I’m making my first jacket. Does everyone sew on patches or iron them on? I would guess sew, in case we want to swap them out or reposition them.

Yeah, any help you might need for your Vader build, I’m here and also very active on the SLD. I also make screen accurate belts and Saber Clips for most of the Vaders there

What I’m looking for is Centurion level approval, I guess, but I guess you don’t need ultimate screen-accuracy for that? I mean, if AM is fan-sculpt, it may not have all of the particular lumps and bumps of the screen lineage suits/helmets, correct? I guess it’s like Vader, you can get level 3 approval with a fan-sculpt bookface helmet and armor. I think the guidance I’m looking for right now is…do I need to try to look at pictures of finished suits from the different builders on the approved builders list, or do I just pick one and go based on price or screen-lineage or not? Being unaccustomed to every aspect of the TK suit, At this point I’m just blinded by WHITE, lol.

Thank you, Caleb! So I’m assuming you would recommend Dave as my go-to armor? I think he has a new run coming up. Should I also use him for my helmet?

Hey, all! New to the white armor, but not the 501st. I’m an approved ESB Vader, but I’m looking to build a TK next, so I’m excited to get going and get some guidance from all you fine folks! I’m 5’11” (not the tallest Vader ) and 185, so pretty average build, I think. I already PM’d Dave Conklin at the advice of someone on one of the Facebook groups, and I’m wondering if AM Armor is good for Centurion level approval. Any direction or suggestions are appreciated, thanks! Matt
