Welcome! Do the Legion proud.

It looks a little bit like some crazy Imperial scientist found a mortally wounded stormtrooper and decided the best way for them to continue to serve the Empire was through gratuitous gun-legs.

Wow, I completely missed my approval post here, sorry! I saw Joe's first set of feedback and promised myself I would fix up the armour when I got the chance, but never actually revisited the thread until now. I agree with your suggested changes to my fitting; I definitely need to redo some of the strapping that has worn out since building the costume, and tidy up the paintwork here and there. Expect to see my Centurion pictures before the end of the year. Thanks guys!

Sorry two more... absence of return edge on my forearms

I'd like to confirm Sarah's expert help when I was building my TK costume. When I received my kit I initially knew very little about the process of assembling the armour and the standards expected of the FISD EIB/Centurion programs. She has been a huge help in assembling, fitting, and maintaining my costume, and has been key in developing my interest in the 501st Legion. Thank you Sarah.

I've trimmed down the shoulder bridge ends in order to be more screen accurate. Hope this is satisfactory!

Thank you so much for the review! Just for clarification with regards to the ends of the shoulder bridges: I should be looking to trim the plastic down to roughly the red line, correct? Should there be a little edge left at the end of the shoulder bridge or should the cut go right up to just before the raised area? I can't quite make it out how they did it on Han's armour in the reference image.

Oops, here you go. The return edge on both wrists was quite a bit larger than I had remembered so thank you for catching that. I've updated my original post too for ease of review. Left Wrist Right Wrist Right side of Sniper Knee

Awesome, thank you for the review! For clarification that is E6000 on the knee so that shouldn't be a problem to get rid of. Aside from a bit of tidying up and putting some padding on the inside of the left thigh (it's currently slipping down and getting caught on the knee plate) I'm pretty satisfied with everything so far. Expect my Centurion application soon.
