This was my first Halloween out in the TK!

Congrats!!! 500 & 200!!!

YEWW!

You know those cheap clothing hangers that has been laminated in some sort of rubber or plastic? And on the hook ends they usually have a rubber nipple so people don't cut themselves on the wire.......yeah I use those for my screw ends. Should just pop on snugly or use a drop of E-6000 or hot glue.

Congrats!

I love worn armour! So close mate! You can do it!

My first troop...the only advice I got was - "Just pick someone you know...then follow them closely and pretend you know what you are doing. The rest will come and In no time you will be a pro. When you put that bucket on in public for the first time...you will understand" Spot on.

So clean! Congrats!

Your blaster looks amazing!!!

Thats what she said! Sorry...

WOOO! Thanks everyone! Im so happy!

Great newsletter mate! That wookie looks so amazing!

Thanks Steve. Here are some updated photos.... FRONT - Put some padding in the forearms so they don't twist as much. But mainly removed the hooks under the arm on the biceps, which dropped them a little lower. Inside is still connected to the shoulder bell with elastic/snaps. BACK LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE RIGHT SIDE CLOSE UP - I wasn't happy with my side closures in the original pics and I know how much you emphasise the 'no gaps' rule...so I made sure they can be closed. LEFT SIDE CLOSEUP

Not sure. All I know that is if I don't cut the cod - I can't get onto a Bantha.

Firstly I must apologise for the graff wall. Its been really hard getting someone or remembering to do these pics when its convenient. So today at a photo shoot I thought Id get them done. Only thing was that the place we were at had NO un-tagged walls. Hopefully the detail shows through. Also I forgot to take an action shot - so I have included one from the last photo shoot. I've also noticed there has been some really nice and clean centurion builds out there (not to mention professional pics). My armour has been put to work every couple of weeks since I got approved last November so you can see the 'love' that has been put into it. Good luck to me!

Glad you like it! Make sure you share your pics down the road The thanks really goes to the good (and sometimes grumpy - myself included) folk of this forum, for their inspiration and help with the build. 18 months later and Im still finding ways of tweaking it.

TKs are bad guys in the movies. So why are we doing 'good'? All abit of fun innit. You can't tell me it looks THAT bad.....

I winged it when it came to the strapping bit cos there were no two same ways of strapping that I've seen when using snaps. Everyone has their own way and you will end up fine-tuning after you get the suit up and running. Here is my mess of a strapping system. I've actually got more snaps now because I have cut the cod since then. I have full mobility and never had a any piece of armour fall off since I built it. Hope you get something out of it.

Don't listen to all these bullies. As long as its NOT a canon event...then you are allowed to do whatever you want.

Just don't put a Lego head on.

Im 5'10" and about 75kg (about 165lbs) - and I have AP. Fits me perfectly and didn't have to shim anything. Good Luck! Edit - Im a 32 - 33 waist depending on time of year

I always think of it as a tailored suit. No matter what size or shape or form you are, if your tailor is good....you're gonna look sharp! Like the Kingpin from Spiderman. He's always in a suit. He looks good. He looks mean.

Asians (namely Chinese) and the number '8'. It reads :- Prosper, Prosper, Everyday, Everyday, Prosper

YES ANDY!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Super excited for you. Just some back story with Andy....when he got his officer approved a few months ago he was out trooping every weekend and even came down to Melbourne for a massive troop. Stayed with me for the night and checked out my TK and he's been hitting me up with questions ever since! I have no doubt this build will turn out great!
