Thanks for the idea's.... I really like the 'painted pipe' idea...

I'm looking to 'mod' my FX kit to have some batle damage. Nothing real major. Maybe some scorch marks, blaster hits and such. If anyone has any ideas or 'how-to's' they would like to share, let me know. Thanks !

Well, I finally finished it ! Only took about a month and a half. It still needs a little 'tweeking' , but I dont think it turned out too bad for my first try..

Thanks for the info everyone. Trimming was what I did, the whole time in a cold sweat...LOL. I took off about an inch and they seem to look and fit better....I'm getting better with that Dremel

Well, I got my armor and have started putting it together, not as scary as I though it would be. I'm following the advice on the forum and doing the armor, before helmet. One question in putting together the thighs. How tight/loose are the thighs supposed to be? When the thighs are together and I put it on, unless I secure it, it would drop down to my foot. How much room should I leave between the armor shell & my leg ? Should it stay up without and velcro or support ?
