Great build!

The Los Angeles area in California experienced an earthquake this morning. Thank goodness no one was hurt. But it got me thinking...... I have some displayed collectibles and someday my armor will be displayed on a mannequin. Has anyone ever "earthquake proofed" their displays? I'm hoping fellow West Coast troopers will chime in (we live in earthquake country).

I didn't get in. Boo!

Thank you Ingrid and Francisco for sharing your experiences. I was wondering how to prepare for a Comic Con troop and how meet up with the Southern California Garrison (if I wanted to troop the event in my armor).

Looking good Diana!!!

Anyone planning on going? This Saturday (3/15), open registration begins.

Great update Diana!!! Yes, let the helmet hang out for a week before you start up again.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the helmet comes out great!!! I'm so happy that your "engineer" is totally involved. Please let me know when he "turns to the darkside" and gets his armor!!!

Looks like a bug helmet

just something i found today.

Thanks Anthony! My cold has put me down for weeks. Once I'm back up and running, I can't wait to start back up again.

I like the bucket padding! Great build!

Great job Ben! I've been following your build!

Hi Joey, when I first started I practiced on the ABS scraps. Once I got the hang of it, I started on my armor. I say practice first. Here's a quick cool video (you don't have to buy their heat gun) on bending one strip of plastic.

This is beautiful! I'm printing it out and adding to my build binder. Thanks for sharing this Mathias!

HI Germain! Nice to see you again. Yes, I'm happy with the shims. Very nervous putting it together...but I got through it (version 1.0 with the homemade ABS paste). Hopefully as I lose the gut and then cut them off. Yes, my Scootch helmet has 8 teeth. Nothing I can do about that now. At the time when I build the helmet, I did not know the difference between "stunt" and "hero". When I get another kit, I'll aim for matching the right Hero style. For now, I'm aiming for the first step which is basic approval.

Thank you Glen!!!

I like your drop boxes Caleb! I might steal that idea!

Thank you Eric for making me feel welcomed as a newbie here! You're one of the friendliest troopers I met here on FISD. I salute you! Keep in touch man!
