As this doesn't show any consistency I would agree that yes both ways should be allowable.
It's clear that the dressing department didn't take any notice or had a specific direction on this point.
Or possibly on purpose? To show the deterioration of discipline in addition to the deterioration of armor.

Looks like an awesome time.
I want that bowling shirt! Lol.

There are a lot of 2.0 and 1.0 builds but Dave is saying he's at version 4.5 now. Does anyone know a good 4.5 build?
4.5 is essentually the helmet version. I was confused at first as well since that is how he refers to the whole kit. The 1.0 vs 2.0 refers to some significant body changes that happened quite a while ago. I'm assuming that the helmet has had more changes than the rest of the kit. So look for 2.0 builds and you'll be good.

I'm having a hard time finding the Tandy 24 snaps here. That, and the ones I did find were crazy expensive. I get that you don't want to cheap-out on them for sure. But, has anyone found any alternative brands that still hold up well?
Others on the forums have recommended fasnap.
https://fasteners.fasnap.com/viewitems/snap-fasteners---screw-studs/standard-snap-fasteners
is what I have purchased and they seem to plenty strong from just creating and testing my snap plates. My kit's not done yet so I can't personally vouch for them while trooping though.

Regarding using wood blocks for helping the shaping of the return edges, Cricket made a jig that she used several times to recreate return edges and to flatten out the creases made from shaping those areas.

Good to know, thanks. Just wondering how a hot water water bath works?
Does it melt the e6000 a bit?
Basically heat a big pot of water to about 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the end of whatever your need to reshape into the water for about 30 seconds, remove, form it to the shape you want and then run it under cold water until it's normal temperature again. I have a decent tolerance for heat so a just use rubber gloves to hold and squeeze it. You may need to gradually work your way to the desired shape. I wouldn't get to forceful with it to begin with. And E6000 isn't phased by the heat.

Regarding the forearms, AM's are kind of wonky. I've lost track of the number of times I've hot water bathed mine. I think I've finally got them to a shape I like.
I'm having the the same issues as you with the cover strips. I think I'll look into the white E6000 as well.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I ended up going with this bad boy for $134.66 off Amazon, including 720 black Line 24 snaps and a hole punch tool. It arrived very quick and I am VERY pleased with it so far. We'll see how it does for scaled production once I bolt it to my workbench shortly... MAYBE

Nice! Looks better constructed than the goldstar.

Looks amazing! Did Marc happen to mention when the kit may be available to the public?

And it would appear that there also some troops on the horizon so it would be awesome to meet up at one or more of those, too!! I look forward to it!
I hope so! Even if I don't have my kit ready my camera is! Honestly it is fun to even just hang out and take pictures.

Hi Joe,
I'm from Bellevue and I'm in the very slow process of assembling an AM kit. If you'd like to take a look at it before you decide on what kit to get, let me know. I've only cut the biceps and forearms to fit so far. The rest has only some return edge removed.

It will be interesting to see if he'd sell a kit that's compatible with Tino's completion kit. I can't wait till this is available for the public!

Maybe I should contact Hellhounds. Especially if they have metal parts and can do the full ANH. Does he make the Bapty version too? Or the Move Along E11? How good does yours look?
Caleb has a review of the Hellhounds blaster

How often does Doopy Doo sell? Out of Stock since last October. Are they still around?
It's been almost a year since I placed my order and I've not yet received it. I hope they are still around!

Forearms - Trimming
The right forearm has a definite flat spot on both sides of the top piece as seen in the top photo. My thought is to measure down 8mm from there and make my cut. (red arrows on the bottom photo). The bottom piece of the forearm would then be trimmed to fit. The left arm's top piece would be trimmed to the same measurements as the right and then the bottom piece would be trimmed to fit as well.
Does this sound like a good plan? -
Forearms - Removing the Return Edges
The forearms had a tighter radius than the biceps so I had to make some relieve cuts before using the curved lexan scissors.
Files made quick work of the rest. I still need to square off the wrists but that can wait for later.
