For all my fellow Canadian troops in training - I have updated my check list (on Page 1) to show the stores where I found the products, to help expedite finding your supplies north of the boarder - cheers!

If you can get me this: https://www.ebgames.ca/SearchResult/QuickSearch?q=Pop%21+Star+Wars%3A+Nien+Nunb 

 

It's a EB games exclusive and hasn't released in the US yet (Gamestop), I will thankfully send you some MTK shoulder bridges, thermal det. parts (minus brakcets), and ab buttons.

I will look into mate - and thanks for the parts offer (I may have to cash in on those later if I botch something lol). I'll PM you when I find it.

Enjoying this thread! Regarding neck seal, take a look at the seal I just put together for about $10, you may find something that helps you in your design! Happy building.

Thanks mate! I enjoyed your thread as well and actually took a quick look at the weather stripping at Home Depot yesterday.

 

Mark IV has only cost me about $20, the other ones about $15 due to the cost of the material which is much better than the $80 -$140 CAN + shipping on purchasing my own.

 

Cheers!

So does this mean you've tailored your own bodysuit? Lol. Awesome stuff! Now the waiting game...

Lol, to be honest I did not.

 

I bought a PGA compression shirt and H2H Compression Running pants from Amazon - I also want to try the ones here on FISD on the next run.

 

Hopefully tonight, barring interruptions, I can assemble my neck seal and install the zipper. Finished making the inner liner last night so pretty excited and anxious to be done with it.

 

Pictures coming soon!

 

Next will be my belt to sew together.

 

I also have to start saving for Tony's Audio TK audio assist, Echo helmet fan, Aker & iComm - these I will order when I'm getting close to completion.

 

Cheers Dan!

I got that email from Mark today as well....With my luck it will arrive 2 days after the armor party I'm headed too :rolleyes:

Here's hoping your luck will change! Thanks too as it reminded me that I should check my Garrison's forum to see when the next one is - cheers!

I don't think it's so much luck, but that I live in the boonies and stuff always takes a few more days then usual. If it does ship out at the start of next week, it might just make it. At the end of the day it's not so bad because I still have the helmet and I'm making a bunch of mods to it. It's getting soo close can't hardly wait haha.

Right then, time to share... I have finished "Mark IV". Unfortunately, it did not turn out as well as I had hoped. The zipper portion ended up being more exposed than I had anticipated when I did the test fit. None the less here was the experience on this attempt, and nothing a quick order to Trooper Bay can't fix :laugh1: . While I'm at it I'm going to order my belt too - I'm just not cut to be a S.A.R (Sew and Repair) Tech...yet.
