I'm a little upset with the mail service as there rough with packages even if they say fagile on them. A few peices came unglued so no big deal.

Small update: I bought the rubber hose for the gauntlet. I need to hot glue/superglue the broken bits back onto my gauntlets. Still need to paint my shin tools. I bought a wireless mic for some fun interactions. I know AFFO$ has been busy lately with other commissions so I try not to bother him with the updates. He did send me one recently. He got one blaster done! I can't wait for him to finish the other!! I'm like 95% done with this build:)

Small update from AFFO$: He's finishing the ee3 this week hopefully. He used some pvc pipe to strengthen the joint between the two pieces. He will still need to jb weld, bondo, and sand everything before he paints anything but I think he's been doing a fantastic job so far! He also forgot to paint a piece on the pulse 40, so he took care of that as well. Getting closer!

Surprise update!! AFFO$ is a amazing artist...period!! He said he didn’t like the way the stock was looking. It is supposed to be wooden and to him looked like molded clay.

He then sent me more picks saying he got the greeblies attached to the stock and the rings for the leather sling glued in place. Hes gonna let that dry overnight and then add the final weathering tomorrow night! More pics coming soon!!!!

Yessssss!!!! AFFO$ has just finished my blasters and OMG they are beautiful!!! He should be shipping them to me in the next few days:) All I would need to do to finish this project would be to paint my shin tools, buy a Dewalt 38in. tough chest for trooping, and attaching those broken greeblies back onto my gauntlets. After that I should be 100% Fett and I think I would be ready to post full pics on here to get some feedback from you guys before sending pics to my local Garrison and getting that sweet 501st approval!!

Lol thanks ram! To me it has felt like forever haha but really it's only been about 7 months. I'm soooo close:) I can't wait to have my blasters in hand, then I'll feel that much closer to being finished!
