Wasn't me!! Now give me back my damn Blaster!!!!

I went with snaps and a Velcro back up, in case of mid troop catastrophic failure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you so much guys. Steve (Slangen), yes I agree need to trim that cover strip down a little, also need to trim the rear strips slightly on the backs of both thighs as well I think. Steve (Gazmosis) Looking forward to getting my EIB and Centurion subs in, as soon as I have my 501st approval. I bit the bullet and cut out the kidney corners as well, as much as I said it wasn't going to happen. I had always started this build aiming for Centurion and hope I can get there in the end. Ben, don't be daunted when it comes to the first cut. If you are getting an untrimmed kit, there is plenty of practice in cutting down the excess first before making final adjustments. It is great fun and the journey an exciting one. There were quite a few build threads I referred to, but always looked movie shots and images in the Photo reference library here on FISD. Good luck with your build.

Thanks guys, it is a surreal feeling to fulfill a childhood dream.

Your Empire needs you...........or else!

A sneaky test fit before i do the shoulder bridges.

Han hooks glued.

More progress today, so know the shoulder bells are strapped and only need to be attached to the shoulder bridges when they are done. Also glued the button plates onto the ab, and made a garter belt for the thighs. All going well I should be complete by tomorrow afternoon......Yippy.

I too have used Velcro. I sewed the rough part to the tag on the front oh the boot and used industrial soft adhesive backed for the inside of the shin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You have two options, I think the $1.56 is for single and 5 x is dearer, I could be wrong. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

OK here we go, these are the fans you are looking for! Ian --------------------

I will check ebay and find the fans and add link. They aren't too bad for noise, and make a big difference to comfort and visibility. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Almost done with the strapping, oh and finally did that darn Sniper knee plate.

Yes will never forget Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I got my fans from evilbay, 5 fans and I think it was $6.00 Australian including post from China. 5 volt fans, 50mm, two wire, 15mm thick and they work very well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Have done it...i said I wouldn't, but I have. Cut out the corners of the kidney plate in ready for my future submission for Centurion.

How hard is it to hand paint these little buttons.... do they look alright for size? they are just under 11mm across.

Found it 22mm x 22mm, still recon it's more rectangular than square, and as much as I said I wouldn't do it to my AP......... I have. Done, cut and there ain't no turning back . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi all I have looked at lots of footage and some of the armour that already has this check out at the base of Kidney plate. It looks rectangular and not really square, so what are the measurements we are using please.

Strapping the armour at last. Will glue and do shoulder bridges and chest last. Still need to tidy up the side strapping.

How's your bedside manner, Lol[emoji23][emoji22] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
