Fits my big dome fine. Much better than the crushing headaches I was getting from the hard hat liner

Depending on how handy you are with a sewing machine (and you really don't need to be all that handy), it shouldn't be too hard of a job to downsize the cummerbund. This tutorial may help

Agreed! It constantly gave me headaches. Here is my setup. I used to have a pad on the top, but it lifted the helmet up too high

Ah I see... well again @Hask would be the expert here (especially on Hot Toys!), but if it's lacking a screen reference that's not something we would add to a CRL.

I would need to consult with @Hask on this, but my understanding is that as Grogu is an actual character and not a weapon or other prop, he's not something that could be added onto a CRL.

Always good to add a new PT to the ranks! We look forward to your progress (and thanks for buying that stuff off me!)

I will have to check. Probably? I won't be home for a few more days but I will look

There will be plenty to greet you!

Well this is pretty nuts, but the granddaddy of ARTs just hit 10 years this year! Juan Jose Matamoros designed us a great 10 year logo Not sure if we will do patches or coins... stay tuned!

Well done! Upgraded you to Pathfinders access!

Hey all! This week we launched our YouTube channel in order to house the many videos we've created and will create in the future. So instead of trying to track them down in a myriad of places, they are now all in one easy to find place -- including the Virtual Armor Party videos! More stuff to be uploaded soon!

Is this for me? I don't use anything except what you can see in that pic. The Anovos helmet had a small amount of padding built into it. Hard hat liners give me headaches.

Well you put it on the cheeks. Don't put any on the nose area. You want to leave that clear for your nose!

Mr. Paul's are definitely the best when it comes to accuracy. I bought the files myself, and the fact that the funds were going to charity made the price tag a little easier to swallow. Galactic Armory rips a lot of their Star Wars stuff from Battlefront, and as Mike mentioned, that doesn't always work for approval. The 3d models from the game are sometimes missing details; other times they add new ones. It's difficult to really evaluate them until someone starts printing them out though -- there are so many 3D modelers out there now, we can't possibly stay on top of them all. Don't forget about the Sean Fields files too. They have accuracy issues, but they are FREE and many troopers have been approved with them. I believe updates have been made to them over time.

That happens to all of us. Most of just put foam on the cheeks to lift the helmet off our noses

From what I've heard, Sheev's has really dropped off. So much so that we have dropped him from the approved Vendor list. More and more folks are making their own -- we reduced the L1 qualifications to make it even easier for folks making their own at home. If a new vendor comes along that makes approvable stuff, we will definitely add them to the list

Smooth! Looks a lot better than mine!

BUMP -- this is in two days, folks!

The dimensions don't look great but the real disqualifier is the number of ribs "Front of cummerbund has 5 ribs of equal width made of 6 vertical stitch lines, centered between the two fabric pouches" That one has 6

Absolutely appreciate all the input. Are you going to build this one? some notes: 1. To me that type of paint job requirement would be a Level 2 detail. 2. And as for the armor, we aren't going to require it to be that specific to the game. That is a level of accuracy we don't require of ANY trooper for L1 or L2. As it is the Kashyyyk is not one of our more numerous troopers. It's held steady at around 50-60 for the past 10 years or so. The last thing I want to do is make it even more difficult to achieve. Thanks for helping out!
