AM build by mechanically un-inclined newbie[*AM]

Hi J,

That will be my plan tomorrow when I take my armor to work. I'm only putting it on to get pictures and judged, then taking it off asap.

It will be my first time wearing it outside of my house. I already know my right knee battery is too low, but I already glued/riveted it on.

I'm undecided on how to fix it. I really don't want to take it all the way off and move it up. I'll probably end up cutting off more of the

"rounded corner." I hope it doesn't make it look bad. Thanks for the advice on the 1st troop. You have good info here! Jenny

I'm putting it on at work tomorrow too, so that's why I wanted to figure this out. I'll still have to ask for help with the O2 tank, but that's much easier than explaining to a coworker how to attach the shoulders and biceps.

 

I feel like my right knee battery is too low as well. I just don't like that you can see the thigh molding above it. My mind was put at ease while watching Star Wars recently because some of the troopers in the movie had it looking worse than mine. I never noticed the defects in the movie suits until I built my own. Another part I recently noticed is that you can see the black velcro on one of the trooper's thighs in the opening sequence when Leia is captured by Vader. So I guess our little issues make the suits more screen accurate!
