Looking forward to seeing the progress

#27 Day 2 Comic con Scotland. What a weekend! New memories and new friends made.

Even with my shock trooper build, I have been thinking of other improvements I want to make to my FEM7 armor. I don't have a timeline to work on these yet, especially because I am in the midst of my shock trooper build, but I think this is the best place to post these ideas (especially because others can chime in with ideas well)! In my post about my experience about PopCon, I came up with these improvements I still need to address: Armor Bite: The bottom edge of my thigh armor kept rubbing on the outer sides of my knees, and hours and hours of this occurring certainly made me feel it by the end of the con. I need to trim the bottom edges to alleviate this problem. Also, now that I know much more about return edges, I may just completely trim away the return edges on this section of the armor, especially given that the bottoms of the thighs are much less visible than other areas where return edges maintain the look of the armor. Shoulder Strap: The shoulder strap armor did not want to stay put at all, as can be seen in the photos I posted from my photoshoot. I think I should glue the front of the shoulder strap armor to the appropriate place of chest armor, as is the case with the approvable armors. I also need to remake the elastic straps in this area, as the snaps used to connect the arm armor strapping have pulled almost fully through the elastic due to the tension from moving my arms armor. I have also thought of other issues to address, as well as new additions to the costume: Helmet: I didn't think a helmet would be that essential, especially because most photos I have seen of folks wearing FEM7 armor show them without helmets, I did get feedback at the con (from people who really like my armor) that a helmet would really add to the "amazingness" of the costume. On top of the amazingness factor, the practical benefit is I could wear the helmet if I do not want to worry so much about makeup (or if I am attending a smaller con where I don't have a hotel room to use to apply my makeup). Fortunately, Imperial Surplus sells a helmet that was designed to go with the kit...but I really like the Legacy Fem helmet more (even though the FEM7 kit is clearly inspired by First Order armor). I wonder if I could make the Legacy Fem helmet work with the FEM7 armor and not look out of place... Interior Cover Strips: Now that I know more about the stress put on the glued seams/joints of lower leg armor, due to needing the armor to open up and allow me to put my lower leg through, I will be adding interior cover strips to the appropriate joints. I haven't had issues with the joint now, but continual wear over time will take its toll. Paint: I had much more paint transfer than I ever thought I would...or wanted... The black paint from the belt made super visible marks on the white armor, so I want to find some way to prevent the black paint from transferring to the white armor (maybe some heavy duty clear coat?). Also, I am going to repaint the armor to cover over the paint transfer. I think I will go for a glossier finish for the armor as well. Alright, I should end this as this post is much longer than I thought it would be. Even though I have completed the build, I really want to keep making improvements to this armor! I don't really have a timeline for these improvements as the shock trooper build is taking priority right now, but I am excited about doing more with my FEM7 armor!

Hello hello! Few months after my last post, but finally some exciting progress to share! The first batch of my armor has been chromed this week by a Dutch company (the only one in NL that uses Spectrachrome). Ive got their details by contacting Spectrachrome in the US, reached out to them and they were super excited to give this a try. Few months later they had to admit it was a bit more challenging than expected. I'm so excited!! Its so shiny!! Next week we're moving on to the bigger parts. In the meantime, any recommendations on where to buy the boots? I know they need to be jodhpur boots with a little heel, but I also need a way to get my inserts in to get a bit taller :-) Also on the lookout for a baton - any leads? Thanks for reading!

Dating within Imperial Garrisons Remember: Droids too Hot for TV? Troopers helping troopers? Just saying? I’m available for meet ups, dinner/lunch. Armor builds and just hanging out. I’m single, and looking for someone who has the same interest “Armor”. Feel free to send a PM.

Alrighty, I'm still stuck in a hotel for work which is a bummer cause Halloween is coming up quickly. I haven't had the time to adjust any of my armor and it's killing me. So I got this to occupy my time. Found this rebel scum at target. It's cardstock! I wanted the Star Destroyer, but convincing my better half to let me display it on the kitchen table probably won't happen.

Looking good

Since the Whitearmor site was down for a few days I didn't have a chance to log progress. I'll try and catch up but there is enough that I probably won't document it all unless it's unusual. Like... the shoulder tabs. The design is from @gmrhodes13 and I have changed it only to add velcro to it. Mainly I wasn't sure how well it would work and I like being able to take things apart easily. The following pics hopefully demonstrate the differences. So without making any cuts into plastic this is holding on the bells pretty well so far, but it's early on yet.

NoCo Down Syndrome Walk Beautiful cool day signaling the start of fall. I'm here for it! A great cause and a lot of smiles. One kid called the stormtroopers robots and like it when we waved to each other and high-fived. So we did that, a lot! Love this one. The only thing we're missing is a shore trooper! Go figure. :O

#26 Today we trooped at Comic con Scotland in the Royal Highland Centre Edinburgh with Imperial Scottish Garrison, Rebel Legion and Droids of Scotland. Special guests onsite signing included Giancarlo Espisito and Andy Serkis. Day 1 is done ready for day 2.

Can’t wait to hear how the chroming consult went!!
