Varies from maker to maker 2) is there an approved way to make the thigh pieces wider? Right now getting both sides closed is almost impossible. Maybe a bigger strip in the back? Any photos of such fixes would be greatly appreciated! Larger cover strip on rear may be allowable, check with your GML as it is up to them if they will approve. If it's too big a gap you may need to add some more material to the sides on the rear. Some links in this thread: Third bonus question: for the strips that seem the armor together, is there a specific width they should be? I saw a pic from someone’s post using 15mm but I haven’t seen that written anywhere. Forearms and biceps 15mm Thighs and shin front 20mm Shin rear 25mm You are amazing! That was exactly what I was looking for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

References, note the small gap of white between teeth and gums I touched up the paint, there is now a toothpicks width between the gray and white plastic on all sides. Also I did my best to clean up the voicecoder. Let me know what you think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemi[Staff] Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Yeah, nice work Perhaps, I would remove a little more paint on the center tooth, but only because my OCD wouldn't let me have a line that wasn't straight Keep up the good work, Wil ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I’ll keep it since they all have a perfect gap of one toothpick head and unfortunately as we all know these bad boys have nothing symmetrical about them. This project really attacks my OCD… but that’s probably a good thing! :’) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No film will ever be the same as you will now look for all the details, errors, and any variation between different stormtroopers! It's exciting! My favorite error is in ESB when a stormtrooper has one of their bicep pieces rotated 180 degrees from its proper position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
