I've seen worse. Half the fun is doing it yourself though.

Beautiful sergeant armor! Should pass easily.

Congrats! Make sure you request your 501st access
-
Please tell me Vader got in that bounce house!
-
I guess that's why no one jumped on it....

I'm half tempted to buy that and change the front face plate with crashmann's
-
No, you want a hobby iron. I got mine on Amazon for $20 or less. It's the kind RC plane guys use to wrap and seal plastic on the wings.

Very nice!
-
The return edge was made with my hobby iron. Sorry that you're having to make modifications to an RS! I absolutely love their kits, especially the bumpy helmets. If I could afford one I would have it in a heart beat. Just need my kids to be out of diapers and stop drinking so much milk and I could afford it maybe lol.

I'm not 100% but I would go with the dimples.

No you're only going to have the shim glued and in place on the kidney side so only the holes on the kidney will be filled. What I did was I made return edges on the top and bottom of my shims and also gave them a warm water bath so I could give them a slight curve by hand so they weren't so straight. where the return edges meet, I used ABS paste as well to blend in the seams.
Remember you want to make a shim on both sides of the kidney, not just one side. So when you measure your gap, divide that in half so you can make equal size shims.

Congratulations!

Looking forward to seeing your submission

You need to make some shims to close up the gaps between the kidney and ab plate. Plenty of tutorials how to do this out there. If you need help, shoot me a message.

My cistern has 2 holes drilled in the back and is zip tied to the middle support bar on the frame and I also have a screw holding it in place towards the top. None is visible unless you're really looking for it.

If this is still a thing, I just got my PO and ready to serve and represent my garrison.

Thanks! I knew all the long nights would pay off!

Chris, contact AM: trooper gear at gmail dot com and they can hook you up with larger chest and back. New pieces and a little weathering, you got this!
-
It's an old FX kit, you'll need a new helmet and quite a bit of work to get it 501st worthy but it is possible.
-
Ricky has one of the best looking "Look sir, droids!" out there! Definitely what I want to achieve some day.
-
You can also add some foam to the back of the thigh and another in the top front of the shin. I have mine pushed out with some spacers like you have done too.
-
For the ab detail, did you put the 3 individual belt rivet covers on as the 3 button strip? You'll want to get that as one piece.

What boots are those? They seem a little short and that's why they are coming out under the shins.
