Ears look fine to me, I would put the screws in and see how that affect things, as you say it will help pull things together. Take that pic from a few feet away as you are looking at someones elses TK and not your own and I’m sure you will feel more pleased with your work From a little distance those minor gaps will look more like shadows around the ears While I’m at it, perhaps you plan to revisit the eyes but if not, I would be inclined to trim them some more

Glen is correct, Centurion is the higest level and it needs to be shown. Now…as Glen said the D.Os might be ok with it but as a former D.O myself I would have asked for new photos. Good luck

It’s possible and often used to shorten the cod/ab plate so suit shorter Troopers. Usually it’s fused back to solid though. Some keep it ” loose and some make the mod to get some mobility. I wouldn’t though as for me I want the feel of the original suit. A moving codpiece takes it away, atleast for me and not sure it will look as good as a solid one either.

That makes it heavily implied though, especially If you are new to the whole thing. Just something to consider.

Awesome! Best of luck

Chris has some interesting files so I for one are interested/curious to see how this will turn out. It does have some features though that reminds me of old FX armor, approvable but not that accurate. Looking at the helmet I feel hesitant it will look good enough in printed form to be approvable. But hey, you’ll never know and if it’s just a helmet you’ll be needing to complete this project there are plenty options out there. Haven’t heard of anyone trying this before so you might be a pioneer Good luck!

Notch is not required , it was present on the original armor but for Centurion it’s optional

You can, fill in the notch with a piece of abs and cover the seam with abs paste which basicly is dissolved bits of abs in acetone. Or you can try this option: You got this

All I can say is, to alligne the armor that way is not how it’s supposed to be. I think Glen meant the same but his photos wasn’t the best to show this. Look att the ones I included, it’s of the original armor.

To bad that this wasn’t caught early on but…fill in the notch with some abs and fill the seam and you should be alright, there’s almost always a fix for a problem

Not sure I fully understod the drawings but….with the original armor, this is how the armor is supposed to line up.

That should do it

Not to start a discussion but, Hamil was closer to 5’7 and that according to himself. At 5’9 there wouldn’t be any need for that extra trimming they did on both the chest and back piece.

Plastic weld works really well in bonding coverstrips on armor, pretty much all my suits are built that way and years in are solid as a rock

Hi If it were me I’d trim a bit more

From the looks of things it doesen’t seem you need to trim for hight. Good to hear you have found Christine’s thread already, I will ”ping her” for you @Cricket

Oh! Also, start your own build-thread and help will be plenty

Hi Can’t answer for were the links you mention take you but…all you really need to build your own kit are the many builds found here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

Amen to that! Come 2022 we actually might have a First order battle group worthy of the name here on the forum

Wasn’t the Anovos-helmets priced pretty much at the $600-700 mark as well? Armor-wise I’m pretty sure it will be the $1000 range it was before. Anyway, all I’m really bothered with is us getting our armor we are owed

Can’t help to start getting excited

I would leave it alone unless you really and I mean really really want to go full-accuracy, given if the discrepencies you pointed out are correct. I would send my GML pics of the helmet just to be sure and ask but I doubt it will be denied approval or even L2/L3 (Ask the DO:s about that) Good luck with the build

I would do both, some original armor below to help you decide
