I would avoid ebay sellers, ones that regularly sell on the site. But every once and awhile you may come across armor that was 501st approved and complete.
Its decent. Good starting base for a TD.

I have a Hero ANH TK just about ready. I just need to add two more fasteners to the holster to make it hero style. It should be an easy pass for EIB. It has decals on the helmet and I don't feel like hand painting all the traps just yet.
I also finished a 'spare' kit for my buddies to troop with me every once and awhile. But I'll mostly likely be posting it up for sale very soon.

I just checked ebay and DoopyDoos is selling their kits.

New members only, as it always has been. That does not mean however that you should be discouraged from making them anyway in order to keep up to date.
I was going to ask if there were any actions to be taken on current members who are not up to par with current CRLs . . . but then I read Mathias response.
Are you sure current members are not required to update their costumes? I'm a stickler for screen accuracy and there are quite a few TKs in my garrison who are rocking plastic belts and one piece back and butts. So if I approach them, as our garrison's GML, and explain the updated CRLs and they tell me to "take a hike" I should just leave it at that?

10 years with LucasArts wow! I'm sorry about that closure. We're looking forward to having you join us in a set of your own white armor.

Yep. Boots after the shins
-
Nice idea with the key & slots for the leg closure. That should work out.

I installed stirrups in my calves. I basically hot glued a piece of black elastic two thirds down my calves, enough to accommodate the height of my boots. Sort of like this baseball sock

My calve armor never rides up the tops of boots now.

Yes those were on display at Star Wars Celebration V. At Celebration VI they used Clonetrooper helmets I believe.

Whose ears are those? CAP also?

Awesome. Are all the details hand painted?

Is that you as Mara Jade, Ingrid? You look great!
I haven't been able to go to WonderCon since they moved it away from the Bay Area plus they have it during Easter weekend.
-
Well you got the blaster and neck seal right. Lets work on that armor
You don't have any problem putting on and removing the helmet with those size gauges in your ears

All that strapping stuff you should be able to find at a fabric store like Joanns: webbing buckles, velcro, thread, belt fabric, foam padding, elastic, snaps, e6000, etc. I only needed Home Depot and Lowes for spray paint and the aluminum bar for my canister.

Anyone else think the helmet tube stripes are too straight? They look straight with a slight bend to them. All the ones I've seen are more curved like the reference picture below.

I have yet to see a screen accurate or 501st acceptable pepakura Stormtrooper. I do not have "unlimited funds". I know how to save my money for the things I want.

Get in contact with the Golden Gate Garrison, they are there to assist you.

Looks good so far.
I used the first set of split rivets (the shorter ones) on my last armor build. Those really are short inner arm pieces. I think it looks fine as it is right now though. It'll help you when you need to bend your arms. I've had my fair share of armor pinch in that area.
You're such a good employee to build that for your boss

These?
Yeah, those are probably the ones he's talking about. Definitely need to change the elastic portion. Overall $95 + 50 for those boots
You couldn't find black ones with the correct elastic and paint those? Definitely cheaper that route but hey he got it done

The return edge on the left side of the chest piece looks rather thick. The lighting could be distorting the image but it looks thicker than the right side. The bottom of the chest piece looks thick too. Too thick for my taste but it shouldn't prevent you from getting approved. I'm a GML, I'd accept you
