Great build!

Thumbs up!

That's Awesome!!!!!! Thank so very much, It's been a long journey , a dream I had since I was a kid and I couldn't have done it without your help and all the resources of the FISD , this is indeed a great community and I'm honored to be part of it now. I definitely will try to make some abs paste, The only reason I didn't do it it was cuz I lost a bit of weight and I was hoping to get rid of the shim altogether , but that's wishful thinking hahah. Thanks everybody for the help and kind words Oso

I got asked about the sniper plate , so here's a few photos Yeah the sniper plate is a bit problematic, but not impossible. What I did first is I took a long time to kind of ''present it '' like with your hands and a bit of tape, to try to place it where you think it looks right, now , the sides aren't going to fit, so try to see how far from ''ideal' you have to move, the less the better, then I said, ok the sides I can bend a bit, so I took a scale modeling iron and slowly started to heat and bend , it really softens the plastic so you can shape it for it to fit the sides of the shin, I even sanded the shin sides a bit, It's ok the plate is going to cover it , also I made marks on pencil so I could erase them, and I think I cut a bit of the side ends too, Also I added a couple of plastic squares of the same abs because I found that if you place the plate directly over the shin, the two sides end up too far behind.I hope this makes sense, So it's just a matter of patience and slowly heat and bend, here are some photos that I just took for you to see , I hope it helps

Thanks guys!!

I finally finished the Blaster, here are a set of pics, Thanks everybody for the help!!

Hi FISD !! Here Tk 50151 requesting clearance !! thanks http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=16589&costumeID=124

I have a bit of a gap on mine too, no biggie, the ones used in the movies had all sorts of gaps!

Well I painted the blaster black and now I'm adding some weathering

Sounds good,, I'm looking forward to finally get my tk number and EIB

Ok, I worked on the few last details and I'm pretty happy with the result. I hope it meet standards, and if it does I'm a bit lost in terms of the next step, should I send the photos to the 501 first or request EIB?

Yeahh, That was all I had hahah, I will try to give some brass accents with some scale model paint I have

ok ready to prime Ok ready to prime it

awesome built!

Good idea!!! do you know if there's a canon for that? like the originals had them up or down? or it really doesn't matter either or?

I'm back at the blaster, how does this look? is the counter well placed?

Yeahh the bicep came undone from the hook on the shoulder, and the belt too wasn't properly aligned, the but plate is a pain in the a s s lol

Ok , a test , I'm almost done, happy with the results , I think it came out not so bad!

they are just a about right , I had to re arrange them a bit but they work fine now, maybe I will try to get the old petal foam one just to see how it compares

Helmet coming along

I wonder if there's an image of the bottom a screen used one ?

Hello troopers , I'm giving the finishing touches to my helmet and I was wondering about the s-trim, which one of these looks ok? the round or flat on the outside? and where is the the joint?do the edges meet in the front or in the back? I've seen helmet with the joint on both the front and back. Thanks!!

A bit more, getting close
