Freedomfighter

Hey guys, I`m requesting access too: TK - 12811 https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=28123 Thank you!

Oh wow I just saw it, it worked!!! Yesterday I sent my membership application for 501st and today (!) came the e-mail with the confirmation: I am officially admitted! My costume was taken off and I am now a member of German Garrison !!! I am very happy and thank you all for the great support, the help, the encouragement - without you I would not have made it! I especially thank Christoph for his direct support here in Germany and also special thanks to Paul (troopermaster), you`ve just made it possible with your great armour kit and all your great help here!!! Also thank you Joseph and lucnak for all your advice and your help through my building process! Thanks to all who encouraged and helped me! You can`t imagine what this means to me. Not too long ago I would not have thought that any of my wishes would come true at all or that I am still here. When I think about it, it fills me with pain and I`m so glad that this time is over and I hope that it never will come back. Maybe it sounds crazy, but all this, the trooper and the membership here, are good signs for me for a new beginning. I'm really looking forward to my first troop Thank you guys from all my heart!

Yes, the ab buttons are scratched although I let them dry for 24 hours and used humbrol enamel, which are recommended. But the chest plate scratched it... I have not corrected it, because it looks like fight markers

Okay, so here is a new try with the pictures. Hope it works this time!

Yes, you're right! I have already noticed during longer walking, that it often hooks on the left knee and have shortened the shins

And today: Birthday of my Trooper! Here are the very first pictures of it, I'm so curious what you say and I'm glad about your criticism. So much cutting, glueing, crying, bleeding and redoing, I can not believe that it is actually finished now!!! At least it's done so far that I can now put all the pieces together and show you how it looks (the background of the pictures is not optimal, it`s just to give you an impression of my work). It`s not perfect but I made it

And yesterday I made my holster with the last leather I had here...

So I had to hurry up a little bit because the next movie is coming soon! So I did my painting:

You are great, thank you! I will order and try it!

Hey guys, thanks to your tips, it worked well with the ABS paste and filling! I have taped the holes, so that I had to sand down only a bit. Unfortunately, after sanding, the ABS does no longer shine. Can I made it shine again?

Thank you guys for these encouraging words!!! You're right, mistakes happen, it´s frustrating but it`s not the end of the world and I have experienced worse things. I try the ABS paste today! I managed to get the holes in, then I will manage to get them back

Thanks for your help, I managed to successfully install the split rivets! It was really helpful to use a very hard ground. I was so happy that it worked, but unfortunately I made a really stupid mistake. I drilled the holes for the split rivets on both sides and not just on the left. That`s soooo stupid, I know, but it happened. So what should I do best now?

Okay thanks for your advice, I try it again

"I double my efforts", Lord Vader wants the construction to be completed! And yes, there are pink spring clamps in the hardware store! So last weekend I glued a lot with E6000, attached elastic bands, shoulder straps on it, cut edges and drilled holes in my armor (don`t ask how, my husband has already rolled his eyes when he saw me using his tools ...) Only the split rivets annoy me for days, I bend, I hammered but they won`t get flat!

Finally arms and legs are done and my silicone hand guards (thanks Joseph!!!) are glued. I`m just waiting for my split rivets, so that I can continue with the body parts
