Thank you Steve and the FISD community for all your support and time for this long await build.
I'm so happy for this moment. I was stressing over the shims and appreciate the time and research to review my work.
I hope my project will inspire larger troopers and makes things easier for everyone.
Yes, I was thinking of you Steve when I was painting my blaster! I'm glad you liked it!!!
As for the belt, I will get that taken care of with some velcro. My wife and I took a lot of action shots that evening and the belt must moved during the process.
The whole project took one year and four months (from the time the brown box arrived to Centurion approval).
This journey really challenged my marriage, building skills, and time management. In the end, I feel blessed that everything worked out better than it was before.
My wife and I have a much stronger bond and understanding. I picked up new prop making skills to help family and friends with their costumes. And I finally learned how to really use our kitchen whiteboard to manage all our family time efficiently.
Cheers again and again!
And May the Force Be With Us All !!!
Special Thanks to my wife MaAnn, cousins Diana & Jojo, Germain, Kyle, my fellow GGG troopers, and again the FISD community!!!
