just checked my pics and im looking at the CRL too, my helmet seems to be the ANH

Makes so much cents its $1.20 Id rather match the helmet than work to match the gloves, i will go through the CRL again to make sure its up to date. the next hurdle will be getting bigger boots as the ones i originally ordered are a bit too small

Time for an update, after managing to get the armour into work for may the 4th and with my wedding less than 2 months out i have had a chance to look at my armour (finally) I'll be picking up some compression gear this week and will test fit pieces. I am wondering how best to trim or fit to my shape? have messaged my local garrison on fb but haven't received a reply as yet. There are some pieces that I feel are a bit too big and mainly the arm and legs pieces are restricting movement. Lastly i am looking at ways to keep the thigh pieces in place, they have elastic straps at the front I'm wondering if these should be attached to anything in particular.

Seems im in need of a new under suit as mine has ripped will look into options but any recommendations would be appreciated. I have a bit of trimming to do and need to sort a way of getting the thigh pieces to stay up but getting closer to submitting for approval, then i can focus on some more 3d printing of blasters.

It came with the rubber guards you have pictured just need to look at what gloves to use.

It came with these gloves and plain rubber gloves. I'm going for anh.

Yeah cos of the fitment I had to get my partner to help me put it on and the pieces for the legs are not correct. The snaps for the belt were not playing well and the boots being 2 sizes too small meant I had lost patience lol. But thanks for the tips it's a starting point just need to stay focused and not start a mando or 3d print an r2 d2 till this is done.

Was a rush to put on and the legs are on the wrong side I worked out after I took it all off lol.

Thanks I have updated my intro thread as well. I'm keen to get some photos uploaded to get ready for approval.

Can't upload from my phone pictures are too big

It's here! Boxes turned up. Very quick test fit and have worked out areas I need to trim to fit but so happy it's finally here

Update the boxes have left LA, hoping they arrive in AUS this week,though i will most likely get a nice letter from customs to pay import taxes quietly hoping i will have it for may the 4th.

Is a pre built commission build so when it arrives I'll get to taking pictures. Slowly getting my head around the different forums.

Been a bit of a wait but the 2 big brown boxes are ready for shipping, they only have to go about 9500 miles to get here. Was hoping someone could help me by listing the steps to take now regarding approvals and the next steps?

I got a commission build. Made the last payment (AUD to USD killed me) and the 2 big brown boxes should be on their way soon.

Just after some advice am wondering if anyone has had luck getting in contact with daves darkside depot recently? I placed an order a fair while ago and havnt heard anything back ?

Bit of an update still awaiting my big brown box but have been in contact with the builder in the US and am looking forward to hopefully getting it by the end of the year.

Finally got some time to print off a few more bits of my e11. Been hoarding parts for my motorbikes so thought it get the 3d printer earning its keep again.

Aaaaaand deposit paid for the armour still a few months away due to back log but still excited none the less.

thanks to sskunky for replying to me i seem to be too big #chunky for cfo the search continues

thanks for the warm welcome everyone, have officially messaged cfo on Facebook and await a response

Hi everyone, my names piers just starting out on my journey to eventually joining the 501st. I have joined up to my local garrison here in Australia and have been doing a bunch of research which has led to a rabbit hole of information. My aim is to have ROTJ armour still trying to work out what would work for me 6" and 110kg . Is there a strict procedure in contacting a builder? i have one in mind but they are based in the US so any advice would be appreciated.
