Is the MP40 the same as the one for Sandtroopers? Would the ones from Trooperbay work?

Cool, can you send enough that I could do this on the sides of the chest to back as well? I'd like to not cut anything there if possible.

I need to source some ABS for this, any suggestions as to thickness?

Why don't you recommend them? If just because of price that's ok as I have a window of opportunity to work on this in the next few days and I'd be willing to pay to have them now. If it's because they actually aren't very good magnets then I'll wait and order from the other suggested places. Thanks!

Where did you get the rectangle magnets?

I'd take a set. TAKE MY $$!!

Is that your armor?

Seems like a great idea. <br><br> I'd already thought about wearing my vest with my shield, but it didn't seem right. Clairification on accessory combinations would be great.

I'd be, depending on cost.

Thank you so much for this thread. It was my main source of instruction for my build, I don't know how I'd have done it without this.

I finished my shield but since my baton just arrived today I don't think I'm going to get to it before the movie.

Thanks all!

Only 6'. Which is why I'm stumped.

I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of with the legs. I've literally spent 3-4 hours working on them. That's why I assume I'm just an idiot because I can't figure out why they won't work well for me. I have no more clearance in the gaskets so the shins can't be any farther away from the thighs than they are now, and the thighs can't move any further down on they will be over my knees. If I had 3-4 more inches on the gaskets everything would be great.

Did you talk specifically somewhere about how you've attached your knee gaskets? I'm having the hardest time with my legs. Everything above the torso feels perfect but I just can't get my legs to work right. I know it's probably a pretty simple thing, maybe I just have abnormally long shins, but could you show how you've got everything attached down there? I think we are about the same size. Are you currently using Anovos gaskets?

Approved! Thanks to all for helping this newbie muddle through his first build. Now just can't wait for some longer knee gaskets!

Does it means something? Which way does it go?

What's the Aurebesh for?

Thanks. I don't currently have that support system in place so I'll have to work something else out.

Thanks Pete! How are you keeping your biceps in place?

I'm going to duplicate your strapping system, it looks great. For your snaps, are you putting them through nylon then using e6000 to glue them to the plastic?

W. T. H.

But I don't have to sand down to apply the spot putty?

In painting (which has gone very well for the most part) I discovered some tiny holes on the chest upgrade piece. Obviously my filling skills need work. Is there any way to repair this at this stage or is this going to require a full sand down and fill at that level?

I did a very rough suit up tonight to start to work on the strapping system. I have a couple of questions about the fit. 1. How does it look under the arm? Anything need to be trimmed or repositioned? 2. The chest piece and the yoke should be flush, correct? I'm thinking snaps would be good here. 3. Where should the butt plate be positioned? In my suit up the bottom of the piece was maybe about at the mid point on my rear. Should it be all the way down? I wonder if I had my ab up too high. Thanks!
