Awesome this definitely had me worried. I got my kit from studio creations.

I'm currently assembling my scout trooper and noticed a small gap with the tank on the back armor. I sanded down the best I could. This kit came pre cut. Would this gap cause me trouble with 501st approval? It seems that the tank doesn't need to be flush in the 501st crls. Thanks!

@MrPoopie I've heard you're quite the expert, so I hope you don't mind if I run a few things by you. Typically, I run my printer on the highest resolution settings, even if it takes a few days. I've been using PLA, but ive heard PETG is better for removing layer lines. Currently, my post-printing smoothing process involves rough sanding, applying Bondo spot putty, more sanding, additional Bondo if necessary, followed by filler primer, and then the armor color. Would this process be optimal for achieving a gloss white finish on scout armor? If you have any suggestions for a better post-printing smoothing method, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all the help! I'm excited to get started!

Hey guys. Im looking at printing my scout armor instead of buying a kit. Are there any vendors that have approvable armor files? The last thing I want to do is buy the wrong files I cant get approved in. I was looking at This armor file on etsy and the one that galactic armory sells. Also, how do you guys hold up with long troops during summer months? I have a few other kits and cant last more than 2-3 hours at cons before pouring sweat.
