To post pictures:
This is for smart phones, I know it works on iPhones and should work for others as well.
Start by downloading an image storage app. Imgur is recommended. After you download and create an account you can add pictures to your account by hitting the “plus” symbol in the upper right hand side of the screen.
 This will allow you to make an album of pictures.

After you have saved the album and you want to post pictures in the forum you first hit the little picture icon in the forum. It’s above the emojis and looks like a painting of the Mona Lisa.

Then you can go back into Imgur and press and hold on the picture you want to post. That will give you the option to “copy link” hit that and paste the link in between the [ img] [ /img].

 Make sure there are no spaces in the link and then preview your post by hitting the preview button that is below the post button.

Looks like you're off and running.

Loving the colors on the helmet so far. Keep in mind that you'll have to fully finish your prints to remove any visible trace of the print layer lines, and fill in or otherwise disguise/alter any canon character specific damage/dents etc. to clearly differentiate your custom kit.

I'll also caution you about shoulder spikes - folks get a little touchy about stabby things at eye level so make sure you work with your Ruus'alor to meet the safety requirements. My own opinion is that spiky shoulders don't aesthetically mesh well with P/I designs in general, but it's clear that you have put thought and effort into intergrating this feature as part of your overall scheme.  I'm interpreting it as an implied character/backstory reference.  Finished well and with the right paint job and fur trim, it can certainly look like a piece of this Mando's birth culture carried forward into their life after taking the Creed.

Looking forward to the next 300 or so updates vod!

 second son.. THANK YOU...

 i had not considered the issue of eye level poky bits.....might have to look into lopping them off..and replacing them with foam rubber dipped in tool-dip.. safe..yet right.

 and yes.. its a 'story/family" piece..i am trying to get some more confirmation for the lore smiths as to how far back a piece can come from...

You shouldn't need to cut them off. EVA Foam is not an approvable material, so that won't be a good solution.  Harder but still somewhat flexible urethane rubber castings might be workable, but really as long as you round over the points and make sure they are mostly out of the eye-line of kids you'll probably be ok.

Generally speaking things can move forward - but if you are saying that an Early or Crusader-era piece survived 20,000+ years to end up on a P/I kit, that might be a bit of a stretch. Maul-dalorian shoulder piece inherited one or two generations later? Much more plausible.
