And forarms.. some clean-up and then glue the elastic and put the arms together....but that's for tomorrow

Thigh-elastic, ammo belt and sniperknee fitted

Thighs sized up, ready for assembly Did a test fit and shoulder-straps do need to be shortened... Blooper Notice the flex of the left shoulder-bell and...though not Luke I seem to be dreaming of a princess...

And now the shins are done, tomorrow it's thighs

And then I glued in the bridges and elastic for the shoulders, didn't suit up for that but here he is guarding my office

The undersuit did help with the gap and I also shortened the strap for the "Han-snap "woop woop" And the holster is in place.

And just to be clear..I´m still an anonymous stormtrooper BEFORE those rebel-scum killed me , without leaving a mark on my armor I might ad, I find it hard to belive they managed to sneak up and shoot me in the armpit area..oh well..this is the time before that - Long Live The Empire

A Hero emerges... Eventually...

Thanks and I'll do my best...the painting was not an easy task, much more time-consuming than I thought but slow and steady wins the race I'we heard

Time to try som paint and I got Han keeping an eye on everything

Well..some pieces move along in relative speed and others, like the helmet, is taking forever...took several hours and to many drillholes to line it up than I would like to admit but thanks and who knows, we might just be TK:s roughly the same time

Looks great! Keep it up and it`s not a race...easy so say but sometimes hard to live by, for me anyway when it comes to armor, lika a kid who just can`t keep my hands of...even when I probably should

Been rough-trimming the eyes and teeth...used an exacto and went super-slow so nothing else has been done today. Some clean-up tomorrow and hopefully got time to put it together...and...I taped it up real quick before nap-time and voila...an almost Hero-helmet

Thank you Sir and I hope I dont jinx it now but so far so good I think....If you don`t count the brow that is

Home-stretch It's hard to fail with such amazing armor and thanks Thanks I hope so Thanks but I don't need to make any alterations (unlike you know who Still impressed ) and the strapping is already made by TM so all that is left is just to cut som plastic

And now the ab-buttons are glued on *happy happy happy

Just straped the torso together and coulden`t resist this foto-op...so..here goes.. (read it singing for effect) I´m half a stormtrooper yes I am Left side looks fine (Centurion in mind) Right side indicates a diet coming my way...or...buy a new undersuit size XS and hope for the best kidding aside, having the undersuit on just might make it better, we`ll see #fingers#crossed and just to make you jump..TROOPER-SELFIE....

Gotcha! Thanks I appreciates it

Thank you Sir It`s even more beautiful in person, truly a work of art, both by the original sculpter and in this case TM and...you don`t Think I should replace the brow?

That`s a good point, especially since the forearms are connected to the biceps by default....it`s just a long-shot but perhaps it`s because they mainly kept the elbows bent holding the blaster

And here`s me thinking that was some sort of on-set repair...do you think that it was intentional or for that specific trooper...problem with sliding/twisting bicep etc?..and why not tape the "securing-tejp" on the inside...just playing 20 questions here..it`s really fun to discover new things in Movies you`ve seen soooooo many times....for instance, in the cell block area when they are pind down, in one shot Luke is missing a shoulder bell and in the next it`s back on...just recently caught that

Turns out I am a klutz coulden't keep my hands of the helmet and started cutting away, all is well and then there's the brow....cut It to short...measured the inside..doh!!....I know the ears will cover some...can it work or should I get a new one? The ones in the movie aren't perfect but Is this a lost cause.... Beautifull helmet though

A Aha! I did wonder but figured it was some sort of protection... I´ll use that tip, thank you Sir Screen accuracy should be the highest level of approval I think I`ve read somewere that the interior strapping is of no concern when applying as long as it don`t affect the "look" ......anyways.... I think I´ll let the bicep hang loose for starters....and, never seen the first option before

I felt like such a klutz for not beeing able to perform a relatively easy task so had to check it out first thing this morning and now I feel better still the matter of getting some tension though
