What are you trying to do with the references, e.g. establish dimensions...?

Thanks Michael - hope I get in on a future run.

Sorry, where is the link in the RPF? My kids want me to do this costume, but will spot an imperfect Wookie a mile away. Cost no object, which is the best Wookie?

By shim - do you mean the side gaps or any other part? At 6'0" I was 190lbs at my heaviest and had to trim the ab/kidney on my TE2. At 175lbs I had to trim every more. Only owning TE2 and not AP though, I'm guessing that depending on where you carry your weight, 200lbs is probably the max you can go w/o shimming the sides. I will say that I had to shim the shins and left bicep though, regardless of my weight. On my TD, I swapped out TE2 shins with RT shins and that worked out w/o the need for a shim. Lou - btw you look mahvelous

Congrats Chris - you're also one of the few double EIB

What people use, what works: -----

Happy St. Georges Day! It's been 3 years since I was last in England and I miss is much.

It will be interesting to see how they fare at this high a price point. When MRCE was first out they were doing for as low as $90.

ESB for comparison: -----------

My response on the 501st boards. Note that it will take a little work to make it 501st approvable.

Wow, that looks really good to me. Great start!

More than fantastic. That is outstanding in every sense of the word.

FYI - lmk what you find. Most Chewbacca's I've seen aren't that accurate.

Way to go Allan! Just saw ESB & ROTJ the past few days, great to see he's still willing to entertain fans

Wee! Congrats Martin

Excellent! Chewie is my kids' favorite. I hope someday to do Chewie and my wife do Leia

Nice! Currently we have 55 to go - I bet we can do it this year

FEB 2010 I'm pleased to announce that FISD's latest Service Award goes to Damian (Dmian) TK-7388. Not only has Damian greatly helped in clearing the backlog of EIB photos, he was the main driving force for getting the Spanish language forum started, and thus the whole concept of the Imperial Embassies. He's created four of the five topics to date in Ayuda en español and translated key content such as the Expert Infantryman overview and standards and an AP tutorial. In a matter of days there are 30 posts in this section, and it's creation has lead to a similar area in German and soon to be Italian as well. This leadership will have a key affect on making FISD more readily assessable to troopers who are not fluent English speakers, allowing them to share in the knowledge created here. On behalf of FISD, thank you for your service Damian!

The JRS has a chat profile and a regular chat session, so it's certainly feasible. Let me check the forum software and do some research if I may.

Very nice - can I ask who the maker is?

I started to type a few things but then realized none of them were safe for work or allowable in polite company. Suffice to say that I am considerably impressed and look forward to someday being able to see them in person.

I found using a small drill bit to drill through the rivet works out the cleanest.

Mason - just having the screen references from which one can build one and I'm in your debt. Actually building one - you know you should then do the full boat ICN trooper

This is brilliant!!! If you can do the same for some of the other angles I think there will be enough that someone (Woodchuck! ;-) ) could make one. Thoughts?
