Welcome!!! There are a few of us building Maul Commandos at the moment so we are glad to have you around!

On my TK armor the top of the shin rests just below the kneecap and the bottom of the thigh piece rests right above the kneecap. Stormtrooper armor is not built for comfort. My world changed when I went to TIE Pilot.

And I just thought of something else. You're going to want to put some elastic straps at the bottom of the shoulder bells on the inside so that the shoulder bells won't fall all over the place.

Hi and welcome! I am not a GML but maybe I can offer some help. Everything looks great to me, just a little more work to make it approvable. The calves are always the hardest part for me. I have thick calves and my shin pieces are usually very tight when I put them on. You can put shims in them, see here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/ ... -troopers/

In my opinion, it is more important to have the front connecting well than the back since that is what most people will notice first. You may want to use some superglue/plastic weld to fix the front of your shin pieces in place. Then use velcro on the back to secure it. I like these little velcro squares for use at the top, middle, and bottom of the seams, they are self adhesive and easier to connect/disconnect when using them. https://www.lowes.com/pd/VELCRO-12-Pack ... er/3020016

If you haven't already, check in with whitearmor.net, the stormtrooper detachment page for more how-to's and mentoring. Good luck!

Hi and welcome! I wasn't able to make it to the photoshoot but I am hoping to see you at future events!

Wow!!! So glad to have you all in our garrison. What part of NC are you moving to? My wife and I are from Greenville in Eastern NC. Really looking forward to meeting you all in person!

Just in case you don't know, be sure to check out 501stclonetroopers.com for guidance on measurements, etc. I am sure they have 3D models there or someone can point you to them. Even if you want to use your own I am sure they would be helpful for reference.

Very very cool! Welcome and good luck with your build!
