Now that´s one happy camper and understandable so and nice holster

So...this little fellow (electric guitar switch) arrived the other day and the plan was to install it in the box today....but.... .....after some thinking and decision-making I contacted TM for the screen-used strapping option with belt because the dicision I made was rather then collect stuff all over I might just as well get the stuff from one source and screen accuracy-wise you can`t go wrong ordering from TM and here`s the but...to my surprise TM offered to supply a vac-formed grappling box free of charge to my kit! I of course accepted the offer for three reasons: 1# It´s from TM 2#I don`t have to worry about getting my box up to specs (the one I was "building") an 3# "free" always has a nice ring to it So...instead I took it a part in preparation for when the Kit arrives and boy there where alot of parts

And one for my son...gonna do another one with the correct hook, straps and T-21 but you get the idea of what can be done...and it`s not me who does them, I just happened to come across it on FB and I highly recommend it

Yeah tell me about it! Sometimes the shipping cost more then the item itself

And you did absolutely right in doing so, for me that`s the fun in building, you try something and see how it goes and if your not happy with the result, redo and I say use the templates but not a brush, in her build she uses a sponge and it looks super-easy and super-clean! My TX came with a ready-made helmet but I´m going to use her tip on my Hero-kit and there are many other great building advises, tips and tricks from her and others that really makes it worth while to read it and she also has the tread divided into chapters which makes it easy to navigate to what your interested in for the moment, the shin closure for example is a work of art..so...you won`t regret it

Hi fellow Swedish trooper here....I would repaint and check out Crickets RS build on some great advice in doing the painting

Looking good! and very organized

Made this the other day for my Shadow and have extra pieces to make one for the Hero "yeey" ...made a support-pole for my plastic "mannequinn" using a 30lbs plate, wall mounted door stop, scrap abs, double sided tape, aluminum rods and some soft velcro and printed a Cog and laminated it. Added som duct tape to make a snug fit Put it tohether and then added the scrap plastic using double sided tape with soft velcro underneath to make it more steady and easy on the floors. Ended up putting some soft stuff on the door stop as well and it worked out pretty good. Drilled a hole.....see were to drill? Ready to get dressed...sorry for all the black and I forgot the helmet at home (removed the "feet" as they are no longer needed for support and as a bonus it makes dressing easier). It will be better when I get some stuffing the keep everything lined up properly...instead of wrapping myself in duct tape I will use an inflatable mannequinn and stuff it with pillow cushioning since it won`t be inflated for obvious reasons

The box: Started with some plastic, made a 4x4 inch plate (perhaps it`s too big?) Cutting the sides Glueing it together Using the glue as a reference for size and cut the backplate down afterwards and the strip will become the holder for the hook. added some strips for support and for the glue to have more to hold on to and gave the strip a bath and bent it in shape. That`s the progress thus far, any suggestions would be very much appreciated

Thank you Sir and yeah the armor really looks Amazing!

Thanks you and me both

Let`s see if this work....this is my ANOVOS shadow.... ...it worked, great! So..this was my first attempt on the comlink... ...wasn`t happy with it so here`s the second version...approvable?

Thanks me too and as I don`t have Jedi-patience the armor can`t arrive soon enough It´s a good thing I can work on the other stuff in the meantime

Greetings exalted ones TX 99665 turning to the White Side after spending some time in the Shadows I orderd my TM Hero-kit (1.5mm) about a week ago and really look forward to another build, as many of you states, it`s really addictive! This build will be "all-out" meaning screen-used strapping method, grappling hook and comlink and I really hope I can make it look like it`s from the movie #fingers#crossed. I like to make stuff so I have started with the comlink and gappling box (pics to follow) ordered the hook itself (can`t make that one) from blockaderunner and hopefully it will arrive soon. The switch and rectractable wire is also en route. The armor itself looks truly amazing and I hope I can make it justice! And on a final note: I look forward to interact with you guys since that is a big part of the fun in doing a build On to the pics (as soon as I figure out best way to upload that is)

I second the inputs and would like to suggest that you ad chims to the biceps and abs-paste the seem, sand and polish it out and then you can have the correct width on the cover strips. Or..ask for a new set of biceps as well and be careful when cutting it. Drop boxes would also look much better if the inner box is flush with outer. Keep it up

Looking good, keep it up

Good work on your build and you got talented people helping you Been lurking in the shadows enjoying reading your build, after all I am a shadow trooper (at the moment) But anyways....it could be the angel of the photo (first in this post) but it looks like your butt and kidney should be further up making little to no gap between back an kidney so make sure these line up properly before you trim to much of your thighs and...funny picture and I think you should take another one with finished armor trying to arrest the statue

The Empire is growing stronger

It´s all back!!
