I have just finished my first draft on my ESB TK uniform.

Looking to get feedback, so I can get it ready for my 501st application and submission.

Here are the things I am still working on:
- eFX Helmet Mods (Screws, Decals, Breather)
- New Boots (Those are the Elvis Boots, which I know are Taboo)
- Gun Mod (Waiting to order my Blaster Upgrade Kit)
- Holster (Waiting to order my Holster)

Let me know what you think and what can I do to improve? THANKS GUYS!

Two other tweaks to make are to remove the silver decals from the detonator and paint the rivet heads on the knee plate and thigh boxes white.

Also what is your belt made of? It has to be made of canvas or duck cloth. Looks like you are getting close to being approved. :thumbs:

Dude, the armor looks great. Feels good too doesn't it? If I had one thing to say, it would be that it looks like your shins Velcro with the visible seem to the outside. It is not an item that would prevent 501st approval, but that is kind of a touchy subject with some. Generally, the Velcro seems should be to the inside of your calves so that they cant be seen by a bystander, but like I said that is not a requirement... Looking forward to some future troops!

Thanks for the feedback guys, helps a lot and I'm going to modify based on the feedback as I want to keeping working on it to improve.

Thanks for the calf advice (I am going to modify it even though it is not required) as from the sides the velcro I think is very visible to bystanders as you said.

In regards to the belt,it is made out of ABS plastic that came with the kit, I have seen canvas belts online for sale. I will swap it out.

Whatever boots you end up using. Make sure your calves come down over your boots in your final pics. Everything looks pretty good other than what was already mentioned.

I'm not sure if that is required to get approved, but looks much better over the boots.
