    Yep Ab buttons are attached now

    Not much room in the biceps but I think I will trim the bells more off the edge to get them closer in and arrange my strapping better

    Good point about the lighter colour

    Thanks

    Starbuck, If you want some feedback here goes. Your chest seems to be sitting a little low. This can be fixed by shortening your shoulder straps between chest and upper back. This will make it look loads better. Your shoulders are also a little too far out, try shortening the strap or distance between the shoulder bell and the white shoulder strap this will bring them up higher and closer in to your chest. Are your biceps large on your body, coz your armour biceps seem huge. Maybe they could be reduced in circumference which would help the shoulders also sit better. Looks great though mate, and these points won't affect you're wearing or clearance, they are just pointers for more accuracy.

    Thanks Nick and LoveMonkey, agree I made different settings for the chest so will bring up.

    Did you attach the bells to the white straps? I have a separate black strap that attaches to the back plate and chest but appears to slip down causing this issues

    Wow, Guys Thanks for the positive feedback, i think it was a lot easier to make than my MG15!

    Not sure if i will build more, if there is a few people i may think about it ?? - probably cheaper to build yourself anyway

    What i suggest is to use old torch parts (police or security torch's size) as tons of people have these around and not using them as they are "not " LED

    if you need more info just ask

    Cheers

    I purchased a pack of different size containers from K-mart (not sure if you have Kmart) I think it had about 6 different sizes, these are like small cereal containers

    I looked for ones that had the angles on the side so it wouldn't look so round. I used a smaller container shell for the front visor, old torch parts, milk lids, old camera parts that I pulled apart and balsa wood

    if you need more info let me know

    cheers

    Dear Mum and Dad

    Sorry it has taken this long to reply, but i have been posted for training at the Newly completed Death Star near Tatoonie which is near the outer rim.

    Finally I past my tests and graduated last month. We have received our new Armour suits last week which they make us polish and clean everyday. If you get caught by you know who, with a dirty suit it's one week in the Garbage Room for maintenance checks under the cell blocks...LOL. glad i haven't been sent there

    We still need to do more field training but I wont know for a couple a days where that will be.

    Well I'm learning fast not to borrow my gear out, my room mate TD(has been censored) asked to borrow my new Bucket, that's a helmet for you Civ's !.. he said his was in getting repaired ! well I fell that trick....apparently they did training in the Tatoonie desert and got called out to some moisture farmers that had a Droid issues... anyway I've attached some pictures of how he returned it !

    It will take weeks to clean it !

    I'll send some updates in a week or so

    I will suggest also to paint black the inside of the helmet to avoid light refraction on the face.

    Sometimes happens that the face is fully visible through the helmet green lenses: painting the interior of the helmet in black will fix it (and You do not need to wear a balaclava) :thumbsup:

    I don't think i want to wear one in hot weather - so will put it on the list

    Cheers
