Thanks guys, didn’t want any issues in terms of getting approved because of it. This build is a magma and my next is a ANH TK. Any other tips for the legs? Seems to be where I am having the most issues.

Good afternoon all, Question about thighs or anything cover strips for that matter. I’m 6’2 and 210 pounds. I wouldnt say that I’m large by any means but I used to be a huge runner. In regards to cover strips, everywhere I am reading 20mm as the standard. Would I do a 20mm cover strip in front and allow the back to have a larger one? How should I go about handling it. Thanks

Thanks @IcyTrooper, didn’t see much level 2 information for the tx magma vs tk anh stunt which I will be getting in the mail soon. Any reference points?

Thank you for the quick reply’s everyone. In trooperbays videos, he seems to attach them via hardware which he says he will paint later. @IcyTrooper when you say detachment only, what do you mean? Also through some research, a clean way seems to be something called the practical popper method found below Thanks,

Well all, I’m excited to join the ranks. I have my TX Magma Trooper ready to be trimmed. I have watched trooperbay’s videos along with the 45 video series on how to build the armor quite a few times. I have ordered Velcro and am getting ready to order the large order from trooperbay. Ive seen various methods of doing the outer torso armor. One of the things I have read is that there are really no rivets except for the belt. However I think thats how they attached the snaps to the torso on the outside. My biggest thing is getting 501st approved when I finish it. I will be using the piano wire part as shown in trooperbays videos but when I look at certain pictures of the armor, there are no signs of snaps from the outside. I have attached a picture from the side of another tx’s build and I see no snaps from the outside. Once again I want to make sure I do the best job at building a 501st approved build. Any guidance would be great. Thanks,
