count chocula

I see some people rounding off the edges of the cover strips, like this (or maybe a little less popsicle-stick-looking than this): While others seem to leave the cover strip ends at almost 90 degree angles: Is there any consensus on whether these should be rounded? Or is it just a matter of personal preference?

so many scraps Rough test fit Hopefully nothing is too bad. I was a little worried earlier today that the thighs were going to be way too tight. After further research I realized I was putting the two outer thigh pieces together *whew*

Dropboxes TD faceplate TD endcaps and shoulder straps

Shins

Thighs

Shoulders I think I may need to take off some more of the return edge

Biceps

I started by trimming/sanding the forearms. The left is a little smaller than the right, as starsaber and others have noted. I can just fit my left hand through the forearm without a glove.

The BBB - sans helmet (which is on the way).

Hey all! I'm a 32-yo from Houston. I landed a set of MTK armor a couple of weeks ago (talked my wife into making it a valentine's day gift). I've been collecting parts and tools and doing a bunch of research. I'm excited to get started on building some armor. I kind of went crazy this weekend and trimmed/sanded about half of the kit and did a rough fit of the arms/legs. Will attach photobomb soon.

I picked this up on amazon. Not sure if this is exactly the same one or not. It says there are several left in stock if anyone still looking... http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Star-Wars-Stormtrooper-Blaster/dp/B00ZJJLH5O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456261516&sr=8-2&keywords=e11+blaster
