HOLY SH......!. Dude that's cool! You're one dedicated TK right there! The Emperor would be pleased!

Hahahahahaha, I get that now!

Ya, it's all in fun! I can't be happier with how it's going. Well, with the exception of a few small hiccups and the need for a beer or two All my parts are glued together now I'm getting ready to start placing snap plates and fitting them to my chassis. Why do you not want to get glue on the metal of the snaps? Depending on the answer this might be a serious face/palm incident !!! I've already placed a couple of plates and I just put that infernal glue on the whole strap, snap and all. BTW even with all the treads I've read to get to this point I say again if you haven't delt with E6000 be prepared it gets EVERYWHERE !!! And yes, that first cut anxiety sucks. My armor layed on the floor for a couple of days before I got up the nerve to start, but once I got going it was all good!

Ok time for me to start my TK build that is going for EIB. After Rob was able to get me my armor early the excitement built to fever pitch. Buying glue, looking for accessories, scaring the heck out of the dog with my bucket, ect. I hunkered down in the workshop that I stole from my sons playroom to start putting it together. First to make snap plates out of black strapping and industrial snaps....... A crap load of them! Cut, burn, punch out, hammer, cuss, repeat again and again. I've seen so many other build treads and have tried to count how many I need and I think I'm almost there. I'm going with Robs instructions on doing an overlap build and I should have some pics soon for your scrutiny on my progress. Although I'm still one holster short of a complete kit, so far I'm getting there.

Cool man! You guys are awesome! I continuously see why I want to be part of the 501st.. She looks fantastic and ready to serve the Empire proudly

I have to agree with all that I've read on Rob @ RT-Mod. He has been fantastic to deal with. In my line of work I am very precise so I ask LOTS of questions! Doing my armor I have been doing the same thing so I've probably asked too many questions but Rob has always responded quickly and with lots of info. In fact I've yet to meet a bad attitude in all of this journey to the Empire, but Rob is at the top! Can't wait to get my armor soon and start putting it together! Thanks Rob!
