Here is me giving them a work out. Man, that grubhub order is getting late...where is that guy?

Please set you blaster for stun only when your lunch eventually arrives. That BLT (Bantha lettuce and tomato) isn't worth all the paperwork if you don't.

We had a pretty heavy storm yesterday that knocked out power and internet for a bit, so here's my day-late update. Weight at start: 191 lbs Goal weight: 150 lbs Current weight (18 July): 182 lbs I've not made any major changes in my diet or exercise routine in the last week, so I'm going to chalk those 2 gained pounds up to muscle that I've been building. Here's my updated exercise plan since I've gotten used to the original 10km bike and elliptical sessions: 15km on recumbent bike and elliptical 4 sets of 25 bicep curls using 7 lb weights Lane swimming (I'll probably be starting that up in August because the local pool keeps switching its lane swimming session times for unspecified reasons). Keep up the great work, everyone!

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for info and help! Can’t wait to begin building a TK for approval!

Clips came in and TD is finished: As far as my ab piece, I was unable to remove the discoloration using magic eraser, automotive polishing compound, or ArmorWhite. I reached out to a couple vendors for a replacement, but everyone I talked to said their kit wouldn't be compatible as it would be a noticeably different shade of white. One suggested that I could repaint my entire set of armor, which would solve the discoloration issue on the ab plate. I am open to any advice on this

Thanks for the reply guys. So @justjoseph63 you went the same route: "hero" Sterling with greeblies. My main concern with this is that the Pugman had a fake scope rail with no "hole" below but the actual CRL for ESB Stormie, despite using a Pugman with the hole filled, is not mentioning that. So, is this kind of blaster approvable?

Good to know @Doggydoc. Perhaps I'll need to upgrade. My wife sure has been patient with me as the cash keeps being funneled into this armor Great idea about the template @gmrhodes13! Definitely going to do that.

Did some glueing today.

Hot water bath can help if you don't have a heat gun, even with a heat gun you have to be very very careful. Using tape to pull the plate in position while glue is drying is also a good idea, even when using clamps and magnets, helps it from stop slipping.

So it turns out I do have an update for this little build. I really didn't think I'd have anything more once I got the binocs sealed up. I made a little carrying case. This is a cheap 50 caliber ammo box from amazon. It just happens to be the right size to house a set of bincos. I painted and weathered to match my TK armor box. Of course there's a little plaque on top. I modeled this after vintage military plaques for similar gear. It reads "A unit of stereoscopic sights and enhanced magnification." The serial has my TK number in it, the bar code is my TK number, and it is, of course, property of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. All of this exists to protect the delicate volume knob. The resin holding that in place is super thin in order for the knob to mount and spin. It seemed like that could be damaged in transport to and from troops... so a case was in order. This was my first attempt at padding the inside of a case like this. It's adequate but not too pretty. Foam wrapped in black cloth. It should last a long time though, since no foam is being touched directly when taking the binocs in and out. also... the factory put out a 2nd binoc unit. The left set of binocs belongs to @Daetrin . They're also made by @justjoseph63 and got a nearly identical bluetooth modification in my hands. Paul has taken delivery of these, so these pix aren't spoilers. I was holding off posting them till he had them in hand. Paul asked if I could do a 2nd pair, Joseph sent me a fresh electrobinocular, and the magic happened. Aside from the extra weathering, the only big difference between mine and Paul's is that his should be able to open if needed via the 5 screws on the eye plate end. Mine is epoxied shut. I also moved the red light into that grey area. It fit extremely nicely there. And, of course, Paul's set also got a transport case. I didn't want to mail it with any lesser level of protection. Enjoy the binocs Paul!!! They're set 2/2. No set 3 will ever be made... unless my daughter demands one. heh

I've had crazy network problems here which knocked me offline for several days. Painful but things are working again. And I haven't stopped working out. Over 3 weeks straight. I feel so much healthier than I have in so long.

Weekly update time! Weight at start: 191 lbs Goal weight: 150 lbs Current weight (11 July): 180 lbs I'm well on my way (weigh? Puns? Are those allowed here?) to meeting my goal and I'm glad I've got you folks for support. I should be able to start swimming in the next couple weeks, which I'm excited for because I haven't been swimming since last year.
