I was asked to resend my application on the 501st website but when I try to complete another application I get this message: "We already have a user registered the same email address as the one you have provided." Any suggestions on how I can get this rolling in the right direction?

I sent my final approval pics on the 15th of October, on average how long does Legion approval take? Just excited about joining, im constantly checking my email! haha.

This is true. New belt is needed. I don't consider myself a crafty person and don't know much about materials but are there any recommendations on a filler that can flex with the belt without cracking??

Does anyone have reference pics of the belt's new standard?

Can anyone point me to a vendor that supplies a one-piece belt? My current belt is from SC and comes in 3 different pieces but to meet Lancer specs I'd like a single piece belt.

Unfortunately I did. I'd have to redo the belt and are the black TD clips required?

Thanks to all!!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I will adjust the forearms down.

Perfect and simple! Thank for the tip, very much appreciated.

I can't dress myself!! I'm reaching out to see if anyone has some tips for me. I can pretty much put everything on myself except for the flak vest, I cant velcro the back properly. Does anyone have a magnet setup for their TD? I know I've seen it on the site before but can't seem to locate it now??

Great feedback; thank you! now with the bicep and forearm armor I should make them inline with the shoulder bells to where the elastic straps are on the inside of my arm??

1st FULL suit-up!!

This helps A LOT! Thank you.

After taking these I've painted the TD hose a darker color and have reinforced the pouches to make a more sharper square shape. My main concerns are the vest sleeves being too long and maybe the cod piece needs to be tapered more? I've also added some elastic straps to help hold the chest and back armor to the cummerbund better. Other than some strapping and the uppers of my boots I'm almost ready for full suit up pics. I've also ironed the cummerbund, sorry for the sloppy pics but I was excited!

I'm having trouble uploading larger pictures; I keep getting a file size too large error.

Here are some quick fitting pictures. Looking for some feedback on soft parts, any feedback is beneficial for me considering this is my first build.

What is the best storage to transport your suit in when traveling for a troop?

Is there a tutorial available showing the spray paint technique for adding distress to the armor?

Still having trouble. When using the pilot holes that were pre-drilled for the kit this is what I'm running into on the Left Side of the helmet; while the right side seems to be lining up fine. Should I trim the face plate to meet with the visor? Being this crafty is new to me so any advise will help. I'd just hate to make such a costly mistake.

Looks great! Thanks for the help.

Can anybody provide a picture of the 2nd strap on the knee armor?

I did some re-adjusting, does the visor look too far back or would this placement be acceptable?

I recently received a helmet kit from SC and my question is do I trim the faceplate to line up with the visor??
