Looks great Jonathan, in my opinion leave it as it, actually it is not noticeable and it would be covered by the holster. i would wait till the final test with all the armor.

Congratulations Trooper, just a few fixes and Go for the next goal !!! Centurion .

ANH and ESB helmets are very similar. you may want to check this section too

Yes Rob, as Glen pointed , don't trim or made any change till you have tested with boots. At the end you can trim the bottom section, (never the top), of the shins . Cheers

Hi Avery, Welcome to FISD. As you have said, (trial run) this is a good start point to learn the basic for a Helmet build. take your time and revew the info Glenn pointed , you may want to open a build thread , post photos and receive some feedback here. Good luck. Cheers

Welcome to FISD , good luck with your project.

Hi Alex. Congratulations for your GA to 501st Transition. Additional to the close up photo of your helmet teeth requested, could you add the following photos please? 1- Photo of the helmet "S" trim 2- Close photo of forearms wrist. Thanks

Hi Matt , welcome to FISD, looking forward for you build thread . Good luck. The clue for a happy finish project: "Measure twice or more, read the crl, look for reference photos and Glue once" Cheers

Hi Rob, could you please post some photos?

Good luck Christopher, looking forward for your build thread,

Wow!! Amazing , Congratulations

Don't forget: " Measure twice or more, always look for the reference images and glue once"

Great !!

for the small one you can trim a bit more and let square corners not round.

It's almost right that way, but You could trim,(or just sand) , a 1mm more, but be sure to let some edge as the reference .

You could trim a little more. I Highly recommend to read the crl but check for reference photos. You can see the Gallery Section Cheers

For this first stage of trimming and return edges, You may want to check this Post , I think it can be useful .

Hi Gaz, welcome to FISD. Great to know you're starting your project !! Feel free to post photos and ask questions. I highly recommend for your project to read carefully the CRL of the TK you're going to build, and as many reference Photos as you can. Looking forward for your advances. Cheers

Congratulations Trooper !!

Welcome to FISD Liam, looking forward for your BBB day.

25 spots and counting down . Last approved EIB Caleb (TK84095)

Hi Caleb, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armour. Let's start from top. The brow trim of your helmet, as you can see in the reference photos, should be a little shorter. This is a very easy and fast adjustment, just be careful to do it little by little so as not to cut too much. Reference Images As you can see, the gap between your bicep and forearm is quite a bit smaller than the gap between the forearm and wrist. If you're able to drop the forearms a bit, it will help you look your best. Reference Images Moving on we have the Han-snap. It should be ideally in the top corner, currently yours is to far in and it's suggested to be moved. Reference Images Ideally, the screws of the Thermal detonator sit closer to the end of the clips. This is not a big deal and would involve replacing the clips. We consider it's worth mentioning. Reference Images As you can see, this is just a dressing issue to take care of , the left thigh is a little up and looks misaligned, Easy fix. Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. I have followed your armor build thread and I know the great work and dedication you had invested, amazing mate! In my own experience, although one tries to make everything perfect there's always a detail here and there. Looking at your front view submitted photo , we noticed that the the brow trim is riding entirely too high over the trap on the left side. We think you may be able to lower it to align and glue it in place. Reference Images Your Shoulder-Chest connection look quite good, but there is still some gap, especially at the top of the bells. You can tighten the strapping holding the bells on to bring them as close to the chest and back as possible and this will allow then to align better. Reference Images In most of the photos the drop boxes line up perfectly with the ends of the ABS belt, but you may want to add some E-6000 to the straps in the back to prevent them from shifting. Reference Images Finally brother, we noticed a small gap in the rear of your thighs. The left one is close enough, but for the right one , you could add an ABS shim behind the lower ridge to cover that gap (or fill it with ABS paste). Reference Image And here we finish Caleb, again congratulations for being part of the EIB 1000 and for such great set of armor you have built. Don't stop here Trooper, I have full confidence that you can do the fixes and go to Centurion Level!!! Pura Vida! ***************************************************

Great work with the thighs and shins fitting !!

Hi Pat, welcome to FISD. I would recommend to take a look to the following forum section about Armor Types. Cheers
