  5. Thanks for the advice, Mario. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks Gerald. Sadly it’s not E6000. And for a commission build it makes sense to have something more permanent since they’re pros. And, because they’re pros, why would you normally want to adjust it? [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I don’t think it looks ridiculous. I’ve seen many troopers with this kind of shape. And I think I could pull off the look with elbow pads beneath my undersuit to round out the look. But I would rather slim it down to fit me better. My current plan is to slice off the rear cover strips and the meat underneath, close up the gaps and reapply the cover strips. While this will result in double-thickness strips, they’re currently the same thickness as the rest of the armour so I think I can get away with it. My WTF strips are thicker – unvacformed and unstretched. And I’m happy with the look of those.
  8. As I posted in the FISD Facebook group this week, I had the amazing good fortune to have a very generous friend who’s donated his brand-new, worn-once, RS full commission Hero build so long as it goes to making sick kids happy. Well, as soon as I can get it approved it’s going to do just that. Here’s the thing: Vertically, it’s perfect. Where it was a tiny bit long for him, it’s spot on for me. But he’s more buff and I'm more skinny. So, horizontally, it’s not ideal! RS Hero armour with Luke-style chest plate. If you look at my elbows you can see how oversized it is. For comparison: (L) Existing WTF Stunt trimmed to be very form-fitting; (R) New RS Hero
  9. Just hit my first milestone. Now in double figures.

  13. Welcome to FISD, Abi. Your armour looks nice. Hope you’ll be trooping soon. One question about your cover strips. Not entirely clear from the photos but it looks like the angles haven’t been cut at 45° or rounded off, like here on the RS suit:
