After almost 3.5 years I'm ready to wear it for the first time. I was able to get dressed on my own and it still takes a while to get it to fit properly and be able to take photos for the 501st. The knees are attached when everything is in place.

I was wrapping up my last few finals... analytical film critiques of style, genre, mise en scene & narrative for the 1974 film Chinatown, ugh. Oh, and 1500 word minimum. There was not enough coffee in the world for that!

Will fix that. Thank you for the info! Didn't noticed hat The next photo shoot will probably be next year (i.e. in 3-6 weeks). Thanks for all your advice so far and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

I appreciate the eyeball expertise! Yeah, after comparing my pic to his, and both to a MEPD Deployed level TD, I could see everything you've confirmed. I'm not writing it off as a total loss though, as I can still use it as a reference for how to/how not to assemble the new kit. I found an unassembled WTF kit that was a B pull - it's a TD, so I can hide B issues with weathering - from a local guy, still in the box, for an extremely fair price. I've already ordered a bunch of proper strapping hardware & materials that I was going to redo this one with, but they'll just get moved to the new build instead. Once the new one's finished, I can make a few minor corrections and offer this one to someone who might be a closer fit.

Right. I did the link method after I had completely spaced and uploaded the images, which is why I should not be online before I've had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Nice work. You may want to rotate your forearms, they should be inside the arms. Also watch the thigh height, slightly off. Good luck with approval
