Oh yuck

That looks good, brother. No real standard (right/wrong) here. It's all about comfort.

A couple things I noticed if I may chime in. I haven't seen an updated pic of your face on the helmet, but the first one needs much more taken out of the tooth openings. You have done well on your biceps and forearms. I would take more out of the top of the forearm half with the square indent ridge. It will make a little more room and may take a bit off the overall length. As for your shins, you can still take more off the bottom. You can also cut a curve (arch)in both the front and the rear at the seam. The shin cannot fall lower than the point it hits the front top of your boot. Make a curve(arch) at the seam that will allow your shin to stop to a more comfortable height. Almost no one has ever trimmed out their ears before joining the face with the cap. You need to be certain your face joins with the cap properly before moving on to your ears. The brow trim must be tight across the face. Once the face is attached and the brow is tight and even above the eyes(it doesn't have to be perfectly level, just even and located where you are happy with it) then you move onto the ears. Hopefully the one you have already trimmed still fits.

I have a counter I am willing to part with. PM me and I can shoot you pics if you want

MuhAhahahaha!!!!

Who is gonna cover their front lawn with these this holiday season?? Improvementscatalog.com

If I were you, I'd make another one that duplicates the one you did. Just leave out the hole that leads from the mag housing into the main receiver.

You do have an option with your current helmet. You have not made any permanent installations on the inside of your lid that would prevent you removing the ear screws to install "Hero" ears. The paint on your frown is not permanent either. Your ABS pate work on your side shims was fantastic! Witch care, you can glue a backer to the tooth you cut out and fill the rest with ABS paste, sand and polish it.

Looks fantastic so far!

Nope. Sorry to say, it is a costume malfunction. After two films, these costumes were stretched to their limits and beginning to break down. rRemember that the drop boxes were attached only by a loop of elastic. Unless another picture shows more than two (which it won't) this drop box just slid over out of position. Is that gaffers tape connecting the chest and back?

Learn from here young man!

yes

You're not doing anything wrong. Helmets, unfortunately, are not puzzle pieces. Take a look at the build thread I provided above. It will answer your questions with pics better than I can describe it.

Currently there are no 100% Centurion, out of the box, blasters. Though Sci-Fire(Hyperfirm) is most complete, it still needs a "D" ring. Unless that has changed.

It looks like you still have a bit to trim out of the eyes. There is a mold line that you look like you have marked. Trim up to that line.

Hey Sven: As has already been mentioned, you have an impressive collection of weapons. It is always a pleasure to see another set of RS armor. So let's take a look at yours!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been posted. Thank you also for sharing your trooping adventures! It's nice to see a set of armor in action!! Very well constructed and a fine overall job! Your armor meets all the requirements so with that I would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry!!! Note: Sven's original pictures show his suit with much more than the required 1/2 inch maximum gap on the side seams which is something not allowed by EIB standards. However, he also posted pics lower in the thread showing his weight loss and the improved look of the armor on him. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: This is the section where your fellow troopers and myself give suggestions to improve the overall look/accuracy of your armor. These are just suggestions that do not have an effect on your applications. First off, I want to congratulate you on your weight loss! This was an incredible accomplishment that completely changed the overall look of your armor on you. Well done!!! You have done a great job so I don;t have too much to mention other than dabbing some white paint on the bracket screws and maybe changing out the "cross head" screws for black slotted screws on your thermal detonator. Another suggestion is to get some thin, black wires for the t-tracks on your DLT-19 as seen here: Centurion Suggestions: The first thing that will need to be fixed is the gap between your kidney and your back plate. The gap here should be close to nothing. Second, the straps on your holster seem a little long. They should be right around 25mm between the belt and the holster. Third is an issue that comes up here a lot. Your weight loss needs to be celebrated and if you decide to continue to lose more this will be easy! I am talking about the hardware locations on your side seams. The left side rivets and right side male snap should be close to 10 MM in from the seam itself. If you decide to continue your weight loss, you just need to trim the extra plastic here: on your left, and here: on your right. However, if you are not planning on this, I would like to see the hardware in the proper locations on your left here: and on your right here: Congratulations again on your accomplishments!!! You should be proud!!! \

You can use general vinyl screen door mesh or a heavier pet resistant mesh. Either one can be permanently bonded with strategic drops of superglue

I wouldn't necessarily rush too be armor maker just because they offer a pre assembled helmet. Every single person here was in your shoes. In my opinion, the ones who jumped in feet first and built their suit from top to bottom are far more satisfied. You can look in the mirror and say...."I did that!" "I built this!" The information to accomplish that is here. Hundreds gave done this before you. We have your back. As for specifics....for your body, RT would indeed get too big. AP, TM, RS Props would look best on you in my opinion.

Take your time and have fun!

Very, very, cool!

Dry erase marker?

I can't wait to build one of these! Some day! Maybe it's just me, but the black outlines of the tears and trapezoids on the originals were not thick. I would thin these out just a bit. The vent stripes on the rear traps should be in the same trapezoid formation as the trap itself. Not all parallel. You are doing an awesome job so far!! Can't wait to see the rest.
