That would work but It would still be at an angle. Unless I put sand paper on just a 1/4 of the piece and worked it around the high area. I may try to sand the pack in that area as you described and sand the stabilizer as well to split the variance on each so it minimizes the adjusted look

I have been beyond lazy about working on this ... I have worn it a couple times as is and love it though. Hoping to work on it this weekend. I did, however, pick up another towel. This one has a trademark but the tag is gone. It is the non fringe version as well. It is pretty worn but still decent .

There is a spot for you to change man, you'll be fine. More then one costuming group is going to be there. If you want to buy tickets there is a 15% discount going on until midnight tonight. Promo code flashsale at checkout. Remember you're a Cadet in the 501st so you could sign up, squire a bit, then change and do your thing.

Looking good, although that spider cracking on the paint might cause some issues...I'd look for a different paint if I were you, I've had that issue before, its a pain to deal with. I'm not completely sure what causes it, though I'm sure some of the more knowledgable people here do...

The spider cracking was cause I sprayed it on straight and with residue from clay on it I think. That piece is actually an model built from the templates using cut outs of ABS with clay in the center to keep it from collapsing when I make a mold of it. One the mold is done, I'm going to make a casting of the piece in resin and work off of that to make a final mold to start making real usable parts. Even with the resin they say to let it air out for a week or so before painting.

Something I noticed a while back on the jetpack top piece/grappling hook.... theres two holes/dimples in between each hook on the silver area....something you might want to add to add to the accuracy of this great build you have here. You can see it pretty well on this pic here ...among other packs

Thanks for the compliment ! I am going to add the holes and the arrows. The CRLs are out on the Merc site so I have a bunch of stuff to address- lower pack greeblie, the cover piece that covers the greeblies and wires, change my arrows to dark blue ( even tho I think they are black ). I got so used to just wearing it as is but I am now back into fixing it up. Been spending time on the sling gun and am almost finished with that. Appreciate the support and feedback!
