I'm Batman

Thank you, and you're welcome Adam. Thanks Jaren. Just also thought I'd mention - MTK builds are currently filling the top 3 spots on the build thread list

Based on the curves of the 'calf muscle', and the way the inner parts curve in more at the ankle, my vote is that you have it right in the pictures. (Disclaimer: the 'R' shin is a little off centre in the image, so hard to tell for sure)

I'm not happy with my hook closure either. 1: the big gaps like you speak of. 2: open the hooks up to allow to do up easy, they kept falling undone. 3: close up the hooks and I couldn't get then done up, impossible to undo. I might be going to velcro for that.... Thighs - a bit hard to tell until you get the torso/codpiece on to see how it all sits.

That looks perfect, assuming you can still move. Also you're possibly not sure exactly where that shoulder bell will sit. Personally, I got the main torso clamshell done first, then started hanging bits off that. That way I knew exactly where bits were going to be positioned.

Looks fantastic Adam! Good luck, I'm sure you've nailed it this time.

Yeah, still no news. He didn't actually say how long the GML was away for. I'll hassle him this weekend if I haven't heard

As Germain says, you really need to tape them up in approximate position and have your arm straight to make an real informed decision. You can see here forearm is basically touching the bicep in all cases (hmmm, better go re-check mine)

Following..... Have you decided how you're going to fix the parts on the metal pipe? (That's ok, I'll wait for the reveal. I won't be starting my kit for another month or so).

Yeah, I don't think there are any written measurements anywhere. There are threads that mention the 10/13 rule that Germain talks about, but the CRL has been 45 degrees for a while now. Just eyeball it around the 10mm mark.

Looks good. Are you going to give it any weathering, or newly issued from the empire?

2mm!! That terrible. You may as well throw the whole armor out. Seriously, I had to look hard to see where that 2mm could possibly be. Don't worry about it. Looking good!

The high tech solutions are often the best.

Thanks Paul. My CO is waiting for our GML to get back from leave before giving me the nod. I re-trimmed the biceps, forearms, and have also just retrimmed the thighs a little too. He doesn't think there's any issues now. More pics (in better light) to come with those couple of mods.

therpf.com is good for that. There is a specific Star Wars section where someone is building a 1:1 Millenium Falcon cockpit. But I reckon you should share here too!

So the next question, as Eric mentions in this build thread, is do you make an allowance for people who have already started their builds by a certain date - the introduction date perhaps, that they fall under the old CRL's and don't have to comply with the new change? Something for the detachment staff to discuss with their buckets off?

If that's the case, do you make an allowance for anyone who has started a build thread prior to the requirement coming in? (Although I don't think Tim's build thread is the place this should be getting discussed )

Coming along Tim. A couple of observations. Is that your undersuit? It looks quite large around your chest, shoulders and arms which in turn makes it hard to see what the true fit on you is like. Also on that, the black on black in those last two shots also make it hard to see where things are so makes it hard to offer any suggestions. It looks like you need to rotate your biceps around more. And lastly, no point hiding your face. You can't stay anonymous as you need a bucket off shot when you apply for approval.

.. Edit

Looking good Twan. More of a fitment issue, can you raise that right thigh up a bit. There's a big difference between the two in that rear shot.

Looks really effective. Nicely done.

I'm against the change, but I made the change anyway and it was easy. Looks rubbish with the armor on the floor, but with the MTK armor you can't see it when it's being worn. I'll post pics if you need 'proof'.

iPad! Blood will just wipe straight off

Just keep on building, keep on building.... BTW, I have a FC in my delorean, but it's not set up for air/space travel yet so I wouldn't be able to get it to the States for you. Sorry mate.

Looking good Steve. It does just seem to plod along slowly, then all of a sudden, Bam, finished! You're nearly there. Bummer on the shins, but I hear ya. I have little chicken legs and they only just fit me. (I went for screen accurate hooks, but after my first troop will be changing to Velcro. (Did not seen very practical at all).
