Got a few more things done last night, after a big weekend at our first Comicon. Snaps and Velcro being used, and thank you to Echo for his centurion Level 8mm rivets.

I have only recently mastered Darth Aloha's Flamingo technique of getting the boots on after the thighs Lol, my wife thinks I'm halarious. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good idea, Velcor, so they can be removable for cleaning inside my bucket. Thanks man. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looks great Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What is the go for adhering foam inside the helmet? glue, double sided tape, what works best.

Go into the Ongoing sales and projects orders section and on page 2 look for Centurion Level Rivet Sets. There you can send Echo a PM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Getting closer to the strapping stage.

Thought I throw in some photos from our first Brisbane Comicon, set up and other photos. Assembling the Trash Compactor More of our props Some Comicon cos play visitors...mmmm 5th Element

Belt almost finished, just need to attach the drop boxes to the elastic straps behind. Is there a verdict on how these should be attached? Glued or rivet etc. One thigh complete, used cap rivets to hold the pack on, these are painted white.

Thank you, think I got the ab plate pieces correct, but will take photos and post after Comicon this weekend. They are not glued on yet so if need be can trim further. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, the helmet is iconic and I find myself looking at it every day and smiling. It's worth doing it first as it gives such a sense of accomplishment after soooo many years of waiting to become a Stromtrooper. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's pretty darn close Jeremy, and thanks Steve, luck i bought 6mm then. Sorry I haven't posted progress photos as was setting up for Comicon today but basically i am ready to start strapping all together....oh and yes...still haven't done that damn sniper knee plate...

Help please, can't find what width the white elastic is that holds down the shoulder bridges at the back, in mm ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I agree with You Steve on the accurate placement of rivets, that being said, in one of your images, you show a couple of alignment lines at bottom of Ab and kidney to show location of rivet, what about the accurate location of the cut out at the base of the kidney (new inclusion for Centurion) this will mean that anyone with Armour that doesn't have this moulded, will potentially have this cutout in the wrong place as well, like I will with my AP kit. Is this moving forward, going to be deemed as an incorrect mod or location? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks, no not glued yet just taped. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can i get away with 25mm cover strips on the back of my shins and thighs? I don't need them for size cause the 20mm will work, but the way the back of my shins are, 25mm would give me a better area for the Velcro to close them(shins only, thighs will be glued). Shins can be seen here with the 12mm ridge left on both sides, can trim it back 5mm on the side i will glue the cover strip to leaving me a lager area for the velcro, but it will be getting tight around the boot as i have a good fit in its current state.

inner and outer drop boxes trimmed.

Still haven't done the closures on the rear, just a test fit, shot is taken from a higher angle so looks like the cover strips are too short, but not when you look at them. Test fitting the thighs, one looks bigger than the other, have been stuffing around with these for a while, and even when the measurment internally at the top is the same, one still looks larger....WTF Any hints tips,

is there any specific measure for the amount of material you leave around the edge of the larger button plate for the abs?
