It will take adjusting several times to get it all like I ultimately want it. I haven't finalized the chest armor yet. I only have it on there with industrial Velcro which does a pretty good job. I'm going to get it spaced exactly how I want it and then use the snaps to make it permanent. It was so much harder than I imagined but would be so much easier to do it again as I've learned so much. It would have been near impossible to complete without all of these tutorials and WIP found here.

That is how I did mine. I used the velcro to get it right and only then punched the holes in my precious leather. I was scared to death when I did it too.......

Found out the best way to figure out what you need to do to make your costume the best it can be is wear it for 11 hours at comic con. Everything went almost perfect except for my jetpack still doesn't sit up high enough and it isn't the right angle. I will fix this pretty easy though.

My my suit from the waist down was great. No troubles at all. I was somewhat worried about the knees but I had much more movement in them that I originally thought. . My collar plate wouldn't stay in place but that's because I only used Velcro. I'm going to breakdown and put the snaps on for sure now. All in all it was a pretty big hit and I am hooked now!

Heres a few shots from the day......

So the 501st said I needed better boots. So I found Crow and sent a message. He confirmed all the details and I sent the money PayPal. Cruzer had them here and shipped them right away. Within a week problem was solved. I'm about to send in my current status and hope for the best. Thanks for the quick process guys on the boots. Top notch for sure!!!

Thanks! It's what I've been working for. Where could I find a hollow stalk? I have a servo motor and the light kit I need to install. Anyone know?

I found a guy that had some resin ones. I painted them up and am satisfied until I can find some better ones.

Haven't made a post to this in awhile but I recently did a whole revamp of my suit. I redone all the chest armor and added a new vest from Loanstar. I have some better photos coming soon from this past weekends comic con. So happy to finally be getting close to satisfied.
