Hey Troops,

Fantastic job on the armour dude.

 

as a side note, having just spent the weekend here in Blighty at the National Space Centre StarWars weekend with Robert Watts and John Mollo i can tell you these guys are mightily impressed with the innovation and quality of the 501st costumes.

On more than one occasion they both said that our costumes are far far better than what were used in the movies.

Robert in particular was blown away. He couldnt get over the fact that bits just didnt drop off (as they did while filming the movies).

As it was, the strapping was decided on at the last minute in Tunisia just before shooting began.

obviously we've had 10 years odd of practice but i thought it was fantastic how these two truly appreciate the work that goes into it all.

 

Well done again Curtis.

Thanks and good luck, just remember to test fit and trim everything to each part of your body and label each piece left or right so you dont mix them up. Take your time and it will fit you a lot better.

I already start my AP project. just following your steps.

 

:slute:

 

and need ask a question,how do you handle your thigh part? 1st of all,my thigh too big,I have no idea how to reduce. and 2nd of all,when I guled the front side,the back side have a huge slit.

 

and your shin part are same? I mean right calf totally same with left calf.

[Bigturc]

even sung - yes, the AP kit comes mirrored on the thighs and calves, and arms too.

So you basically have 2 sets of right side.

In the pic below, there are three large "tabs" or "buttons" on the right side of the mold. Does anyone know what they are for? Where do they go on the armor?
