First fitting test:

Had much work with it with fitting, cutting, glueing and sanding the stuff. But the quality is good.
THE KW armor was on that point to much money for me… Now after much work I would do it today on the easier way and would buy all of Kewin Weir…

I would strongly recommend a visit over to the 501st Clone site. There are a few things you'll need some help with..!

never fear mate - check the final result when it´s finished

glued today some kid-football-shinpads in the underarm-armor to hold the right position while wearing them.:

A couple of things that jump out to me are:

1. The bucket has too much of an "underbite" and missing some details:

501st Legion: Vader's Fist

In addition, the tube stripes you have are too long, and you're missing the flat vertical middle chin detail and the triangular cutout under the visor. I'd also look at the way you've painted the ears. I'm not 100% sure the black goes on the vertical tubes, but I know it needs to border the ear.

2. The boots are missing a detail piece up front, the side soles should be primer grey and not white, and the strap disc is too pronounced:

501st Legion: Vader's Fist
 
Thanks. Yeah its not still finished. The triangle under the visor will be there and the boots are not finished. Painting and weathering in the next days...
 
just checked your links. The showed helmet in the CRL of the 501st isn´t right. The Dark blue vertical hash marks on each side of the helmet cheek are as shown black - the clones have blue stripes (look for this at the written text in the CRL) - when i bought the helmet i got the black short stripes too and checked before stiching them on the helmet first in our 501st forum if they are right. Clone members told me that they are false and i bought the right ones for clones.
There are some helmets for a Neyo around. All are looking different. If you are searching figures of Neyo on the net. You will see that the Neyo helmets all look diffrent. I prefer to look at the sideshow figure.and oriantate to it cause that one looks great and mostly movie accurate.

To the shoes i don´t know what you mean what is missing. They aren´t still finished.

Cheers Eric
