And...you totally should..or...there`s always Pauls armor, you really should get one of each

Feel better soon, Daniel.  Oh - and if I'm still up for it, I think this is my next build:

Or a first order snowy.  Make it hard on myself.

Yeah, eventually... hopefully.  It almost happened instead of the TD.  My wife and son both wanted me to do the DeathTrooper.  I wanted dirt and a BFG.

And...

....big enough for you??

[TheSwede[TK]]

After some R&R (man-flu) I’m back at it again, not at a massive speed but picking away and enjoying the build rather than in a hurry to get it done, trimmed the torso and drilled a few holes and put some elastic in

[TheSwede[TK]]

And now the brackets on the rear pieces are done, time to call it a night 

[wook1138[TK]]

Good to see you back at it!  Is that elastic along the left ab to kidney connection?

And good to be back, and yepp that`s correct

[TheSwede[TK]]

Fiddling away and try to saver the moment of building

Painted the screws and side rivets

 

Cut some coverstrips for the legs, already know how wide they need to be and in my case they are around 21-22 depending on how accurate I measure

And by having them I could start cutting the front of the thighs as I´m using the strips as a guide on how much to trim and I marked them so I know which goes were...here they are and that`s a wrap for today

[TheSwede[TK]]

Todays mission was shoulder bells...used my TM:s as a guide and well not much to it, draw a line, cut, sand and glue som elastic and you’re done  

 

And that’s it, time to shower and head home to watch football or soccer as some of you call it - it’s a derby - veeeeery important game

[TheSwede[TK]]

On a sidenote: my team won 2-0 woop woop

 

Anyways.....finished the shins and here is were I deviate from RS as I´m not a fan of the two "outer" pairs (2 outer right and 2 outer left) one gets with the kit, so I bought some TM Shins. Sniperplate is RS though so one can safely say the plastics match

Looking Good Trooper!

[TheSwede[TK]]

Spending a day of work with working on the Kit 

[TheSwede[TK]]

Progress of the day was to complete the thighs namely adding the ammobelt, elastic and sand it smooth also did a fit-check, pretty happy with the look and that I could manage stairs quite easily this time so that was good 

 

And I coulden`t resist taping it up for a full body - I have a good feeling about this

 

[wook1138[TK]]

It's coming along awesome, Daniel!  It looks so clean and perfect - you'll have to fix that

With the right thigh you could allign the top as the ammo box covers the mis alligned bottom

Actually you alligne this lower detail and cut the tops or leave as is.

 

I`m emulating this Trooper and you can see he has the mis-match, however I need to cut the coverstrip a bit to follow the "steps" as one can se here.

[MrSnrub[501st]]

Oh, interesting! Great build so far!

[TheSwede[TK]]

Happenen to glance att the milage when I set of to work on the suit and here’s were it landed when I arrived - I have a good feeling about this  (it’s my TK-ID)

[TheSwede[TK]]

And...my team won yet another important game (1-0) derby against the team in the lead of the league an hour ago  (my team is second - early in the season but still) so that’s also a plus

here’s were I am right now - torso is complete and going to start working on the arms

 

I think the belt is a pretty good match for ”my” Trooper

[sandtrooper[501st]]

Man, matching that weathering is going to take some time.  You're doing terrific so far!
