Hello, everyone. My name is Matt, and I just got approved here in North Texas with the Star Garrison. Everyone on the forum has been awesome, and I was referred to this are to continue my journey, so to speak. I would like to request access. https://www.501st.com/members/searchresults.php?searchfield=81576&criteria=tkid Thanks again.

Thank you!

Thanks. I really do value and appreciate your feedback. This build (and getting approval) has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I really wanted to represent my TK as best as I possibly could. But, I know there's always room for improvement. The bicep armor was actually one of the more challenging pieces because of my size. I'm 6'-0" and 225 lbs. I had to get a little creative with them in order to widen them enough to fit my arms while keeping the cover strips within spec width. Wasn't easy, lol.

The link with instructions on how to upload photos worked great. Thank you for that information.

Thank you. I will definitely be spending more time on these forums growing and learning; it's been a great resource for sure and I'm honored to finally be a part of it. I will definitely be submitting my photos in the future for possible higher consideration (Hopefully), as well. (I kind of got the bug now, haha).

TK -81576 reporting in! This has been an amazing journey, and one I couldn't have done without the help of a lot of great people from my local garrison. Becoming a part of this organization has been a dream of mine for such a long time, and I can't wait to start trooping. I was extremely fortunate to have several members of my local garrison work with me at armor parties, etc., helping me navigate the ins and outs and keeping me from throwing up when I may (or may not have) made the wrong cuts haha. I purchased my TK kit from RS Propmasters and spent the past several months completing the build. This has been an extremely satisfying and awesome adventure, and I can't wait to start on the next one! https://imgur.com/lxl0lTz https://imgur.com/lxl0lTz https://imgur.com/lxl0lTz https://imgur.com/lxl0lTz https://imgur.com/5I0w1kP

This is extremely helpful. Thank you. I've already started the sizing/trimming process and was worried I was taking too much off. My arms are a little bigger so I'm having to thin out the edges quite a bit to get a comfortable fit. Looking at reference photos online when I started were a good start but the ones you just provided give me a lot more confidence with what I am doing.

I really do appreciate all of your advice, and I'll definitely be dropping a line as I go along for more of it. I'm starting today with the biceps and will progress from there slowly but surely. I feel those will be a good point to start from working with measurements and cutting strips, etc. I am definitely excited to start the process, but there is truth to what I've been told when in comes to making that first cut...I want to throw up. haha. I'm guessing that's normal.

Thanks again to all of you. I'll definitely be posting my progress as I go along!

I really appreciate it. I've decided to go with the TK (Stunt) from ANH, and I purchased my build kit from RS Propmasters. I've been watching their build videos on YouTube and found them very insightful and interesting. I've also been watching a few others on top of reading the threads on this site. I know there's definitely a lot more that goes into the process, but my OCD is ready for the challenge haha. I was initially torn on whether to do stunt or hero, but the stunt spoke to me and seemed like a the best fit.

Hello everyone. I wanted to first say thank you to everyone on this platform. As a newbie to this (trying to decide what to build, etc.) I've literally spend the last few months diving down this rabbit hole of information. It's was a little overwhelming at first, but as I started getting more knowledgable about the information layout it definitely got easier. And I'm very appreciative of the knowledge you have all been willing to share, especially for people like me who are just getting into this. I've been to a few of the build parties with my local chapter, helped volunteer at some of their events and I couldn't be more excited to start the process myself. I just got my TK kit in (much to the surprise and chagrin of my wife haha), but in truth she thinks it's pretty cool, and I can't wait to get started building it. Thanks again.
