New ROTJ Build in New York!

Recommended Posts

First build for the 501st!   Going good,  Phase I (trimming) completed.   Starting Phase II Fitting/Gluing next.    Phase III will be riveting and strapping.  Moving slow so i get everything spot on from the start.   Excellent work and help from TM,  highly recommended!

Advice needed!<br><br>

Getting a slight gap between the chest and ab, probably due to my 6'1" height. First instinct would be to lower the chest plate from where it's riveted to the shoulder straps. Any/all suggestions welcome.

Did you already connect the back plate?  If you haven't then you could always reshape the shoulder bridges a little to make them more "flat."  This will help the chest come down a little.  Also don't forget you can add some elastic straps from the chest to the ab to help pull it down a little.

What Steve said. Also what I had to do with mine was reshape the shoulders on the backplate so that it is less curved. This should allow you to slide the chest and back down a little.

Hey, where did you get this trimming?

Yep. What TM said.  The trim is exclusive to the ROTJ build though, if you want 501st approval. Different design on all the leg/arm pcs, bells, belt, helmet and more. 

Are you doing an ROTJ suit?
