Congratulations Karin, great build

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

nice job on the boots

 

Thanks for bringing it to my attention mate

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Well, the real suits had male snaps there and that's how most people chose to do. But if you don't care then keep it.

 

Cheers for that Mathias, the requirements arent that specific they just state snap, so I will leave it as it is serving a purpose. If it bugs me at a leter date I can always sort it easy enough.

Looking good! But why did you add the female snap on the ab instead of the male part?

 

 

The elastic I attach to it is male, does it matter? Can always change it, if it makes a difference

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Didnt think I was going to add the odd bits and pieces to the armour, but as I am awaiting clearance and the armour was sitting there and I had the bits, I got the itch to do it so here we go:

 

Right AB snap

 

 

Left AB brads

 

 

Butt snaps

 

 

 

Hope they are ok lol

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

you might want to whiten the elastic on your boots

This is what I use with great results http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c5e6d93fc

 

 

Learning from the constructive comment from Geordietrooper and the product link from Paul "TrooperMaster" I have whitened the boot elastic

Lid looks great

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

New pics with various adjustments and fixes.

 

New undersuit remove baggyness as I had bought a large instead of medium

 

So Biceps hang better (Thankyou Gary for pointing that out)

 

Belt now held with snaps and ends trimmed to remove excess

 

 

Had to trim the rear of the thigh and shins as was losing too much blood from pinching, but worked out ok and can now move injury free, tightening some straps has allowed more clearance around the butt which now also prevents injury

Congratulations Joe, been an awesome thread to watch

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Belt now has Ab snaps to hold it in place

 

Boot elastic dye ordered

 

Awaiting contact in respect of helmet voice kit

 

Armour adjustments made to better fit thighs with butt.

 

 

Shouldnt be long for clearance hopefully

Looks great!

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

A most AWESOME (and may I say beautiful) set of armour! I'm trying to get there myself. Well done!

 

Thank you Jenny you are most kind Good luck with your build

[UKG Trooping for Blueray]

Great thread awesome job guys

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Thanks for the tips guys, I will check out that Dye Paul

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

you might want to whiten the elastic on your boots

 

I found the dye for the boots did whiten the elastic to an extent but obviously leather dye is not intended for fabric especially elastic I am assuming it would be difficult to find something that will stay on elastic, whats your tip for whitening it further?

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Wow, it looks really great on you, well done! My only suggestion would be to get a black under shirt that is tighter/more form fitting so it's not so baggy around the elbows. Congrats on the build!

 

 

Saggy elbows lol, will look into alternatives for the upper body, thanks

It appears my left drop box decided to wander lol

 

 

 

 

 

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

heres billy's ref pics for trimming

Thanks for these. Hopefully by further trimming the shin bottoms and hiking the ab to near castration position I can overcome the problem, but if not I also know that I can shave some of the thigh backing off without puttin gmy clearance at risk.

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

You see how things get confusing then, I do really appreciate your input, puts my mind back in the fun zone.

 

I think tonight though I have had enough and am going to drink and play some guitar hero, its been a busy week.

 

Cheers again Mathias for all your comments

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Well apparently someone posted on my Garrison thread that if I trim behind the knee on the thigh I wont get cleared so I will have to work either the tops of the thighs, or hope that any torso mods help

 

I have already trimmed behind the knee on the shin so I may have trouble with clearance already then I will just sell up as there will be no point living the dream to make a difference to others.

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

I have added a snap to raise the chest/ab

 

I will test fit that tomorrow and see what play there is in respect of raising the cod then I can work out how much I can trim off the butt/kidney to close the play, I think If I can get an inch and a half it will free up the thigh. I still think I need to cut out the rear of the thigh as this clashes with the rear of the knee and totally restricts movement and climbing even the smallest step.

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

The torso feels ok no problems, I have just added a snap to the abdomen/chest elastic to raise it a little higher so will re test tomorrow to see how that looks.

 

The thighs catch the back of the shin tops when worn on their own so I may have to cut a gap behind as you previously suggested so they dont collide, as this also makes stairs and steps difficult

 

Maybe I need to take something off the top of the butt or kidney to raise the butt piece?

[TM 2011 ANH Stunt Kit a.k.a My First TK]

Thigh trouble

 

I have posted on my local Garrison forum but many hands and all that.

 

I need some thigh advice as I really do think I need to trim then as I am a short a very impolite person.

 

Piccies:

 

 

 

 

 

I dont fear the cut as using the compass method I find I can keep whatever the shape is, but what do you think, do I have to? Where is best? etc etc

 

Any advice would be great, thanks all
