It sure does!

Thanks and me neither, considering taking a week of from work (I wish)

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!

Thanks, quite pleased with the "finished product", hopefully I can make my TM fit as good

and mine

No worries, here`s some reference from the RS-suit

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

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

Patience?? Hah I'm No Jedi!

I see, so where's the pics then?!

Oh! That's terrible! As fragarock said, get plenty of rest! We'll be here waiting for you...Hope you get well soon ☺

Any progress?☺

Started on the armor yet?☺

Armor-bin is ready for transport - fits perfectly!

Aha not the one I thought then...I´ll check it out-thanks

And painted...this time I did it by hand, practise until it`s time for the helmet ...was thinking about going free-handed and not use any templates...not that I´m Rembrant or any thing and kind of expecting to do some clean up and re-painting but thought it would be fun to try at least

Thats very nice! Is it the one one sale here? And the comlink looks super to! I might have to change "build what you can yourself-approach" even though it`s fun I´m not sure i will look as good I´m of to paint the one I got now and then se how it works/looks with the box when it arrives and go from there

Hey! and well...I´m not entirely sure, I did a lot of looking at scenes and pictures and it´s hard to find a definitive answer, at least in my opinion...the scene suggested sure make it look black but since it´s metal, I could be wrong but it sounds like metal clashing when Luke fiddles with it or made to sound that way due to the fact it´s a prop...anyways...there´s a lot of reflection and shadows going on which make it hard to tell for sure...and almost all the reference pics show the hooks to be of silver/silver-like colour as does the "hot toy-figure". Going over the movie and pics yet again I think it´s somewhere in between, maybe gun metal/grey-isch and quite possible they also used diffrent ones ...however....due to your post I started thinking again (now I´m boasting) and as the pic in the CRL show it´s black so.....re-painting it is! Thanks for the input, much appreciated and..have you got yours yet? and if so, would you mind posting a picture?

Here we go Used this as a reference....the hooks extend waaaay more...I want THAT one!!...oh well... ...paint the parts Assemble And the accessories are done (..whilst trying to ignore the difference..)

Very cool and good work

A delivery today as well and not the biggest box but welcomed just the same nice package! A vital part for the Hero-build and hopefully paint and assembly can start tomorrow

Yeah just gonna add some nice decals/stickers and I´m good to go and no, not yet...got something in mind? and just remebered: to add some foam to the interior!

Another delivery today *wohaa* Inspection-time! What do you mean it´s not mine??!! This was great but somehow I´m more excited over another big box delivery in the near future

Yes, they are not a requriment for approval, I removed all on my shoulders...although I would recommend keeping the return edges as much as possible on other armor pieces as it gives the armor a sence of thickness...and while on the subject, return edges are NOT allowed on the wrist if you go for Centurion and it`s not very comfortable so I´d say remove them anyways

The cracks are easy fixes with abs-paste and som sanding....and the lesser return edge the more flex of the shoulders.
