Thanks for the tip on the thighs Wags. I thought they looked a little high. There is plenty of room on the inner thigh for my boys, but the front ridge needs a bigger gap between the cod piece.

As for what version ... a grunt. We have plenty of officers and need some bodies to fill in the ranks. :D

I have been planning on making a EP3 501st grunt, but the EP2 white grunt is really growing on me.

Here is my latest fit up pic. I wanted to get the knees on before I adjusted the thighs. I'll end up taking a little off of the bottom of the thighs and then lowering them down, so that there is a bigger gap between the thigh and the cod.

I worked on the shins / calves the last couple of nights, so I should have those finised soon.

I got the legs mostly sized up, but I need to make a few tweeks to get it fitting just right. I think I need to take a little off of the bottom of the thighs to stop the armor from catching on the knee strap and also gain a little more mobility.

Looks awesome. Was planning on building a Stormtrooper soon but maybe I should think about a Clone. I don't think I could touch that though. Can you PM me on the info where you got your armor.

Pending Ripcode's (and the LMO's) approval, the GLG will have a new 501st Grunt in the ranks.

Looks awesome! :thumbs: Total armor envy when I saw you on Saturday! :wink:

Tony needs to get to work (and I think I need some more new OSCS parts to replace what I already have...) Yep...I'm not even done with the first costume yet and I'm already wanting to upgrade! LOL!!
