TK17058 is (finally) reporting for duty! I've been approved since August and completed my first troop on the first training day with the German Garrison. Thank you very much for your help and tips!
-
Will fix that. Thank you for the info! Didn't noticed hat The next photo shoot will probably be next year (i.e. in 3-6 weeks). Thanks for all your advice so far and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

Need to make new Photos, the pouches looks off. Probably need to take new photos, the pouches aren't quite right. Need to be closer together. I wanted to attach detailed photos to the application (when I take new ones) A friend of mine took the photos and a few more nonsense photos.

After almost 3.5 years I'm ready to wear it for the first time. I was able to get dressed on my own and it still takes a while to get it to fit properly and be able to take photos for the 501st. The knees are attached when everything is in place.

After another Testfit there is still some work to be done on mobility. I was able to dress myself, but the helmet and pauldron are still very tricky. The upper arms slipped while wearing and still need to be properly attached. The plan is to shorten the soft parts so that the Velcro holds better In order to be able to walk stairs / steps better, I still have to cut a little on my right thigh. The belt boxes still need to be positioned correctly and then the layers of the belt are glued together Just see in the pictures that the pauldron is hanging a bit. Is this ok? otherwise I would compensate that with foam on the underside
-
Not much happens this weekend. I received the belt boxes from Dan and shortened the TD. It looks a lot better. last time it was very long The original (KB) compared with the one from Dan ... and sand again next time. Next, get the belt ready and then try everything on again to see how it looks.
-
I cut the top opening and further processed the interior so that the pipe fits better. I closed the end with a scrap of ABS and is about 4 cm long / 1.57 inch I'm still waiting for the belt boxes, they should arrive at the end of next week. Next time I will try everything on and then paint it (if there are no comments or suggestions for improvement). Thank you again for your feedback!

Is the bottom/end of the TD also cut out? Just cut off the cap and front.
-
I'm in contact with the local squad and have adjusted the thighs, the belt pouches and started working on the TD. ... and the "suitcase" for the blasters is ready. The gray pipe is a sewer pipe which I cut open to reduce the radius. The next step is to cut and bevel the gap
-
The two holes are for the shoulder bells, but dont know if I cut on the line and fix them with snaps AB with boxes Biceps shoulder bells I marked where the pauldron would sit Shins front side back Cod is TFA and not the TLJ, will change it later Spats TD TD hoked on the back and fixed with magnets Forearms SE-44C (add red detail later) I hope you can see everything in the pictures.
-
Ok, will do it later when I get home
-
Google Drive Pics I have now first photographed all the parts that I have worked on. Next time I'll put it on again and add photos. With the Cod it is for TFA and not TLJ (a new one will be obtained later) and I am still trying to fix the shoulder bells properly. The red detail is added later on the SC-44E Are there any comments / suggestions as to what I still need to revise?
-
I finished the shins (inner side) With the shin on the right, I need advice on the two boxes. When I open the shin, a crack appears which is no longer visible when I close it. But since it is being painted, it will break again. But it has to be seamless. How can I fill the gap without it breaking when opening? Filled the little holes/bubbles The TD will held in place with two magnets. After widening the abdomen, I adjusted the TD and sanded the AB boxes again Most of the time wasted gluing the magnet back on and letting the filler dry. I sanded the holster so that it fits better and lengthened the back so that the chest fits better. The chest / back has to be revised and somehow the pauldron still has to be attached. Work my way up from the bottom up again ...
-
So I took some pictures to check with you if its alright or need more improvements. And had to expand the abdomen and hope it looks more symetrical after the glue is dry. right thight with un mounted holster from Dan. (does it have to be seamless?) left thight Left and right shin left and right forearm there is a 1 cm gap at the end of the rail, it seems a bit short in my opinion or does it have to look like this? The boxes are held in place by two plastic screws, just like the ab boxes I've got in touch with a lokal car painter and probably they will do the paintjob. Before the painting, is it better to install all clips and the rails (forearm) first or paint them separately like the box on the forearms? Next issue is the Abdomen with chest and the shoulderbell and bizeps connection, but one by one ...
