The Odoban absorbers arrived last night. For anyone looking for them they are about the size of a can of chewing tobacco/small hockey puck. They are called "Odoban Solid Odor Absorber". One full day of the absorber being under the helmet on the shelf and I swear there is already a huge difference. I think these are going to do the trick.

S.H.Figuarts are getting in on the action. Always nicely detailed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

yes but those still look too small, not all were painted similar as long a you stay within the bump size your ok, your refference photos is one of the smaller ones but in general they are bigger

Matthew, I would say they are a touch on the small side - too small for Centurion? - I don't know. this is what I did: From my TK build: for the buttons I traced a 7/16" circle on the button for guidance. 7/16 might be a little small, but 1/2" seemed a little large and these were the only sizes I had. to get the template to sit flat on the button, I had to sacrifice one and cut it up. For the Empire... I used a very small brush to do the outline of the buttons. Coat one of the grey paint done.

Looks fantastic Brian, great job

Painted the ab buttons this evening. Is this what they are looking for with Centurion approval?

The knights of Ren, very reminiscent of the Seven Samurai. Be nice to see them have a good bit of screen time.

Duane, before Hurricane Katrina, I didn't know they existed either. Frankly, I was skeptical when I bought them, but after about a week, I could tell a big difference. I just hope it works for you.

So after some planning yesterday, started trimming, and some snarky mental commentary while doing so. Today I finished rough trimming everything today (woot!), take a look and tell me what you think I wasn't very clean on the joins of the legs and arms, because I think it'll probably all get cut off anyway And I'm going to need to sand either on the weekend or a day I come home relatively early. [original thought process] III. Assemble Armor A. order of attack 1. corset 2. torso 3. legs 4. arms B. Trim armor C. Fit pieces D. glue/attachments [New plan of attack] III. Assemble Armor A. Rough trim pieces B. Corset [torso has to fit over this, so this is core of build] C. Torso [possible put off until after legs?] D. Legs [so if I goof up while learning, it's not front and center] E. Arms [need to figure out attachment] Images: 1. Corset 2. Torso 3. Legs 4. Arms 5. Others but I have 2 new problems! 1 is a lady body problem, the other is a 2 is a living somewhat alone problem So to squick all the boys in the room, my period just started! Why does this matter? Like many ladies, I bloat/swell on my cycle... that means places that have lots of fatty tissue (tummy, chest, butt), and places where there are lots of capillaries but very few lymphatic veins (hands, feet, face) are bigger than usual. That means I'm veeeery loath to try to fit the corset pieces, since it might not fit right later. I'm also going to use that as the excuse for why it looks like the butt piece doesn't need trimming. Not because I have a big butt. Nope nope blame the menstrual cycle. Also, when I tried to fit the corset piece on, I couldn't figure out how to tape it so I could mark and see it. Living alone problems.... So anyhow, my landroomie will be back on the weekend, and hopefully by then the bloating will have gone down enough that I will be able to ask her to help me fit the corset pieces. In the meantime, I think I'll tackle none swelled areas, such as shoulders, biceps, and the backplate with detonater. YES! I made a post about periods in this forum!

I had to expand on the kidneys. I m a bit thicker than the standard trooper
