Jeepfrog

I am your size and my AP armor fits perfectly

Skyone thanks for sharing you did a great job on this i plan to make one but with less features

Thanks for the info everyone

Do we have any troopers this size out there ?

Will be there in my TK

Frog was a nick name I got in the Navy the jeep is from up north I was big into rock crawling and building jeeps

I would like to buy a kit if you do end up selling them

There is plans to add that just not sure were I put my extra small screwdriver tips

I dropped my blaster after the Disney Star Wars parade first day figured I would post up my repair since I see a lot of you are building doopy doos full resin kits The front sight broke off I use BBC prints for forward sight I trimmed off the rest of the sight leaving the center block just replacing the side hoops Little paint and back in business and it is more accurate to a real sterling One small note I got hold a real sterling and the small vent hole at the front of the barrel my shield is backward like most I have seen

I agree and I seam to get a lot of complements on my AP armor

He didn't send you any trim strips? I used the widest trim strip I had Maybe he will send you some more for a small fee I really would only use the same ABS or it will be hard to match color This is what you get when you trim yourself as you can see not much you can use. I do stll have all of it if you think you can use it

I use the abs that came with the kit

I will post a pic of my kidney shims for when I get home

I put it only in a few places just were the armor would not touch my leg and I put some in the front of both shins to help clear knee plate and ammo boxes

I am happy with my Trooperbay belt

I did end up getting my snaps from Tandy the are much better and cheaper I have now gone back and replaced most of mine

line up the bottom edge the best you can and trim the top of the thighs to make even after that i still had to trim an inch off the top. the bottom edge has the detail you need to maintain

I have been using a ballon for the switch then I hold the cable to my finger with a rubber finger bandage I got from the drugstore they seal your finger from the glove and allow the ballon to keep out the moister Added photo

I opened my frown holes up more i sanded from the back like it looks like you did i sanded allmost flush.

I went with the 11 I also am a 10.5 and with the extra room I put a nice thick pair of insoles

Spry it took so long here is what I did

Like they say pictures do help but I think I know what you are talking about I did trim mine down but I wanted my forearms tighter around my arm wen I get home I will take a photo of mine for you

The last two events I trooped did have a lot of kids I was looking down alot maybe I will try duct tape first if it does not look to bad

It's the rubber on the lower edge of the helmet
