its not digging into my shoulder and neck anymore

thanks alot for advice on the chest and back.i trimmed mine down more and big difference.feels way better.

dope job i was just thinking about how to cover the 2 holes for now.

now that was some great reading in that thread.but i hear some say its ok for basic.i am going to be getting new belt and doing it all just didnt want to get hung up on it right this instance while i still have more to do on my own kit.great links.

ohh nevermind just found this.think i will stick to stunt.haha.

looking at reference photos of hero seems most work would be in the helmet specifically.tightening up the frown and touch up painting on my vocoder.not sure if those are black lenses or really dark green either onn the hero.

yea the drop boxes arent glued or nothing into place so can slide over.im trying to think if i should leave this belt alone for hero and start a whole new one from beginning with new belt.or try and go for hero.i know hero id have to fill in one of the gaps on teeth so theres 6 openings if im correct.im going to look into it more.kinda at a crossroads i guess.do you have any suggestions for filling the top 2 holes?

i also noticed this.this was a previously attempted kit so the guy did the belt.i noticed the 2 holes.i was planning on buying a new belt anyways but do i have to buy a whole new belt plate as well? our are these easilt taken apart?

thinking i have to go a little higher

hows this look?

whats that oakland?

i seen that as well.but i was thinking that was only the back thigh.the photos i was looking at ammo belt was covering it so i wasnt sure.dang it.thanks for the heads up.i will peel and trim this one back as well.

so heres a thigh i did.im peeling off the back of the thigh because it wasnt held tightly enough.i finally got some better magnets in so should help alot.once i redo thigh im going to start trimming that back piece while the thigh is drying.

or build a warehouse to store them and create a super cave.

thanks alot.im going to trim it in a little more at least.

Even if I trimmed to no return edge it would still be wider then the front.

check these back piece straps out.they are wider then the chest ones.is that normal? because it doesnt seem so.and i started trimming a little more off but i dont want to lose the return edge on them.what should i do?

ok i will add that to my wish list.and start reasearching for good quality ones that i dont have to work on much.

Ok more magnets finally came.my laptop black screened so I have to figure out a way to add pics without it.and some padding for inside bucket.also quick question do I have to have a holster? I do not own a e11 currently.

I was just trying to figure out how I could cut the eyes and this helped.

holyyyyyy mollyyyyyyyy where do you store all these kits.must have a whole room dedicated to them at least.

man im really proud of myself.im learning a bunch of new stuff thanks to all you helpful troopers.i allready feel great knowing the things i accomplished so far.and look forward to all the little things i do to help me fine tune it and perfect it in any way.im very grateful to found out about this whole journey.thank you 501st.

Oh my god that's some good news because I was trying my hardest to pop the ends off right now and they stuck like chuck.i even did the air hole trick still stuck on there really good.im gonna put it together.thanks alot.
