Amazing build thread. I love seeing the clever way you did all your alterations. I was lucky to get a v3 which was a bit better build quality. But I think your build probably came out better in the end lol.

I've tried to make my own shirt in the past and while it's not impossible, I'd recommend going with one of the venders here. The shirt is more complicated than it looks to make sure the ribbing lines up correctly. As for printing the helmet, I would do it in smaller pieces to ensure accuracy. I've printed parts of my helmet and doing it in small parts and assembling later lets it look more polished as a whole. Plus I'm not sure of a printer with a print bed big enough to knock out the whole helmet unless you have something industrial. Looks like you know exactly what you need, Best of luck in the build!!

Well I'm in the books as a member of the carolina garrison! Thanks to everyone for your help along the way!

I forgot about the steps at the ends, I focused on the side ones, thanks for pointing it out, i'll fix it asap. The underarm is like that because I had to add a ton of shims to get the kit to fit around me. right now it's two shims that meet in the middle since I extended each end. I'll go back and add one single shim, would that be okay? Thank you so much for the pictures with notes, that really helps.

Hello everyone! I've had the kit since May, it's my first kit so progress was slow but I got the screen used paint and took the time this past weekend to paint everything up! [quick note, the helmet is missing the blast shield because they are assembled separately, See last photo for image of helmet with blast shield.] Once the base Coat was done, it was time for my favorite part of prop making, and the main reason I went for the shore trooper grunt, Weathering! Lastly, a quick comparison between my helmet and screen used, and the Anovos replica
