Impressive work on the helmet especially. That’s got to be a beast to work with.

Not sure if you can, but if screws are the worry maybe a hardware store has new screws you could pick up?

Oof that’s nasty, but good work so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can also grab some black abs sheets from amazon that work well. That’s how I did it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking great. With your thigh glue areas you mentioned I really don’t see tons that would get in the way of approval. Overall it looks solid. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Biggest thing I found with my cod was just trimming to what looked right initially and then I made some slight adjustments after doing some tests walking in it. But what you have marked looks like a good starting point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Almost there! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So far progress looks good for basic approval for sure. Even higher levels looks like you are doing well towards making it easier to achieve those too. Keep up the good work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Clones just need more hobbies. Seems they have too much time to make more CRLs lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hello There! Glad to have you here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can’t quite tell for sure on the pictures, but like Glen said, the shins may be on backward. There’s a specific curvature to most kits shins. You can see above how the inner shin has more of a dip inward in the curve following the natural calve muscle. The outer shin has more of a natural curve from top to bottom following the natural curvature of your calve/shin as well. Just worth double checking that. You can trim some of the return edge off. I wouldn’t trim all of it. Here’s mine for example prior to glue and sanding: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you are aiming for higher levels, you’ll want to double check measurements as there’s very detailed sizes and distances of measurements for EIB and Centurion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Either way you can always at this point change to go one way or another. If you cut out 8 and were going for a hero at least you can still go with stunt (this is the most common trooper as is and very recognizable) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah…that’s when I gave up painting armor for the mandalorian. I didn’t want to build a full paint studio just for one armor. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just use some e6000 with clamps. Let it sit with the clamps in place for 48-72 hours before attempting any opening and bending of sorts. the glue will hold it very well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep so long as people don’t whisper i hear fine too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just don’t go beyond the ridge, but yes its ok. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve seen some people who have bought prescription lenses and then they glue them or mount them into the helmet behind the plastic lenses. It’s possible to do, just something worth considering. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome to the FISD. Even if you don’t wear contacts your vision is quite limited in the FOTK armor. TBH I could see shapes well enough that I for a long time just went pretty blind with handlers until I could do contacts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just finished my DDD kit and it’s fantastic. Now just need to find time to make the basic mods I need to get EIB and Centurion. Having a newborn slowed me down, but shouldn’t be too rough. I recommend if you aren’t thinking so, working toward centurion as his kits are pretty solid for getting there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Even having researched I know each build at first tends to overwhelm me, but usually my first action is to inventory the pieces I have in the kit and then decide which part to start on. Once I get that then it’s pretty much on rails until completion. Looking forward to your progress. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah, definitely trim the overhang, but I’d recommend not trimming any more than that until you get further along and can do more proper sizing and then trim for fitting if needed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Paint work is looking great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
