Working out the placement of... A single male snap on the top right corner of the ab plate is present.

Rivets painted.

I was very confused. I switched them around several times before committing.

double post. Whoops.

My split rivet set came in from Joseph. CW

A little bit of work on the belt and drop boxes.

...and a test fit.

Snipper knee I swapped them around before attaching the sniper plate.

Because I was bored and thought it would give me a good perspective of where I was on the build I laid it all out. CW

Working on some shoulder strapping.

Just for fun with the pauldron.

A little bit of work done yesterday. Arm strapping is done. I found that when you fold the elastic over to punch the holes for the snaps. A little thin CA will harden that area and make it easier to punch the holes and also add strength. I need to straighten up the back plate. I need to trim the free floating straps in the back. I haven't made a lot of progress on the bucket so I'm still in the Black Series.

We have been pretty disgusted about how little Princess Leia (and Rey for that matter) toys are out there. As mentioned in my post. There are no current Princess Leia dolls out there. We were lucky to find a vintage one for our daughter. You would think after Disney acquired Star Wars and Leia became a "Disney Princess" that she would be there right beside Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, etc. in the stores. She would sell like hotcakes. You're right though. I bet there will be one now. CW

Very sad indeed. My wife Cosplays as Princess Leia. She's a household name in our home. The only thing my five year old asked Santa for was a Princess Leia doll this year. We were lucky enough to find a vintage one from 1978 in great shape. My wife at Comicpalooza this past year. CW

Cool. Thanks. The two halves match up pretty well. Better than that last set. I'll swap them as you suggested. I was wondering about that. CW

New shins trimmed. Cover strips cut. Not glued yet.

Like so?

Thanks!

The two longer pieces together? The one on the far left with the one on the far right? Thanks, CW

New shins from Walt. How's that look?

I'm not seeing any pictures. I was having a heck of a time too. If you have a Facebook check out the video in the link below. It works pretty good. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39357-no-more-photobucket/?hl=%2Bfacebook+%2Bpictures CW

I will as soon as my new shins arrive and I get the front of them covered. CW

Back to the upper armor for a change of pace. Bicep hooks. Not sure I really need them. Did some male snap pads. I calculate five per arm. Weekends over. Back to work tomorrow. I may be lucky to get a couple things done. My new shins should be arriving from WTF this week also. CW

Cap rivets painted.

Moving along on the thighs and ammo pack. I still have to paint those cap rivets.
