Spazmo

Thank you, that's a very helpful tip!

Thanks everyone! Slowly starting to get cracking on this. I've done a round of rough trimming on everything, and started sizing down the forearms and biceps (feels like I've shaved off at least 4 meters of the left bicep already, haha.) It fits snuggly inside the one that hasn't been trimmed down yet. looks like it'll need some re-shaping after all this though. Not sure if I should do that before or after gluing it though. Quick question for anyone that might be reading this: On the front of the forearms, how much can I get rid of here? How much should be left on the sides of the cover strip? I've tried looking through some build threads, but I'm all over the place right now and can't seem to focus

It's time to get my own build thread started! Kicked off the weekend in the best way ever today - picked up my BBB at the post office after getting off work. Cheated a little bit and got the helmed built by Troopermaster - It's my first time doing this, so I figured getting the armor together and fitted to my body would be more than enough challenge this time. Also, his helmets are just gorgeous. Edit: For those that end up reading this, perhaps I should add in some details about myself. Female Height: 5'5/167cm Weight: 132/60kg TK boots from Imperial Boots arrived on Tuesday, so I've already spent the majority of this week on cloud nine. Don't really have much to add right now. Just spending some time unpacking everything and taking it all in, and starting some minor trimming just to have done something and get a good feel of the abs before I dig into anything major. Let's do this!

That's good to know! I went with the TM armor, which I think might be slightly bigger than the ATA. Love the clean look, and it was a really big plus that TM also is in Europe. Sounds very promising though, that you didn't need to shave off a lot from every single piece. Probably gonna need some padding here and there as well. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I'll manage to get it together as well as you have!

Congrats, you look great! Welcome to the legion! Your build thread and results (+ Cricket's thread) makes me so excited to get started on mine when my BBB arrives - we're just about the exact same height and weight
