Cheers chap. Pic's aren't very good as the missus was at work. I had to hit the button with my nose on my camera (touch-screen phone) then had ten seconds to grab my lid and blaster and run outside I wouldn't recommend CFO kits for any chaps that are any bigger than me (6'1", 44" chest, 36" waist) as i'm right on the borderline for chest/back sizing. You can see the size of the shims i had to put in the thighs !

Finally at a point where i can declare this project officially finished. Spent the last month or two doing a few tweaks on my days off - - Tightening belt and adding studs so it sits at the right height - Shimming thighs and greaves so they are 'the perfect fit' - Replaced chelsea boots with TK-boots - Shortened straps on thighs so they sit higher - Tidied up corners of edging trim - Shortened and filled drop-boxes - Made custom battery packs for lid fans and ROMFX in chest - Resprayed E11

Thanks for the feedback

Well, we're all finished (i hope) I picked up some chelsea boots locally and used the terrago dye on them, came out nice. The gloves are nomex flight gloves. I wasn't happy with the thighs/greaves so reshimmed them AGAIN ! These CFO suits are not designed for chaps with big legs i tell you . . . The blaster i picked up from a friend who oddly enough had a ROTJ version he wanted to swap for a ANH version. Ker-ching ! Might still need some tweaking ? Pics

Getting there . . .

Progress today . . . Firstly Rob was kind enough to help me flare the shoulder bells ever-so-slightly so they don't slide off. I also shortened the straps that attach them to the bridges to pull them in a tad. Then i've shortened the braces slightly so the bottom half fits more flush with the top. The main job today has been finishing the thighs and greaves. They are both drying at the mo so no pics im afraid . . . Oh and i also added the trim to the torso sections. Looking ok so far ? (got to add another strap at the top of the kidney plate to join it to the front. You can see it flares a little at the mo)

Thanks for the feedback. I may well have a look at removing the braces. I've also go to trim an inch or so from the tops of the biceps as the cut-out shape is biting into my flesh at the top of the bicep. thanks

That's my armour building uniform

To add a little extra flexibility. I'm not overly concerned with obtaining any magical forum status

Hi again all. Pictures say a thousand words so here is where we are up to I've made a few adjustments since the last fitting. I've tightened up the shoulder straps holding the lower torso sections up so now the back doesn't look as 'floppy'. My main efforts at the moment are the legs. I've got the greaves shimmed and drying as we speak. The thighs have had to have a larger shim inserted. These are kind of 'half-way there' I'm also sorting the trim today I still need to source - - Gloves - Boots - Blaster kit With the ROtJ builds i understand a blaster/holster isn't actually necessary. However what of trooper would i be if i wasn't tooled up I'll update as and when
