I hope so, as I do it all the time

Here you go - straight from Expert Infantry and Centurion applications

Given how well frankenhelm turned out (Yes, I should have used the correct gray paint, (Maybe I'll go back and fix it one day) It "should" turn out pretty well

And since when did have I ever done anything easy

Hiya. Ah yes - I meant back (same as rear, really). [emoji3]

Welcome back. :-)

Well guys I'm back after a few months away and it's time to crack on with my build.. drilling 5mm pilot holes my first job using my mate's pillar drill.. Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk

Okay this is good because right now, with that distance, my hands just squeeze through with some minor scratching. No blood yet, so I think it's good. Yeah, that's good advice, I'll cut a 15mm strip and take some photos to show how it lines up. But what do you mean by the "back" vs the "rear"? Looking at Uswrath's post, I've figured what front vs back is, and upper vs lower, but not what "rear" would mean. As long as the ridges can be visible, then I think it will work. To give you an idea of where it's at, right now the gaps between the two bicep pieces are both about 7mm, with my thinnest compression top on. Anything gaps tighter than that, and the tape pops off. So if I used a 15mm cover strip, that should allow me to glue it to 4mm on each ridge, keeping a few mm of the ridge exposed on both sides. Does this make sense to anyone?

Definitely seem like the "average size guy". I would also tell you to have your undersuit/shirt on when fitting as well. I know it doesn't seem like it would make a difference but it will. Honestly, looking at that second pic with your hand pointing up it looks like you have tons of room. I am a bigger guy and went bigger on the cover strips (not much 15mm to 18mm) and spaced the ridges a little further out both on the biceps and forearms. I did trim everthing prior to sizing and regretted it afterward on the biceps and forearms. Looks to me like you don't have anything to worry about. March on trooper!

Some update at last... wanted to know if the placement for the ammo knee was good.. front Inside other thigh shins Helmet third paint.. covers and mesh to fit.. need to adjust the s profile will also adjust the lens small gap on the eyes and also want to shape it more. I am also ordered some padding. I totally messed up the shoulder bells but getting some replacements I have a big belt sander a little over the top its actually very easy to cut and sand live and learn.

Yep, looking good matey. :-) Following the pic that Daniel posted, you’re not far off. Btw, need me an RS lid - they are a whole load of perfectly imperfect wonky goodness. Mmmmm... [emoji39]

Well then - Congratulations Trooper Just to be clear, you will need to make the request here in order for your TK status to show. Regarding the gap it’s as you say not mentioned in the CRL (only overlap issue) however the goal is to have them as tight as possible, just like the Troopers in the movie

Thanks Dan, Will definitely take some photos in the undersuit during the week. [emoji4] was on the go between gardenwork, kid-wrangling, dog-walking, and the workshop, so this was just a quick few snaps before the missus caught me slacking off [emoji1] lol Btw, your own build thread has been a great source - thanks!!!

Thanks for that pic. Hoping to get the ears sorted today. Watch this space haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only a little progress has been made over the past 2 weeks due to a wedding last weekend and Thanksgiving yesterday, but I didn't want to leave you popcorn eaters hanging for too long. I'm finally seeing some progress! I've finished the gluing of the arm pieces as well as the long, arduous task of removing the excess glue. Today I glued up the fronts of the thighs. I've put in orders at Amazon and Ebay for the snaps and whatnot and am hoping to get started on the internal strapping soon!

Gorgeous. Bravo. It's been a thrill to watch this project. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
