snipedoc2001[TK] Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Looks excellent. Aiming high is definitely the way to go. I made that mistake of just aiming for basic and having to redo things that would've been easier from the get go. Keep up the great work! 1 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 This is coming along great! Another very clean build, nice work Mike. 1 Quote
batmanmike Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Posted January 21, 2020 A couple more photos...finally coming together! Need to make some more snaps, will probably trim up a few to make them look nicer. Thoughts!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

ABS80 Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 Mike Great job! You can cut off the big rear tabs on the shoulder bridges if they are too long for you, I did my bridges 2" longer than the original to accomodate larger bodies, the movie original didn't have big tabs on the back.
