Oh this is awesome! And it doesn't sit too high? You can still see ok? Is it a snug fit around your head?

Keep up the great work bud! You've got quite an audience!

10 years ago?? Wow, I didn't realize AP has been around for that long. That's awesome!

Good luck bud! I just ordered mine too and look forward to your build!

Thanks for sharing that! Looks good!

Lookin good!!

Ok sounds good Tony..I'll do that. I have yet to see a thread like that on here, probably because most do the build themselves. Thanks!

I was thinking, should I start a build thread even though I ordered the pre-built version? Or should I just post the mods I may/will probably make in the Assembly Mods section?

Looking good so far! Want to see how this turns out.

Nice!! Both sides?

You mean you're half way to having things become 'fully operational'?

Very cool. Thanks again Chris for the help and pics! Dang that armor is just beautiful, look how it gleans and shines! Sorry I'm having a moment

I'm 5'7, 185 lbs. Mark said it's definitely not a problem

Thanks Chris for sharing that! So even with that 'indent' showing, as long as the notch is 22x22 it should still be good to go with 501st approval? Even at Centurion level?

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the support Aaron!

Ah I'd like to see that..sounds awesome. But then of course you either lose the return edges or have to re-make em.

Thanks Chris, my biggest concern is the waist - kidney/ab/notch sections.

Thanks Tony! Yeah I'm preparing myself. I actually don't mind the work, just don't think I can do one ground up. My ocd almost killed me with my last armor

I just pulled the trigger on this and wanted to see if anyone else ordered this version, what your experiences were, did you have to still do a lot of mods to make it fit, etc. I'm just a bit worried about how it will fit and what all I may have to mod. Mark reassures me that sizing will be custom to me as much as possible and I don't doubt him, I just wanted to see what others experienced who actually bought this version. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Your storage bin looks awesome....did you just glue the material directly on? Did you put padding as well?

Nice looking blaster for the price!

Damn..that's a good looking helmet! Is the vocoder flat black or semi gloss? The grey ear pieces are perfect! Those are still hand painted I'm assuming? If so, dang the line is just perfect...wow

Build looks to be coming along good! Armor looks awesome man!

Ah..makes sense. Thanks for the response and helmet looks awesome!

Did you use a buffer or you just polished it by hand? Looks amazing!
