Thanks for the info Glen! Appreciate you!

I appreciate the info. I’m trying to do my due diligence by researching as much as I can before pulling the financial trigger of buying a kit to build. Just want to get it right, so thank you all for the responses.

Dunning–Kruger is a hell of a drug.

Updated for future use.

I think we can all relate to this at 1 point but sadly this is me right now.

One thing, to me it looks like the border of the 3 front parts and the side panels has a more brighter red than the border of the rear parts. Rear parts border looks like the border is made out of the fabric itself

Congratulations

Hi Neil, welcome to FISD A good source of information to get you started can be found here. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/

Troop #30 (156) Best Buddies Friendship Walk Gates, NY April 27, 2024

Looks fantastic!!! So close to complete!

Just received 3 UPS tracking numbers!

That's an amazing photo 🤩

Wonderful picture from [83] - 17/02/2024 - Nice Carnaval

Congratulations! That sounds like a fantastic start already!

Right? It's always a great opportunity to catch up and do some silly stuff! [66] 28.03.2024 -- Retirement at the Airbase Jagel A long time member of our local airbase got discharged and sent into retirement. Since he's been at the airbase for decades and was well loved, it was decided to celebrate the occasion in a special way. He's a huge fan of StarWars and so they invited us to visit him on his last day at the base. But before that, us troopers got shown around the base. We got an in-depth explanation of the Tornado aircraft -- it's design, variants, roles and history -- and were even allowed to sit in one for a quick picture and to ask some detailed questions. Truly a crazy feeling to be sitting on the pilot seat, knowing just what the aircraft is capable of. The mechanics were just as excited to show us everything as we were to see everything, so we almost ended up missing lunch. Never let it be said that they aren't great hosts! The food was good, even if we had to rush. Then it was time for us to show up during the ceremony. We observed during the whole ceremony, listened to the speeches, saluted the retiring member one last time -- and were, of course, available for pictures with both him and everyone else who was interested. After everyone had gotten their pictures and most people had left, they had handed over the check of money they had collected for charity for this event. One of my shortest troops yet, but nevertheless a really interesting one! TK-66744 signing off

Can't wait to see this one finished. Looks great.

Work and life have been much busier than I anticipated, so I haven't been able to make much progress on my Legacy, despite my goal of having most of the armor complete by a major convention the last weekend of April. I made the best of the situation and made the little progress I could and accepted that I would use the con to test out as much of the armor as I could. As this armor requires many alterations for me, I do not want to rush anything and make mistakes! I was able to wear most of the armor to Indy PopCon on Saturday (April 27th), and even though I had an incomplete set of armor, I amazed and impressed my fellow members of Star Wars Indiana! I was pleasantly surprised myself as I pulled it off better than I had anticipated! Here are a few photos! As my helmet is not complete, I went with a wig and some makeup to complete the look! And we were able to get a photo with Xavier Jimenez (Tusken Chieftain from The Mandalorian)! As can be seen in the photos, major things to complete are the lower leg armor, the helmet, and the belt boxes. I also wore different boots than what would be approvable (I didn't want to worry about such a tall heel during this con). Many, many more details need to be completed as well. I need to add shims and apply ABS paste to the sides of the thighs, the forearms, and parts of the top strap of the chest armor. My biceps and shoulder bells need to overlap a bit more, so adjusting those straps will be necessary. There is a tiny bit of a visible gap between the top of the abdominal plate and the bottom of the chest plate, so more strapping needs to be secured (I had previously put 3 straps on the interior of this area, but only secured 2 of the straps as I wondered if that would be enough. Well...looks like all 3 need to be secured when I wear this). Also, as there is a visible gap between the abdominal and kidney plate I will want to extend those edges to close that gap. Fortunately, I knew most of these issues before doing the test at the con, so few of these corrections to make were unanticipated. Work continues!

Congrats Chris, and welcome to the ranks! Being behind the helmet is so cool, isn't it?! And by the way, do you have plans to submit your armor for Expert Infantry?

Congratulations Trooper!!!
