Congratulations!

I was the same size back in my beret wearing days

In what way do you mean? If you're trying to put it straight on it won't fit, you need to put it on your head sideways and "screw" it down onto your head..... If that makes sense? Didn't really explain it very well!

Thanks, I appreciate the vote of confidence!

And there we go, cleared yesterday. Just waiting for my legion ID now!

Just realised I've been so caught up in my build that I've forgotten to post updates. So here's a few pictures of what I've been up to this month............ And thanks to the help from UKG armourers these are the pictures I submitted to the Garrison today for clearance....... What a month!

Busy few evenings over the last couple of days. Belt is complete. Lens material arrived from RS so got that fitted and sorted the padding out, think that's the helmet pretty much done. Last bits of glue should be dried on the arm pieces by tomorrow then I can get going on the legs. The thighs are rough trimmed, just trying to find the best alignment for the wonky right one, and the shins are rough trimmed too. Made up a ton of snap plates and started on strapping up the torso. No pictures though I'm afraid, having problems with photobucket at the minute.

Thanks for the feedback Tony. Centurion is my final goal so I'll have a look at those tube stripes

Thanks. I'd love to get up to RS one day and be able to take a look at their original bucket

After a two day battle with the helmet this is how it's turned out............... Hope the pain was worth it and it passes inspection

That did occur to me as I was finishing painting, think I was too eager to get some colour on there. I ended up covering up the painted areas with masking tape during the helmet assembly.

Had a day off yesterday but got cracking again today. Rough trimmed the arm pieces. I still need to look at the forearm/wrist problem and some crazy alignment issues on the biceps. Carried on working on the helmet too

Today I learned that the best way to practice holding your breath is to paint a stormtrooper helmet! While the paint is drying I started the forearms. I've rough trimmed them but I'm wondering if it's normal to have very little wrist movement or do I just have really short forearms? I've trimmed a few mm off the wrist end but not sure how far to take it back?

Had a bit of time to do a few bits TD tackled first Then had a bash at the bucket Don't think my wife is too impressed with the trail of white dust I'm leaving around the house though!

Looks like the school holidays aren't going to let me start building until tonight so for now here's a few pictures of what I've done while waiting for my armour: My boots, before and after http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah67/WhiteRoseSwampy/TK%20WIP/20150325_170555_zpsb5qe9amh.jpg My doopys build http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah67/WhiteRoseSwampy/TK%20WIP/IMG_20150722_155028_zpsxmngslni.jpg And my holster (thanks to Gazmosis) http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah67/WhiteRoseSwampy/TK%20WIP/20150319_160945_zpsum9f6ukb.jpg

So, my wait is finally over and two brown boxes from the lovely people at RS have just arrived. Funny how a couple of boxes of ABS can make you so happy! Time to lock myself in the garage and get building now then I suppose, pictures to follow...........
