I ordered through facebook. He said two weeks. It's been two months. *sigh*

ugh that isn't giving me much confidence. I so glad I didn't wait for them to get approved.

I ordered the boots I need from Gio on Halloween night and since then he hasn't given me any update or responded to the few messages I sent. Any one else having this issue?

I couple weeks back I got my approval and I'm just now remembering to post about it here. ANYWAY I am stoked to be official!

Did you build your gun? it's awesome!

I sent you a message with the info on the boots, short answer is here and here.

Thanks. It was a rough summer. But thanks to constant encouragement from my garrison and my husband I was able to finally get back to it.

I have some explaining to do. A few days after my last update my dog died. It was sudden and violent, and I was alone when it happened. Grief really knocks you on your a$$. I didn't touch my kit for months. The good news is I had my first troop last week and it was a blast! I also got approved! You're looking at TK-72410. Thank you to everyone in the Aurora Borealis Outpost for all the help and encouragement, and my hubby. Good lookin' group if I do say so myself!

SO. MUCH. TRIMMING. Alas I am nearly done with the trimming, and a local armor party is around the corner and I'm hoping I'll be able to get some help with fitting and the such there. I also picked up some clearance black under armor at Sports Authority. We're having our warmest summer on record right now so I'm having a hard time legitimizing staying inside to work on this. I want it to be done, but sun light.

Thanks! It's slow going because I'm constantly second guessing myself. I put my helmet together to prove to myself I could. It's still missing a lot but seeing it together made it so real! Also, if anyone has any good tutorials on helmet building (lenses, etc) please pass them my way.

4 day passes for me and the hubbs! I've always wanted to go AND NOW I'M REALLY GOING!

So the overkill gloves are done! That velcro isn't coming off in this life time. RIP my kitchen table. After two days of getting ready to carve, getting anxious, and doing something else, I finally decided to go for it. I trimmed out the eyes and the 8 teeth (per the CRL). So tedious! But I actually liked it more than the bigger cuts. Some of the local 501st members gave me a lot of advice yesterday and I'm feeling much more confident now. This is my first build ever, so I'm going slow and steady.

thanks! Shoot me a message. I've met up with a few people from the 501st up here and they're all immensely helpful. I'll take all the help I can get!

Boy I hope I'm posting this in the right place. And I put an unnecessary space between 'storm' and 'trooper', off to a great start. Anyhow! My boxes from KWDesigns arrived last week (Thanks!) and everything looks awesome! I have read SO much on here and have taken tons of notes. After a morning of shopping for supplies I got down to business! So far all I've carved out and sanded is the Hand Plates. I used the E6000 to glue velcro in them, and the other side of the velcro to the gloves. They're all setting right now with clamps holding them in place. I'm sure I'm going overkill on them but I want to do this right. Maximum effort!

Awesome to hear! Thanks

Thanks for the wealth of info! This is the one I'm wanting to build, and I've never done anything like this before. I'll use all you notes and pictures! Weird question, but can you ask your wife (or maybe you would know) is she treated different/weird being in the female armor? I don't want to get pigeon holed as 'the girl', but I am in love with the design of this. Thanks!

No worries! I'm hoping to make the one as pictured in the costume reference library. I definitely want to it to be approved. Thanks for responding!

Hi there! I am brand new here. I was looking at the 501st Approved Costume Reference Library and there is a Legacy Era Female on there, is this the same one? There was a much earlier comment about how this would never get approved. Did it? It's really amazing. Like blowing my mind, amazing.
