The hand painting on your helmet (traps and tears most noticeably) is FANTASTIC! Well done. Typically offered in Steel or Brass material with a host of metal nishes. With automatic setting equipment it can pierce through soft materials without a pre-punched hole. The gap between chest and kidney armour is pretty big, and would thus not reach level 2 certification or higher. ROTJ armour has them connected but has different hand plates and different paint job on the helmet. And I think I see them but hard to tell from the photos if the black elastic arm bands are present. Split rivets are typically used in the luggage, case and leather goods industries to fasten soft materials such as plastics, animal hide and wood. The ANH and ESB variants require kidney-armour and posterior-armour to be separate pieces. The Tus: Split rivets are put through a hole in the material (sometimes they are just punched through as they are installed), and then crimped over so that the 'legs' are curled over and ideally lock into the wood or other material on the backside, holding whatever is to be riveted. Also for Centurion you will need rubber hand guards glued/attached to your gloves and also 1/4 inch white elastic bands on your shoulder bridges if they aren't already there. The Sheehan is a bench mount type, the Tus is a hand held type. Dropping your forearms a hair will eliminate it. If membership in the 501st legion is what you seek, you. It is completely unrelated to the needs or requirements of 501st membership and trooping. Now, place the rivet inside the hole and place the head of. Make sure to not exceed the diameter of the hole more than the diameter of the rivet. First, make a hole between two layers or where the rivet is decided to apply, using a hole-making plier.

This forum is dedicated towards discussing the original Stormtrooper suits, their strapping, assembly and so forth, and as a centralized location for preserving that information.

If you plan for Centurion (I'm sure you will be with this great looking armor) You will need to add a split rivet to the cod piece and 2 male snaps to the butt plate (where the cod/butt plate attachment is) Glad to see that you painted your ab/kidney rivets and your thigh pack rivets white, as they were not painted in the initial photos.
