Did you already glue the square buttons on the belt?

Good luck and have fun!!! I think it should be required for everyone to take a picture of themselves and their newly arrived box.

1) Yes....reasonably. I have trouble with my thighs (when I sit down to put my boots and shins on) trying to take my hip bones out. 2) I think I could lift it up some.

Don't worry....I'll do things the RIGHT way...

Touche.

Could I do that? That would seem a little dishonest don't you think.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliments. Paul makes a great suit that is flexible (no pun intended) for many body types. I agree. The guys in armor on screen didn't have to go great distances, so they could get away with a little discomfort, but not us. Like I said, the parade I was in was 2 miles. That's a long way to go with a lot of rubbing going on. I did cut some of the bottom of the shins and that helped with the upper shin/lower thigh rub problem, but I was having the cod rub with upper thigh jabbing going on. I unfortunately had to do the last resort and trim some of the upper and inner thighs. That helped a lot otherwise that 2 mile hike would have been murder. I can't kneel or bend over to pick anything up, but I'm sure that's pretty normal.

When I say I have a Hasbro I mean it is literally a Hasbro blaster that I spray painted black a long time ago. It has not been modified in any way. I have everything for Centurion minus the blaster.

I applied as an ANH Stunt TK. I did not build a Hero just a Stunt.

Thanks! That's what I thought. Looks like my Doopydoo disappointment will prevent me from ranking up in the near future....but it WILL happen.

That's coming. Centurion doesn't require a weapon, right?

Awesome pics, and I have to say your wife has the ESB Leia look down pat. Very nice!

This is looking REALLY good! Great job so far! Doopydoos may not have to worry about shipping any more E-11's once you get this thing going. I had to borrow a fellow trooper's Hyperfirm E-11 for a parade I was in. First time I ever got a good close up of that. It was pretty cool. Can't wait to get my hands on this blaster.

I got my TK # today from the 501st headquarters. TK-12757 reporting for duty.

Official 501st. I received my confirmation into the ranks today. I will join my fellow Rancor Raider (Mississippi) troopers tomorrow with my first assignment....Madison, MS Christmas Parade. Wish me luck. Any suggestions or pointers?

Man, this is going to be sweet!

LOL!!!! Ransom it for about 100 blasters and share with your brethren.

I just wonder if I should try again through eBay. My first order was through their website. I would be a glutton for punishment if I did.

I never got ANY tracking information and was completely in the dark regarding my shipment. It was basically come home, check the front door, and hope for tomorrow...repeat.

You should hear from them any minute now. That's how they seem to work. Threaten to file with Paypal then all of a sudden they respond.

I'm 5' 8".

Thanks, Paul. I just know when I lift my legs just a little (ie- if I were going upstairs or when I sit to put my calves on) the thighs jam all up in my groin and hips, and when I walk the inner thighs and cod are fighting each other. There's no way I could sneak up on somebody with all the noise it makes.

Thanks for the input and advice!

I'll look into correcting it in the near future. Thanks!
