Hi Emma, looking really good. I my experience, in this stage (I call it the blue tape stage) you can have an idea about how things are going, but not the final look, so be careful in measure but don't make any cut till you are in the Straping stage where thing get the real place. keep om doing a great work.

Excelente compañero !! Great mate !!

Bienvenido Chamu, excelente noticia leer que vas a por los niveles superiores. Suerte y no dudes en postear fotos y hacer preguntas, mide dos veces, corta solo una . Welcome Chamu, Glad to read you are going for high levels with your armor. good luck. ask questions, post tons of photos. remember measure twice or more, cut once .

Felicitaciones Trooper, Bienvenido a la Legion !!! Congratulations Trooper, welcome to the Legion !!

Wow Caleb, you looks amazing!! Great work. About what you mention on the Shim , a closer photo with no Holster and belt could be useful , at least for me, to have a better idea of the issue. By the other side, If I can make a suggestion, probably you have noted already. There's small detail on the thighs alignment as you can see in the following photo. You can adjust the straps to align then better and try to find a middle point where you leave the smallest gap and still walk without problems like armor bites. Almost there Trooper , keep on doing a fantastic work.

Hi Luke, Don't worry about making questions, we love questions, photos and help others so keep on making questions and posting photos. For the Shins , you can leave a small return edge at the top and they don't have any return edge in the botton as you can see in the references. Cheers.

ok thats cool my eyes are not.

Great Paint work Caleb ! I'm not sure if it's a light effect or my eyes ,or maybe both ,but it looks like there's a bit of paint between the white area as shown and ther's still a small paint detail that I would suggest to take off, just a toothpick with mineral spirit, no acetona, and it is. looking good so far,

Hi Jason, the amount of return edge will depend on which strapping method are you going to use, you will need more return edge for the "classic" strapping method, is suggested that you leave some of the return edge to keep it from riding under/over the kidney.

ordered mine today.

Hi, As Mason posted above "the first i cut some 1/2" thick scrap wood into the approximate shape and size of a mp40 magazine (7" for the long 3 1/4 for the short one) and browsing, I found that de aprox dimmesions are about 16-18 cms X 5 cms the long. You can take a look here https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/original-wwii-german-wehrmacht-mp40-1910427675 Hope this help.

Thanks for clearing @justjoseph63. Learning every day.

Welcome to FISD Perry, Glad to read a new Imperial Stormtrooper is coming soon. looking fordward for your BBB day Photos. we are here to Help. Cheers

Hi Emma, may be this can help. If I can make a suggestion, wait to the final fit of your amor to be sure if the mobility cuts are really needed and if so, how much plastic you need to cut.

cool

Hi Darin, The kit you ask for looks good, but incomplete , I would like to recommend you to read the following forum section about Armors and FISD Vetted Sellers , You can ask those vendor for a complete Helmet kit, the one you have seen doesn't include some additional pieces that are essential for build It, some of then: Hovi mix tips, lens, Neck seal , screws, decals etc . that most vendor sells (screen accurate ones). something like this example photo Example Photo of different pieces of a Helmet Kit Hope this can give an idea and feel free to browse the forum and ask questions. We are here to help. Cheers

Great work Trooper !!

Hi, the first one is better. more screen accurate and for L3. I would recommend to use painter's tape to make the first fitting test. Arms, thighs, shoulders etc. Cheers

Hi Luke, welcome to FISD. looking fordward to see your progress photos. Remember: "Measure twice or more, cut ans glue once. " Post photos, ask for opinions, tips and feedback. Here we have so skilled Troopers willing to help. Good luck and enjoy.

Congratulations Trooper !! Welcome to the ranks

Hi, sometimes it happens when painting in a cloudy very humid day. (I had this issue whist a E11 blaster mod). cheers.
