Hello there,
I was just reviewing my 501st Status for my TK and under detachment is states: First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (Pending).
Would someone be able to let me know if I'm missing anything to finalize the approval.
Thanks

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to meeting some of you one of these days.
Oh and the pose.. haha.. yes it does look like the Matrix although was going for the 'got shot cause i don't have a blaster' pose.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
My name is Christian and I was introduced to the 501st by one of my long time friends. I've already received some great help from members on here and in person during my TK built, so thank you there. It was a fun journey and my build was 'just' approved so wanted to say hello on here, as I can't seem to find my initial intro message and am not able to post on the 'Sound off' board (not sure why.. maybe too soon after approval).
Now I need to work on getting my E-11 blaster or else most of my stunt poses will look like the one attached below. haha!
Looking forward to meeting some of my fellow TKers once we're all able to meet up again in a safe social setting.
Cheers,
Christian

That will depend on your body shape. The cod should fit quite snug to your crotch area. The chest plate will sit with the neck line up around your neck seal.
The chest/ab overlap will then be determined.
Regarding the helmet, I’ve looked back at earlier pictures and can see the right ear on the left hand side. If you have more pics I can advise more thoroughly on the helmet. :-)
I'll have a look. I built it with the guy that made the actual RT-Mod kit so would presume he put them on correctly. haha. That would be a bummer but fixable I guess. thanks again for the tips.

I added snap plates pretty much like the image I supplied previously, then used adjuster brackets on the elastic so I could adjust to get the right look
that's a great idea. was looking for something like that for the exact reason. thx

Any tips for spacing between the chest plate and ab section? have the middle built and was going to tape the front and back together while wearing to see where I should attach the snaps.
Just trying to ensure spacing over the middlen section is correct. I looked at photos so have a rough idea but thought I'd ask anyhow.
Thanks

may need to make changes

Nice work, just with the ab plates they shouldn't have rounded corners and appears you still have some extra material left on the smaller plate
thanks and yes... they need to be cleaned up a bit.

Been a while since I've had to hand paint anything...
How did I do?

yes, the small ones go into the inside of the larger ones. source: L3 CRL on the belt

For mine I glued them together first and then glued some elastic to the belt and the back of the packs to get the distance right. Not sure if that’s how others did it.
I guess you dont really see the back right. I figured the snap wouldhe good in case I need to replace something or make the snap itself longer.
But just to confirm the smaller sections go inside the larger ones correct? there isn't one large and one small one? would look a bit weird but rather check before gluing.

Quick pic of my ear progress... waiting for paint to dry so make the last black stripe
-
For the ammo packs that hang from the belt do put ial snap on it and then glue it together? small piece into the larger one for both sides?
-
not too bad... well not great but that's to he expected. Haha
-
what do you guys think of the distance between bicep and forearm??

Hi Christian, here are a couple of photos and charts that may help you. You can also search the build threads to have a better idea of what to do.

Looking for some help on attaching the sniper knee plate and the small ammo belt. Looks like I'll need rivets for the ammo belt. Is there a certain way to cut it and attach it? same question for the sniper plate. will double check whitearmor threads as well but haven't found one yet. thx

Not sure what you are using to post, on computer it works to select copy link and paste. Did you read through the how too link I posted earlier. Also you cant really work out placement until you try all the pieces on, you may need to adjust depending on how much gap you have at your elbows and forearms, using painters tape to hold things in place can help.
Rough placement
That's super helpful. Thanks for the image.
I used blue tape earlier to set the biceps onto the shoulder bell. That part. should be good. Seemed to fit well.
How did you attach the front waist plate to the bottom part? Snaps?
cheers
-
Will upload some pics for reference etc but feel pretty good having come from this...
to now having all the pieces together... and only needing to add a few blue stripes.
-
Any suggestions on how to measure the waist section compared to the diaper. To make sure they line up properly? Just lie them down on top of each other and mark off the snap plates so they're snug?
Thanks

Success! Thanks all. Think the trick is to hold and make sure to copy the individual photo and not the album.
Strapped the shoulder bells last night. Now waiting for the straps connecting them to the bicep pieces to dry.
Also got some thinner elastic for the wrist covers.

You really need to post seperate images rather than just a link to a gallery, you’ll receive more feedback that way
so create a new folder for every image? how do I add the actual image. doesnt seem to want to work. just freezes up the screen if I insert media through URL
