Hi,

Here's my animated clone and the stage I'm at , at the moment

Just primered the armor, as I like my armor to be without any kind of glossyness, I've decided to let the primer be the basic white. Apart from the abdom piece and the underlegs, i've made every part a one-piece part.I just used Industrial Velcro as much as possible, but on most parts I used snaps to harnass the armor, mini-snaps inside the shoulder bells so they would fit confortably/snugg fit enough around the shoulders.

The ARF helmet and Vizor I reinforced at some parts to make it more firm/stronger, as glue doesn't stick so easy to the helmet I had to use polymer.

Up next are the shoes.
 
Looking good, man!
That's one skinny waist on these suits. There's no way I could ever do one so kudos to all those of you that can pull it off.
 
They are actually not too bad. I'm 6-00 and 230 lbs and wear one just fine. I'd say, up to about a 35" waist would probably be OK
 
Are you going to do the kind of gray shaded weathering or just leave it the flat white?

I'm not sure yet, was thinking about a waterbased weathering together with hairspray (to make it stick to the armor, I have to test this method yet), a technique used by a few sandtroopers I know, but might go for a more permanent way, don't know yet, but I won't keep the armor and helmet plain white.
 
I made some clearer pictures today, I would like some feedback on the back piece, should I weather it more or should it be more subtle?

Thank You for the kind words :)
 
Maybe... just a bit in some certain spots with a darker primer to give the "dirt" a little extra depth.
I'd say you've pretty much captured how it looks in the show, though.
