Airborne Trooper

Great read and congrats to the new EIB and Centurion! I had no idea that MEPD was around longer than FISD. I'll be spending much of the winter playing Battlefront and Guitar Hero!

Europe always gets stuff early and cooler cars than the U.S.

I don't think they go on pre-sale here in the US until a little after 8PM EST. Monday Night Football will have the official trailer and shortly after the tickets are suppose to go on sale. I'm hoping they do a midnight release!

I spent all weekend finishing up and start weathering this week. We are both almost done!

If it's not too late, you may want to reconsider using Dritz snaps. They are cheap for a reason.

Yeah I was thinking the same, remove more return edge off the bottom of the bells.

If I didn't have a pack I still have to buy and helmet electronics on my wish list maybe I could persuade her. lol

Maybe it depends on what they have on hand. I got my legs last month no issue. Be patient, it's the weekend and a lot of these guys do this on the side.

Looking good! Want to modify my hyperfirm into a Bapty for me lol?

Had to look up what a Silhouette Cameo is. Looks cool but no way the wife would let me buy it to make a few stencils

Return edges as to be removed on the wrist side. Everything else is optional. I got rid of the top return on my forearms to make more room. A lot of the returns depend on your strapping method, making more room, and eliminating pinching.

Improvise, overcome, and adapt. Looking good!

I already told you to email [email protected]

I widened mine a bit more but be careful not to go too high. You don't want to remove going into the tube section of the curve.

AM2.0 thighs are what you're going to want. I bought just thighs and shins a few weeks back. Email him at [email protected]

A lot of troopers remove the bottom return edge from the shins anyways because they tend to chew up your boots.

So awesome to see more sandtrooper builds. Looks like you've got the ABS paste down. You can always do a second pass to get rid of those little pockets. What's nice about doing the way you did is that you can still use the original cover strip size.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! If you haven't already, join MEPD and check the CRL. The 2015 CRL updates have just been legion approved and there's a few changes to the T-21 for the upper level requirements. Here's an awesome link for the sling: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=4415&st=0

You're going to find quite a few of these little gaps. It's not a big deal because some of these areas will get trimmed down, covered with knee plates, etc. For the ones not hidden, that's where ABS paste or iron comes into play. Keep all of your scraps. I bought a cheap plastic 3 drawer dresser from Wal-Mart and one drawer is dedicated to scraps alone.

That looks about right but don't trim the sides until after you've got everything pieced together and fitted. You may need the extra space.

The bubble lenses are for a Hero build. I would pick up the flat piece from trooperbay if you're going Stunt. But anyways, here's a method I've seen several use: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31848-kredals-anh-hero-build-am2/?p=414500

Superb! I have a drawer full of scrap ABS to never run out of material for potential ABS paste.

Get yourself a free Photobucket.com account and upload pictures there. Then direct link them in your posts. FISD only gives so much storage space anyways.
