I got to the point today where I wanted to throw my armor in a pit and burn it. Luckily I pulled myself away to take a break. Will post pictures tonight of today's progress.

I never thought of doing this. Would the best way to do this is to use a Dremel??

Ok! I finally made a run up to a larger town than my own the get the last items I need, mainly elastic... lots of it. So I started the strapping. Seems like it's coming along nicely. But I still I have the question about the shins. I'm not 100% sure if the pairs are correct, but if i don't hear anything by tomorrow morn I'll glue what I have aligned. I have these next two days and Monday off from school (spring break), so I plan to get a lot more done. I also finally received my under suit and gloves. Updates coming soon! I also hope to finish my blaster. Haha!

They go in and out of stock all the time, you just have to be a little patient. To get my kit I just kept checking every now and then until they had more. But if you do not want to wait, I'm sure there are others on here that can answer your question where to get a kit. Good Luck!

Well, it's your gun. I personally wouldn't, but if you truly wanted to... -----------

Breaks my heart. She and her family will be in my prayers.

All these shock troopers are really tempting me. Haha! Good luck on your build!

I am by no means an expert in E-11's, but this is pretty cool!

Here are the shins. They are 20mm across. Do they look like they are correctly lined up?

And I've heard that Anovos might have mixed up the part labels, so I'll be sure to post photos before I glue to get your input if they are indeed with the correct partner.

Yes! I've already sized the front for the cover strips, so I guess I'll be gluing those and then size the back. Thanks!

So I took one of your photos and started Photoshopping...

This looks awesome so far! I'd love to get a DLT someday. Be sure to keep us updated!

All righty, so while waiting for my brackets and whatnot to come. I've marked where the rivets are going to be placed on the ab plate. Does it look right? And I was sizing the shins and I have skinny legs, but how much should I take off? I don't want to take to much. Thanks for the pointers! I really appreciate them!

Little Progress last night. Glued these guys. And trimmed these and painted. I know the paint job is not perfect, but after looking at some screen references they aren't perfect either! So I am good! More to come!

Haha! It's always hard to detect sarcasm on the inter web.

The problem for me is that I am jumping in this hobby relatively early, being only 18. I don't have much money since most of it should be going to tuition. But hey! That's awesome your wife supports you. I hope my future significant other is going to be as well (since I'll already have a TK suit).

The helmet for now is 100% complete (for now). It's not Centurion level yet, but that's all right for now. I just want to get this thing done. Here it is with the mic installed along with all the other wiring. You can notice that I elected to go the electrical tape route. I works really well for a cheap solution and doesn't look too bad. I also ordered latex hand guards and original strapping system.

So true! I was like, "$550 for stormtrooper armor! Sweet!" Little did I know. Boots, a blaster, tools, glue and so forth. But it will be worth it!

Excited to see this build move along!

One thing if you are shooting for Centurion is that you will need to paint the rivets white, but for EIB it's fine. But looking good!

Wow! This is looking good! I've always like the look of a DLT-19. Keep at it!

Been a while since I looked at this thread... WOW! You've done a fantastic job!
