Yeah I did! I removed a little over 1cm all around .. a little more in the front/back. It's still a pretty tight fit though. I'll probably end up removing a little more. Not sure if you even notices Han's bucket in ANH, but it was enlarged .. a LOT!!!

Yep, Hair dryer since I don't have a heat gun. But I think you can definitely melt the ABS with the gun if you're not careful...

Curving the shoulder straps: I had them around a cylinder of about 5" of diameter. I put an elastic around them, to make sure they don't move, and then, I hair dried them at super hot for 5 minutes. When I removed the elastic, they straighten back half way between the cylinder and a straight line. Perfect fit for the shoulders. Cold water to keep the shape. I've heard horror stories about boiling ABS .. I wouldn't go this route anyway. But that's just me!

You're right TM, I think the strip was for the legs only. I don't have the measurements for the arm .. but I guess TM's guess would probably be right

The guys are right .. Although mine also looked like Bezerkus (Sept '06) , I wouldn't worry at all about it. I guess AP's molds are getting tired!!!

I just checked the stuff that came with my suit, and AP had given me his original template to do these strips. The width is exactly 20mm, so you'd need to strip both side to around 9mm. What does the instruction says? I don't have them anymore.

Bernard, I thought your FX ROTJ looked really good, this AP ROTJ of course is even better!!! Well done and you're most welcome for the warm thanks! You're one of the most active member here and it always brings a smile on my face when I read your post ... or look at those chick pics of yours! Hahaha Again, Good Job, Bigtur"C"

even sung - yes, the AP kit comes mirrored on the thighs and calves, and arms too. So you basically have 2 sets of right side.

This is the best E-11 tutorial I've found out there. You inspired me!! See my own E-11 thread now;) You'll recognize your own ideas for sure! Awesome job!

I have the AP, but I didn't do the added strips method. Did you install them over the molded seam? Molded seams should be reduced in about half on each side, then, the strip should be glued over the seam. Is that what you did?

Well unless there's another 6'3'' guy in AP armor, I think that would be me I didn't add anything to the armor, I'm using it with the precut lines that came with it. I did enlarge the head hole to fit my head in more easily .. I must have taken off about 1 cm around .. it doesn't show at all, the trim fits now better and it's way easier to get fit it on! Check my ANH armor thread if you want to see how the armor fits on me here: http://whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1729

You rock, it finally works .. last thing, do you know how we delete pictures? Couldn't find a link/function anywhere .. is that possible for simple member?

Neither do I have access to create a new album ...

Not really, here's a more detailed explanation: From anywhere on the site, clicking "My Controls" works and brings me to this page: ** First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment » Your control panel ** In the My Controls page, clicking the left menu (Invision Gallery category) "My Albums" brings me to this page: ** First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment » Your control panel » Your Albums ** .. with this error: Welcome to your control panel No access permissions Sorry, the board administrator has not enabled your permissions for this part of the control panel. Clicking directly in the top bar "My Albums" link brings me to this page: ** First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment » Gallery » User Information ** In the "Galleries" page, I can't click the left menu "Edit my albums" link, same error as above. I can still go directly in my album by clicking on it, and hit New Image, that now works! Didn't figure how to delete an image though .. must not have the rights .... ??

Thanks Chris!! it seems to partially works for now, which is enough for me ... From within the album, I can click the New image button. From the My Control, I still have this: Welcome to your control panel No access permissions Sorry, the board administrator has not enabled your permissions for this part of the control panel. I still don't have any choice to delete an image ...

*cough * cough * bump * cough *

There shouldn't be any gap on the AP helmet. When I put my faceplate under my dome, they actually overlap about an inch!

A straw can be dangerous in the wrong hands too

Thanks Chris, I try to survive with the attachment 500k limits but it's pretty hard Let us know when it's fixed!

Dremel all the way .. Trim, fit, trim fit ... patience

There you go. I quickly put my helmet together for the pix .. don't know what's wrong with the right ear gap .. normally, there shouldn't be that much.

Good job on the E11 ... Maybe someone can help. I'm currently building my own E11 and I was wondering what was the exact width, thickness and length of the track on which the scope is attached. Is it metal or plastic? Also, are these hex screws holding the scope to the bar? I want to know if the one I got is accurate or not and never found that information anywhere ... Thanks for the info, Al

It's even worst now .. just tried it, don't even have access to My Albums link. Admins? Any news for us?

I painted only one black stripe on each side ... Reason is simple, I hand painted them and wanted to reduce the odds of messing up!
