Was down for me yesterday evening and all night (working the overnight shift, trying to watch build threads to stay entertained)...  Did the dnsflush, all that fun stuff.

 

Hopefully it stays up tonight!

The current to-do-list for drumstrooper (Jay).

 

1. Attach snaps to chest plate.

2. Attach biceps and shoulder bells to shoulder straps.

3. Attach holster to belt (holster coming from Vern).

4. Attach bicep hooks.

5. Final trimmings to biceps, forearms, thighs, back plate, and chest plate

6. Shop for Centurion blaster.   Hasbro or conversion are not accepted.

Looking good.  The attention to detail is fantastic and it will be great to see this done.  Troopers Helping Troopers, indeed :)

 

The TFA will certainly be wanting for a team approach..."It will not be easy".

Sorry this build didn't have too much work in progress photos.    I really needed to concentrate on getting his armor to fit him properly.  

After two sessions (11 hours each), we finally got Jay's application photos done.

From the beginning, I told Jay we are going straight for a Centurion build. His hard work and dedication to this project showed a lot of heart.<br><br>
Things to acquire and work on in the meantime:<br><br>
1. Centurion blaster (he currently has a Hasbro / Doopy Doo conversion kit). He's using my blaster for the picture above.<br>
2. White latex hand plates<br>
3. Fix the j-holders for the biceps.<br>
4. Fix more armor pinches.<br>
5. Helmet fan system.<br>
6. Mic system.<br>
7. Eliminate butt flapping action.<br>
8. He really needs to be a storage / travel bin. He's been coming over my shop with cardboard boxes! hahahah!<br>
9. Proper neck seal. My wife will be making one for Jay.<br>
10. Helmet bag ( in-progress now ).<br>
11. Paint knee ammo rivet white.

12. Improve the elastic strap between the biceps and forearms.

Thank you Daetrin!   It was a honor to help Jay on this build.

And yes, TFA team builds will be popular in the coming months.

 

 

And if Gazmosis is watching..... Hey brother Steve!!!!    I got one TK coming your way after he meets basic approval!!!

Incredible showing of what it means to have a team effort. The passion, enthusiasm, and mentoring truly shows in this and other team builds that you are doing Walter. I am proud to share the same garrison with you.

Very nice work! The armor fits like a glove.

 

The only thing i would improve is the strapping between the biceps and forearms. I would shorten it until the top of the forearm touches the bottom of the biceps. Right now the strap serves nothing, and we can notice it flapping loose.
