Salutations! I'm a younger guy of 23 years, college student, and new to the forums but have been lurking here for years; admiring and compiling loads of research that has been graciously volunteered upon these boards. I'm not particularly handy but very willing to accept a challenge and learn from it accordingly. Too long has it been since I've wanted to realize my childhood dream and join the ranks of the Empire among you beautiful people. Through trial, error, and this gorgeous MTK kit (shootout to Mike!) I swear to don this armor with utmost pride and respect one glorious day. But enough of my rambling, this is about the build and the day has finally come. Let's get to work, shall we?
To start, I decided to go forward with the helmet as I imagined it would give me the most difficulty...
A blank canvas:
I've learned a lot in dentistry school!
Not sure if I'm there yet (we'll come back to this)
Out with his eyes!
A fresh shave and a cleaned up face
I had a boo-boo while trimming around the neck
E6000, spare ABS, and clamps to the rescue
The patch was successful!
Onto the back+cap
