TheKido Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You have a lovely journey in front of you, the first set is always something extra With that said my greatest advice would be to take your time and measure twice. Also if there is a problem don't hesitate to ask us here Good luck with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inglorious trooper Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 hey chris, glad to hear you have your armour,well done mate,you wont regret coming here for all your sandy advice! i would say the easiest parts to start with are the shoulder bells,biceps and forearms. i allow myself around a 5mm overhang on each part when trimming it,the only part that has no overhang are at the bottom of your forearms where your hands go through! your more than welcome to post as many pics as you want to,we love to see troopers work in progress! as has already been stated keep researching as you do it,the search button at the top of the page is your friend. youll be lucky to ask a questoin that hasnt already been answered at some time! but that doesnt mean you cant ask again,dont do anything unless you feel confident with it, thats why were here, good luck with your build,but most of all,ENJOY IT! all the best I.T. P.S. try not to start with the helmet,many troopers do this as its the first part you want to see done, but in my opinion is the hardest!

SMOKE Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Cutting the ears was a challenge for me. I am with Marcus, save the helmet for last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi Chris, I have just completed mine & am about to weather it. You will find some photos of my armor in the NE Armor thread & my Almost Finished thread here on the forums. I actually found the legs to be easier to start with a the forearms are a bit of a mongrel to get right. As everyone else has said measure twice & cut once, you will get plenty of help here when you need it. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
