To my delight last night, I discovered ATLA was on Paramount+! Memes were inspired.

Check out this scene. The Nightsisters (great mothers?) dresses blow in the wind in a very silk/chiffon way. The material seems very flowing and ephemeral, just like the material J found. Another mark in the plus column for this material! I'm gonna order some.

(admittedly this is a bit of a reach, but I really wanted that VT16 reference )

beautiful!!! Thanks for the update.

Please unlock the artillery trooper also as yellow guy really needs this update as well.

Yeah, the way the silk material bunches and frays looks like an exact match to the screen used material. That's really really nice looking. The trooper material is SUPPOSEDLY the same stuff that the nightsister gowns are made with. Is it the same stuff in real life? No answer has come forth yet, but silk/chiffon seems plausible for the screen used gowns as well.

Here's the current R1 CRL text for the belt. Basic approval has the belt VERY wide open to modification with the current wording. The teeth aren't required till L2 and the 3-6mm edge isn't required till L3. Belt The Ammunition belt consists of a hard belt made of the same or similar material as the armor in two separate parts front and back (with overlap). The back belt overlaps the front belt on the sides. There are 6 ammunition boxes mounted to the belt. There are 2 (one left and one right) drop boxes suspended by black webbing approximately 2" (50mm) wide. Drop boxes must be accurate in detail and proportion to official references. The ammunition belt is accurate in detail and proportion to official references. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The only detail visible on the front belt is the mounted ammunition boxes unlike the squares present on ANH belts. The top edge of the front belt has protruding teeth that nest inside gaps between the ribs and detail panels of the abdominal armor. The two center ammunition boxes are thinner than the other mounted ammunition boxes. The second and fifth mounted ammunition boxes are slightly wider than the two center ammunition boxes. The two outermost ammunition boxes are almost square. The two drop boxes are rectangular and as wide as the mounted square boxes. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): The ammo boxes across the front are all made separately from the main belt and are secured to it The two drop boxes hang no more than 1" 25mm below the front belt and the black strap is visible. The second and fifth mounted ammunition boxes have trapezoid detail on the top of each ammunition box. The front belt protrudes past all mounted ammunition boxes above and below by approximately ⅛"–¼" 3–6mm. All ammunition boxes have slightly beveled edges on the face of each box. My suggested change in bold. I don't think having the belt edge required at L2 is a big ask. Moving that up and then allowing the bottom edge angle cut directly after would make sense.

Huge +1 from me. The cuts are so clean and uniform, I don't think they're to hide damage. Some where made intentionally with this cut. They were likely cut to prevent damage to both the belt and the thighs.

Well this is a cool Christmas gift! I'll also be itching to print one. -edit- https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/gun/nambu-type-99-lmg I wonder if the creator of this file could be convinced to upgrade it a bit for print quality? hmmm.

If you're worried about weight, you might check into AP (Authentic Props) armor. It's sized very generously in the midsection. And if you're painting the bucket anyway, no issues with using a different set of armor as you can paint the DA helmet to match. AP is also having a Boxing Day sale right now I believe. Check the sale forum. My own AP armor has almost achieved 100 troops and it's as strong as it was on day 1. I'm blessed to be the actual size of a 70s stunt TK. My AP armor needed a decent bit of midsection trimming to make it fit my small frame. However, it was lovely that it came in a larger size vs many kits that require shimming to fit larger troopers. Much easier to trim some extra plastic than to shim and paste. It's also not difficult to achieve Centurion in AP armor. No affiliation with AP, just a satisfied customer.

Outstanding armor and very impressive subtle modifications to make it fit you! I'll wish you luck with EIB even though I don't think you need it. You got this Barry!

Hmmm. We might need another run...

Wow. That printed armor came out beautifully!!! Well done. Also well done to @ChrisThePropGuy !!!

I might be really tired... but what are the differences you guys are seeing? Not the lack of insert on the Nico render, right? Because that's a small file that you print separately. The overall shape looks quite good to my eyes.

The paint work was extremely painful. I hated every minute. But it was worth it. You still did more with this build than I did with Sabine.

My one complaint: that this build is already over.

This is the definitive kid's build. This is incredible. Meanwhile, mine is waiting till she's 16 to get her TK armor... because not all dads are nearly as awesome as you are. She has to Jawa and Sabine until then.

omg this is incredible. Seriously the best thread I've seen in months. @MaskedVengeance check out the tiny TD!

Those Blaster Factory power cylinders are SOOOO good. It's hard, if not impossible, to beat them at any price. Excellent choice! I'm a huge fan of their parts as well.

An OTTK airsoft? Very interesting!!! I'm looking forward to this one. You should build an R1 E-11 also.

I can't resist boasting about this one a little bit - the blaster in this thread is now the CRL image for the ANH E-11. The old one had an inaccuracy at the end of the magazine (OFF pointing the wrong way) and only had one side shown. Andrew asked for some updated images and I was quick to send pix of mine. The chip on the scope and Joseph's beautiful greebs got moved over to my Blaster Factory build (The Leia Leveller) leaving this one to be a pristine yet generic example of an E-11. The camera angle doesn't show the inner spring due to the insanely thick walls on the QuestDesign blaster, but the bolt spring is indeed in there, as are the small electronic bits in my last update. https://databank.501st.com/databank/File:TK_anh_stunt_e11.jpeg This same image is used on quite a few CRLs including ANH Stunt ANH Hero Heavy Weapons Trooper TK Incinerator TX Shadow Trooper Shadow Scout Novatrooper Sandtrooper Imperial Gunner and quite a few more. I'm an E-11 nut and have FIVE in my collection, so having one of them as the CRL model is a very proud moment for me.
