yes, weathering on the cloth is completely different. With abs you can wipe it off if you mess up. With cloth you can't, start with a tiny amount and build it up to get the desired affect. I highly recommend testing on an old shirt or something first.

Hey Zlevey, The armor from Studio Creations is absolutely incredible. I was blown away by the quality. I only had to make one change to make it align with the Mandalorian Scout CRL level 1 basic standards. - The Studio Creations pre assembled set has an addition strap on the knee armor. Luckily Kurt was amazing and let me ship them back and he sent me knew ones without the second strap. If he hasn't shipped yours yet, contact him quick and see if he can exclude the second strap - The only other change I made was cutting away the white elastic that went around the connection point for the chest and back piece. This wasn't needed and I didn't like the look of it. (This is totally optional). Let me know if you have any other questions.

Welcome! Great picture, I just saw it on instagram a few days ago.

Thanks @Chopper I will do that right now before I forget.

I just got the approval email!! TB-80504 reporting in!

Per the 501st how to join page for existing members, I reached out to my local Garrison Membership Liaison (GML) requesting approval to add additional costumes to my Legion profile Wish me luck!

Thanks @Aradun Is that what you use in your helmet?

Thank you very much @Chopper

I did some testing with the belt and I think it looks much better shortened. Hopefully I can talk my wife into doing some sewing. Left is untouched and Right is with it pinned up 1 3/4 inches.

Is anyone using voice changers or electronics to enhance their voices when trooper? If so, can anyone recommend or share what they are using? Thanks!

Question for the group. I did a partial suit up today so I could measure where to attach the velco on the flight suit for the Codpiece strap in back. Looking at others suit up pictures I feel like the Cummerbund is to tall. On others the pouches come down to the bottom of the Cummerbund, where mine has a good two inches below. I measured the pouches and they are exactly 6x5x2 inches. So my question is, how tall should the Cummerbund be? Mine is 11". I am sure it will look better once I add the belt but I want to make sure this isn't going to be a problem for approval.

I did, I saw in another post that chicago screws were approved and added to the CRL.

And the boots are done! Now I wait for everything to dry. The weathering on the armor seems to be drying in 2-3 days, but the boots seem like they are going to take 7-10 days. Once everything is dry I will glue down the dogbones on the boots and add the straps back onto the armor. I am beyond happy with how everything turned out. The weathering is more of a reddish brown (I used Raw Umber on everything), but it is not showing that way in the photos. I will have to figure out how to capture the color better when I suit up for pictures.

Soft parts (Cummerbund, Codpiece and Pouches) weathered and a majority of the hard parts are done. Now I just need to weather the boots and attach the holster. I have spent way more time on weathering than I would like to admin but I am SO happy with how everything is coming together.

Well that was super easy! First I turned the glove inside out, then I made a small cut along the seam all the way around the opening of the glove. From the there the lining pulled right off! Fits much better now and much cooler.
