Welcome to FISD David! Congratulations on finally becoming a 501st Stormtrooper! We don't see a lot of ESB troopers, what an excellent choice! Are you happy with your build? Would be awesome to see some photos!

Wow that is really night and day compared to before!

Awesome application!!!

Congratulations #1084!!!

Welcome to the ranks, Centurion #535!

Joseph is not on the forum anymore!

I think you look fantastic, the details so far are amazing! The only thing I thought of was the positioning of the leather fabric details, if you could try and get the angles we see? Bad image from he here, but something I thought of: to move out the starting point of the diamond-stiched pieces to create a larger gap as we see in the image, the same with the two pieces under it (move them out a little from each other, and have more of an angle that makes them go more straight down), and possibly a sharper V in the center piece It lookes like it can help with the look as well if you had larger biceps, both a bit wider but mostly longer, since the gap between the biceps and forearms is a bit more than what we see on screen! (alternatively larger shoulder bells, in that case you should just be able to move the biceps down a bit) That's the only thing I saw (although I of course agree with the R1 shins overlapping the other way around, I didn't think of it at first), and you should really be proud of what you have done so far!

Didn't see anything regarding the ab plate mentioning R1, but isn't it just an R1 ab?

Would this work? I drew it like it's seen from above Plate Velcro strip Direction The blue arrow would indicate that it could go flush with the left side! Some velcro strip on the backside of the printed seam on the left (which it looks like you have already?) If you are able to bend it a bit it should be able to close up! If you don't want to have a strip going all the way along the right side then maybe a small portion in the top and one in the bottom (where it is the most bendable)

This sounds weird but I'll just say it anyways to have it said: Shouldn't the print close up exactly where the cut next to the big strip is?

Oh a Vader, most impressive! Out of curiosity, how tall are you?

Bad image but I think you know what I mean

You could add a strip on the inside of the side that doesn't have the strip attached to it! Just put velcro under the strip and some velcro on the strip you added! Do you think that could work?

Sorry to hear that! Great thing to clean up those teeth, it's a really easy and quick and satisfying job to do, I think so at least hehe! Do you have EIB in mind perhaps?

Here we go!!!

Yeeeees congratulations brother!!

Hello Richard, and welcome to this crazy awesome hobby! Most of all welcome to whitearmor! I'd suggest looking through the list of Attachés to see if you have one in your area - if not then the closest one can for sure help you get started at least! I concur with Glen, going to the UK Garrison forum would also be good!

Either wipe down after a troop, or do not sweat at troops!

Putting something inside your helmet to help with dampening the sound (making it not bounce as much) could help. When it comes to the fan air blowing ofc a puffy mic protector will help, and lastly changing positions of the fans (alternatively lubricate them or swap out to quieter ones), that's all I can think of

Best of luck brother!

@Lafleur Enjoy your new banner and profile photo Daniel!

How smooth was your shoulder sanded before? Looking good though so far! Nice work overall and the helmet is looking really cool!

The link is broken! Also, sounds very.. sketchy?
