I think you should try my suggestions, there were some points that I think would make it a bit more like the original, like the black area on the left being smaller than the bottom spacing! (But that isn't the black leather pieces concern, only triangle related/red leather) As for the big black one that is underneath, I think you can go ahead, if it is anything like the old one! Is there anything you can think of regarding the fitment in the back? I haven't seen any images in this thread of the back from the old one!

Welcome to the FISD Jeffrey! I think shooting for Centurion is an awesome thing to do, and a lot of fun as well! Those requirements are abeolutely easiest to achieve when having them in mind in your build from day 1, for example I had to cut off my sniper knee with a knife to adjust the position for Centurion, and if I had put in on myself the right way from the beginning that would of course have been a lot easier! Glad to have you!!

Sorry if I'm not helping at all Just trying to contribute the with what I can to move it forward! Feel totally free to dismiss it!

From a design perspective (thinking from the developers POV), it would make sense if they designed it to reuse as many measurements as possible, so if you could just try to use the same distance as you have at #1 (the distance between the black and red leather around the neck) on #2 (the top of the triangle shape, making the black area at the top have the same distance), and on #3 minimize the distance to the edge a bit?

I have played around with triangles and pasted a non-slanted triangle on one of the reference photos where it is pointing basically at the camera (minimum distortion), and I was just thinking if you need a triangle ratio to go on, this could help! I think what you have right now may be a little too slanted, compared to the screenshots I've seen, what do you think? I know that the triangle needs to be a little slanted just because of where it is located, and I know that the bottom of the triangle follows the bottom curve of the circle shape, and the top of the triangle is cropped, and right now it may be juuust a little too slanted by the looks of the blueprint you've made, but then again I don't know how the fabric will bend and stuff, so perhaps if you cut out your shape on the paper and place it on your body it would show a little more clearly if what you have now is good or not? I also noticed that the left side of the triangle (the outside) has a smaller black area than the bottom side, and in your blueprint it pretty much looked like you had the same size all around, is that correct?

I think that this is a great approach, to hold for feedback, especially considering the amount of time and money you're putting into it! We all want the same thing in the end!

Congratulations Centurion #530! Great job Tyler, this is an outstanding achievement!

Looks fantastic!!

Hello Jonathan! We're so glad to have you back! What kit do you intend to build?

Hello Jason and congratulations!! Just how excited are you? How does it feel?

That's awesome!

Oooh them lines look CRISP! Like deep fried porg nuggets!

Hi Vincent! It looks like the attachés (helpers/FISD representatives) of your Garrison (Empire City Garrison) are located about a 3h 30min/4h car drive from you, and will most likely be unable to help out physically! Since you are in the same Garrison, I'll ping them here to see if they perhaps know someone from/close to your area, or would be able to help! Empire City Garrison Allan @allan1313 East L.I., Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan ANH-S/ESB/HWT Steve @starsaber25 East Long Island ANH-S/ANH-H/ESB, GML, DCoG When it comes to online help, everyone here on the forum are here to assist you in any way we can! Most people here have taken on the daunting task of building the armor themselves, and with their experience comes sound advice and tips and recommendations! Build thread Most people start a build thread, in which they post images of their current progress, and can ask for example: "Should I cut here at this line? What do you think would be best?", and when our people on the forum sees the image attached to the post with the proposed cut line, they can determine if it looks good or not to cut! So if you want a head start on your build Start a build thread! Available hours We have people all over the world in pretty much all time zones, so there is always someone online!

That is my dream project! Would be so cool to have!

Congratulations Chris! I am very confident that you'll do an amazing job for our Detachment as DL, and you have everything you need and more in your DXO, with the all experience and knowledge that Andrew comes with! Let's do this together!

Ahaha Lil' Nairy I hope it sticks as a nickname for the little guy! In my experience, just paint paint paint in thin layers, and eventually you'll end up with something cool! My first plan was to just do it with a brush at home to practice, but I went over to @Coil because he has an airbrush and some skills to teach me! My goal is to be able to quote Vader in the end: "When I left you I was but the lerner, now I am the master!"

Me and @Coil finally started painting the 3d print that I got from the people who did my scan! All the shadows as you see them are painted on! Gonna look awesome when it is done!

How's this going Daniel? I'm so excited to see where you're at! I dare you to completet it for Comic Con 2024!

Great news! Congratulations, and welcome to the ranks!

Congratulations Justin!

The alignments look solid! Good work so far! Also, this is your life now - I presume?

Hello and welcome to the FISD Leia! We suggest that you start a build thread if you haven't done so already, so that we can follow along with the progress of your build, and answer any questions you may have regarding fitments and the like! Take a look at some of them that are there already, as they can give valuable insight into the process! How excited are you? Do you have all the parts already?

With risk of being very childish here, if you could get away with it, which one would you choose? (Featuring TK-10551 of the Swedish Garrison)

They look so smoooth

Wohoo! That's awesome, congrats on taking the first big step into this crazy hobby!
