Yes, three LFL sources are the usual expectation.

6021 seems closest to the action figure.

You should go for it. There are a couple of things to note: 1. Being that this is a not yet Legion-approved costume, you would submit it to your local GML who would then submit it to the Legion Membership Officer. It will then be subject to additional scrutiny as every detail must be perfect for new to the Legion costumes. 2. Having said that, you will have to make sure that everything matches supremely well to your reference photos. For example, the pockets on the jumpsuit would have to have the chevron flaps, etc. 3. If you decide to work on this costume, keep a build thread here at Spec Ops, and we can construct a proper CRL along with the costume. That can really help your chances of getting approved. Make sense? Being that the jumpsuit is green, would you be constructing it yourself? I am not aware of anyone who currently makes an Imperial jumpsuit in that shade. Todd

I can't say with 100% certainty, but if that were my armor I would hit it with a bit of Goo Gone. If it needed shining afterward, some Novus polish would do the trick.

In my opinion your fit is great. Nice work. You abdomen buttons will need to be gloss black though for 501st approval. That's an easy fix though. Nice shine!

I use elastic on all of my suits except my sandtrooper as it isn't accurate.

Welcome! It looks like you are making good progress. Keep it up

I recommend posting photos to Photobucket. Then you just have to copy the IMG code for each photo and paste it in your thread. Robert's your mother's brother.

Looking good so far. As for foam vs hard hat liner, everybody has something different to say about that. In ANH/ESB the TKs used star-shaped foam inside the helmets. I use foam in most of my buckets too. I have used a hardhat liner a la ROTJ, and it does improve air flow. I personally find it hard to mount the liner in a way that is comfortable, but Mike at Trooperbay has a video on his site I believe for doing that correctly if you want to give it a go.

That looks great. Impressive work so far on this ambitious project.

That's good news. Ty has been quite successful at grabbing such images from games in the past, and the detachment is richer for it.

I love it! Congratulations. Gabba gabba we accept you one of us.!

I'd love to see this one come to life. The helmet seems a bit off from a snowie lid. I'd really like to see some 360 images of this guy to get a better sense for the costume.

Congratulations! Gabba gabba we accept you!

Jim is spot-on.

Buying supplies is such fun. For me that more times than not leads to new costumes

You have flexibility here. Flat looks great against the gloss black, but you can leave the black areas untouched as well.

Dizzy has you steered in the right direction. You won't have problems fitting the AM with cover strips. Like our man Izzi once said, measure twice, cut once, then throw-up.

How large are you Doug? AM armor is larger than most, so you depending on your build, you may have nothing to be worried about.

Super cool Chef.

Great work all around. I can't believe it took this long, but it is indeed worth it. Congratulations Mel.

Getting there!

ATA is great armor and worth the wait, but it looks like the good man Crazas has you taken care of.

Welcome Franckie! Forgive me as I do not really speak Francais. Are you looking at ATA armor for the 8 month wait?
