    Well, you got my old armor, so I'm hoping it's at least HALF as good.

    Very nice suit! Congratulations on your BH designation.

    The only suggestions I can make are add toe spikes and hit the boots with a little gray primer to wash out the black a bit. Very nice suit though!

    Oh and let's see the back of everything too. Rocketpack, etc.

    Re: BH-8990 Reporting for duty!!

    I'll be popping the toe spikes on later this week, and the grey primer doesn't sound like a bad idea. You'd be surprised how much lighter the black is already, though. Camera flash really washes out the "dirt"....

    Added a photo of the back at the top of the post. That braid that looks like I was playing "Pin the Tail on the Bounty Hunter" is now 6-8 inches shorter, so no risk of trapping it under the girth.

    And, man! That thong makes my a55 look sweet!

    Looking sweet man! Can't wait to troop with ya! Great timing too since I myself have been getting kinda burned out so in 09 I'm going to pick and choose my events rather than just doing them all... There's not really much in the winter months, but you may want to debut it at Supermegafest which we all attend(though not necessarily all in armor) Post up the the forums and say hello!

    Beautiful suit! Looks fantastic! If you ever want to troop with the New England Garrison we have TONS of events if you're lacking in local opportunities.

    Welcome to the 501st!
