Nothing bad happened, no problem! I'm glad a few things get Pointed out. A few I knew myself (but didnt state above): Handplates are going to be replaced by latex ones, so this isn't permanent. All things for the complete belt (except for the Holster) are lying beside me, I just have to not be lazy and do it . The Cut outs in the knees are already done. After wearing the armour I realized something was wrong... As for the Others points, I'll have a Look at it over the week Thanks again! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

Hey folks! I've been reading and learning a lot on this forums for the last 9 months. But I never got the time to do a WIP about my AM-built. Meeting DDay on Luxcon and finally be able to talk to someone in person about the issues that troubled me (Derrek, thanks again!!) I decided to work on my armour a bit harder than before During the last two weeks the AM got finally "wearable", altough not everything is finished yet (e.g. the belt, the knee ammo-pack, th elastics on the shoulder bells, ...). But nevertheless, today I decided to put on everything I got so far and take some pictures. It would be great if some fellow TK's could have a look on it and give a direction what could be done better. What I think after having a look at the pictures: - the Shoulder-Bells need to move a little closer up the shoulder - The right shoulder strap needs to be re-glued on. - The elastics between Kidney and Upper-Back need to be longer. You see them popping out after the snaps unfastened. - The Cod-Piece and the butt have to be connected in order to bring both closer to the body - Are the AB-Buttons to small?? - The obvious problem with shoes and shins has to be solved That was my impression. I'm far away from beeing a pro, this my first built ever! Any help would be greatly appreciated Ben Oh, the helmet...I know the eyes have to be bigger, gonna cut them out properly next weekend

This is a great Topic, and although I've been a member of this forum for a few months now, I only stumbled upon it today. Myself, I'm a big guy for a TK (1.89m) and in addition to that, my weight is way to much (currently 115kg, about 253 lbs). That's not that much, but as most of it conentrates around my belly, it makes fitting my new set of AM armour really hard I've been thinking about loosing weight for quite some time now, and the wish to join the 501st finally is the motivator I was looking for. I'm a lazy guy regarding sports, so I started with looking at what I eat (no junk food anymore.....no coke.....less beer..at least sometimes ). A friend of mine is boxing and I'm thinking of joining him as I see on him how good that is for the body. So right now it's just fitting arms and legs and building the helmet. I hope I have lost enough that I can fit the rest and can be ready and a member until EP7 Cheers, Ben

Hello there fellow troopers! My first set of armor arrived a few days ago (AM) and I carefully started assembling it. Thanks to this forum, I've found nearly all information I need. But one thing, I couldn't find: Which return-edges can be trimmed down and which have to stay? I don't wanna trimm too much. Any help would be great!! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk
