Thanks Paul. I am going to try to finish the last things left for elite status this weekend. There is always the option of repainting it. It can be done. I am not going to repaint my armor though the color difference between my FX armor and my TE2 helmet are not that bad. I am going to pick up another set of armor down the line so I might have to worry about that a little later down the road. No worries for right now though. It was great talking to you at Wondercon Don and was very nice to meet you and your son. Trooper families are so awesome! The ab buttons are definitely an improvement.

Welcome to the Forum Jon! Have fun putting together that armor and make sure to take your time and ask as many questions of us here as you need to. Thats what this place is for. Again welcome to the FISD.

Thanks Chris! The VaderDave buttons look very nice and does give the suit a snazzier look! I think your armor is a little more bluish white than my FX armor. Its beautiful armor and I would be scared to paint it as well. I don't think it is really going to matter the color difference. It wouldn't look bad if you painted the whole thing to match either though.

Thanks. Congrats on going Elite. I plan on being there by the end of the month.

Well I have some updates to my armor and thought I would post up some pics. I have been under the weather lately and haven't posted as much as I would like to. Updates include: new TE2 helmet and new AB buttons (Thanks VaderDave). ----------

Awesome story! You are one cool uncle!

Looking great Chris!

Nice armor Chris!

Hopefully tomorrow.

Did it come today Chris?

I have foam padding in both of my buckets I never liked the way the hard hat liner felt so I switched to foam.

Looking real good!

Very cool!

Make sure to post up some pics when you get it!

She was at Wondercon a couple of weeks ago. Should be a lot of fun!

Very nice find.

Very cool reward! Working on getting my suit to elite standards, hopefully by the end of March. I have to close the side gap, get or make a canvas belt, separate the kidney and butt pieces, add D-ring to my E-11, and mount the holster correctly. Not very much left!

Happy Birthday Mike! Hope you have a great one. Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials that you have posted! Good to see you posting more Tony! Hope you are feeling better.

Nice.

Nice display, turned out very nicely.

Its coming together nicely.

Nice looking armor!
