LTM

Sizing the torso, I have marked at the 2 inch point of removing from the kidney (nothing cut yet). Should I remove any more of the return to the front (I assume most of the top part is hidden by the chest piece)? How much room should be left in front and back? I currently at this mark can put fingers in the front and back at the same time, or if I push the piece to my chest I can fit my hand down the back.

Biceps have been fitted and trimmed, will do final cuts when I put on the cover strips

Sizing the bicep, should I fit with the oval shape or try at this stage before cutting to make it a little rounder (or does it really matter)?

Parts that I will use are laid out. Very nice casting! Can anyone tell me what the two bottom left picture parts are (maybe sandtrooper?)

Hey Jeff, Reach out to Master Blaster and see if he has a R1 version (or can make one). I built one and am a happy customer. Using his electronics kit and Tramp as well. Lou

It is finally here! Happy BBB day to me

Paldron by Veeds, leather or pleather mp38/40 magazine holders (thanks for the link Joseph) Magnets for the "cricket shins" 'TM - slow boat from china finally got here

Blaster has been finished, used a lot of different parts to create an accurate but "durable" or "fixable" trooping blaster. Master Blaster 3D print Real Sterling folding stock (gives it some heft without being too heavy) Tramp scope and electronics (now with more pew-pew) Functional slide with battery hidden in the slide Master blaster speaker and location

Hyperfirm DLT-19

Will be doing the magnetic shins ala' Cricket:

Seans build of AM My WTF build:

Here we go again. After dry fitting the WTF kit to my frame (6'1" 195 pounds) I was not happy with the fit (too much under-suit showing). So, after following Sean and his build of both (WTF and AM) I decided that the AM would be a better fit. Lots of tips and tricks were learned, so I have a little more confidence in this build. My WTF armor will go to my wife after I finish this kit. The family that troops together, something something something... Just got the tracking number, so now the BBB day is fast approaching.

Same here, the excitement begins for the BBB day!

Looks good, if you want to tighten it up a bit maybe a couple of plastic tabs on the cover side to "lock in" and pull it closer? I also see more experienced troopers talking about "comfort" while trooping and some cut a moon shape out of the back of the shin to allow a little more movement. Maybe after you get approval?

We know Jeff, we know Do NOT fail the empire! j/k

Shoulder bells, don't forget shoulder bell gate

What are the dimensions of the shin magnets?

This is from Sean's build, worth sharing as it is a simple jig to get the spacing even. A few posts down on page three

So Walt must be checking this build. Just posted that he needed to make a new master for the bell, and the new one is 1.5 inches deeper. If you want to get replacements, PM rocky.

Same issue on mine. If you ordered new ones, make sure to tell Rocky the issue so he can send you the best copy available.

Paint pen, look around for different points but it makes the process a little easier https://www.amazon.com/Testors-Enamel-Paint-Marker-Gloss-Black/dp/B008CVNTL6/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1520639928&sr=8-8&keywords=black+paint+pen

How goes it, Sean?

Awesome stuff, cricket! Noob question for you, any thought on doing this for forearms to get a closer opening for wrist (or just not necessary)?
