  1. Everything looks correct. As you have read, the forearms are usually problematic for cover strips due to the curve. As a tip I can tell you that using a couple of wood strip over and this add some more pressure to the cover strip so they can attach better. take a look to the photos. Another consideration is to leave at least 48 hours to dry. It worked for me i many cases . Cheers a keep on doing a great work. almost there.
  2. Yes Emma !! That forearm looks great. If you don't feel good enough, you have said you're a perfectionist, and if can make a suggestion of what I did exactly in the same situation: What I did was to use a couple of wood strips to affix the cover strips and place the clamps to pressure the cover and E6000 stronger. may be the photos can give you a better idea. And finally consider to leave the glue to dry for more time. at least 48 hours . Hope this can help. you're doing an excellent work cheers ,

You may want, in advance to the D.o. to review your application, to paint the rim of the hovi mic and the inside white. Good luck Trooper !!
  10. Great work Jeklyn, the best part, after days of hardworking to complete the armor, is when you see a smile in a child's face, (and parents too), when you visit a hospital or help some fundraising event and obviously, feeling cool while wearing an Imperial Stormtrooper Armor. keep on doing a fantastic work.
  11. Hi, you are in the same place all of us have someday been. Don't be scared, measure twice or more, cut once. before gluing you can test how the pieces are going to look by using painters tape . good luck and remember we are here to help and encourage you. !!! cheers
