ya, are you going to be a grunt or an officer?

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.

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.

Looks great Gator!!!Cant wait to see this done!! Your right about the officer bit. I think I might hold off on my GM and do a plain grunt next.

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.

Latest test fit.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I think that you might beat Harps build!!!! At this rate you will definately be done by the Clone Wars.

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.

PM sent.

Well??? Are you done? Huh, Huh? Are ya, Are ya??? (had to do it..)

Makes me want to throw my armor in the trash!

Looks FANTASTIC!

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

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

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!!
