Absolutely looks great!!!!! It doesn't have to be exact, just pretty close to pencil width. You are doing great and please continue to ask questions before making a move. This will help you with building self confidence and assurance!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Oh my, that is so so so embarrassing, thank you for speaking up and making me aware of this issue so I can make corrections. I got home this morning and replaced the RS Tube Stripe Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Just submitted photos for L1 approval Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

It was such a rush, I didn't have foam today and was going to pack black socks behind sniper plate just to go to neighbors house, but at the same time, my in laws showed up from out of town. I will absolutely look into pre approval, wasn't aware that this was a thing, very interested!!!!! Thank you gmrhodes13!!!!! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Finally finished Wednesday and today I was able to suit up with completed build. Two of my neighbors are huge Star War fans and I haven't told them anything about me building this kit. I have been waiting for this day a very long time to go surprise them. I am loving this waist belt placement. After today's suit up, I have noticed I have small adjustments to make before submitting for L1 501st approval!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Canvas belt and hand plates are the last 2 items to build for my armor to be COMPLETED!!!!! I found this tube and was able to divide it and insert half inside glove to create hard flat surfaces. Pic 2 it is inserted. Pic 3 is silicone hand plate in position and secured for 24hr cure time. Today I have COMPLETED my build and on Thursday April 4th I will post pictures of completed build and hopefully submit photos to my GML this weekend. It has been close to 6 months from beginning to end. I recieved my BBB Day on October 23rd 2018. Thank you all for THT, Troopers helping troopers!!!!! Your time and help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

Move forward while new elastics for bells cure. My attempt for drop boxes alignment for L3 Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Wow, good point on outer biceps, I will look into that, but first I will replace my elastic, it is way to tight Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

The elastic is to tight on bottom of both bells. I will have to re-strap bells Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I don't like the gap between chest plate and bells, but bells are closer Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Hey Tony removed return edge on bottom of bells Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Could I put velcro here to lock it in??? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Return edge has to go... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I do have Han loops, look here how the bottom bell is inboard and not able to fit around biceps unless pulled out to fit around Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I do have a lot of return edge Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

You can see how narrow the bottom is here and yes I have the elastic tight Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Wow, another great observation Tony. I will hold off on the hot water bath and look into what you are suspecting. I will report back later Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yeah, thank you Justjoseph63, I am looking forward to this hot water bath and resolving this issue!!!!! That is a great idea, pays to have experience with building TK'S Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Hey Tony, thank you. Can you share how I maybe able to draw them in closer??? I am clueless... Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

My holster and white canvas belt has been shipped out and waiting on final soft parts. In this picture I see my sniper knee plate is tucked under my thigh. I will need to install padding. My concern is the shoulder bells sticking out from biceps. I don't like that. I never trimmed them down past from where I did trim the extra flashing off the bells many months ago. I'm thinking I need to trim them, but I'm not sure and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
