Gotcha. I started with amazon chelsea boots too. Your finish looks better than mine did, but they didn't work for me because they were too short on top and would pop out from underneath the armor when I walked. I ended up ordering the KT boots and they worked perfectly. I'm not saying you should do the same, but that was my experience.

Hi Jim, thank you very much for your kind words about my costume and environment. 1. My wife took the pictures, but a fellow trooper of mine (TK) is living just around the corner. He is very busy most of the time, but he def. will take the pics for my approval 2. The shoes are black chelsea boots from amazon, painted white, I will give the trick with the socks a try, thank you for that.

I have to say I am jealous of your star wars room and hallway that looks like the Tantive IV. :) Looking good. The adjustments have made a huge difference. Quick questions: 1. Do you have an assistant for your photo shoots? If not, can you get someone to help with them, local garrison person maybe? I did photos myself at first and realized I would only see flaws in my pics after I got done, took all my gear off and discovered I had something misaligned and then had to re-kit to take them. I am just wondering if someone can help with the elastics and shoe wrinkles at least to get through the photos. 2. What is your shoe maker? Is that KeepTrooping or someone else. The top of the shoe looks a bit like it's angled up too sharply and I have not noticed that on mine from KT. My shin armor pushes down a lot but I do not get wrinkling/folds like that. Would thicker socks keep them shaped better up front and prevent it from sort of collapsing into a fold.

Knowing I have missed the glory days of FISD memes... I can only crumble to the floor in despair

The elastic is very tight, you have to slip and wiggle the shoulder strap through the elastic carefully. If you put the elastic around the back plate it will hold a little better. Note the right side the elastic not on completely on one corner.

My wife took the suited up pics and to my surprise she like to be credited in the CRL Dannielle Blomqvist yep…we’re Daniel & Dannielle
