Kessel Run

I will put it all together and get some pictures up before i do any cutting, just trying to plan ahead.

just at 6 foot, i havent trimmed the ab plat out completly, was just kinda holding everything up.

I am starting to think that my AB plate may be a little to short for me havent put it all on yet to make sure but the test fits, are looking close. anyone have ideas for this? would it be better to cut the cod and shim under the belt? or shim higher so the chest piece wont show a gap?

well done!

good lookin kit. all shinney and new!

Just a few hours away from the build, and not beating myself up over the little things that i dont think are gonna pass muster. I realize that the screen worn armor was beat up, and basicly looked like crap if you were standing next to it. But I have a tendency to find every little flaw and turn it into a huge thing when im building something. So take a break and sometimes it dosent look as bad as I thought at first glance.

I'm cleaning up the lines, but does the vocorder look alright? or should I put all 3 center black lines on the same level?

Thanks for the support guys, Im back at it today with a less dim outlook.

now i wanna see page 24 lol

Today was one of those days. I go to Michaels to buy a paint brush, and the lady in front of me at the only check out line buys $40 worth of frames, and pays with nickles and quarters. one of my kids knocked my helmet off the table and it lands on one of the ears resulting on a large crack, one of my $40 salt water fish went belly up. and I am getting the feeling I have no idea what im doing with my armor lol. all and all I think i will leave it all alone till tomorrow, when maybe I will have a fresh outlook. anyone else ever hit a low point in their build, or is it just me?

you guys look great!

Is there a certain size snap and rivet size i should be looking for? IE, 7, 8, 14, 7/16th ect?

I will start looking around for new clips, Thanks!

I painted on the lid detail, any comments before final clean up? im not sure about the vocorder, do the three in the middle go to the same level? also I used the money clips from amazon for the TD clips but they can be changed. Suggestions? Thanks. Sam

The DO? would it be better to move the end caps in? Or move the clips out?

Ok so, I’ve been a little intimidated by the sizing of the leg pieces, and decided to work on the helmet for a little bit. Probably not the best Idea I ever had, but I did it none the less. That being said, I managed to screw up both sets of ears, not terribly, but I know it’s there. I learned that a drill goes thru plastic faster than I had originally thought, as evidenced by the shallow hole I drilled into my finger. I also did some work to my TD. I have started to picking up some of the other accessories I will need later like an E-11, neck seal, under armor, holster and a pair of TK boots, thus prompting some creative explanations of monies spent to avoid what is commonly referred to in the MMO world as Wife agro. (To be honest she has been extremely supportive.) Next I will do a touch more sanding, and start on the paint details. Now back to looking at those pesky leg pieces.

But...... I dont have your address. Well if anyone asks I will just send em to you.

For all you Imperial patriots.

what breed is this?

Congratulations on your EIB approval

Grats! and your armor looks great!

Sounds like a cool idea.

I will work faster. Maybe I can get done before to long.

Sooo pretty!
