Hi Friends,My name is Mike. I started the journey to join the 501st back in 2015 with help from Big Gulp and Culp. Due to life being... well, life... I was not able to finish my TK kit until today (thanks to Culp and Andrew for helping me through the final touches). I am reintroducing myself to the group so I can begin the application to join DSG.Hope to troop with you all soon!Sincerely,Mike S.

I ended up trimming an inch from each side of the ab plate and kidney plate and increased the curve of both pieces with hot water/heat gun. That being said, I have seen people pull an RS commission kit out of the box and have it fit them very well. I guess it's all going to depend on your body size. Unless you have have a small body frame like me, theres a good chance the kit will fit you very well. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Thanks for looking over my build , it's amazing to see what others can see and I can't when putting it together! Love it. The attention to detail is just mind blowing.

Final cuts on the Left Shin. Same heating on the shin to get it to align with the upper section.

And here is the complete setup. Straight away after taking these pictures, I could see a few adjustments that need to be fixed. 1. The left forearm is slightly higher up compared to the right forearm, it has to be lowered. 2. The left thigh had twisted too far, I only need to twist it back into the correct position. Apart from that, do you see any other tweaks and fixes that might be required?

Thanks for the kind remarks everyone, I'm glad to see my hard work is paying off. I've done the inner strapping for the torso

Appreciate it! Thanks

You should be fine with those, if questioned you can use those references I posted above

I'm really happy for this too, as FISD stuff can be traded here easily and doesn't require a FB membership.

Welcome back and do share some pix. We always like looking at builds and new suits.

Not sure How everyone is situated but we have a few weeks left before elections that could be used to put thought into these CRL's. Hopefully they get the attention they deserve after the fun and games of the 501st political season. Just wanted to bump the thread to keep it front of mind

I sense a disturbance in the Force sorry been deep in Covid lockdowns, child wrangling and pulled on to some TV gigs. Please contact me if you need something. I’m hoping to start pulling armor again early next year
