, but your biceps look like they're riding a tad low in that pic from the end of Nov. Most importantly you should be able to remove and put on your helmet by yourself, and it looks like that might be tough with the way they're sitting right now. And for torso fitting, the way I did it is to fit the ab and kidney together as a clamshell, then do the chest/back. The top of the ab/kidney should be aligned, so you'll want to be sure those are sized correctly before strapping everything together. When everything's fitting correctly, the entire torso comes together as kind of a big puzzle piece.

Thanks, everyone!!

Congrats, David!!

Here's another one that worked perfectly for me on Chrome. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-hotlink-fix/kegnjbncdcliihbemealioapbifiaedg

Yeah Nino!

Yay another WTF trooper! Only comment I have is the gap between your biceps and forearms. Can you drop your biceps? They look better in the side shots but they're very high in the front and back shots.

Oh, and I can't take credit for the weathering - it came that way from Hyperfirm. All I did was paint over some of the brass weathering.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks Tony for the quick turnaround. What a great Christmas present.

I bought a WTF kit in April and had it within 7 weeks. I think the armor looks great - nice quality plastic, and like others have said, customer service is great. eg my kit only came with one set of ears (he usually ships 2 sets) and when I mentioned that on the fb page, Walt offered to send me a second set for free if I needed it. Also, I needed a new TD end cap and he sent me a new one completely for free, even free shipping. The armor is one of the smaller ones, so although I've seen a range of sizes of people in wtf kits, if you're very tall or heavy it might not be the best kit for you. Here's my build thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build/

Bravo!
