Looks like your belt ammo packs are a bit far in. E6000 on the elastic will keep them in place. Nice job!

Very nice work! EIB next?

2" ABS tube is common and easily available.

Don't worry too much about taping the vocoder. Your pencil lines look great and with a smaller brush you shouldn't have any issues.

I went elastic, E6000 to connect it, and industrial velcro because I suck at snaps. Any of it is easily removed and replaced. I survived 3 days at Toronto Comicon with 0 durability issues, but I also keep some of the industrial velcro in my kit for emergency repairs, as well as some elastic and strapping. Now, that being said, my long term mods will be to get snaps in place of a lot of my velcro...

My 2 Imperial credits worth: Looks like the wrong type of screws on the TD. They should be a flatter "pan head" style rather than the domed ones that come with the AP kit. Also, the plastic plate on the TD should be touching the metal brackets, yours looks a bit low. They'll want more pics of your sniper knee (front/left/right), the inside of your thigh ammo connections, as well as side shots with your arms lowered, Your ammo drop boxes should line up with the end of the plastic on the belt. Some E6000 on the straps will stop them from moving. As mentioned, your cod is sticking out a lot (no jokes!). That strap looks pretty long. The stripes on the vocoder are also a bit rounded at the top (i.e. the middle stripe is higher than the 2 on the sides). Some are sticklers for them being on the same horizontal line. Good luck!

Woohoo! Great work!

Welcome aboard!

Toronto Comicon March 15-17 2019. The 501st was out in force along with the Rebels. We had a great time with our Jabba set up and the new Moisture Vaporator addition. Lots of money raised for Make a Wish, and lots of smiling fans! My first con ever as a guest OR a trooper. I was a photographer for the Celebrity panels as my good friend was the moderator for them. I had Dan Fogler (Hutch from Fanboys!) sign a limited edition Stormtrooper skateboard for us as part of our raffle (that's me in the middle): The winners were thrilled. I had a good chance to talk with them. They're a whole family of geeks The kid said "You should see our house. The walls are covered in hats and posters" and the mom said "Oh, this is going on our wall!"

Thanks! V2 is in the works.

Congratulations!

My thoughts, for what they are worth: -A bit of overspray on the teeth - There shouldn't be any paint on the "gums". -Belt is sitting a bit low -45's on the belt don't line up with the cloth. -Blaster - It looks like you've used brass paint on the whole blaster. The scopes were brass, the rest of the gun is more of a steel/gunmetal (other than the T-Strips which are flat black rubber and should show no weathering) Nice job and good luck!

"You have taken your first step into a larger world" Welcome!

May as well! It's quite the feeling to know that your hard work has passed the microscope test

Measure multiple times. Doubt yourself. Look on Whitearmor a ton of times. Post on Whitearmor and ask. Go measure again. Check Whitearmor to make sure you read it right. Sweat, have anxiety attack and then cut.

Yeah that looks extremely thick. It should follow the contour of the brow ridge. Mine is ANH stunt, but a fairly consistent 9-10mm ridge. You can check out the hero helmet reference in the gallery here:

Me too LOL

Yeah you'll need to tidy up the buttons. Ideally they're not completely painted and show some white on the button itself.

Congratulations!

Welcome!

Scout Trooper is cool, and on my short list (don't tell my wife).

EIB Approved! #900!!!!

Thanks everyone. So many of you helped out, so if I forget anyone, sorry and thanks! @Bud Spaklur @gmrhodes13 @ukswrath @wook1138 @justjoseph63 @Twosolitudes @68Brick

Welcome! Looks like you're starting like so many of us did: "I want to be a Stormtrooper. Now what?" To get it right, you'll be building the suit. The ready-to-wear "costumes" just are not the same quality, accuracy,etc. and really don't save you that much. Decide WHICH Stormtrooper you want to be. Old school original trilogy? Clone? First Order? Also, let us know where you're based so we can help with local suppliers and you'll get answers from others in your area. This community is FULL of helpful people ready to answer any and all questions for you. We've all been down this path. It can be overwhelming, so ask LOTS of questions and we'll be glad to help you on your journey.
