That's pretty awesome. Unfortunately, finances are restricting my progress, so the blaster and helmet may be as far as I can go for now. And I'd be the PERFECT candidate for Princess Leia saying "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" Lol...
You can still sign up and join an event as a wrangler. No need to have a costume. But you'll probably want one after you see all the fun we have.
No pressure Future Trooper

Small world... well, at least here in RI it is! lol... I definitely want my blaster to be as real as possible. I was also going to 3D print a helmet, but not sure about the full armor. We'll see.

Welcome Ken!
I'm from the biggest little state in the Union myself.
Good Luck with your blaster build.
Sadly I'm no help for that. But there's plenty here who can help.

Finished glueing the sniper knee. Also double checking that it’s okay to cut out the back of the shins like so for mobility?
Those cuts will be fine as marked.

I made some more straps with snaps today that are smaller to use for the kidney and butt plates. I had a quick question, how would I know the strap is too big or too small when fitting and how close should they be to each other? Just enough to show no gap?
That's part of the build figuring out what works. A bit of trial and a bunch of errors to the end.
I'm having a build day this weekend. I posted on our local forums. If interested even though you're doing great so far.
Keep it up Future Trooper

Getting there. You need to round the end of the cod or I'll hear you scream every time you walk at a troop.
Keep up the good work

I know it's a test fit but I think you have the left shin on the right leg .
Keep up the good work Future Trooper

Always good to see another Heavy join the ranks.
Looking sharp! See you in the EIB section hopefully soon
Have fun out there Trooper!

I'll also recommend the double snap insurance. I've found on the rare occasion after dekitting that one snap had let go but I never noticed and the fun went on as usual.
Having a failure is not fun. I've felt bad after laughing
I'd leave the screw look minus the brackets so it looks OG from the outside. Get some elastic and nylon webbing and a big bag of Tandy snaps.
Good Luck Trooper

I use Velcro on the front inside. I glued the soft pc. to the boot and the other strip on my inside cover strip. I just set it in the right spot when I put on the shins. Never moves and allows ankle pivot for walking/stairs.
Hope this helps Trooper

I agree with waiting for final trimming till you do a test suit up.

You have them paired right but labeled the wrong legs. The steep angle is for sniper plate. Which is why left shin is shorter than right. So L is the right and R is the left.
Good Luck Future Trooper

The first Bicep is away! I doubled up the magnets just to be safe but it took me 24 to get the two outer cover strips secured while the glue dries. For pieces like the biceps and forearms is it recommended to double up on magnets or is one on each side good enough?
I double up and make sure you cover magnets with painters tape. They can fly across and hit and shatter when you least expect it.
Looking good

We're trooping today at one of the theaters.
Has anyone received their TRamp recently?

I ordered one of his E-11 blasters. The expensive one almost a year ago. Minus a few weeks. I've been patient also but come on. He responds slowly and with the BS story of supplies and it's coming. I'm glad I saw this post and sadly am not alone. He makes it so you can't post on his FB sales page to warn people don't order from him. There's no excuse for his behavior. He knows he's lying. I know he's lying. I would recommend a warning here on any thing related to him in the sales area. Till he gets straight members here should be warned.
I'm out almost $1000 USD
Be warned
