    I think your ears could use a little bit more taken off in terms of their overall thickness. The reference photos posted by Mario can be used to compare. It's possible some of it is phone camera distortion, but I am thinking you could remove a few mms of thickness under the main ear section.

    Yeah that’s what I was thinking, too.  Just being super cautious about it.

    Everything's been properly labeled as L or R, and I've rough trimmed one and a half shins (pics tomorrow, getting tired).  The second shin has been going much more smoothly and quickly than the first one as I gain confidence.  Going to have a fun and busy weekend trimming and gluing.  Having read all the build posts, studied all the photos, and watched videos numerous times has really helped me be positive and jump right in.

    So BBB Day has finally arrived, and I'm beyond ecstatic! I'm not even scared about my first cut...yet lol.

    Before I make any cuts, I'm going to mark L and R pieces with my painters tape, as they were packed in the box in a definite order and I laid them out on the floor following that.  And I'll practice on the hand guards first (as I bought  silicon guards from Trooperbay).  The beauty part is that an extra set of ears was included so I don't feel quite as daunted about messing one of those up (which in all my reading appears to be one of the most difficult parts to do).

     

    The only things left outstanding to get are a belt (which I might just make myself), holster, and an E-11 (since I'm going for Centurion).  I have plenty to keep me busy for now.

     

    Looking forward to sharing my progress as it goes!

    Thanks everyone!  The kind welcome and friend advice definitely makes me feel right at home here.

     

    Also nice to get some love from fellow Canadians (I was born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, ON just happen to live in Oregon now).

     

    Got word that my kit will be shipping today, so that build thread will be started soon.  It's like I've seen others say, it's like waiting for Christmas!

    Super long time lurker, but I finally took the plunge and ordered an MTK set.  Can't wait for BBB Day and getting started!  Been in love with Stormtroopers since 1977.

     

    I've read so much and watched so many videos I feel like I'm ready and can't wait!  Will be shooting for Centurion.
