Vette11

Wendy, I am 5'5" and went with AP for my kit. I had to do only a little trimming on the arms and legs and it fits really good and I am very happy with it. Mark is great to work with as well.

More pics!!! I want to see progress!

Somehow, my bayonet plug came off of my Doopydoo during a troop and was lost. Does anyone have a replacement or know where I can get one? <br> Thanks for any input

Thanks Brad! Can't wait to go trooping!

Thank you Jeff. I have been so excited and can't wait to get to a troop

TK 24111 is reporting for duty as the newest member of the 501st legion! long live the Empire!

ok, my submission photos have been submitted to My Fl GML and are currently being reviewed, so as promised here are the finished pics

Thank you Tony

so there it is, as I said earlier, I am currently making final adjustment and taking the submission photos, which I hope to send to my GML by the weekend. I will post the complete body pics once they have been submitted for approval. I have had a lot of fun doing this and I am addicted. I am already looking at the new suit....lol. if you have any questions please feel free to pm me and I will answer them as best I can. many thanks to all those who contributed to this build and answered my questions. thank you all.

while glue/paint was drying I built my bucket in spurts. here are the photos. the interior has been changed from the foam to a hardhat liner b/c I just could not get the bucket to sit right with the foam inside.

In looking at my build so far I just realized that I have posted pics of the finished td but no pics on its build so here they come.

the cod piece

once all of the plates were in place, it was time for me to start the part of the project I feared most.....the strapping.

so now I finally reach the stage of gluing in snap plates

thigh ammo pack in place and riveted.

rivet covers have since been added and the holster rivets have been painted.
