Okay, finally took some pics here. Any criticism would be much appreciated. I haven't gotten the top 'armor' cut and attached yet, and also could use some advice on how to secure that and keep the shoes tight. I bought some elastic but lack inspiration on how to rig it up. http://i988.photobucket.co...

Thanks for all the support here it means a lot .
Aiming to have some concrete progress here to post soonish.
Need to play around a little more with the shoes here and will need some constructive criticism.

<<Slacker Progress>> Well, I'm a horrible procrastinator here...moved out of the 'rent's house and such so haven't had much time to devote to my build. Plus, can't really do the hard work here at the apartment. Still, I'm been wanting to start this back so here I am again. Got started on my shoes, g...

Yeh, I've been really putting this off here but I do have some progress to state. Bucket: Re-patched a spot on the cheek, needs to be re-primed and it should be golden. Armor: With help from Wags, all pieces have been trimmed down to the point where they're ready for fitting. Only piece that's set t...

Well, I've got an update. Finished with the initial trimming here and laid out the armor for a couple of pics.

Well, I suppose I can officially start up a build thread and going for the 327th. The reason for the thread, I received a large box of OSCS armor yesterday :D Already started trimming, have the bells, hands, cod, one elbow and one bicep. Also, I think I'm probably going to start priming the bucket t...

Heh, been looking at replica mausers trying to judge how much it would be to make an ANH blaster...

Well, I'm sure those younglings deserved it but yeh, I'm thinking I'm going to go 327th. Just got to start getting the armor and such. Any recommendations on a shoulder pauldron?

Well, that's the other question. Right now it's a debate between 501st or the 327th. 327th has some nifty stuff and looks nice, but the 501st is pretty cool too. going to have to make the decision soonish I suppose.

Alright, well I sorta stopped slacking around here and actually got around to cutting and cleaning up the bucket. http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af5/syntax3rror316/Bucket%20Pics/th_DSCN0379.jpg Cleaned up things and bondo'd the holes here and there. Just ran into a minor problem. http://i988.pho...

So, I suppose the big question is...will you be able to make the Chewie roar?

Sure thing, pm sent

Nope, actually got a hold of a Java.

Well, guess what I got in the mail last friday

Ooo, karaoke, sounds like fun

heh, never thought this topic would have sparked such an interesting conversation...lol

Haha, yeh. I sorta had the same hangup originally, but it just seems more natural than saying helmet I suppose. Makes you feel cooler.

Wags, PM on the way. Thank you for the help.

Heh, I noticed that. I just posted today so I'm not in any rush at the moment. Thanks for the heads up though.

Yeh, I have been given that advice from CBlack as well. I guess I'll have to pic his brain then
