This is brilliant! Please keep updating as your build continues.

I'm thinking about making a V2 with magnets as well, the open ends of the tubing make for a perfect concealment. Just a matter of finding magnets with a shape that will fit...

Thanks guys! Next patrol destination: IKEA.

No, I just went in winging it. Employees and staff ended up loving it!

Thanks guys! And yeah, imperial binders on the right (since fixed the broken the strap, which you can see). I stuff my voice amp under my chest armor with velcro.

Here's the first in a series of videos I'll be doing where I go on patrols or missions to different places, big and small. Enjoy!

Thanks Aaron. Looking forward to getting out there with some other TK's!

Yeah, the suit is less shiny than shown in the product photos, too. More of a nice soft satin sheen if that makes sense.

Yeah, the one I got doesnt actually have the gloves, it's just cut off at the wrists. The feet are attached, however.

TK 21650 requesting 501st access! http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=20515

Haha! Thanks, Tim! Means a lot!

Well it's officially official, now! Got my TKID tonight from central command. <br><br> TK 21650 reporting for duty!

Just in from SoCal GML: "Thank you for your patience! We have finished our review and have reached a decision. Congratulations! Your costume has been approved" Woooohhhooooo! [cracks beer]

Sweet!

A bit technical but fun nonetheless!

Okay, good to know it's not just me! For some reason, it was the only way I was able to get it attached, is it just because of the length of the knee ammo? Seems like if it was longer it would accomodate a larger radius, thus a lower angle while still hitting the bottom of the thigh...

Sent in 501st photos to GML a few days ago, now I wait.

Made a new signature, here's the full size. Will update it when I get my TK number, probably add a 501st icon as well.

Hey guys, just watched this incredible 30min documentary on the making of most of the effects in Force Awakens. I work in the film industry and some of their tricks even surprised me! Enjoy.

Thanks! Sent in my 501st application, will take photos to submit soon as well. Is that light I see ahead?

New boots just arrived. Much better height. Think that will make all the difference. They seem pretty spot on, from the stitching to the U shaped elastic. Will just need to sand down or fill the small logo by the heel. A great deal at $50 shipped! http://www.amazon.com/Horze-Adult-Economic-Leather-Jodhpur/dp/B00CUHT6VA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452974038&sr=8-1&keywords=horze+jodhpur

I'm developing an iOS based TK voice changer/static burst app, please follow along here! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34939-troopertalk-voice-changer-w-static-burst-app-dev/

Yeah, new boots are much taller above the ankles, shouldn't be a problem.

With all the major components of the build finished, I couldn't resist the urge to put all on and take an action shot! I still have a few things to adjust (boots are being completely replaced) and fix but it's 99% there, I think! What a great feeling wearing the whole kit for the first time. "There's one! Set for stun."

Finished the forearms! For some reason, they were the scariest part. I don't know why. I ended up having to go with a velcro closure, because my hands are just too damn big but I think it's fine, not very noticeable. I installed the strapping between the bicep and forearm, using 2" black elastic. I opted for velcro on both ends instead of gluing it, in the event I need to remove a piece. Holds plenty strong and I like that I have the ability to adjust the gap distance if I need to. And here's a photo to show the completed arms attached to the shoulders. What do you guys think?
