Great to see another shadow stormtrooper on the way.

Here's the shadow Stormtrooper section of the forums - https://forum.specops501st.com/forum/15-shadow-stormtrooper/

When on the flickr app, click on the share option & copy the URL.

Head back over to your forums post & paste the URL & wait a few seconds & boom, your image will appear on the post. 

I hope this helps.

The Anovos kit is now a rare find and has some great shine to it! (I may be partial though  ). Let us know if you need any help and we'll do what we can do help!

Great progress today getting all the rough cuts done. Huge thanks to the South Valley Squad of the Central California Garrison.

Nice on the armor party! A pro-tip here, make sure you get all the plastic covering off before you glue the stuff, especially on the cover strips (don't ask me how I know ?).

Those boots should work, but you'll obviously need to recolor the brown to black and make sure the grooves running along the edge of the sole don't exist. I think you can slowly shave them down; although, they could just be painted to look like there are two lines.

Progress

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

Very nice! You're moving right along!

[resqd1]

Got these boots for like $45 on Amazon. Will use black shoe polish on the brown along bottom. Other than that will these be approvable? Don’t want to polish them if not. 
 

someone mentioned grooves above but not sure what they meant…

 

 

[resqd1]

Tape fitting… give me your thoughts and what you may see… I think I need to maybe do more trimming and the glue up with someone with experience.

Yeah those should be good from what I can see! The part I was talking about with the grooves was here:

However, it looks like that stripe or groove is just a painted detail and not an actual groove. As long as everything is black you'll be good.

These images are really small when I try to launch them. Are you able to host them on an image sharing website such as Flickr and then link in the URL here? It'll automatically convert them to pics we can enlarge.

does this work? Click that picture

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

Yep, that works better! Your left bicep and right shin armor look a little larger than the other sides but other than that I can't really see anything that looks off. Once you get the biceps together and then raise them up a bit then the shoulder bell will come in and around it to make it not look "as large".

I also fixed your pics above. Just had to right-click the pic and click "Copy image address" and then paste it. All good!

Copy thanks I will look at measurements on those

 

on the shoulder bells do they remain this big or can I take more off? 

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

For the shoulder bells I'd wait until you have your biceps together and glued before doing anything. Often times if you take that return edge off the bottom of the shoulder bells then they can often fit better over the biceps.
