Got it thanks! It's in the UK so I better order it now!

Richtrooper. ...do have the link? I can't find that sweater.

Awesome father and son build!

Which armor maker is making new molds now? LOL!

Just some random pics I found on google . . .

Hello, my work is having an "Ugly Sweater" theme holiday party on Friday, December 19th, 2014. Of course, I gotta wear something Star Wars. Anyone have any great ideas? I don't want to buy the typical ones from Amazon or eBay. This would be ideal (in XXL) . . .

Whoops. Thanks Germain! I'll make the fixes tonight. I didn't catch that one~!

More update to date photos can be found here (step by step photos): HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Congrats Jeffrey! Nice to see a NE build in the Bay Area! I'm in San Jose and working on mine (for nearly a year now).

HI Andrew! Thank you so much! Diana's build is awesome. We had "one" armor party together. Hopefully in 2015, Diana (and JoJo) can get together again and finish my build. Updates: 1. New pictures are up! 2. Worked on the AB buttons (done) and thermal detonator (work in progress). 3. It feels good to back on the build because as i'm working on my armor at the dinner table, the wife is knitting in the living room.

I got mine today and its fantastic! I don't want to spoil anything so I will let everyone get the book first and then we can share our thoughts and comments. I do have questions (I will post later). But, yes... it worth getting if you're into the original trilogy costumes.

$38.00 on Amazon with free shipping (if you have Amazon Prime)!

Updates: 1. Paul is making the Hero ears now and will be sending them out. 2. Thighs are giving me such a fight. Going to continue next weekend (November 7-9). 3. Bi-ceps fell apart during test fit. Going to re-work them as well.

Yes, nice find!

Awesome kit and helmet! Can't wait to watch your build!

Thanks Steve! I'm proud of the shims. I probably spent a whole weekend trying to make it look good and inspire other builders. =) TM is going to be helping me with the Hero ears. I'm super thankful for his support.

Thank you Germain and Ron! I reached out ATA and TM.

Congrats Ron on your EIB!!!

The second help I need is the Three bumps for the ears. I never got a response from our friends in the UK. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

If someone can advise me on what to do, I would appreciate it. I’m ready to re-order parts from our trusted armor makers and wait. I tried to melt down extra plastic and add it back on. It did not look right. When I did the cut outs, I was copying this image from the 501st website:

Hello Everyone, sorry for the big long delay. I've spend the last two days watching all the NE builds and had a long talk with the wife on finishing my build (Halloween season is getting to me because everyone is making costumes). I have to admit there were several occasions about selling off the entire project and saying goodbye to this goal. Now that I got more support and backing from the wife and friends, I'm picking up where I left off. I put on my armor and came up with a new list of things to accomplish (and doing it weekend by weekend). I've learned not to have a due date and not to rush through this (for all the new people don’t make the same mistakes as I did). Instead, my family and I came up with a plan that will allow me to spend quality time with family, work, home projects & chores, and my build. So I need to ask my fellow members here for your help. My first help will be my current thighs and calves. Last February, I removed way too much plastic from the thighs and calves. I’m afraid they will not meet basic approval.

CONGRATS RON!!! I'm very proud that you completed your build! all the messages we shared for the past year and you're a TK now! CHEERS!!!
