are the calves still avail??

alright its been way way way to long since i updated you guys on my build, but most of its done, had to hurry and finish up the helmet for this weekend, here are some pictures!! one of them is not safe for kids...

i had a guy in my squadron that was short and hairy enough to of pulled off being an ewok...

is that like "turning japanese"??

Alright guys... i know how much you missed me with all the fan mail i got while i was gone(which was none /cry) but i am now back and looking to get to work on my armor!! damn i need to get it done!!

Alright well, sadly this will have to be put on hold as I will be deploying tomorrow... for only 2 months. but when i get back I have spoken with the Dewback Garrison commander and he said that i could bring it up to ABQ and get a bunch of the guys/girls to help out and knock it out in like a day tops! so looks like in Feb ill be good to go!!

they are being cut to where they are marked at right now.

updated pictures... see above pls

Post saved for pictures Alright i know this is kind of like a teaser... right now I am working on my biceps, got one of them finished working on the second one right now. I will be working on the calf and thighs tonight aswell, hopefully ill be able to supply pictures in a few hours... stay tuned, we will be back after these messages from our sponsors (lol) Alright, sorry about the extended commercial break, there are you pictures i promised you. working on getting the fitting of the chest and back piece, had a question... how do you guys have your chest/back pieces connected? is it just the straps at the top or do you have anything for the sides as well??

Has anyone had troubles with the AM biceps? They dont seem to match up, has anyone had problems with that before?

And yes Matt, you are correct! it is an AM kit!! did you cut it at an angle at all matt? so it looks cleaner on the wrist end i mean. I think i may just put on a semi thick shirt to simulate the underarmour and gloves... unless i have some random flightgloves just lying around here(i have lots of pairs already... just tan and green i think though) The reason i ask about the wrist end is cause on mine i seem to have a bunch more space than i should Edit: found a random underarmour shirt in my room... and gloves... its fitting pretty damn nice! though i may have to trim the upper/inner... you know the part where you bend your arm?

Well ive had my kit for a little over 2 days now and have finally been able to do little to it. figured i would start with the forearms as i have heard they are the easiest to do so thats where i started at. dont have everything here yet so i have just been cutting it and making sure it fits so far... here is where i am at so far. please let me know if you noticed something off about it... besides the blue painters tape(lol)

what exactly is a "finishing strip"?
