Wow was I wrong, I started this in June of 2021... damn it has been 5+ years... So close, a couple more tweaks and off the GML.

I knew a couple of these after I took the pictures. I actually ripped the boxes off and replaced did them. My GML said the same thing lengthening the straps, I am working on that tonight, and it will help with the armor over the pouch strips. The pouches was a mix up on my son's fault, he stuck the on wrong and I didn't see it until we took pictures LOL... But, I'm happy I'm working on little fixes at this point...

Well it isn't perfect, but it is getting there. A few more tweaks, and should be good, hopefully...

I've had this build happening for 2+ years, and I'm trying to wrap it up. I also have a Shadow Trooper that is 90% done, just need to do the strapping. I'm trying to get these teo done and out of the way so I can get R1TK started and have room in my work shop for when my Vader parts start arriving.

Do you think this might work? https://a.co/d/6DR8cHG

So I'm so close to a full suit up, finally. I only have one more piece I need. Where do you get the belt clips for the TD?

Things are moving along. @ChrisThePropGuy made it right with the helmet, but we had an issue with shipping. The resin bolts for the helmet sheared off, so now I'm trying to figure out how to fix that, and how to put the lenses in. And while I have the majority of the trimming done, I think I messed up the tank, as there isn't much room for the tank topper and still haven't figured out how to do the holster. But I'm a whole lot closer than I was.

More progress is being made on this kit. I'm building it and my new TK at the same time, so, yay me! Question, the raised part on the front the thigh. Is is a certain width for Level 1? This kit is a bit small in my opinion, and I feel like I'm having to leave a lot of the extra plastic on it to fit around my thighs. Here is a picture of the right one. I also have the shins, forearms and biceps done, minus cover strips.

So my armor from CTPG showed up today. Everything looks about right, except the helmet. I think this is a bad pull. The left side has a huge gap. thoughts?

The forearms as done (except cover strips). So time to move on to the biceps. Question for masses, return edges, are need needed on the biceps, or forearms? On the TK we remove them, and it is required to remove them for the the front of the forearm (wrist area) for our Level 2 approvals.

Well, I'm waiting on my hard armor and boots for my Shadow Scout, so I acquired a Shadow Trooper and figured I'd start working on it while I'm waiting to finish my Scout. Helmet is almost done, needs some paint and I ordered some @ukswrath hovi tip speakers for it, but didn't realize I needed and amp for it, so that is next. I'm working on the forearms, but I don't know the maker of this kit, so I'm trying to figure out which is left and which is right.

One step closer. Waiting on boots.

As someone who is building this kit currently, just for the sake of simplicity, I would consider following the Pathies down this rabbit hole. Mostly just because I and others that I know have used the build threads on their detachment to help build their kits, and having two Detachments with the same "style" of helmet but one allowing a specific version and the other not, might cause some confusion on the builder's end.

Thanks Jordan!

Ordered my soft goods from CB Props during his New Years sale. They arrived yesterday and I think they look pretty good. Still need to attach the cod, and put something in the pouches to fill them. Trooping GalaxyCon Richmond all weekend, so hopefully next weekend I can work on the armor. Still looking to source boot and gloves. But getting closer.
