I've scanned several build threads, but this detail seems to be not worthy of a picture. Is the method known for the screen used suits? Please post pics if you have them. Cheers.

The 501st page takes longer to update. The requirements listed at the detachment sites should always be accessed for the most up to date info.* Aside from that, your suit is looking great, Shaun! I'm inspired to get the updates complete on my suit as well. Great having a fellow trooper over. * That said, I feel it is a somewhat broken component of our organization. It would be best to either do away with the 501st pages or make them the one-true-source. Or at least compromise and put a notice at the top along the lines of "requirements may have changed, please reference detachment specs". Direct links to the up-to-date reqs should be provided as well.

Looking great! And another GGG scout. I think 3 new builds on the area have popped up in the past 2 weeks. Keep it up. Hope to see you around a troop soon.

I need to follow up on this as my previous response was not accurrate. I actually did use velcro on these knees. Doh! I forgot and had it mixed up with my Snowie. The latter I don't have velcro but they stay put just fine. I did put foam on my knees to keep them from digging in to my shin, though. So...velcro, yes.

Looking good! For painting the snout area you seek 1/8" vinyl automotive or artist pin-striping tape. It'll do straight lines and curves like magic. Thentape around it with regular painter's tape.

Hot glue has worked great for me on both suits. I haven't had a piece fall off. That said, I keep my glue gun and sticks in my field kit. Easy peasy repair.

I use foam as well and they don't move. Likewise results on my snowy.

I trimmed mine. A tad too much, actually, so go slow and small if you do it.

Yeah, I put off filling the gap and painting. The perfectionist is me is twitches a bit when I see it, but I just don't have the space or time to take that on right now. It's on the never-ending to-do list.

I hot glued a couple pieces of foam on the bottom half of mine for the same reason as Chef. I had run in to the problem originally on my snowie.

Looking good. I ended up going a bit farther around my SC than the provided lines. Basically 3-4mm or so on the top, a couple on the sides and 1-2 on the bottom. Check the size of the cut here: My bucket:

Suit is looking great!

Congrats and well deserved!

Great job, Glen!

Great work!
