Yeah your belt boxes look fine. Theirs look noticeably narrower with large gaps between each box.

Glad to help! We have a lot of members from your part of the world. I'm sure they will be chiming in soon. I'm in Los Angeles! But I'm always around on this forum.

Hey Mark! I addressed these topics in your other thread, but happy to say "WELCOME" again!

On their armor? Way too narrow don't you think?

Yeah just seems like unnecessary work and expense.

1. Not necessarily. We don't know at what point these markings appeared on the tanks. 2. There's a piece of red tape or a red decal on the top of the MotM Scout's tank: So one of the prop makers at one point decided that meant there should be an LED light there. Go figure. Gino told us that the Scouts he saw in the archives all had some sort of markings on the top of their tanks. My guess is this was to distinguish them for the individual stunt guy so they knew whose was whose. But we don't allow anything other than what is put into our CRL. Meaning the red stripe on the "dial" and the white circle. 3. Absolutely not.

You can see the join strip on the screen used visors too, so that is completely fine.

Yeah, since the furniture pads are rounded then they wouldn't meet basic. Even elevator bolts would be better.

Furniture pads are exactly what we are trying to get away from. They are convex, so neither flat nor concave. They might be a bit pricier, but why not get the actual bolts and be done with it?

Hey Pathfinders There might not be an election in the Detachment this year, but there is still Legion, Garrison, Squad and your other Detachments to vote for. So please do your duty! As a wise man once said, "I love Democracy." www.501st.com/elections

It was intentional!

For the pants I used my favorite weathering tools for my Fallout costumes: Otter Wax and baby powder. I also scratched up the boots and dusted them with even more baby powder. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Weathering the armor. I scraped up the edges of everything with a paint scraper. Sanded some of the scrapes to blend them. And black washed everything. The camera really isn't showing how dirty this really is! Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Finishing up the small stuff. I glued on the shotgun shells with E6000 and riveted the leather pouch to the other side. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

I found one in this build thread:

Hey @ScaryGuy or @TK8271 Rogue Trooper --- I assume this is a view of the right side of the trooper, just above the hip plate. What is that black webbing for?

Not that I've seen. We know the sleeves were raglan because of how they were described in sources, including the "Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor" book I noted above.

Thanks @TK8271 Rogue Trooper! Without you, @Dart, @plagu3is, @Shortstack, @Strider, @Nexous, @ScaryGuy, @ferra, @Retrofire, @Grumpy and the rest of the Armor Team, my job would be immeasurably harder! You guys are so great at your jobs and free me up to worry about all the other stuff! I'll post some more tomorrow, but here's to a great new term!

The length looks a lot better! You should be able to bring up your bicep and forearm armor more on your arm now.

I added snaps to the interior of the ab armor and to the straps of the ammo pouch. Once I'm 100% satisfied with the placement I'm going to remove the excess strapping. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Interesting that the sleeves were done in segments. They should be raglan and in one piece.

Yes a single suede pigskin would be more then enough. You may even be able to get enough for two suits if you cut it right. I've never researched microsuede because we require the real stuff for Lancer. Can't help you there! Maybe someone else had a lead.

Glued to the top and sides. It does not go all the way under. From what I can tell from staring at film stills, this is how it was done in the movie. In some scenes you can see the frayed edges where the elastic is snipped.
