Looks like Christmas will be early this year!! Amazing work!

Outstanding brother!!

Good to see you Jim, That's awesome the original held up so long!! I might slip on over to update that thread. Got some new stuff on her kit and one of my own now

It's sooo good to be back here with my specops peeps! I missed you guys. So if you don't know me which you probably don't I did two Nova troopers back in the day and even got the honor if being the first Elite Nova Specialist and the Elite Nova in the CRL's. My very first 501st costume happened right here in SpecOps and even though I've done a half dozen others since then, my heart has always belonged here. This forum community has a special sort of camaraderie that I have never seen anywhere else in the 501st. OK all tears and handshakes aside this thread is being set aside for my next project TFA Flametrooper. I had no idea SpecOps would be getting the flametrooper over the other attachments but the second I saw it I knew I had to build it. The fact that it is part of this det only makes the pot sweeter. I will update when I get something going but until then I'm just glad to be an active part of this awesome community once again!

Van'sa returns!! I've been slowly working on my wife's armor and just recently purchased a new helmet for her kit. She will be a Twi'lek Mando very soon as I have also got a set of lekku on tap from none other then Twi'lek Pam! Here'e the new lid so far as well as a shot of her rockin' the new Verpine Sniper Rifle. I have also decided to take the plunge myself and have been quietly working on a Legacy mandalorian of my own. Thread coming soon...

Looking damn good brother!!

My two cents... I used metal snips. They cut through the plastic like butter. the only issue I had initially was jaggys on the cuts. After the cut was made I would use my dremel to sand smooth the jaggies. The friction would create enough heat to fuse the micro-splits in the plastic on the edge so there would be no future durability issues and also crated nice clean lines. Good luck and Congrats on the Big Brown Box

Yes do tell.

Shoulder pouch looks perfect to me The belt pouch could maybe be a bit lower but I think that's just personal preference and the way you've got it seems totally acceptable so again

Lookin' sharp my friend

Fer sure just gotta get some tickets been procrastinating... I'll be in my Empy most likely and she'll be rocking the FemMando as her Bo Katan is out getting molded for mass production right now

Ha! that's me and my wifey at Wondercon Anaheim. Already moved on from the tusken though... Someday I'm gonna have ta stick with a costume for longer than six months
