Sounding great! I knew this could be done glad you are taking this on. May have to get some more arduinos.

Good to know.

Just got the shipping notification for the OT TK soft parts they are on the way. Forgot to mention the important piece of information they are coming USPS apparently not FEDEX.

Interested to see the rarely used hinge and gate lock strapping method! Looks great so far.

a little further south than you in Va ordered on the 30th my kit arrived yesterday as well.

Yes, even with a ruler be careful and take your time. Like Airborne said, I would suggest clamping the ruler to the piece if at all possible.

I am in the it's not a big deal camp. Unless you are four feet two nobody will see you from a top down angle anyway. Should it have been corrected absolutely and perhaps it's something they can adjust in the future. It would be easier to buy another bucket than to fix that if you were so inclined.

Well, he did say "probably". Looks like he fell into the funeral pyre to save Vader's helmet for Kylo.

First read that as you stuck your finger up her nose.... much less mortified the second time I read it. lol. Good job!

Yes and chances are someone has the same question you do and when it gets answered we all benefit. Looking forward to the build!

There we go, figured it was the eFx making those teeth look huge. Thanks for the pic.

Love the lid, there is something going on with the teeth or maybe the eFx is throwing it off, but I am happy to see the final product. Looks great to me.

With visibility at a premium already I doubt sunglasses would be a viable option. They would probably fog up quickly etc. Perhaps some UV film that you could layer on the backside of the lenses but then again that may alter the lens appearance or color and a quick google search didn't pull any options. I have seen some mirrored lenses on some tk's before not 501st approved or accurate but if its a big concern may be an option to just cut some lenses out of a pair of sunglasses and attach to the helmet, if you could find sunglasses with a green hue then you would be in business.

That picture has to be the underside of the pauldron right? I mean nobody would make one with that quilted pattern that was made to be seen.

That is how I started with my Jango fett the funny thing was after finishing the helmet and doing the various pieces I ended up upgrading and selling my original helmet. TK's are a little different when it comes to that so I think it's definitely the way to go. Might also help you decide if you even want to go the rest of the way.
