It meant a lot to me that you took the time to look at every post and helped me along the way. Please understand that troopers do notice what you are doing for them and I for one am very very grateful

Build is finally completed
Submitted and approved at level one
Thank you to all who helped me along the way.
As I said on Face Book, there are countless costumes out there for our universe but the 501st was founded on storm troopers and nothing makes me happier than to own , troop , and represent the fighting 501st as a TK!!!

Finished up the legs and belt. I feel ready to bust into the hallway of a rebel frigate at this point

More progress in the works. Yes I know the ab plate is in the wrong position.
Took pics of my hands inside my lower arms to show there is just no room to make the wrist area smaller. Waiting on split rivets to put the amp pack onto my leg.
Glued the sniper knee in place today sorry no pic yet. Finished the belt today as well as the Chicago screws that attach the leather holster to the belt

They look a tad large, you could add some foam on the insides of the biceps this should help stop them kicking out sideways. With skinny arms I also have foam in my forearms and thighs.
Lol , the armor is on a mannequin at the moment. My arms fit perfectly when I’m wearing the armor so no foam will be needed. I think I need to shorten the strap to the shoulder bells.

Hi Chris,
Looking at your build thread you are doing a great work with your armor sir. keep it up.
If I may, it seems like you have enough room in your Biceps and Forearms. To get a more accurate look, you could trim them a little more . If you used E6000 to glur the cover strips, this could be an easy fix.
You could trim the raised flat area in the front an relocate the cover. I would also suggest to make a test before glue them again. Use painter's tape to join the pieces and make a test, post some photos to receive feedback (this suggestions is also for the Thighs and Shins)

My arms are frustrating me to no end. Seriously!!!! The biceps keep wanting to kick out at a 45 degree angle.

Just updating my build here. Right arm outer cover strips are now in place on both the bicep and the lower bracer. Glued and painted the abdomen buttons in place. Glued inner cover strips inside shins on both legs. Slow and steady wins the race.

Honestly it’s a mix of hero and stunt. I don’t have the bubble lenses for the helm but I’m still aiming for level 3 approval
