Thanks so much for taking the time to post pics and describe what you are doing. I'm waiting on my AP kit right now, and this helps so much. Your doing a great job! I can't wait to see your finished trooper!

I'm trying to get the ball rolling again on my build after the disappointment from some doggy snaps.So instead of trying to replace the them Ive added Velcro for extra grab.

 

 

The ab and chest plate one of the few places left that I haddn't added the snaps, I used a better quality ones and doubled up.

 

[DudeSidious]

Got the ball rolling again.Ive just added the shims and snaps to the kidney section and I'm happy with the results.

 

 

 

 

 

Torso assembled

[DudeSidious]

Started on the drop boxes.Theres no inner drop boxes with the AP kit so I made my own.I think you need these for approval right?

 

 

 

 

[DudeSidious]

Looks great but next time I'll just rivet it to the back.

 

 

 

[bigtrev503]

What did you use for the backs of the drop boxes?

[DudeSidious]

Just some spare ABS that come with the kit.

[DudeSidious]

ab buttons cut out and glued.

GREAT JOB and great photos.

I ordered my AP armor 4 weeks ago.

Every day I look for the delivery man to drop of a mountain of boxes for me containing my armor.

So far no armor

KEEP up the good work

[DudeSidious]

thanks Craig.

send him an email,does'nt hurt to ask.

[DudeSidious]

Here I'm gluing on the shoulder straps.After I cut em out I used a heat gun to bend them to the shape I needed.Then marked out with masking tape where they need to be glued.I glued them 1 at a time 24 hrs on each.

 

 

[DudeSidious]

Today I'll be working on the strapping for the arms and thighs.

Almost there .
