To slow XD just got approved. O well hopefully it will be a next time. . Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

So hopefully this will work. I tried to put the armor on. I'm quite happy with the result. Some things needs to be adjusted just a bit. But it's really close now to be done for now at least :-P How those it look? Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

Congratulations ! Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

Thanks. Yea I was planing to remove the excess glue when I'm done with the elastic on the back. And also from the thighs. It still looks like I can send in approval pictures with in 6 days if my gloves and white color comes. So excited :-D Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

So I've been pretty busy. But a lot has been done. While I´m waiting for the white color to arrive. I will geat the elastics on. I figured it was time to update here as well with some pictures. Most of the things are still work in progress. But my goal is to finish everything before the next weekend. And it dosen´t feel hard to get done in time. I´m hopping to geat approved and get my ID number so I can order the FISD Racing shirt I did my best with the belt. Just hopping the rings from the upper holes won´t be any problem for basic approval. I took some material from the belt and glued it on the backside. At least the black wont be seen thru the hole now. The hooks on the arms is not glued to place yet. I just wanted to see how it will look like when its done. And yea I still keep the protection film on XD Calves almost done too. Just glue the elastics on the back and that´s it The shoulder bells is just missing the bigger elastic and then they are done to. And I just hade to but the armor up so I could see ruffly how it will look when that´s get done later in the upcoming week. And that´s it for now. More updates will fallow within this coming week I promise

So I just done a test fit for the calves. And i´m happy with the space between the shoes and calves so time to glue the back. I´m not sure how much more then this will be done today. Probably I will try to size the thighs so they will fit better. If I will get the time.

Haha. Yea it looks like it is. I don't know if I'm anywhere near to win. But I won't give up without a fight [emoji12] Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

I want to start with thanking all for the help. Without you I would not be were I am today. And now to a short update. I haven´t done at much as i wanted to. I´m just been busy. But some work has been done. I have removed all the exes glue from the arms and biceps. So they are ready for mounting. Secondly I glued the calves on the front. Haven´t removed the exes glue yet. I will do that when the back is done. That´s about it for now. I´m waiting for my brackets for the chest and so on. Meanwhile I will glue the back of the calves and then the thighs. But even if there is still a lot of work left it feels like the goal comes closer. And it´s coming faster than I thought. Hoping to work more on the kit this coming week. More than I succeeded in the last few weeks. So back to work

I just want to make sure the shins looks right? Or is the pieces wrong. I haven´t trim them to fit me yet. Don´t want to but the wrong pieces together.

Okay thanks. I will cut more from the right side. And try to make the edges as even as possible. Had the same problem on the arm pieces. Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

So now when i started on the thighs I have a size problem once again. They are way to big for me. So here is another question. If i split the measurement between the to pieces I took to make it fit me. Will that be okay? What´s the experts opinion on this?

Perfect. I start tomorrow. Thanks Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

So i´m working on my forearms and this is the way they will look when I narrow the gap to a good size. Can i trim the edge down so it will look better without risking approval?

Yea sorry don´t know what happen with the pictures but i try again. As you can see I have a lot of air between my arm and the piece. The wrist area same thing. I'm not sure you can see my marks. If i overlap all the way to the marks the piece fits the way i want it to. Or is it to much?

So now when I´m trying on the arm piece. I have a lot of air between my arm and the armor. I took the left arm piece and overlapped the edges until it fitted the way a wanted to. The result I get is i can cut of 2 cm on the back and 1 cm in the wrist area. And that´s with the return edges still there. Is it possible to cut that of or is it to much? Take 1 cm of from each side of the back and 0,5 cm in the wrist area. It looks round enough if i look at the arm piece when holding it together with the overlap. As it is now I can easily get two fingers in between the armor and my wrist. What to to?..

And the trimming continued today. And this is the results. And this is the pars I trimmed so far. So tomorrow i will take a look to remove the return ages on the parts it has to be removed from. Then sanding. Now the nervous part for me starts. Try to bring it all together. I´m a really skinny guy so I probably have some fitting questions in a near future. Hopefully its not to much modifying needed. / Lordhero

The fallowing days I started to trim. That´s it for now. I hope to work on it some more this weekend. Thank you for looking on my small progress /Lordhero

Hey everyone. Yes it´s another Anovos build. My kit came last week. Of course I had to lay all parts out on the floor just so I could take a picture. That's what i did the first night. It´s always good to look at the kit before you start. Because I have looked at so many building threads before my kit arrived. The only feeling was that it will be fun to finally get started. I hope to make this good enough to finally join the 501st. And it feels like i´m on to a good start now when i have everything to at least start building. This is the start to a great adventure and I really looking forward to every step and challenge this will give me. With your help i´m not worried about this. For the empire! /Lordhero

25% VAT plus 6% to customs. So in total 31% of the armor+shipping cost. Then the post service wants a service fee but that wasn't so expensive. That's how it works in Sweden anyway. It's not cheap. Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk

When I talked to customs they said the package will be sent to me directly. Then I have to pay the VAT. A bill will be sent later. Skickat från min HTC One_M8 via Tapatalk
