  1. Thanks and jepp..I´m just 5mm shy of beeing the often spooken ideal hight of 5´10 however...at 200lbs there are other challenges
  2. happy times..time for brackets All done and....cover buttons glued in Place...on to next mission
  3. And the dropboxes...I cut the first outer one to size and used it as a guide for the other one, the inner boxes I just put inside the outer, then mark and cut....and this is how it looks
  4. Imperial factory up an running ones more I had high hopes for a lot of progress but ended up with "just" the belt...following TM turtorial on FB Drilled the holes for cap rivets and marked the middle on the cloth-belt and put the cap in Snaped the belt to the ab and marked the end-holes Put the caps in and in the words of the master (not mine) it`s a perfekt fit
  5. Another happy day working on the armor Shoulder bells and bridges are done (trimmed and cleaned up) biceps and shins are trimmed to size and just need som cleaning up *woop woop*
  6. You are most welcome but...I can`t take credit, it`s just one of the perks working at a school (at least were I work) that you can use the facilities after hours and before as well I actually just got home after getting some triming and sizing done.....and regarding your workshop..I can only imagine what it must be like, I remember seeing a video of your Halloween and it was just Sick!! and I mean that in the best of ways...and body parts you say...well that`s totally fine to as long they are from rebel-scum
  7. I know right?! caught myself just watching the armor with a stupid grin in my face more than once and.... still on the easy parts but I hope so and at the same time I´m so enjoying this I never want it to end in a way...oh well I can always save up for another Kit and it would be well worth it! In my head I already have a Luke-, Han- and a stunt- version in TM-armor...oh and a ESB-trooper and ROTJ-trooper
  8. Just triming, cleaning edges and singing along ....*happy happy happy*
  9. Work began today *yeey* the bells were bigger than my other armor so might just be able to keep some return edge, tomorrow I will clean upp the edges and maybe start strapping the torso or trim legs and arms...but so far so good....really really enjoying working with this kit, great prep work from TM! the little jar is of course abs-paste in case.... and....the armor really is super-flexy and I can´t wait to try it on
  10. Thank you Sir and thank you yet again for your awesome work! Gonna start the trimming tomorrow and I will do my best to make the armor justice...truly a work of art And...I am so going to enjoy this...almost have to calm myself down
  11. I totally agree, the armor looks amazing and I just love it.....makes me want to start saving up for another kit right this minute
  12. Thanks and me neither, considering taking a week of from work (I wish)
  13. You know that moment when you feel really really excited and happy? well...I´m having that moment now....my Big Brown Box has arrived! with great anticipation I opened it and wow..just wow, it was so well packaged that even if a tank rolled over it the only thing crushing would be the brown box Just look and you`ll se what I mean and when unrapping it I discovered this! instructions on how to cut and assemble and all the strapping was individually labeled! and extra set of ears! Just amazing and here it is, resting securely in the bin awating assemly - truly amazing armor and I´m over the moon happy to call this set of armor mine! and...just love the Hero-helmet..perhaps going for the really low-brow look? To Troopermaster: a BIG thank you Sir!
  14. Thanks, quite pleased with the "finished product", hopefully I can make my TM fit as good
  15. Looks pretty good to me and I would do the same: meaning re-position the brackets on the butt/kidney, place them further out and perhaps shorten the elastic....you could drop the chest just a tad, but if it was me I would rather trim the neck for comfort..unless you are going for the "Luke-look" and the but-flare won`t be seen as much ones the thighs are on so I would wait and see
  16. Got some great news and if all goes to plan and the postal service uses the force my big box could arrive at the end of next week #fingers#crossed
  17. Oh! That's terrible! As fragarock said, get plenty of rest! We'll be here waiting for you...Hope you get well soon ☺
