That is a good idea about the snaps. I dont have stirrups for my legs or my arms, and I havent had any trouble without them. I actually got my "under armor" at the Walmart at Spring Creek and 75. Pretty cheap, like $10 for each. They dont stock them for very long, so grab them when you can. Plano is a nice town, I lived there for a few years until recently, still go there quite often

I have the 2 piece method, and even though you cant move that much, it will still ride up. I have shared my dislike to Tim at many events. The best way to combat this is to tuck the shirt in the pants as best you can. Also if you are worried about it showing skin where the kidney and butt plate meet, place a small amount of black fabric on the inside, between the 2 pieces. That way if it rides up, no skin will be visable

Yes in that picture Carrie is a little shorter than Hamill, but I read that she was so much shorter than Ford, that she had to stand on a box to stay in fram. Is she standing on a box in these?

happy belated birthday, brother

Thanks Brothers for everything

Yeah, it is fitting much better now. I am glad I made the changes: Speaking of which here is updated pics

No worries brother, I have been meaning to glue it down, I just havent had the time.Thanks for the advice. Added a picture of the green lenses post #10

My straps are Velcroed on the front, My lenses are green.

Here are some updated pictures I am standing a little weird in the 1st picture due to a broken foot, so that is why it looks like I am uneven on one side

New pictures added to post #1

UPDATE!!!! New Pictues Armor= AP Helmet = AP Blaster = Hyperfirm.

Im just going to paint my bucket the rank that I am on this board...... and repaint everytime I get "promoted". That way it will make me want to post more, and help other troopers

Im getting a temporary unavaialble as well

Yeah, my AP build was a beast. I never made a build thread, I wish I did. The Trooper that created the thread that I linked to, should be able to help you. PM him and see what advice he has.

I know, but it will fly by. Do you really want to rush, and increase the risk of making a mistake? I have never worked on ATA, and I know its "affordable trooper armor", however, it is still pricey. Trust me take your time, post pics, get tips, there are a million ways to construct armor...... Contact your local 501st garrison, and see when the next armor party will be. Here is a recent build of ATA, ---- there isnt a step by step process, and it took this trooper from May to October to complete it (again they could have had a schedule issues, or not).
