Working on a X Wing helmet

Yes, I know this would be a rebel legion thing but the subreddit gets no traction, I'm working on a x wing pilot for rebel legion, what are some details I can add to this helmet?

I'm in the process of making it irl and already have the helmet prepared, I'll be using acrylic paint and paint markers.

I want it to be unique and recognizable, what should I add or change?

Some other information if it matters:

I'm a 21 year old trans woman

I'm really big into the punk community, and I want that to show in my helmet

The rancor is non negotiable, thats for my old dog miley

I don't really know the x wing decal meanings, so if you want to inform me about them that would be great

This nearly 1.6-meter-long Anban sniper rifle is the longest model structure I've ever disassembled.

If we had a super-large 3D printer, we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of disassembling the model.

The hardest part of 3D printing isn't modeling, it's disassembling the model.

Why disassemble? Because we can't afford super-large, high-end printers! 😄

Does the 501st/Rebel Legion have gender restrictions on actual characters?

Obviously anyone can join, but for example, if I wanted to say, cosplay as Malgus, or Luke skywalker, but I’m a woman (which I am) would there be any issues with that? Would I have to wear a binder or something?

Very new to all this so any help is appreciated!

Getting Featured in Official Pages

Honest question, how does one get featured on the 501st or SLD official page? I Recently have great photos of me and wife as Darth Vader and an Imperial Officer respectively during May the 4th and whenever I post on IG as always tag the detachments. Some of my co-Garrison members have been featured multiple times.

I just really take pride in my Darth Vader being that it has always been the costume I wanted to do as a member.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Making armor and need Help

Hello! I am currently working on a suit for armor for renfaire and im attempting to do a one pauldron setup with a cloak. THE VISION: The cloak will be attached on the underside of said pauldron to the other arm (across the back) and over the other shoulder. (please see attached photo)

QUESTIONS;

How would you recommend i attach the fabric to the foam?

How should i attach the pauldron to the chestplate? I was thinking belts, but if there's anything else that would work please let me know

Is it going to be too much weight? I'm using a light spandex like material for the cloak and maybe some fur for the other shoulder. but i dont know the extent foam can take. the pauldron is 6mm and the chestplate is 10mm (See Second Image)

Any future issues you think i might encounter?

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to foamsmithing and unsure of the constraints of the medium.
