Whoops, totally forgot about that! If it doesn't fit together perfectly, just allign the two halfes at the top and see how it looks at the bottom. Sent from the shield generator on Endor -

Nothing more to say. To switch subjects, I'm not 100% satisfied with my setup. I still need cotton gloves for the inside, otherwise I can bathe in sweat Then I would like to finally paint the soles the color they should be, white. Fans are also an essential part, that is still missing, but I am working on that. At last, I need to work out a solution for my sides. When I'm walking they still pop out, thanks to the fact that I'm a little to skinny for a Stormtrooper ( ). It's a shame, but I will have to break with the original strapping and add two extra pieces of Abs to make it stable. More information an pictures when it is finished and working I can keep myself busy and another project should be coming later this year Sent from the shield generator on Endor -

On June 11 it's going to be 6 weeks without any reply. I wrote 2 nice mails, one with more reference pictures, the second asking for updates. Maybe the organization of the huge Legoland Event took a lot of attention. I will wait until the end of this week. If there is still no reply, I'll contact the LMO. I'm a nice person to the bone, but I habe to draw a line somewhere. Sent from the shield generator on Endor -

I did it with hotglue, but someone once told me that hotglue is not a good to the abs. -

If you're afraid to trim to much, heat it up carefully an press it flat. I had to do that, too, on one thigh. Sent from the shield generator on Endor -

Looks right. Maybe you could try to allign the two halfs a bit more. Then glue them in the front and try fitting the back again Sent from the shield generator on Endor -

I'd suggest to leave some more room on the left side. Draw your line a bit more upwards. -

Hi, I'm still here It's been 21 days since I recieved the last message. It won't take long from now on...I suppose. Sent them some reference pics on the trim including Centurion troopers, maybe this helps. -
