Check out how RS props builds theirs since to my knowledge they more replicate the original build. They have a very different system compared to what's above and what most people use. It's more rivets and hooks than snaps like the movies. But if you want to troop that system will break very easily (also just like the movies). You can see a lot here in this gallery https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/album/78-more-rs-suit/

If you're referring to the snaps behind the belt I used line 24 snaps to attach the snaps to the ab armor. To attach the plastic belt to the cloth I glued in some chicago screws in case I need to replace it but other troopers use rivets. The movies used rivets but it's a more permanent solution. (there are two more chicago screws under the white elastic)

I just punched a hole through the shoulder elastic with regular line 24 snaps. That should be pretty standard

I know that feeling! And guess what, that feeling hasn't left me after 15 troops. It's so cool to be the iconic stormtrooper. Kids and families love it too. I also have a Walt kit. If you have any fitting questions let us know! Hope to see your around and welcome

Looking back I mentioned that you may want to move your belt over so that it's centered on the raised edge of your lower ab armor. Looking at some other builds many troopers out there have it centered on your ab plate buttons as you have here. You might be ok not adjustting your belt after all. However it does still appear to be off to your right (picture's left) by looking at the dropbox locations. If anyone has any alignment opinions I'm curious to know your thoughts

You've come to the right place. Back in April I knew nothing about a TK but I went from a box of plastic to centurion in a few months so it definitely can be done. That All In One guide posted above was my go to. Once all the armor was organized I just researched part by part and referenced some builds to figure out what to do. If you end up going with the pre built RS I can say that they are a good kit. I liked building my own both for the knowledge and also I could fit it to my body perfectly. Also i went with ANH Stunt purely because that's how I envision a TK when I think of one. The ESB is great too i'm just partial to the grey frown over black but that's just me

Congrats! I hope you enjoy the journey to EIB/Centurion. I certainly did. Can't wait to see your next steps forward

Looking forward to your build post. There is a wealth of knowledge here on how to help. The good news with all the SDS modifications is that you'll become very knowledgeable about the look of a TK after all the adjustments are made

For the gaps in the back I used white Sugru. It got me through my EIB approval
