Hi Andrew and welcome to FISD.

 

You and your friends did a great  work with your ATA kit. 

 

Overall you look good for basic approval, I don't see something that could stop you brother. for a better look I would suggest to make a little adjustment to your Shoulder Bells and AB belt.

 

1-Left Shoulder Bell, as you can see bellow, your right one looks perfect, the left one would need a strapping adjustment (shorten) to close the gap between the Chest Plate and Shoulde bell.   additional, you could trim the return edge of the shoulder bells (more accurate) to get the closer.

Another easy fix that can give you a better looking Trooper is about your ABS Ab belt, The ends of the belt are very straight and you could apply a hot water bath or (carefully) use a heat gun to increase the curvature.

  In case you want to go for higher levels (EIB and Centurion) there are some twerks that you would need to do.

 

Good luck and looking forward for your TK ID

Nice work, a couple of tweaks you could look at

Try to have your shoulder bells with the same gaps, your left has a gap. Kidney appears to be sticking outwards on sides, adding a tab system can help

 

 

A couple of threads on side sticking out

Here's another using magnets

 

Shoulder tabs could be central on rear. You could adjust your armor for rear photo, pull in your shoulder bells  Can see one shoulder bell elastic strap on left but the right appears to have popped above your bicep. You may also want to add a little more foam inside your helmet, it is sitting on top of your shoulders and will make turning your head a little difficult

 

Gap on kidney to ab is a little large, check with your GML in regards to approval, some like to see very little gap and it's a higher levels requirement.

Brow trim ends a little long

   

 

Paint rivets white on your thigh ammo strip. Cut off excess belt, normally belt stops under or on the end of the detonator . Note: your chestplate has come up and slipped behind ab plate.

                  

 

You have a lot of gap between the ridges on your armor (shins) between the ridges and coverstrips, again this is something to speak with your GML about, some don't like big gaps, some it isn't an issue. You could also bend your plastic belt section to curve your ab, notice the ends are sticking outwards and will catch on your arms.

Also even out gaps between your forearms and biceps, no gap on your right side but a gap on left side.

Thighs could come up a touch, will allow better gap and movement at knees

 

A tad too much paint on your teeth, should not be on the gums: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. 

 

Shoulder strap not quite held down on front. Black line around ear bumps is a little thick and rounded

     

 

As I say a few tweaks and you should be fine, but definitely check with your GML on some of the items mentioned
