Hi Ryan, just remove the top return edges . I would like to recommend to take a couple of minutes to read the following post About Return Edges i'm sure it'll be so useful. About your question about outside thigh, could you post some photo please? It would be better to be clear about the issue. Cheers.

looking good mate!! As suggested in the 101 thread, you are right, and this will avoid the chafe when moving. About the inner clothes,for you to have an idea, what I have seen in the forum is the following recommendations : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HXPKQDK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A2Q6XV9HQ2RH17&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ML2YRPF/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2Q6XV9HQ2RH17&psc=1 Cheers

Great Alex. Thanks for your high speed response !!

Hi Jonathan, great to know you're going make the fix. What I did las time in a case like this was to : 1-remove old rivets both sides (ab/kidney) 2-glue a small piece of ABS behind the old hole. 3-fill with abs 4- sand to smooth surface 5- apply automotive polish wax 6-measure the new rivets location and mark down 7- drill the new holes 8-place the rivets 9-mark the new rivets position from AB to Kidney , drill and place them. NOTE: I highly recommend to make the Ab side first. About your Kidney flat /level top, If It was my case, I would try to reshape the return edge a bit either with hot bath or and iron tool. Hope this can help to have an idea of what to do. Cheers

Looks good.

Hi Jhon, Welcome to FISD. could you post some photos please? It's better if we can see haw the armor looks in you and give some suggestions to fix it. cheers. Pd: If you haven't posted photos before , you may want to check this post about Posting photos. Cheers

Congratulations Trooper !! Welcome to EIB

Super fast response !!! thank you Alex. and great job on that fix ! Before we can "move you along", sir, we need you to do a small fix that should take less than 5 minutes of sanding ! As you can see there's still a raised area of return edge that need to be removed for a more screen accurate look. Reference images Thank you for your patience.

Looks great Jonathan, in my opinion leave it as it, actually it is not noticeable and it would be covered by the holster. i would wait till the final test with all the armor.

Congratulations Trooper, just a few fixes and Go for the next goal !!! Centurion .

ANH and ESB helmets are very similar. you may want to check this section too

Yes Rob, as Glen pointed , don't trim or made any change till you have tested with boots. At the end you can trim the bottom section, (never the top), of the shins . Cheers

Hi Avery, Welcome to FISD. As you have said, (trial run) this is a good start point to learn the basic for a Helmet build. take your time and revew the info Glenn pointed , you may want to open a build thread , post photos and receive some feedback here. Good luck. Cheers

Hi Alex. Congratulations for your GA to 501st Transition. Additional to the close up photo of your helmet teeth requested, could you add the following photos please? 1- Photo of the helmet "S" trim 2- Close photo of forearms wrist. Thanks

Hi Matt , welcome to FISD, looking forward for you build thread . Good luck. The clue for a happy finish project: "Measure twice or more, read the crl, look for reference photos and Glue once" Cheers

Hi Rob, could you please post some photos?

Good luck Christopher, looking forward for your build thread,

Wow!! Amazing , Congratulations

Don't forget: " Measure twice or more, always look for the reference images and glue once"

Great !!

for the small one you can trim a bit more and let square corners not round.

It's almost right that way, but You could trim,(or just sand) , a 1mm more, but be sure to let some edge as the reference .

You could trim a little more. I Highly recommend to read the crl but check for reference photos. You can see the Gallery Section Cheers
