Not bad! I'm looking at getting the same blaster ordered for an Iden build, and to give me something to do. I saw you stated it wasn't the best but now that it's finished, would you recommend it? I'm considering a few other printed kits as well.

Just recently approved on Dec 1st, just in time for a hospital troop. I can't tell you how excited I am to be a part of this organization and how rewarding it was to interact with the kids and faculty. Had a few audio hiccups (velcro wasn't strong enough for the speaker in the chest plate, and since reinforced) but all in all was a great experience! Shout out to the forums,@ukswrath's very helpful guide and members of Star Garrison who helped make my first build a reality!

Good call, I'll try on with boots this evening. I went ahead and glued in the straps last night to get a better idea if this is going to work

So far, the only thing I've run into an issue with is my forearm cuts, which can be found here: My next issue begins with the shin pieces closing discretely using the hook method found on Uswrath's tutorial. I haven't glued anything yet and mainly just have tried on my shin pieces with magnets holding the elastic bands that the hooks sit on. Currently, it's looking like this: I feel like because the hook sits on the elastic, it has too much cushion to close, so i tried moving the hook so it's floating off the elastic but I really won't know until I glue. As it sits, I do have a small over lap from the 2 shin parts, and if that's causing too much of an issue, I can still trim a bit from the hook side. The other thing I also did was open up the hooks a bit with pliers as the holes are 1/8 " and do not fit if I don't bend them, and I don't want to open up the holes if that isn't the issue. The hook size i'm using are size 3 bra fasteners. This last picture has all 3 hooks attached and as you can see is pretty opened, and the cover strip really doesn't hide much. Any help would be appreciated!

I really appreciate all this advice, and I will be posting to those forums as suggested. I'll go ahead and take down the return edges and for now keep on trimming (super carefully) my other pieces before I start custom sizing to avoid trimming anything else too much. @troopermaster indeed I trimmed to the red line instead of the blue. At some point I should have stopped trimming from both sides equally, and started taking from the bottom more. My kit is an Anovos, and I've checked the website and they do have spare parts for sale thankfully. I just wish I didn't have to purchase the entire right arm. At least I learned from this mistake early!

Hey guys! I finally attended my first armor party after receiving my armor, and started trimming and cutting (to my size) my right forearm. It's the one that I have blue tape on. Today I started just trimming down my left pieces and while they're not trimmed or sanded, the cuts do sit nicely in the center. Should I be worried that my under piece on my right arm is a bit bigger than my top forearm piece? Though it's a good fit, I feel I may have cut too much from the top and not enough from the bottom. Any help would be appreciated!
