An amazing thing happened yesterday: the armor I ordered from Troopermaster last week arrived at my house. I choked up at times while explaining to my wife and children why this was the happiest day of my life. Needless to say, many tears were shed. My oldest daughter was upset the big box in front of the house was not her set of Scout Trooper armor from Walt's Trooper Factory. The youngest is upset she is only going to be a Sith this year for Halloween, even though I offered to buy her a set of armor but she declined because lightsabers are cooler. After seeing my armor she regrets that decision. My wife thinks I should spend a few nights on the couch, but that's not gonna happen. I'll be in the basement trying to put together my first Stormtrooper armor kit. Sleep can wait...
The box...
The contents...
The parts, all laid out...
My progress so far...
I need help!
Since the armor arrived much faster than the tools and materials I ordered, I ran down to the local hardware store to buy a razor with some replacement blades. As you can see in the picture above I've barely made a dent. What tool and/or method should I use to trim off those edges? I feel like I'm doing this wrong.
Help me FISD, you're my only hope.
