Well done on the snaps. That should take care of the failing problem you had with velco

Mike, another tip I learned here on the FISD, to save from gouging your armor when putting on and taking off your TD, put a piece of Velcro, the soft side, on the portion of the metal clips that go between your armor and the belt. It will save you a lot of damage over time. Again, looks great.

I had my snaps the same way on the butt plate. Like you said though, things do change. After some test fits and some uncomfortable poking, I cut a portion more off that tab and put a snap there and another one on the curved section of the butt plate. FWIW. Great build so far and awesome job with documenting it. i'm guessing it was a lot easier that the first order TK. Your making want to build another TK....so addicting.

I riveted my elastic to the back of the drop box. A lot of people will glue them as well. You can also glue the elastic strip to your belt to keep the boxes from moving. Hope this helps. I did notice that your cod is low on your body as there is a big gap. If you move the cod/ab up, that may take care of the back plate being too high. Just an opinion. Your doing great with this build and will be on Endor soon enough

You won't be disappointed with this armor. There is a lot of stuff so don't throw anything away. Looking forward to watching this build

Great job !

Well done ! You'll be invading cloud city shortly

Build looks great. Just some advise, when fitting your armor, put your under suit on as it will change how the armor fits

Your shins look a little high on your leg. Some advice, when your fitting your armor make sure you have your undersuit on. It will change how it fits. Also put your boots on when fitting the shins. If you don't when you put the boots on and shins they will push up and hit against the thigh armor. You will end up having to redo the shins. . My thighs are 26 in from years of sports. With my ESB I had to do butt joint them. You should be able to overlap yours. If not, there are tutorials on here on how to shim Check those out to get you past the thighs. My thighs were the toughest part of my build FWIW. Your build is coming along nicely

what you want to do is taper the thigh armor so that you don't have too much of a gap at the knee. (something like a church bell is not what you want it to look like) I have large thighs as well and this, next to the ears was the most difficult part for my build.

Good job on the TD build. FWIW, I put a soft side piece of Velcro on the metal clip that goes between the belt and your armor. This will keep the metal clip from gouging your armor when you put on/ / take off the TD

Got my Am 2.0 in Feb. I'm 6'2 265 and I still did some trimming Great set of armor and I'd buy another set without hesitation

Chris, Great job on your build. Everyone who has built a bucket has felt the pain of building the ears but you nailed it considering you aren't using screws on only glue. Bravo to you. My only question is your brow trim suppose to be that low ?

You will not be disappointed with echo's fan system. Great job so far

TK 18652 requesting access http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=18797&costumeID=126

That's awesome

Well done.

I see now what you mean

Yep my arms are that big, the belt is a TKittle belt. Not sure why about the pics

Introducing TK-18652

I shortened the straps from the shoulder bells to the elastic under the shoulder to both bring them closer and to rotate them more forward I clipped the excess off the TD clips and put the soft side of velco on the back side of the clips so I don't gouge my armor.

Have to paint blue ab buttons and attach them, trim TD clips and stop the chest to ab. Let me know how it looks so far
