Been awhile, hasn't it? Life got pretty busy since I last posted here, but I still wanted to give a big thanks to everyone's tips. Like I said, this is my first build so I'm learning the ropes slowly but surely. Anyways, I haven't made a lot of progress on the build, but I'll fill in on what I have managed to to fix on my helmet. Being the most complete thing on the suit so far, I've been doing my best so far to make sure it's as polished as it can be. The lip has been 50% fixed, the bottom has been repainted and now I need to do the top to match. The screws on the helmet have been trimmed, the ab buttons have been cleaned up and the vocoder paint has been refined a little bit. Having trouble posting pictures but they'll come in once I figure it out. Also, I figured out that I skipped an important step in putting the leg together. I forgot to take the return edges off, and for some reason forgot to fit it directly to my leg, which is why I couldn't manage to make it feel comfortable, so that's going back to the workbench for now. Anyways, I'm excited to get back into the swing of things and start my build up again. As always, any tips (and nitpicking) is appreciated.

Update Time. Life's been busy the last couple weeks, so I haven't gotten much done. However, today I had some free time so I got to work on getting some smaller parts of the build. Here we go. Thermal Det. (Currently Drying): Abdomen Armor Buttons (Sanded and Installed): And finally, a shin. (Sniper Knee Side): Please note, I'll be installing the sniper knee soon, just hadn't gotten to it before work. The helmet has been repainted. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out and provided plenty of reference pictures. Hopefully, I'll be able to dedicate a little more time to the pile of white plastic that is my future suit.

As of right now, I am just aiming for basic. I am looking to upgrade to Centurion once I've got everything all together! I'll have an update this weekend out covering touch ups on the paint. Also, I am going to start working on the legs while the new paint sets. Anyone have advice with thigh and leg armor before I start?

Thanks for the heads up on the frown! The reference I've been using makes it look as though the frown was fully painted. Shouldn't be too hard of a fix, though! I am going with ANH. It's interesting to me the slight differences between the movies though. I had no idea the teeth were painted black in ESB I forgot to mention that I had also gotten most of the painting out of the way first before I started sticking parts together all willy-nilly like, so here is the other things I managed to get done! Gloves: Chest Panels: Please note ^^ these are getting touched up soon.

Afternoon, So earlier this year I finally made the choice that I was gonna dress as a plastic spaceman. Four months and plenty of research/tool gathering late, my kit has arrived. So I figured the best place to start was here since this is my first kit. The only two things that I've managed to have time to do are the helmet and the gloves. My kit is from AM Armor Masters. Helmet Pictures: Inside: So, how did I do? I'd be happy to fix what I can before I dive headfirst into the rest of my kit.
