HardHitDrummer Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 ok, I'm well into my AM build, I took lots of pictures and I finally got them on flickr so you can check it out. Let me know if you see something I screwed up...I tried to follow all the great threads (panda's, stuka's,tkrestonva's,Rich's)God bless them all ! I'm waiting on my TK Boots (still on back order) so I can finish my calve pieces . I didnt want to trim and fit without having the boots on. I ordered a TM lid (I know I'm stoked ) as I got the AM "lite" kit. Also waiting on my paint to come in so I can finish the ab buttons. here is the link... http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikestrooperbuilds I hope it works as this is my first time using and posting pics this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardHitDrummer Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Congrats to you ! It's been a fun build so far , just waiting on some materials and a few missing parts . Good luck on finishing your straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looking good so far - and it's nice to see more and more people doing their AM build using butt seams & joining strips. AM is a pretty versatile kit, and can be built in ways to suit different needs and tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the AM kit because of it's versatility . I'm trying to incorporate some of the little techniques I learned here from you guys . I'm gonna try and weather it alittle with the news paper like was showed by Pete and Paul to help make it more screen accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardHitDrummer Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ok I got the heads up that my TM bucket is on the way I cant wait !!!! I hope the boots will be in this week as I had heard they will be. The armor is completed minus the back of shins till I can do the last fit when I have the boots on.

HardHitDrummer Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wow its been a while ! I finally finished my armor. The cherry on the cake, my TM helmet ! Here is my photo "first test fit" . Let me first say I was so excited to get my first test fit that I forgot to put on my o2 canister, and after I wanted some shots of my HWT gear that I had so far, I put my pouldron on the wrong side ! Since these are just test fit pics I wont be too hard on myself..... it was my first time Anyway, I hope you can just get the idea of what I'm trying to do . Let me know if there is something out of whack . I will retake some shots to submit with my application to the 501st. I had a great time taking these shots and next time I'll make sure I have my gear on properly Thanks again everyone for your never ending help !

Eric Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 suit looks great. congrats on the build. should be an easy pass for the 501st. your calves look like they might could use some adjustment, i'm not sure. just look a lil off. could just be me though. all in all, looks fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper[TK] Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Looking good! I'm sure on your second fitting you'll get everything adjusted and fitting correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardHitDrummer Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks guys, it means the world hearing it from the masters ! Yeah I thought the calf pieces were the hardest parts of the am build, I was so bummed when I saw the pics ! I'll have it together next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax407[TK] Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Looks great, I can't wait to see that TM bucket in person. Isn't your pauldron on the wrong shoulder though? I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's an easy fix. Edit: Oops, just read your post. Disregard my last comment. Move along, move along.

Eric Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yeah I thought the calf pieces were the hardest parts of the am build, they can be tricky for people. me and many others initially had them on the wrong leg, or the inside part on the outside, or just not right one way or another. haha. all part of the fun.
