Yeah, the straps are there, I just tuckd them under the cummberbund for the photo.

The last piece of the puzzle arrived today........... A gorgeous 'ladysewsforus' cummberbund. Cheers Debbi, it fit's like a glove Darren

Ah, ha...... I told you that you'd finish before me James Nice work mate, very nice.

LOL....my typing is getting worse. That should have read "See the post above Joe" The dimensions that were given there are the ones I used on my lid.

See the post about Joe

Had a test fit of the biceps and forearm armour for the first time. The biceps still need attaching to the camo suit with velcro. A bit of tweaking needed yet, but getting there slowly. The cummberbund is also on it's way from the USA. Darren

We'll have to get together and have a dual KST test fitting soon ner vod. Darren

9 down, 9 to go....... Darren

Just a fairly 'open' weave cotton Joe. Colour wise it's a light tan, but I'm giving a dusting of the colour I used as the armour basecoat.

Man.... I hate covering foam boxes with fabric :evil: So far I've done 6 ( 12 left to do ). What do you guys think of the camo, OK? Darren

I've still got a bit to go yet James. Cummberbund is due to arrive early next month, still got the rest of the boxes to cover and the shin armour is to make. I keep getting sidelined by other projects ( my own ARF trooper and a few commissions for other people ). You'll probably beat me mate

Yep, I'll do that once the camo fabric is on.

Recieved mine today Kevin. Very nice card bro... Hopefully you'll get mine sometime next week. Let me know when they arrive. Daz

Cleaned up and smoothed down the lovely set of strofmos ammo boxes I've got ready for covering with fabric. Decided that it would be easier to cover them in fabric if the flap detail was added later, so I filed it off, covered it with fabric then added a seperate flap and box top section. A bit of camo and viola....! Nathan did give me some of the camo fabric that MrBungle gave him, but there wasn't enough left for the whole set, so I decided to paint them all ( thanks all the same Nath 8) ). more to come tomorrow...... Darren

Thanks Kevin. PM me your address mate and I'll pop a few Bacara's ( and one of my discontinued 501st clonetrooper ones ) in the post tomorrow. Darren

LOL cheers James. Another update......recieved a set of Dimitri's foam ammo boxes. One step closer.

Recieved the boxes today Dimitri. Many thanks mate Darren

Cheers Matt

Got the biceps finished and the greeblies added. Wrapped the cod in fabric ( hmmmm, that sounds a little wrong ). Making slow progress again.

Nice one Kevin I'll trade my Bacara for your KST. PM incoming

Well done Ski

Hi guys. Decided not to let certain things get to me and tonight I picked up ( and started work on ) the left bicep, so I guess the build is back on. Thanks for the words of encouragement. PS. I'm now the XO of Clonetroopers Detachment D.

Welcome to the swamp Dave

I'll deffo have a pair in UK size 9 Giovanni. Darren
