Bonjour Frederic. Bien Venu

Welcome to the ranks John.

Hey John! Glad to see you over here on the FISD! Your armor looks great in person. You should end up having no problem going EIB soon!

New update! All of the pieces are trimmed with the exception of the forearms, which I'll tackle tomorrow. In addition, I glued together the abdomen, and hope to begin the filling tomorrow. I did a mock fitting, and am finding that the tips of the chest dont sit flat, so I'll need a way to flatten them. Here's some pics; Abdomen before: Abdomen after: Chest before: Chest after: Yolk before: Yolk after: Back before: Back after: Spine before: Spine after: Spats before: Spats after: Hands before: Hands after: Here is the abdomen glued:

Productive night yesterday! I got a ton of the pieces cut out, and the greeblies painted! Here's the paint: Onto the cutting!

Id like to do the forearms soon, however, they feel a bit daunting.

Hello an Bonjour et bienvenue à bord

Work and life have been much busier than I anticipated, so I haven't been able to make much progress on my Legacy, despite my goal of having most of the armor complete by a major convention the last weekend of April. I made the best of the situation and made the little progress I could and accepted that I would use the con to test out as much of the armor as I could. As this armor requires many alterations for me, I do not want to rush anything and make mistakes! I was able to wear most of the armor to Indy PopCon on Saturday (April 27th), and even though I had an incomplete set of armor, I amazed and impressed my fellow members of Star Wars Indiana! I was pleasantly surprised myself as I pulled it off better than I had anticipated! Here are a few photos! As my helmet is not complete, I went with a wig and some makeup to complete the look! And we were able to get a photo with Xavier Jimenez (Tusken Chieftain from The Mandalorian)! As can be seen in the photos, major things to complete are the lower leg armor, the helmet, and the belt boxes. I also wore different boots than what would be approvable (I didn't want to worry about such a tall heel during this con). Many, many more details need to be completed as well. I need to add shims and apply ABS paste to the sides of the thighs, the forearms, and parts of the top strap of the chest armor. My biceps and shoulder bells need to overlap a bit more, so adjusting those straps will be necessary. There is a tiny bit of a visible gap between the top of the abdominal plate and the bottom of the chest plate, so more strapping needs to be secured (I had previously put 3 straps on the interior of this area, but only secured 2 of the straps as I wondered if that would be enough. Well...looks like all 3 need to be secured when I wear this). Also, as there is a visible gap between the abdominal and kidney plate I will want to extend those edges to close that gap. Fortunately, I knew most of these issues before doing the test at the con, so few of these corrections to make were unanticipated. Work continues!
