Thanks Derrek, I will be in contact with you soon for a couple of blaster kits, resin parts only as will use PVC pipe and make my own scope brackets.

Hi Brandon Any chance you could supply the link for the batteries you got from ebay. have found the EN-EL11 as stated in the beginning pages of your thread, but they seem to be only 3.7 volt and 600mHa. Cheers

Looking good. Is there a little race between you and Stubacca, on who can finish their armour first. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wow, that's a real nice, clean build, nothing more to add than already has been. Good luck with your application, but looks like an easy pass to me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The drop boxes had backs in RotJ as well . Will enjoy watching your build. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great work on your armor. A little hard to tell from the image, but it looks like the slit rivet in the crotch is painted white. If it is please remove the white paint as they weren't painted originally . Good luck with your application. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Bradley, welcome aboard. Armors to consider, well most can me modified?trimmed to suit, but yes some are definitely for the larger trooper. AP (Authentic Props) is one of the smaller in size, so worth checking out. You can certainly shorten the shin and thigh pieces down, and the armour suits a 32-34" waist . No reason why you cant do the same thing to an RS kit either. The more you research the more this will all make sense. Good luck on your journey

Great job on this kidney shims. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For cosmetics, and of coarse accuracy, try to keep your front cover strips on the thighs to the 20mm. As to the backs, you can certainly go larger, but try and keep the back of the shins to a similar size to your rear thigh cover strips. For example, 40 mm thigh back cover strip and 40 mm rear shin cover strips. In most cases the wearer will have larger calves as well . Recently I help a new cadet make a very large internal shim for the back of his thighs 100mm we then cut a filler piece, and made ABS paste to fill the small gaps. We then simply made a 40 mm cover strip and glued it on centrally. His calves were also huge, so had to make the 40mm cover strips for the back just to get them to close. In the end it all looked great, and he is currently waiting basic approval. He then intends to apply for EIB. I will get hold of some images of the thigh work and post them up in the next couple of days to better explain what we had to do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Try a black fabric marker as it is more permanent than the humble Niko pen. Also, you will only need to colour the visible bits of white stitching really. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Another excellent read, thank you to all involved. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I found that due to the sometimes awkward shape and the amount of pressure required, it is definitely easier to do it like you have, but use Zappa Gap, and you are done in 1 hour. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great progress, I am enjoying your build. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
