Congrats Steve!  

 

Without all your knowledge and help I am sure my armor would still be in its brown box!

Derek,

 

Yes, nylon attaches the bicep to the shoulder bell in this picture.  I had Steve do the same thing for mine. The nylon is glued using E6000 to the shoulder bell in the channel and the snap is put near the top of the bicep which will be hidden by the shoulder bell.

 

Just a nice way to keep everything in place.

 

And Steve, fantastic finish!  So does this mean your available to work on my bucket?  

[RS Props build in progress]

Looking Good Steve!

Lets all pool our millions together and build a real death star!

Welcome Efrain! This is the place to be.  These guys will help you out fully!  Maybe I will bump into you at Wizard World if you head out there on Saturday.

Can't wait to see the write up for the DIYS!  I want to take on this challenge for my bucket!

[Hello from the outskirts of Chicago, IL]

Thanks for the warm, welcomes!

 

Armoredguard - I did post a "Hello" there as well earlier in the week.

 

Matt - I will be attending WW on Saturday.

 

And to the Lady in White... Thank you for the welcome, have seen your posts all over FISD while doing research.

[Hello from the outskirts of Chicago, IL]

Thanks!

 

Like I said, wife gave the okay, but given our home is a "shoe box" (her words, not mine) I went for the out of the box ready to go, minus a few things such as shoes, under garment, neck guard... So I have been looking over the all the posts and getting everything else.  

 

I have to say I have a huge wish list on what I would like to do to the Helmet once it arrives.

[Hello from the outskirts of Chicago, IL]

What armor are you getting?

 

I went with RS helmet and armor.

[Hello from the outskirts of Chicago, IL]

Hello again Matt.  Trying to make the rounds while scribbling down ideas and needs for the armor.

[Hello from the outskirts of Chicago, IL]

Hello 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment...

 

My name is Eric and I live Schaumburg, a suburb of the city of Chicago.  

 

I have been given the green light from the better half to live out my childhood fantasy of becoming a TK.

 

So while I patiently await my helmet and armor, I thought it wise to introduce myself.

 

Looking forward to joining the 501st and getting out there and trooping!
