TK 69169

Thanks, I'll take another look at it. I'm pretty sure that if I were to flip the piece on the left, the taper would not match up with the one on the right. If the fat part is at the top and the thin part is on the bottom we have it lined up correctly.

That's pretty bad news as we've already removed the return edge from the part we thought was the top.

I've looked at countless builds, but I haven't seen any biceps that taper down to a point like this. Is this normal? When i attach the the joining strip down, it may not even be that noticeable. I'd hate to remove it as it will also remove the return edge. Anyone have any advice?

@SolderMaster, he emailed me back stating he checked with a 501st officer and they said it would be okay. I'm starting to learn the 501st is a small world. I've checked with my advisor and he said it was a great job. Thanks everyone. Wish me luck.

There's an E-11 conversion on eBay that I would like to bid on, I'm looking for some opinions of the vets first. I don't know if its against the rules to post an active eBay link, so I won't. If anyone at there wouldn't mind helping, please PM me. Thanks.

I bought some black chemical gloves at Lowes, they're not as black as my under armor, is that an issue?

I'll be posting some pictures soon. Quick question, should all the return edges be trimmed? We started on the forearms last night and it was obvious those edges needed to come off, how about the rest of the kit?

Apprehensively starting my build this week. Has anyone ordered decals for an NE helmet from trooperbay? I talked to them and they weren't 100% sure which decals were the best. I thought about painting everything, but wasn't positive if his masking templates are the right size. I've been researching like crazy, reading any post I can find (pandatroopers build has been a huge help) and watching the videos on trooperbay. If anyone has any advice specifically for an NE stunt build, feel free to post. I got the kit from tupperwareTK. Thanks!!

I just ordered size 12 from them this morning.
