Looks very nice bud! Coming along nicely. Looking forward to more progress pics in the future.

Welcome to Spec Ops!

Something is off with that helmet to me and I dont think it is accurate. Who is the maker of this kit? Also the best way to see if it is approvable is to send all detailed pics (Front, sides, back, etc.) to your local GML so that they can review and help you with anything else you need to adjust or change.

I would email Studio Creations and see. He can send you one for cheap. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Walt usually posts videos on his armor for assembly. Try pming him on Facebook and asking if he has made one. Good luck!!

Well done! Congrats

Congratulations and welcome to Spec Ops!!!

Trooper bay sells both the grey and black sets of scout stickers. The three lines on top front and the fish hook are black along with the stripes on back of helmet. The rest are supposed to be grey stickers. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

With the assumption that you are working on a shadow trooper the crl is not specific to the exact placement of the belt. But I would check with your local gml to be safe because he may be picky about things. But overall it shouldn't matter as long as it covers the gap that's there. Just don't have it too low to where if you move a certain way you could see the gap. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Looking good so far. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I know a lot of people that have went with Jim's kit and are very happy with it. It has some imperfection that need to be filled in the fiberglass I have seen but overall a lot of satisfied customers. Good Luck!!

Awesome! Looking forward to your build. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Yes I will get some to you as soon as I can. Been busy thjs past week. But hopefully within the next couple days Ill send a couple! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Mine is actually attached to the screws that hold the lens paper on for me TK and they hang down on either side. They made mine with a snap but velcro is much easier to do by yourself lol

If padding is not working my TK bucket also has a chin strap that you could use and just slap some velcro on it and black 1" elastic and put it under your chin. It would solve the problem. Just an option.

Looking forward to this build! Good luck! Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

For accurate builds they are solid head rivets. Most can be ordered online or found in a hardware store.

Hey there Alan! Welcome to the Spec Ops. I am also in the Star Garrison so I will be looking forward to meeting you eventually. A lot of people use WTF or Walt's Trooper Factory for the Shadow Trooper armor. He can be found on the forums here and on facebook. I believe there are a couple of other options but not a lot. Anyways, good luck!

For which part of the build are you asking bud? Usually if the CRL says no visible rivets it means that either the part needs to be attached a different way or it should be covered with another piece (Not paint).

Sure thing! I just took some. Ill shoot a couple over for you!

As of today I am officially the 6th approved swamp trooper in the 501st and 1st in the Star Garrison!

Well in other news my flight suit came in. Of course while we were at celebration lol fits good though. Through thr armor on real quick just to do a test fit. Only thing i didnt put on was the TD. I am going to put some elastic and velcro over the top part of the neck to hide that zipper. Then should be done. Probably wont post again till I get the vest eventually. Thanks!!

Alllll righty everyone. The time has arrived. The boots are done. The submission pictures have been sent. Tomorrow we leave for celebration! Thank you to everyone who has followed this thread and has helped me along the way with this awesome build. Could not have done it without you all. Also, the camera my wife uses gives a weird shadow in the back it's not me moving at light speed! Lol Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk

Ok so just about done with the boots. Just need to add the dog bone and holster and that'll be it. Got a scout pistol as well! Pics below. Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk
