Working on fitment of helmet.
-
@gmrhodes13 thank you! Makes me feel much more confident with this. I'll be doing strapping so no worries. Thanks again.
-
Question on my WTF kit. The kidney and posterior are molded as one piece tha/ needs to be seperated. This leaves very small return edges in these areas. I see this has been discussed, but looking for tips/suggestions on how to best manage this.
-
Backplate trimmed
-
Thighs glued and dry. Will work on filling in gaps at lower end.
-
Gluing up shins
-
Finishing up thighs
-
Arm assembly complete (minus strapping)
-
Looking for feedback on arm fitting. Forearm just taped for fitting at this point. No strapping installed yet. Thanks!
-
@justjoseph63 thank you! I wasn't sure about inside strips, but will take your suggestion and add them. Really appreciate the feedback!
-
Right bicep completed. Am starting to move along faster now that I have some cutting and trimming in my toolbox!
-
@justjoseph63 Thanks for the input. There is a pretty large gap on the sides (you can kind of see it on my rear-view pic), but I think it is OK after looking at the pic you provided. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but had a question on neck seal. Purchase# from Imperial Boots. Not sure if fit is OK, seems large. Since it is a zippered type I don't see an easy way to adjust.
-
First part glued. First time using E6000, so will take GMRhodes13's advice and let it sit for a couple of days.
-
Fitting arm parts (thigh snuck in there for a photo-bomb)
-
@justjoseph63awesome, what I was looking for. Thanks!
-
I have a question on trimming parts for cover strips and fitting. With the WTF kit, there are the raised sections for the cover strips (Blue areas). Do I trim these to fit for cover strips, and use only the Yellow area to trim for fitting?
-
@gmrhodes13thanks, will definitely use that. Also, thank you for the return edge link. Just what I needed!
-
Starting the trimming of the forearms. Once the trimming is done, I'll start fitting and assembly the biceps and forearms. I promised my wife I would start on mine and learn the process (AKA make all the mistakes) before starting hers!
-
@justjoseph63 Thanks for the recomendation. I've seen conflicting thoughts on the Bicep's return edges. Makes sense about comfort when trooping. Thanks again!
-
Got through the first cut. Starting on biceps (obviously!)
-
The builds begins. I actually have two TKs to build; one for me, one for the wife! (The family that troops together...). Armor from Walt's Trooper Factor. So far very pleased with the kit. Very sturdy.
