Thank you very much. I appreciate even being considered for EIB. Whenever possible could you (or anybody reading this) please provide the reference for the exact number of tube stripes. I must have either mis-read or missed it all together because the 501st.com CRL I used for reference said it could be between 9-16 stripes. Once I know for sure I will gladly make the changes as soon as possible. Thanks again!

Roger that and thank you all for the replies. I will get the blaster taken care of ASAP.

Thank you! Regarding the blaster, Is there a particular reference/tutorial you would recommend to help me with this? (How many holes, what size drill bit, etc)

Thank you very much! I appreciate it

Your kit is looking great! Very motivating!

I just noticed on the side thing here that I am now a corporal! sweet!!

Thank You Grimez, I appreciate it! That novus stuff works like a charm! Easy to use too.

After a bit of clean up here is how they turned out!

After all that was done, I just cut some finishing strips for the outside and attached them using the same tape, magnet, clamp method, the only exception here is I'm using E-6000 clear adhesive and not the other glue (weld-on/771 ABS/the milky looking stuff!)

After snapping off the plastic remainder I used some of it as a joining strip on the insides of the thighs and shins for a little stability, with the help of some clamps, tape and rare earth magnets wrapped in some tape.

Sorry for taking so long to update, I've been working on the thigh and shin pieces as of late. So I took the pieces, measured off roughly 11mm from the outside edge and then marked it with a pencil then scored them with my exacto knife and snapped off the remainder...it went something like this:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.

Roger that! Will do. Thank you for the reminder!

Thank You Sly11! That really means a lot!!

My Daughter seems to like it!

Fast forwarding a bit, here is the bucket after a few layers of novus to shine up the dome a bit. As well as my first attempt at hand-painting the decals. Shout out to Clint aka cm325i for lending me the paints and templates to follow! Thanks a bunch Clint, you rock Brother! as you can see It is still a work in progress. Lots of cleaning up/fixing up to do.

Picked this up from a seller off the ol' EBay. Pretty good job, the lights and sounds worked right out of the box! It will do for now until our budget improves and I can invest in a quality weapon/kit. At least this one I will not be shy to lend to kids while trooping.

Picked these up at the local "Depot". Not pictured (see disclosure on first post!) a set of BCG under suit top and bottoms. Currently looking into TK Boots any suggestions??

All parts present and/or accounted for. Looks like its resting comfortably.

Got a package of goodies to begin working on! The latest AM Kit!! Feeling Psyched!! Along with another bucket, but I may just save this one for later since I already started on the other one.

Mic tips loosely attached just to test the fitting/placement. I think they look okay......

Thank You Snaps!
