  1. Here are the other pics... About the butt plate, I know it's sticking out WAY to far, and there is velcro that connects it to the cod piece so that it stays tight, but i didn't feel like connecting it... So that's why it's like that
  2. Thanks for the feedback, The guide I got with my set of AM said that the elastic I used on the drop boxes is where it's supposed to go, so I guess I just need to run out and pick up some white elastic. So now that I'm home I guess I'll post the pictures I said I would... I didn't feel like taking the suit off the mannequin so I just took pictures of "him", or Ken as my sister likes to call him. I had the helmet in my basement and didn't put it on him so I'm sorry if he scares you like he does me ( I try to keep the helmet on him as much as possible) . All the pieces don't fit on him which kind of sucks, but I can deal with it. The pictures I took of myself are to show you the gaps between my arm and the plastic, I saw somewhere that it's not good so I'm posting them to see if my gaps are way to wide. If you would like me to take a picture of something specific on the suit, tell me and I'll do it as soon as possible....Oh, and congrats Graeme! I would love to be able to put more money into my suit to do that, but being a high school student, I'm finding it hard to get a job . Plus I'm not able to join the 501st yet, and by the time that I am, I'm going to be in basic training. But I'm making sure to set some of my enlistment money aside so that when I get back I can build myself an EIB worthy suit.
  3. Alright, So I bought my set of AM late last July, and wound up finishing it (so that it's some what presentable) in mid September. I had posted the finished pictures on my build thread but wound up not getting any responses to how it was and what I should work on. So now I'm posting here hoping to get some needed feedback on my work. The armor is still lacking a canvas belt and thermal detonator, and I still need to find an E-11, holster, neck seal, and speaker system with the chip. The armor is nice (although very large) and goes nicely with my efx lid. These are the only pictures I have right now to show you, I'll post others tomorrow when I get the chance. The first one is of me accompanying my sister to her schools halloween party, and the second is of me at my high school's football game with an "OC" (Oldham County Colonels) painter taped to my chest piece. They let me conduct the band to play the imperial march.
  4. So I don't know if anyone else has heard of doing this or not but my buddy just came up and gave me this idea today. He said that I should get armored up and walk into a Verizon store and ask where the droids are. I got a kick out of it and would DEFINITELY do it, but sadly I don't have a sound system in my suit, and I think it would be extremely cheesy on my part to walk in and yell so they can hear me from inside my helmet. So getting back to the beginning, I was wandering if anyone had already done this already or not? Also, I'm planning on going to the Phantom Menace in my suit. Anyone else planning on it as well? I don't think it would be the smartest thing to do, especially because I wouldn't be able to put the glasses on to watch it in 3D, and sitting there for that long would be uncomfortable. But that just might be me, I still need to trim the heck out of my suit to get it fitting perfectly.
  5. Well I'm having trouble sitting down, I'm not sure if this is a problem in all suits, but I was wondering if that's something you can do in the suit. I'm not sure if I should trim my thighs more or what, so I need help. thanks! Also, I will post pics tomorrow if necessary.
  6. There's no store I can buy it from? I want to try and get it before Saturday.
  7. Hey guys, I'm SO close to finishing my suit, and I'm trying to find a canvas belt before Saturday. What kind of store sells the recommended canvas. Also, how would I connect the thermal detonator to the canvas? Thanks. -Matthew
  8. Polish the armor or the helmet.....And would i need to pick up polish from a hobby store or would a Wal-mart or normal convenient store sell it?
  9. Well I'm extremely close to ordering my first set of armor and I ran across a topic earlier on about how certain helmets don't mix and match with certain armors...So I would REALLY like to know if an EFX ESB helmet would match with the set of AM armor that i'm planning on picking up. Thanks, Matt
  10. Aw man, I would do this but I sold reach . I sold it to get Mortal Komabat ( WHICH IS AWESOME).
  11. Very cool, the Chewie hug is awesome
  12. Personally i dont like the looks of the rubies in the first place, it just bothers me. But if your going to modify it, it looks like you should get new hand guards. I'm not sure if you can buy the groin section by itself but that looks different so you might want to switch that. And that bumb on the bottom of the chest isn't there on other suits... but i dont have a suit and my advice might be completely wrong, so dont take what i say 100% seriously.
  13. I think every garrison should have one, that way we can arrive in style
