I know the butt/thigh overlap could be improved, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how this turned out! This build has been almost two years in the making, and kept my mind busy during my cancer treatment and quarantine... It's not 100% finished and I'll be making a few more small upgrades and cleaning up tiny details, but I think it's finally ready for submission. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking! :)

Nice work again trooper, you should be right for basic approval but I would certainly address that butt/thigh gap.

Thank you! Ugh, those photos are only there to show the side connectors under the arm, so I didn't retake them... but I "fixed" it for you!

@TheRascalKing So almost a year after your original post ;-)

 

I have recieved my Jimmy kit about 6-7 weeks ago and am now in the final stages before painting, your pictures helped a lot to figure out how to do the strapping. Thank you very much

 

My main question was, if you had to trim any of Jimmis armor pieces because they where to long, or did everything fit out of the box?

I'm 184cm tall and weigh about 85kg, so very close to the measurments you mentioned. And I'm not completly sure If I should go ahead and cut down on some pieces.

 

Would love to hear your feedback on this

 

Also after 1 year of owning your TK, would have done anything differently?

 

Take care and stay safe

Hey Jan - some great questions and I'm happy to help.

 

You'll find several of those answers (and pictures) specifically on page 6 of my thread! I did need to trim the top of the thighs significantly, and I split them down the back and overlapped the pieces as well, to size them down. I also cut a decent amount off of the cod, posterior, and from the top of the barrel. Unfortunately, I didn't figure out the necessity for most of this until after I had started paint, but would definitely recommend doing temporary strapping (or masking it off) and test fitting thoroughly before final paint. While my strapping is in no way screen accurate, it's very functional and pretty comfortable.

 

Most of the stuff I would do differently has to do with paint - the big things I'd say to be aware of are that you want to try not to sand the raw fiberglass, since it opens up tiny bubbles/pinholes. Do a thorough wash with a scuff pad and soap, add any extra resin you want to do, and then use a decent coat of flexible primer, sanding only into that. I also would not use a separate clear coat again for the whole armor. On my FOTK (other thread in my link, where I also address some of those issues I learned) I'll still be using a 2K (2 part) paint, but a gloss white. It should make it easier to spray, and to repair, while still looking good. Happy to answer any other questions you have and good luck!

AMAZING JOB!!!! I haven't seen this one in person yet!

 

I appreciate it, Bender. It was a way more difficult build than any of my ANH style, but worth it! I wore it for like 2 troops and unfortunately cracked my chest plate when bending over to pick something up, so I need to do some repairs and upgrades to get it back online and to L3. I'll get around to it and have it out trooping this year.
