There's a few photos I missed out . And looking at my armour to take these photos proved that I needed a bit of paint touching up ! First the six rivets down the left side of the body . As you can see...plenty worn away paint , so after a little touch up .... Next was the knee rivets, again they needed new paint . And the insides also And finally a photo of the snap under the right arm . I think that's my photos done...sorry for the delays guys ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Next that dMn butt plate . My thigh suspenders have two poppers , Ive dropped them to the second popper . This lowers the thighs a tad , and gives more clearance . When trooping I always use the lower popper , but I thought for the photos I'd use the higher one ...doh . The other problem was that the elastic holding the butt to the backplate had lost its elasticity due to age and fatigue . Replacing the elastic holds everything in a better position . Sorry about the mirror photos , I was home alone . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Next the drop boxes . Schoolboy error here , as I'd let the elastic loop holding them onto the belt slip inside the popper attaching the belt to the stomach . Taking the belt off and putting the elastic loop in the correct place brought the boxes in line with the edge of the belt . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks guys . The dressing issues I'll look at tonite , I'll lengthen the straps that hold up my thighs a little bit , and tighten up the elastic loops holding my butt plate up . Hopefully this will help the alignment . I'll do it and post a photo . The biceps aren't attached to the shoulder bell, so the uneven biceps in one of the shots was a dressing issue that I am aware of and will address . The teeth I'll sort also , no big deal . Photos when done . The TD is an issue . Of course I can paint my screws better, and move the brackets out a bit ...but if I drill the lower hole to be nearer the end of the strap, I'm left with a vacant un-screen accurate empty hole . My brackets are first issue RS from years ago ( as is the whole suit) and I know they are using screen accurate alloy brackets these days . I may have to shoot over there and buy the later brackets .

The mandalorien tk suit is estimated to go for eight to ten grand ... unbelievable . RS props will sell you a brand new ,exactly the same , for one and a half grand allin , built to fit you . The guy selling it has apparently already ordered a replacement from RS ...lol... good on him if he gets that for it ! Can't blame a guy for trying .

This armour , which is a bad recast of modified fx armour , is better suited to r.o.t.j. Armour , as that's what it is very loosely based on .
