  5. Jill's TK Build

    lol, agreed, we did quite a bit of cutting and trimming as we went. We were talking about taking a heat gun and molding the forearms a little more to my shape. Also the chest piece flaps around alot so we're going to secure that with some straps on the side...everytime i lean over it hangs off my shoulders in an odd way. I just heard back from my GML and he says I should know by tomorrow..still have my fingers crossed, and will all night lol. :icon_beg:

    Hahaha thanks!! It is huge, and weighs a tons...not something I'd want to carry around all the time I think :shok:

     

    Wish I was able to for Halloween, but we ran into a "glue" issue so I finally finished it last night. My husband got to dress up for a day at work, so at least Stormtroopers were represented there that day lol...definitely plan on going to the local Christmas Parade though (once I'm approved)

    Ok, so the Mom's been in town from overseas so I haven't had as much time as I'd like, but considering I really would like to be done by Halloween, I'll be rushing along finishing things for good!

     

    So far, my shoulder straps are half-way finished; I've connected the kidney plate to the butt plate, and the kidney plate to the ab plate. I've also painted all my ab buttons and the left shin is almost completely done. Getting there! I've had to trim down the sides of the butt plate, kidney plate, chest plate, and ab plate due to my size but so far its working out great! :) I'm also lucky to have the help from a husband who JUST finished his armor...tends to make things move faster! More pictures coming shortly...

    That's a great idea!! I would never have thought to trim there. Belt hides everything....nice!!!

     

    Jill! What kind of armor do u have?

     

    I have ATA ABS Armor. I can already see everyone has a wealth of knowledge, thanks to everyone in advance! And I definitely wont be trimming the thighs from the bottom lol, I've already learned alot just from reading the discussion on here. ;) This weekend my husband is finishing the last bits of his armor and then we'll be moving on to mine...can't wait to be finished!

    Hello! :smiley-sw013:

     

    My name is Jill and I'm nearing the end of my TK Build. I've already done all the trimming and now I'm to the "putting it all together" part of the journey...I'm from NC and will be joining the Carolina Garrison, along with my husband ("out0fstep" on the forums), who's aiming to be a Heavy weapons Trooper. Can't wait to finally get everything finished!

     

    Below are pics of where I am so far. I'm a shorter/smaller person (5ft 6) so I may have some questions down the line about making everything "fit" correctly, and it seems this would be the best place to be!

     

    Nice to meet everyone and any constructive criticism or advice you may have is welcomed! I'll be posting updates as I progress with my build.
