TK-5988

Ya, I think I had forgotten to paint the rivet heads on some of the leg parts. I'll go ahead and fix that up. Thanks everyone

That's the next step

I am attempting to make my own with random parts, similar to Smitty's run a few months (years?) ago.

It is an MRCE, i did try to fill some of the lines with sealant, added dark thick green lenses, and padding, thats about it. thanks everyone!

I need to get a modeling iron,a nd then I can go ahead and trim both the front and the rear chest parts as recommended. I can go ahead and move up the drop boxes, that'll be a cinch. I can also easily suck in the back to front straps. Thanks for all the compliments

Per my initial application, I was to add ab buttons, drop boxes, and finish my thermal detonator. I was also recommended by FISD to have also trimmed my forearms, biceps, and shoulder bells. I also heat gunned my shoulder bells to fit a bit tighter. I have since completed all of these steps. I have emailed who I need to, as to complete my application to the 501st. I will be attempting to go to Elite Standards of the FISD soon. I also have in the works my holster and blaster. Here are some pictures!

I ended up not being able to find silly money clips, I didn't feel like ordering them. So i bought two letter openers, drilled them, riveted them, bent them into shape, and cut off the excess part. They look pretty sweet. I'll add some pictures when I get home.

BTW - Here are some random build pictures... Prior to gluing the fronts of the leg pieces, foam! Helmet padding from an old motocross helmet - I was bored at work.. a TK styrofoam cup!

First - thanks for the warm compliments and such Yes, the shoulder bells need some work... trimming and moving them forward, I totally agree. Its much different when actually looking at pictures vs a mirror. Chest & Back plate - do you think loosening & moving forward the top straps and tightening my side velcro straps would work better to get a tighter connection between my chest and back plate? Biceps - should they basically rest on the inside arm (opposite of my elbow) ? Buttons - Vader Dave's set... coming via mail as we speak Chest plate mod - yes I would like to do this, I just need to get a modeling iron.

I've started my application process through 501st and the Georgia Garrison... I figured I would go ahead and start the application process, even though I have the following to take care of: Purchase Blaster Sew Holster Mount Drop Boxes Mount Vader Dave's button set Finish O2 Canister Trim Shoulder bells Thin forearms & biceps Here's some pictures, any other suggestions? Just Kidding!!

So if the left side has rivets/snaps & elastic... what does the right side have?

This helps tremendously, as now I have a plan of action. Measure twice, cut once... almost everything down to my size. Got it.

I'm a fairly thin guy, and as it stands now, I have padded my armor to make it fit. I didnt know... should I trim it down, so it just fits?
