Congratulations on the kit. Hope it makes it way to you safely and you’re cleared soon.

quietly hoping i will have it for may the 4th.

May the 4th be with you, and if not Revenge of the Sixth.

It's here! Boxes turned up. Very quick test fit and have worked out areas I need to trim to fit but so happy it's finally here

Hey Piers, I am andy the CO of the Southern Cross Garrison which appears to be your home garrison based on the details in the forum post
Best bet is to throw up some images here or on the SCG forums (recruitment section is here https://www.501scg.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=23_) so we can help work out what is needed next....

 

Out of the box approvals are very rare and a lot of the time small fixes are needed so we can help you with those as well

 

Very exciting to see what you have mate!!!

Great news, you know it didn't happen unless there's pictures

Thanks I have updated my intro thread as well. I'm keen to get some photos uploaded to get ready for approval.

Most of use a photo hosting service like imgur. The forum has very limited space for posting. Here is a link to help

Many of us use a free online image host Imgur for adding photos as the forum only allows small amounts, you can find a how to here

Try the "direct link" option OR right click copy then paste into your post  

 

 

It's all about the fine tuning, a few tweaks here and there

Which armor version are you going for as well? The hand guards you put on are ESB I believe. Did the kit come with others for anh? I know mine did.

Also just in case you didn’t already know here’s some notes on the armor pieces based on your photo so you know what goes where and fitting.



Feel free to ask any questions if you are having any about the fitting of your armor. Looking good!

Yeah cos of the fitment I had to get my partner to help me put it on and the pieces for the legs are not correct. The snaps for the belt were not playing well and the boots being 2 sizes too small meant I had lost patience lol. But thanks for the tips it's a starting point just need to stay focused and not start a mando or 3d print an r2 d2 till this is done.

Yeah I figured you probably were aware, but I wanted to provide imagery if you needed it. That’s a good quality commission though!

So mine was a kit from Dave and it came with both of these hand guards. The top is for anh, so if you have those with yours that’s what you’ll go for. If not then I’d also suggest maybe getting some flexible ones as they are really nice.

It came with the rubber guards you have pictured just need to look at what gloves to use.

Good to know. Yeah for highest approval the rubber gloves where what you’d use, I did buy a few sets of rubber guards to use with my rubber gloves and nonexistent gloves.

Seems im in need of a new under suit as mine has ripped will look into options but any recommendations would be appreciated. I have a bit of trimming to do and need to sort a way of getting the thigh pieces to stay up but getting closer to submitting for approval, then i can focus on some more 3d printing of blasters.

I use compression gear from Aldi and Kmart. Works just fine

Only requirement is no logos can be seen and the stitching is black.

I purchased off ebay, but there is local compression gear available as per the above post.

[FN1313[TK]]

Yep I just grabbed some black compression top and bottom from Amazon.
