Well my armor has been shipped, expecting arrival Friday. Too bad I am busy all weekend
I had this kit pre-trimmed, so I am curious as to how much re-working/cutting/sanding is required. I hope he sent extra ABS cuts for cover strips. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't the excess plastic from re-sizing pieces function as a cover strip?
How do you all like to start an armor build? Forearms --> Biceps --> Shins --> Thighs . . . .
Depends how much you will be trimming most of the stuff i trimmed was only good for making snap plates he sent me more than enough to do cover strips behind the butt joints and to shim my ab plate
I worked my forearms first then my shins then thighs didn’t do biceps till i did the bells after the chest and back plate that way i had something to support them from hope this helps.

OK OK OK I can't resist this -
FISD FLASH MOB!
All you gotta do is practice with Star Wars Kinect... we all memorize the moves for one sequence (you know, the CHEWIE HUG and DOUBLE BLASTERS and so on), practice at home... someone can make a video for those without the game... then just before or just after the 501st photo, someone blasts the music and all the troopers get down!!! and/or any time any place! Jabba's Palace! Guaranteed to be the most memorable event of the show, and way more original than a Thriller flash mob!
ok im in what song i can post the video just let me know the song

If I am approved I will be there

Get your name on the list last time quote I got was 12 weeks

Rusty,
Looks great! A lot of people place the seam of the neck S-trim at the front of the helmet rather than the back so it doesn't show. Maybe this will work for you too....
Looking forward to seeing you at some local troops soon!
I see what you are saying that's an easy fix thanks for the input

Here is my finished photos not that I think you are ever just finished.
