I have been having trouble being able to register with the 501st. Can anyone help me out. I am ready to take my pics and my application for approval, but I cant register.

Hot glue gun incident putting in my hard hat liner. But I like the look. Gives it character and a battle damage look.Holy cow! Did your trooper get curb-stomped by a bantha?

Repairs and partial weathering complete. Well after many days and hours of nearly crying in a fetal position after my horrendous and tragic accident, I have finally completed my repairs.
I added abs plastic reinforcement strips and longer screws as well. But needless to say on this day victory is mine my friends.

Do the screws used for the brackets get painted white?Only the split rivets (six on the left side and one in the codpiece/crotch) are painted white.

Should the split rivets, cod piece snaps and the right top snap be painted white or left natural?

I am on the way to being fully repaired. I Will submit new pics when finished. But man..... I almost wanted to give up when it first happened.

Not sure, something in the chemical composition that the abs plastic did not like. Just be sure to use super glue to secure the nuts in place.

So today I finished assembling my back and chest armor, meaning I would not have to dissable or anything again and I decided to use thread lock on the nuts on the brackets.....
Not a good idea..... The thread lock attacked and cracked and blew out the holes I drilled for my brackets. Now I must spend countless hours repairing, sanding and redrilling holes to repair my armor. The point is, if you use one of these bracketing systems for your armor, use super glue on the nuts instead of thread lock or lock tight.
Hope this helps someone avoid the same mistake and problem as mine.

This is the helmet so far. Still need to outline the traps and tears black and add my tube stripes. Other than that, just need to add my fans and battery pack.
Also have all of my armor assembled and just need to do some final trimming and strapping.
Then the best part which is finishing my pack and weathering my armor.

Looks good so far Sir. A yellow undertone would probably work and give it that sun bleached look.

Looking forward to it.As many of you may already know, Walt (Walt's Trooper Factory) is going to be auctioning off a full Sandtrooper Ensemble. This includes a pack. Crookknight's Imperial Trooper Packs will be donating a pack to this great cause. I will also be building my very own pack at the same time. I am doing this thread so newcomer's can see one way the packs are built (as there are many) with today's technology. I will be using parts from different vendors for this build (I will mention them shortly) and also 3D printed parts.
STAY TUNED.
