Cheers. Will adjust shoulder bell and get it closer, just needs an additional snap. I’ve added some Velcro so will get the belt nudged up a bit. Good shout re shins, was going to add foam as they started to spin a turn a bit but also want them to sit higher. To close the gap as much as I can . Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks buddy, that’s a lot clearer. I’ll see what they need for First stage and get that done. That’s been a busy few months in the man cave but really enjoyed the challenges and triumphs. Can see why people don’t just stop with the first one. Ordered a TRamp system today and will fit Troopercoola set when they arrive. Gone a bit over budget but worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sniper knee glued, shins finished, glued a bit of Velcro to back of belt and ab to keep that in place. Adjusted counter on blaster. I think I’m ready to do submission pictures this weekend. Apparently I have to apply for a 501st number? Then apply for full access on FISD, then apply for each level? Any tips on where I go for all of this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point. I’ll try it out before doing anything radical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Making a few modifications whilst bits drying. Added a head piece from a visor shield, bolted it onto some firm pads which are velcroed in to sides, I have a small head but this has made it fit nicely. Troopercoola fan set on order. Might get a voice changer installed too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any good suggestions for popper/slider connection for ab-kidney pieces. Realised I can’t get fingers in to attach lower popper and was going to add another lower down. I’ve glued in a piece that slides into another bit in middle to stop the pieces moving but might redo that side if anyone has any cool ideas for this before glueing in more poppers. Finally fixed thigh ammo pack and glued cover strip to back of other shin then to glue on sniper knee. Gloves waiting to be collected from post office then maybe I might be nearing completion?

Thank you. I’m going to have to fit some helmet fans, it gets a bit foggy in there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m think I’m getting close to fishing. Cover strip on back of one shin to do, then Velcro to add. Sniper knee to glue on (Blu tac used for test fit). Thigh ammo pack to secure in place (screwed in for test fit) couple other bits and pieces. Just waiting for gloves to arrive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m planning too, my legs are so long and thin that it gives them a bit of depth to match the top half of the armour Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got ridiculously long legs so no risk of leg parts clashing at top or bottom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick test fit of leg armour this morning, John Wayne pose is due to not having a belt of leg elastic in yet. Going to get sniper knee and ammo belt fitted next Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, so carried on heat bathing and think I’ve got as close as I can get it. Is it usual for it to be slightly angled up towards one side? Whilst I was at it, I heated up sniper knee and bent top sides in after trimming them down yesterday, think I’m happy with it compared to how it did look Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, that’s all really useful. Going to shape as much as I can then trim the end and add the curves in. All great advice and support as usual from everyone, really appreciate it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all for the pics and advice. Whilst cooking dinner I decided to reshape the ammo pack. Does this look ok or does it need to be flush on all knee end facets? Softened the bends as it was but one bend is on a ammo box so difficult to get that bend in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I’ve trimmed a bit off the top and sides and will hot water bath the top sides to bring them in. Just waiting for shins to set them I’ll tackle it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the thigh ammo pack, could someone give me pointers on where it’s supposed to attach to the leg? Seen lots of threads but can’t quite tell whether I need to trim ends etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, is yours an AM kit? I love how strong it is but it’s a job wrestling stuff to fit if not exactly matched. Getting there, nearly fished top section, glueing thighs tonight then hoping to get shins done tomorrow. Few bits I want to revisit but think I’m winning. It’s a labour of love isn’t it but enjoying it, don’t think I read up this much when I was at university Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have seen this technique in a few threads, looks like a fair bit of work involved. I’ll go with Velcro and if any issues can always upgrade to magnets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what I found regards sniper knee. I just can’t see how mine can get that fit without the need for trimming down the top sides? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Belt finished, upgraded holster as first one was rubbish. Just glueing thighs together, then onto shins. Quick one regards sniper knee, fits flush but seems to have a fair bit of trim topside showing. Does this need trimming or is positioning wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also any idea where I get 6mm single cap rivets? Needed for knee ammo pack Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any AM people out there who can help with drop box issue? Clearly got 2 slightly smaller boxes and 2 larger, assume smaller should sit completely inside larger but no way they’ll go in. Thought I’d ask before sanding the life out of the smaller boxes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Button panels painted today, side poppers added, fashioning a slide catch to help keep it aligned. Elastics added to arm parts. Gloves ordered. Re measure of legs so hope to get them finished this week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Busy day fitting ab-kidney rivets, cod rivet, bum snaps, TD done. Have to wait for rivet gun before setting to work on belt, drop boxes and holster tabs but hoping top half is getting ever closer to completion. Then go back to doing legs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
