Nice one Mark

Looking well good Matt. Well done mate

No worries Here's the front for reference.

There are three straps, you just can't see the last one in the photo you posted.

Three straps on the movie suits.

Very Nice indeed karin! Have you scaled them off the Sterling? To be 'the most accurate' they would have to be made from latex, so make sure you make mine in latex

Loving the finish on this one Mark. The yellowing and weathering look excellent too Pete!

I made the bubble lenses from 3mm green perspex.

That's the way to do it I prefer 2" black elastic. I don't recommend using webbing anywhere on your armour, it's too restrictive and not screen accurate. If you find your elastic straps are sliding along your leather belt, simply add a snap or two to the belt and the strap to keep it in place

Excellent job on the build Steve The photos look superb mate, well done!

You don't need to do any excersizes to lose weight Nathan and you can lose weight while you sleep believe it or not. When I was 210 lbs a few years back I started the Atkins diet and and got down to 180 in about a month with no problems. I kind of made my own diet based on the Atkins and drank lots of water, no tea or coffee, cut out bread and potato completely, and only ate fish or chicken for meals with plenty of vegetables and fruit. It's really simple when you look into it. Keep it simple, just eat natural food, anything man made is not good for you. Fruit, meat, fish, vegetables and water. If you don't want to work up a sweat with hard excersizes, wear a plastic bin liner under your sweatshirt (against your skin) and go for a walk. Make sure you are hydrated (you should be drinking plenty of water every day) and watch the weight drop off you. This all worked for me and I had no trouble losing the weight. I work in the building industry and it is hard graft, so that could have worked the weight off of me more than usual, but I didn't do any excersizes during my weight loss diet. HTH's!

Thank you for your very kind words It's a pleasure being able to help and share info when I can

I have photos of several canisters and the 'capsules' on the block all differ in shape. It's as though the mould deteriorated as they pulled the armour because some of the capsules look realy thin and pronounced, while the one above looks thicker and some I have seen are almost flat.

........

Canister tubes is 7.5" long and the strip with the lines on it is 3" long. HTH's

When I fit 'S' trim, I put it onot the bottom of the helmet and cut it 10mm longer then force it on and it stays in place on it's own. If you are having trouble with it coming off, run a bead of E6000 in the channel of the trim and fit it to your helmet and clamp it inplace with small clips until it dries. If anyone needs and 'S' trim like this below, PM me

Great work Keith I'm looking forward to seeing this finished.

Whoever is making these should have left the moulds alone. They looked better before they were over sharpened <_<

Not TM......DA?

Try Loake, Jones or Tyrwhitt for black chelsea boots on ebay UK. Those are the best looking IMO.

I like it Dan There's no backing out now mate. You'll have to do the rest of the armour now Can you tell us what you used to get the weathering effect so far?

Yeah, now we're talking! You don't have to go crazy with the weathering, something like this guy on the left would be perfect.

Okay, I'll take some of the credit then I know the armour would look really old if you gave it the same treatment as the helmet, that's what I like personally. But I guess it has to look good for trooping so best to let it weather naturally. I think if you added a pair of your latex hand plates though, it would look even more awesome

Nice one Dan! I really like the weathering you did, evry nice. You should do the same thing to your armour I like this shot. Screams ANH to me. No undersuit showing, bells tucked inside the chest, just awesome
