If they are a size 13 in men's, they look horrible and you should send them to me for "disposal." If not, looking fantastic!

That's a nice boot there! You may want to bring up the curve a bit right next to the heel. If you look at the screen shots, I looks like that is the area with the biggest curve to it. What boot is that and did you have to paint it white?

Yeah the brown/green are the concern. The tab was the suggested paint by Matt. Ill try to take some more pics tonight when I get home.

Got little work done this weekend, but coming along nicely. Had to wait for the liquid latex to come to the house so I could mask off the silver. I used a black liquid latex I found online, an has worked great. Now I'm on the camo portion, but can't quite get the color right, as far as I can tell. What do you guys think if this combo? http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u415/bselphfsu282/image-7.jpg

Real life has caught up this past week!

Mine turned out the same way, but honestly you won't be able to tell. After you get it on the glove with some weathering it will look natural. Good luck with your build! I'm not way too many steps beyond you, but a lot of trial and error and questions have been asked and answered. Check out the other builds on here for more info, but never be afraid to ask. I assume you will be making a BC kit? Recon and I are working on the same, but most everyone can lead you in the right direction regardless if the kit they built.

He got it at a body shop. My buddy has a separate clone trooper for each day of marching at Star Wars weekends over the next month! Although I do see your point on the self leveling aspect. I checked the CRL and it says overlapping is correct, so I'm going with that at this point. Easier to make it overlapping and change it later than vise versa.

That's a good idea on the straps, since it seems to be an issue to get anything to stick to that rubber, but is there anything you would do to prevent tearing of the rubber? Recon, you are a motivated individual to add on to the toe cap! My buddy uses a polyester resin filler called pro flex, instead of bondo. Said it is self leveling, cures in 20 minutes, and sands flawlessly... Of course I heard this after I completed my bondo work.

Woah, so no overlap now? I was doing the overlap in the pictures, but I would need to trim just a bit to make sure they line up smoothly, I guess I should have had a picture of the side, but I think I have that figure out, so the front is not sticking out under the back that is overlapping. So overlapping is not movie now, so are we joining and doing bondo? The BC kit didn't come with the rubber covers on the shoulders, but I plan on using your idea of the pipe covering for it. I like the snaps, Grumps, that you posted on Recon's post, but would Velcro work as well? Hopefully (fingers crossed) ill be losing some of this gut and wanted to take it in if needed. The chest is not tight, and I think I have enough room for the cummerbund at this point, but didn't know your opinion. Man, maybe it is easier for Recon and I to just make a joint post, since we seem to mirror each others progress and questions!

I think it looks good where it is. I think mine is abut tighter, but that could come to haunt me when the cummerbund is on. I have some room to loosen but I think I'm set. It looks like you might want to take a bit off the armpit area. I'm going to do the same for a little more comfort, but not much. I am also going to use a heat gun to try to get the front shoulders to sit down a bit more, but not sure best way to go about it I think taping it to the back and then heating up might be the best way. Your thoughts?

Alright, chopped some of the shoulders, but concerned I did too much. Should it look like this ? http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/5beb7a29-f65c-4731-9aa1-50aec12e78c9.jpg.html?state=copy Or this? http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/image-5.jpg.html?state=copy http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/image-3.jpg.html?state=copy http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/image-2.jpg.html?state=copy http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/image-6.jpg.html

Yep, same issue I'm running into. My other issue are the sides are not meeting up the way they should when the shoulders are meeting up. I have one right and the other is wrong and vise versa. Interested to see how you fix that one. And were we supposed to get something to put over the shoulder joints? I see a little grey piece on everyone else's but I have nothing in my kit with it. Thinking about just cutting some out if spare HIPS. Figure out the belt issue? I'm concerned the Velcro won't stick to the back either.

Good idea for the HIPS paste. The joints I had on the inside kept cracking since I did not put enough bend in them when I glued the in. Going to add the hips paste on the inside for a stronger bond. Thanks!

I'm at the point now, that in order for the chest and back plates sides to meet up, I'm having to wear the chest a little higher that previously thought, sits on breast bone, and I'm having to cut a bit off the shoulders for them to meet on the tops. Is this normal?

unionjacksplace1@hotmail.co.uk Email this guy. He has an online store with them usually in stock. Just email what you want and size and he can help with conversion too.

I'm sure ill run by the hardware store this weekend, so if you don't get one before, I can snag one for you, but like I said, I doubt it will work. Just let me know.

I tried plasti-dip on it, and it just rubbed right off! I wouldn't waste my money on it. I don't know the shipping regulation in shipping an rattle can, but if you need me to locate any for you and ship it, just let me know

Yeah I found them in rattle cans at the hobby store in town. I have noticed the camo looks a little different than what is being used. They have a little more spotted spray paint look, instead of the hard lined camo look that I've seen. I prefer the hard line look to it, but I get what you are saying on it. I'm a little color blind, so the distinctions between close colors are hard for me to determine!

They also carry 2 different greens as well, but wasn't sure if they would work. What about the Tamiya TS-62 and TS-61 for the brown and green?

Boot covers look great. I'm not very experienced with bondo, so you'll have to wait for someone with more know how to give advice on that. Tip though, Home Depot or any handy store sells a little rubber triangle or square that is used for caulk lines, to smooth out. It worked perfect for the tank in getting a good smooth bondo line in the edges. The triangles are only a couple bucks.

Couldn't find the krylon ultra flat camo paint, but found 2 that are close. Which one looks correct? http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/bselphfsu282/media/image.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

Anyone seen Tamyia paint TS 61 & 62? It is a NATO green and a brown. Thoughts? http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/list/spray.htm

And I'm jealous.

Yeah size 13 and just not sure there is much I can do to make it where the shin sits under to boot topper. Dang clown feet with chicken legs is not a good combo with this armor!

This is what I was talking about. Also, think I need to take any more off the bottom of the leg piece? Doesn't quite make it to the toe cover.
