LePage super glue. A thin bead around perimeter of the hand guard. And make sure it's placed right. Dries fast

Don't forget rare earth magnets. You will find they are extremly helpful when clamping longer pieces and a clamp just won't reach.

I'm about ready to start putting pieces together permanently. I had a page tagged somewhere that I now can't find the detailed what snaps/clips/split rivits etc to use where along with what size strapping/elastic to use and where. I have 1 1/2" woven ribbed elastic for the shoulders. I was wondering if sombody could let me know a good spot to get this info. I am aiming for SWAT right out of the gate to do I don't have to make many changes down the road.
Currently also waiting for for my shipment to come from trooper bay with some goodies and I'm expecting my boots from imperial boots this week or early next week.

An FYI. I just received my AP kit on Friday. It was estimated 6 week wait. It was exactly 4 weeks. Communication was excellent. I paid initial deposit, a few days later, I got an email that they recieved the material. 2 weeks later I got am email stating it was ready. ( trimmed kits would be a little bit longer. Mine was untrimed ) I paid remainder and a couple days later I received the tracking # then it showed up at the house. Top notch service all the way.

My "Big Brown Box" arrived yesterday from Authentic Props and im ready to begin my journey into construction of my own Sandtrooper. hopfully im in the right spot for documenting the build. I will have lots of questions and I would rather ask 3 times than make 1 catastrophic mistake.

Found my measurements. Got my chest and back, bells and biceps done. I now am takling forearms. I am having an issue with size. Is it acceptable to have 1 joint closed with velcro? Or do they both HAVE to be glued. The reason I'm asking is because in order for me to make it so I can slide it on, the wrist opening is huge. Then I have the problem of the elbow end really tight on my arm. I may be able to tear them apart and taper the joint more to give more room, but I'd like to know about the velcro first before I do this.
