Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback. With SWW coming up and LOTS of travel for work (I am on the road every week in May and the beginning of June), I am probably not going to make much progress on the TD until mid-June or early July. (I will be latching the fur for my Chewbacca instead.)
Wolfman, I did get the strapping on the plate and it seems to be holding together better. Once I get back to this, I will get some better pics and make sure the straps are small enough to help with this.
As to the ears, I had someone offer me a fixed pair, so I will be taking them up on that when I get to the helmet build.
Trooper1, yup on the turning of the thighs. I should have commented that I was just holding them so we could size them on my actual thighs. But thanks for the feedback on the join.
Kevin
