    Nice fitment and nice photos! Looking fantastic

    Do yourself a favor and pick up some cut resistant gloves. They have them at Home Depot for like $10 and are a life saver!

    Thanks for the advice, I like how yours turned out so I'll attempt to put a return edge on first then pair it together. I have a big mason jar full of ABS paste ready to be used.

    Sorry to revive an older thread but this is a great tutorial. Did you end up putting a return edge on the shim? I couldn't tell on your final photos? I have to do this on mine but MTK also includes the notch in the kidney already. I'll have to fill that in as well with scrap and paste.
  5. Airborne Trooper
    Mine originally fit like that. I ended up having to use wider strips on the front and back. You might be able to get away with just wider on the rear but do what's comfortable and works for you.

    Oh I gotcha. I'm trying to figure out how to cut the rears in an angle so I don't have church bell knees. Luckily MTK gives a lot of extra material to work with. You've got 3 inches on height on me so I have to trim the thighs and calves
  7. Airborne Trooper
    Looks like you could pull up the thighs several inches. to give your knees some mobility. I'm on this step myself but I've got to trim at least an inch if not more since I'm too short to be a stormtrooper.

    Just remember try to stick to the original finishing strips in the front as much as possible. Not everyone has scrawny, British, stick arms so use larger in the rear where necessary.

    Before you put the end caps on the TD pipe, use it as a guide to do the curves for the battery knee pack. Trooperbay, maker of our armor, has a great video tutorial using this process.

    Fitment looks great. Start on something else or you'll become obsessed with the ears like I did. Eventually come back and thin it out some more if you want to be more canon.
  11. Airborne Trooper
    Looking good! Your almost done!

    I've been taking a long time to finish my build. Just do it as you have time and don't rush or worry over it. The point is to have fun building it!
  13. Airborne Trooper
    Congratulations! Moderator, pin this topic!
  14. Airborne Trooper
    You're off to a great start and it's nice to see another MTK build!
  15. Airborne Trooper
    Always nice to see more TD builds. Good luck with the build!

    Here comes the fun part.
  18. Airborne Trooper
    SQUEE!!!! You have some extra material to cut off on the forearms so that should help with the length. You might want to have this topic moved to the ANH Build thread
  19. Airborne Trooper
    Great job, Joe! Looking forward to seeing it all come together.
  20. Airborne Trooper
    I think the calve closure looks great. The pressure from your boot will help close it up more too. Trust in Tim! I think i may go that route in my build too after looking at yours!
  21. Airborne Trooper
    Trooperbay was offering this on his facebook page lol
  22. Airborne Trooper
    If you want, go with decals. If you want another shot you can clean it off but start with black first. Once that's dry, mask it off and fill with the grey. You may have to do so some free hand for the angled corners but might help you keep them thin and straight.
  23. Airborne Trooper
    What's the gap look like when it's on your leg?
  24. Airborne Trooper
    Much better. Just smooth out some of the rough edges.

    ^- What he said. He's SWAT and we're not
