Thanks for all the good advice, everyone. I won't be able to work on it again for another couple of weeks but will keep you up to date when I get going again. I have signed up with Special Ops as well, Lisa, and got some good feedback there too.

Congrats on your EI. I knew you could make it.

I was working on fitting the thighs and shins today and ran into a bit of a snag. The shins keep riding up on the boots to the point where they come up over the top of the boot. Does anyone know of a solution for that to stop happening? Also what is the standard for how high on the knee they should be? I want to be sure before I begin cutting. On the thighs it looks like a lot (almost 3 to 4 inches) needs to be cut off the top, but before I do I wanted to make sure I am measuring correctly. Where should the top of the thigh go to and how far down on the knee should it go? Thanks.

Not sure if i'm posting this in the right spot since there's no real designated place for this type of trooper. But I finally got the "brown box of goodies" about 2 weeks ago. I've been working on it on and off since then, with the help of my son (Vader Rocks), so I thought i'd share my progress with you all. The biceps and forearms we finished last weekend. The person I got it from had already started trimming and assembling the forearms, but we had to disassemble and pretty much redo. The thighs and shins we have set up to cure for the evening.

This setup is AWESOME. I'm in for one. I have a ATA (ARAKYEL Poland) helmet also and would be interested in purchasing the setup including fans. Let me know when you start taking orders.
