Thanks. Did that this morning

Have my TK Stormtrooper - ANH Stunt approved! Requesting access http://501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=29231

Thanks Mark. I love the armor.

Hey Mark, It is currently in the same state as the image. Never rounded it off as of yet. I am in the process of tweaking a few things after wearing the armor for a bit so there is a good chance I am going to revisit the thighs. Nick

Officially Approved as of Friday! So excited TK-30733 reporting for duty!

Took advantage of my family pictures today to sneak in some trooper ones. Submission pics this week!

Thanks for the feedback Greg. I am 5'7". I will look into your suggestions about the straps hovi tips and removing the tube stripe. In terms of the shins, I did trim them a bit at the bottom to bring them down. They were significantly longer but I am hesitant to trim them anymore as they might look too short. They seem to be pretty comfortable at the moment when walking so will give it a few troops. If need be I think I will trip the top portions of the thighs as they are pretty snug. Glad you are struggling to point things out . The sniper knee was a challenge for sure. Had some tips from a few guys on here on how to tackle it. Purposely left that to last as I knew it was going to be a huge pain.

Thanks for the feedback Rebecca. Will get on the shoulder bells and elastic very soon. In terms fo the ab / kidney, I am using the proper rivets. Hard to see in the picture but here is one from my build thread: In terms of the thighs, they are more comfortable then they were. I should be able to pull up the torso when i redo the white elastics i think. Fingers crossed. Here is a link to my build thread incase anyone has any other feedback that I should be looking for in terms of Centurion:

Thanks for the feedback Eric. I was thinking some modification was going to be needed for the shoulder strap positioning. There are a few things I want to redo in that area. One of the white elastics is a bit tight and pulling up the chest armor more than i like so going to redo that entire piece sooner than later.

Thanks for the feedback. Will make those modifications.

Thanks for the feedback. Can definitely see how trimming the return edge will help bring it all together. I am hoping to reach Centurion.

Name: Nick McKinnon Garrison: Canadian Armor Maker: Authentic Props Helmet Maker: Authentic Props Cloth Belt Maker: Authentic Props Neck Seal Maker: Geeky Pink (Awaiting Delivery) Boot Maker: Imperial Boots TK Type: ANH Stunt Hi Guys, My goal is to reach Centurion level approval. I am awaiting my neck seal which hopefully will be delivered this week and thought if there are any changes to be made prior to submission, why not post my current images for pre-approval. If that is acceptable that is? Appreciate all the feedback, Nick (MandalorianHelm)

Without knowing what the ranks were I was going to go with the stripe on the back. So I guess a warrant officer.

Thanks for the info

All painted up . Question on the rank stripe. I see some troopers with the stripe on the front and others on the back. What is the difference between the two?

If i thought i could actually sit in that chair it would make for an epic pic.

Items remaining: * Paint rivets and screws * Velcro shin to boot so it stops moving around now that sniper knee is attached * Remove decal from undersuit on left shoulder... * Tidy up interior of helmet. Getting excited

Thermal Detonator done :). That was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be.

All glued. Remaining items as far as I know: * Thermal Detonator * Bucket interior * Paint all the screws white * Tweaks, tweaks, tweaks .....

Mark from AP recommended this stuff which is an equivalent to Loctite works perfectly! Highly recommended if you can’t find Loctite.

I did try gorilla super glue but no luck. Held it in place for a few minutes and no reaction. Maybe didn’t leave it long enough?

Seem to be having some difficulty finding it locally. Is there a similar alternative to the brand? I did try gorilla but same result. No bond at all.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

So I tried to glue my latex hand guards last night using E6000 which I learned pretty quickly was a mistake. I see many builders using different types of glue. Any recommendations on what to use?
