  1. Great work
  2. Looking good
  3. My sugestion would be to use the coverstrip as a guide and you will see how much to cut and if your shins flare out att the top like mine, cutting 10 from the ridge would make it difficult to assemble (see pic)..mark the middle of the strip, hold it to the shin to were it sits right and then transfer the mark to the shin, I learned this from Troopermaster, check his FB page and you will find lots of helpful stuff
  4. Thanks and I'm very happy with it
  5. Nice job on that belt and best of luck
  6. Torso and shoulders complete so half-a-Stormtrooper-dance-it-is Time to start on the limbs, cover-strips are rough cut and marked so there's no confusion later on
  7. Happy holidays
  8. Besides that I also use the belt as a corset
  9. Argh Daniel!!! That looks so good you have me torn between elastic and nylon. Sorry about that I prefer elastic over nylon but it comes down to personal preference, just wanted to let you know that there's no problem with it And thanks for the kudos
  10. Elastics works just fine
  11. Got some painting done, side closure, cod eleastic and that`s it for today - Merry Christmas
  12. Looks like some cover strips have sharp angles, might want to sand them out a but - if you didn`t already plan for it that is - all in all great work
  13. You must be more powerful than the Emperor
  14. Merry Imperial Christmas
  15. Correct, I use elastic like the movie suit though.
  16. Some nice progress at the Imperial factory....brackets are in and this time I countersunk the screw-heads, drilled the holes for side-connection, cod and put the belt together - just missing the covers....just a small break to get some exercise in then back to work
  17. If it`s not noticable then it`s no doubt also approvable for L2/3. Although you can`t have a holster for HWT and making it removable with snaps make them visible on the canvas so I guess you`ll need 2 belts anyway, unless the side pouches hides it of course, not 100% sure so you could send a PM to justjoseph63 and he will know for sure
  18. And so you should, put the center cap in first and then put the belt on the ab and mark the outer ones on the canvas..this helps avoid stress and belt popping of, I learned this from Troopermaster Here`s how the belt looks laying flat - looks wrong but is right
  19. Does it look something like this?
  20. I hope you`re right I`ll try not to be to over-confident
  21. Thanks It`s not that hard and altough I woulden`t recommend my *just go for it* approach check Chrickets thread on how she did them and you`ll find it easy
  22. What he said
  23. Helmet done Edit: forgot to paint the ear screws Immediately started trimming and the torso and shoulders/bridges are done and that`s it for today *woop woop*
  24. Awesome! Congratulations TROOPER
  25. But still....one step closer of being a Stormtrooper
