Awesome as always, Luca

It was amazing! Always a very special event for most of us. And, yes, there were a lot of TK's And thank you @BAZINGA, glad to hear that [58] 23.09.2023 -- Family Day at VW Global HQ, Wolfsburg, Day 1 Since this might be my last troop for the next few months I was determined to make the most of it. We entered the factory premises early in the morning after a security check and were shown to our changing room next to the photo studio. Alongside eight troopers from the German Garrison, VW had invited another eight costumers from a local club. To cover the whole area we were split into four groups with different troop times. So as the first group (pictured above) started, we, the second 501st group, got to tour one of the factories out of armor. Afterwards we headed back and got changed into costume an hour early, anticipating a delay in getting to our post due to the crowds outside. As it turned out, we had naively underestimated the crowds. It took us nearly 3.5 hours to get to our post, at which point our 2 hour shift was over and we managed the 600 meters back to the changing room in a record time of 1.5 hours. All along the way we were stopped for pictures, never managing more than a few meters before being crowded again. This was the only picture I managed to take during the troop. Next to me is TK-56347 with whom I trooped the whole day as a group of two (we'd early on found out that as a group of four we would move even slower). After we got back to the changing room we took a couple of pictures in the photostudio. Later that day I found out that there had been about 40000 visitors that day. [59] 24.09.2023 -- Family Day at VW Global HQ, Wolfsburg, Day 2 place holder for group picture Having learned our lesson from the previous day, we started off in private, using the photostudio to its fullest extent. This day we were only five troopers from the 501st, but we were an amazing group to troop with. Then we braved the crowds. This time around we didn't even try to get far from the changing room and instead got to participate in a few of the activities nearby. I got a perfect score in hockey, missed all my shots at the football goal and danced along to the music playing. Of course we also got a picture with the DFB (German Football/Soccer Club) mascot. We went on to taking even more pictures with visitors. One kid even had a Lego StarWars figure with him because he had heard that there'd be Stormtroopers at the event. All in all, it was a really fun, but exhausting event. I hope we'll get to troop this again in the future -- but with twice as many troopers. TK-66744 signing off

I have been approved.

#25 Day 2 at Acme Comic con was another successful troop for the Imperial Scottish Garrison, Rebel Legion and Droids of Scotland. Everyone worked so hard to make this a special weekend. Still trying to catch up with myself, it truly was a busy weekend in armour.

I see what you are saying, thanks for the visual aid [emoji106]. Will get back at it. Great thread by the way. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

You may want to read again. Trimming here will allow the gap to be reduced The back plate overlaps the front, which causes a step, adding a cut on the ear's top with help it sit better over this step

The top section is what is holding it outwards and causing the gap. Adding a step to the top piece can help Take a look at this build

Congratulations Trooper !! Welcome to EIB. Felicitaciones Manvi. Bienvenida al nivel Experto de Infantería !!

Congratulations and welcome to Expert Infantry and the EI Honor Gallery

Are nice! Thank you!

Buttons look great, when you paint don't go all the way to the bottom of the button Note: For Level 3 the paint does not extend to the bottom of the actual raised button. Top of the TD looks fine for placement, just make sure you can see the O detail once worn, you may want to straighten the trim line though.

Yeah, I am glad I asked cuz that's not how I would have interpreted that. I will have to take a look more at the pictures when I'm not on my phone. Appreciate it as always I'm going to owe you big time at the end of this! Haha! It is but maybe that's the universe telling me to slow down.

There's always something new to learn, welcome to the dumbs club. I'm the president

Congrats on the 25th!!

Many thanks for the added link, looks good, those lights are great especially the cylon light & love the sound effect's, both fun and very cool, Maybe try a thin wash on the case and see what you think, It could add a little to the fresh out of the academy look and if you didn't like it just wash it off again?

Updated for you Paul, congrats on 25 troops as a TK
