Sorry I read wrong "Thighs" and "Shins "
any way if you note some Shin rotation, you have the solution now. 
-
What I did with good result is to add a piece of velcro to the shin and boot like bellow . No shin rotation any more.
hope this can help.

I still need to trim the butt plate above. I went back to the forearms and a couple things.
The left forearm is quite different than the right. I have seen other forearms that are similar to this. Is my right one above normal?
This is looking from the top of the forearm. The left side is at the top of the image. After sizing, I am going to have to trim a little bit. But want to make sure the way the first is image is, is ok before I do anymore trimming and glueing.
Hi Dale , depending on the armorer, the forearms use to be different each other . take a look to this AM armor build thread, page 3 about forearms assembly

Welcome to FISD Marissa !! Great looking armor well done!
Perhaps you may want to check out our higher levels EIB and Centurion and take your armor above and beyond

Perhaps he is thinking of higher levels too
In that case , the crl for high levels is specific talking about "CLIPS" and not "clip" to attach the TD
CRL
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps.

I was wondering is it allowed to be hanging from your belt with say one clip (and a screw or a robot to keep it from falling off) like it is decrepit and about to fall off hanging up and down ish vs normal?
You could ask to your GML before or you can also make the change once approved .

What I mean is, is our work here on FISD and the work of GML's that tightly intertwined in the creation of a CRL, to the point where the creation of said CRL might be stopped because of the GML's? Or do we still have separation of concern? Who has the final say in CRL creation is what I guess I'm asking?
This is what the Legion Site says
Who publishes New CRLS?
The Legion Membership Officer (LMO). The LMO has the final say on what goes into a published CRL.You can read the complete text here

Hi David,
The crl don't specifies the mobility cut For basic level but for Centurion Level
CRL L3: Any mobility cuts on back of piece do not go past raised ridges.
It would be like bellow

Ok I got another stupid question. The CRL says got to have sniper knee but in a lot of reference photos show it missing. What is the stance on that?
There's no stupid questions brother, just questions.
The CRL is clear in the Sniper Knee request and for reference images we use what we have in the gallery section where you can see the sniper knee is present, damaged, but present.
The BASIC level Is all up to your GML to approve with or without the sniper knee, buy for higher levels we have to check according to the crl and official references .

I am the GML for my garrison so I'm hoping the DO's can help answer this for Basic approvals, Do the large tabs need to be present on the front of the shoulder straps? CRL only specifies the tabs on the back as optional. With text and reference images being used as judging criteria but not always matching each other, it creates too much ambiguity on some costumes.
Hi Dan, this is an interesting question .
As you noted , the crl is specific in the rear tab of the shoulder bridges and isn't for the front one but, to my understanding , if the rear tab is optional, is implicit that the front one isn't .
The crl aditionally states :
Text descriptions are only one part of the guideline. GMLs and costumers must consider both text and pictures (CRL and Reference) when reviewing the costume.
We have a lot of reference images that clearly shows a large tab in the front and most of the time none in the rear.
At the end of the day is completely up to you the Basic Approval, for higher levels EIB and Centurion this would be a blocker and the applicant would need to change the piece.

Are most folks ANH troopers? I’m thinking about going ESB.
Most are ANH, If you go for ESB taka a read to the CRL for each one to consider the differences between them .

Welcome to FISD Seth . Overall looking good.
It would be great if you can post some photos with the complete suit up (black suits included), so we can see the final fit.
Keep it up.

Hi Tristan. What a great looking helmet and E11 blaster
they look awesome.
In a quick view , what I can see that will be a block for higher levels :
1- E11 Blaster: Even though it look great , there are some small details that we didn't see on screen and you will need to address :
Ammo Counter
CRL for L3- The blaster may have minor weathering or base metal exposure however, T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed.
Although in some counters the brass could be seen, in this one it does not look like weathering, (it is a perfect square). You may be able to paint it black and then rub a little before it dries completely, and thus give it the " weathered " look. Also it would be located forward as the reference images.
References
2- Helmet : As EIB and Centurion are an add on to the Legion standards, it has to be Basic approvable. Those scuffed marks looks great from a prop replication point, but aren't for what was intended and not what we saw on screen when things are moving, and thus not allowed on a Legion approvable costume. You may want to check the EIB and Centurion application Threads and see what we look for.
Rerefences
I would also suggest to trim a little more the extra material in the Left Eye
References
This was a quick check and more details would be pointed in a EIB and Centurion Review. keep it up

@MaskedVengeance Caleb, this could a good addition to your All in One

Congratulations Trooper !!! Welcome aboard

Coming alone nicely Tim.
In a quick check, additional to what Glen pointed, you may want to rise up your AB belt to sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels.
The Ab rivets must be painted in white color.
And about your own observations:
1. I think I need to shorten the elastic between the shoulders and the biceps a little so the biceps sit a bit higher. YES
2. I think I’ve pulled the shoulder bells to the front too much YES
4. At the moment, there is no padding in my helmet so that’s as low as it will sit. Conscious it’s a bit bobble head but not sure how I can get the helmet any lower (short of removing vertebrae in my neck haha) NO PROBLEM
