No progress tonight but it was like Christmas today . Big thanks to Bobby and his wife. Received a beautiful neck seal and an 8 ounce holster. Also was able to get to the local movie theater and pick up four tickets for the 8: 20 showing of TFA . Woo hoo ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any local countertop shop will have some scraps laying around that's where I got this one I've used it on other modeling builds it works so nice when you need a perfectly flat surface . Or I use half-inch glass as I am a Glazier so I can get glass all day long . Both are great surfaces to work on .

A little more tonight , also order quite a few things. :-) Love watching glue dry ! Not ! I've seen others use a similar method but I use a piece of granite with sticky back sandpaper 100 grit and run my pieces across it to get a perfectly smooth flat edge when sanding .

Here's my progress to date and have been working on a few items when the kids are down thanks for looking Cut and trimmed , first try at paint , I may try again . TD waiting on clips .

Thank you , I've read so much lately , and learning everyday .

Nice job so far, this is really helping me out ! :-)

Thanks for chiming in Walter I really could use your help ? I'm on the local list for mentorship . ( hopefully not for too long ) I've got Tony Adam and Chris all on speed dial on my phone ! Lol! <br> My problem is that the centerpiece on the thermal detonator is too short I will probably have to add a little shimming to it to get it to the right length to match the center of the screws . I'm going to get with Tony and order some clips . i'm still working on my shopping list . I really appreciate all the support in my new long journey , thanks again guys !

Ok fellows it took a little time but I've made my first cuts !!!! Started the forearms , Does this look right ?????? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone asked me in another post what tools I'm using to cut out helmets and other parts of armor here's a pic!

I've also started trimming on my forearms let me know if this looks like I'm going to be cutting too much out the one on the right is original one on the left has been trimmed.

Detonator help please ! &lt;br&gt;<br><br> The blue tape indicates 1 1/16 inch aluminum clips that I do not have yet but they are exact measurement . The overall length of the detonator is 7 5/8 inch . Detonator controls are straight from manufacture to me it looks narrow , as it does not overlap the blue tape halfway on each side . Is this a problem ?????

Thanks Adam , you have bin a great help and also Tony and Chris . Thanks guys .

Thanks Q , unfortunately I'm not on Facebook I will try sending him a message through Esty . Ty sir

I put an order in for an E 11 blaster I haven't heard anything back does anyone have a direct email for these guys ?

Recently I started a thread in ANH but have decided to go ESB. The kit is a AM 2.0 . So here we go! Started on the helmet let me know what you think. Letting the black dry as I will be cleaning it up and starting the gray tomorrow. My question is do you think I need to trim the ears to a lower profile?

Sorry you did ask that question earlier I used a Dremel and assorted small detail files little sandpaper and just took one tooth at a time it sounds like answers that I've gotten I need to square my edges a little bit more
