I did - the first time the rivet pulled through it was actually on the canvas side. This time the rivet just broke.

Twice I've had the pop rivet holding the plastic belt to the canvas belt pull through or break - the latter as I was getting suited up for a troop this morning. (Luckily a Garrison mate had white duct tape handy to hold it in place during the troop - screen accurate!) Are there sturdier alternatives to the pop rivets? Maybe Chicago screws?

Nice work! One potential issue is that the drop boxes should be aligned with the end of the belt. I don't know if it's just the perspective, but yours look like they are a little off.

You're a star, Daetrin! Thank you!

Same - pending here. TK 19233.

Wow, congrats #800!

Just bought a KB kit from a Garrison buddy and will be studying this thread carefully. Thanks for taking the time to put so much detail in!

Nice work! Great to see more WTF kits reaching EIB and Centurion. Speaking of Centurion, I'm not 100% sure it's specified in the CRL, but the white elastic holding down your shoulder straps looks big - I believe 1/8" is screen-accurate. Don't know if it will matter for Centurion or not.

For height, I trimmed it similarly to the belt - a couple mm above and below boxes. For length, I essentially eyeballed it by holding and bending the ammo pack against the thigh. (Heat bending it first might help.) Since the length depends on the circumference of the bottom of your thigh piece, even if I did have measurements, yours would be almost guaranteed to be different. Just be sure that it's pretty tight against the thigh and it should be ok. As for the Velcro, still holding up great, but it's only been 3 months and 3 troops. I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually had to replace it, but I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. Hope this helps!

Congrats, David!

Wow nice work! I'm really impressed with your repairs. Also this feedback is coming late, and it's just personal preference, but your ears seem a bit thick to me. Reference photos here: http://starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-Stunt-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm

Teeth look good to me!

Saw your official welcome on the GGG member page. Looking forward to trooping together!

Congrats!!

For your biceps, do you have anything keeping them up? A lot of people make bicep hooks; I connected mine to the shoulder bells via elastic and snaps.

Looking good! Your shins do seem to be riding a bit higher than mine, but not egregiously so: re: the thighs, a lot of people stick foam in various places of their armor to make it fit better. If it helps, the thighs don't look too big, even though they may feel that way. Having just gone through the approval process with the GGG in October, I'm guessing Adam (our GML) might mention the potential pinch/armor bite points at the tops of your thighs: So maybe just have whoever's helping you with your submission photos be aware of that, and try to even out the spacing for the photos. Submission photos aside, you may want to adjust the strapping or do a bit of trimming just for mobility. Can you walk okay? Go up/down stairs? As far as dressing yourself, I can put my entire kit on myself - the hardest bits are connecting all the snaps between my right ab/kidney, and snapping both shoulder bells on. And, as you said, getting the belt straight can be a challenge. It gets a bit easier with practice, but on troops you'll also have your handlers/other troopers helping you. Anyway, don't think you should have an issue getting approved - don't be distressed if it takes a re-submission or two. Looking forward to trooping together soon!

Congrats!

Here is the thread about the WTF shin pairing: I also did what Paul suggested and paired them up long/long short/short but it probably doesn't matter in the end, as people have been approved with both combinations. Walt actually said he'd redo the shins after a big thread about it on his Facebook page but I imagine he forgot with everything else going on.

I did, but like 68Brick said, it haven't actually used them during a troop. It'd be really hard to get to them. Also, sadly they are slightly too small for trading cards, which is what I had intended to use them for.

Personally I would cut to where your finger is pointing, as the shoulder bell should have a smooth curve there, not any sort of ridge. But TheSwede is right that you can always trim off more. I went with the measurements that Cricket listed in her build - I believe it's 5" from the edge of the ridge to the edge of the bell, and 12" from top to bottom, but you should check in her thread to confirm.

Great start! I would trim a bit more off the teeth, but I think that's more personal preference than a requirement. And yes I'd take a hair more off the top of the helmet so the brow trim aligns better to the bottom of the trap. Btw I also used Google photos to share my build photos and you should be able to get the direct link to the image and paste it into your posts and it will get converted to an embedded image.

Nice build, Andrew! Crazy that the same kit can fit me (5' 3") and you (5' 11") I'm wondering if you might need to change your ab shims; it's hard to tell but the CRL says that for EIB they can have visible seams but they should be flush. Yours look like they might be sitting under the ab/kidney. Also this is definitely due to your height, but in some of the photos it looks like the bottom of the chest might be slipping slightly under the top of the ab.

Update: approved for Centurion! https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43656-tk-19233-requesting-anh-stunt-centurion-status-wtf-367/

Nice progress! And I'm a little late on feedback, but your biceps look like they're riding a tad low in that pic from the end of Nov. Most importantly you should be able to remove and put on your helmet by yourself, and it looks like that might be tough with the way they're sitting right now. And for torso fitting, the way I did it is to fit the ab and kidney together as a clamshell, then do the chest/back. The top of the ab/kidney should be aligned, so you'll want to be sure those are sized correctly before strapping everything together. When everything's fitting correctly, the entire torso comes together as kind of a big puzzle piece.
