Okay, getting around to the fun stuff. Test fit! But first the jumpsuit. It's hard to see in this photo, but I need to adjust the elastic strap on the left leg. It's a bit too low in the back and a bit too loose. And obviously I made a wreck of trying to velcro up the cummerbund. Need to shorten the elastic crotch strap on that as well. Thoughts?

Looking good!

Yes, trim away! Check out Pandatrooper's build thread for the adjustments he made to his chest and back. Cheers and welcome!

I haven't made as much progress as hoped but still chugging along. Working on the suede patches, elastic, etc on the under suit with a seamstress. Boots are almost complete. Waiting for the glue on the calf pieces to dry then the wishbone covers will go on. [ Helmet visor section complete. Need to paint my 3M bolt gray. Also slightly enlarged the vents. Will move to interior work next before final assembly. Cummerbund and flak vest arrived. For the shoulder bridge sewed a double sided loop velcro strip. Then I added a small rectangle of hook to the inside of my bridges to strengthen placement. They should not be going anywhere.

Thanks, guys. Looking at the reference photos I think I will make it just a bit bigger. Perhaps a couple mm on each edge. BJ, I ordered a yard of the vinyl, but ended up using about 2/3. That said, the initial blocks I cut for the toes were probably oversized, but I didn't want to cut too small and waste it entirely. Glueing the toes tonight so I should have boots completed by Monday. Cummerbund, pouches and flak vest should be here tomorrow and I'll do a test fitting. Next up is the belt.

How do these holes look for the vents?

Thanks! Yes, that first shot was just the initial placement. No heat or stretching. Below is a shot after the first round. One or two more rounds should do it. Not much else done today except for a trip to the fabric store for various elastic supplies.

Thank you, gentlemen! Started the boots proper. Following the tutorial from TJ (a.k.a. jeezycreezy a.k.a. TB-4210). Kropserkel blaster showed up today as well.

Progress continues. Undersuit received, pockets removed, suede ordered, and collar flap added. I'm following Pandatrooper's fantastic build thread for my assembly. Tank is complete. A bit heavy on the glue... Elastics in place except for the top knee strap. Heading over to the fabric store today.

Full speed ahead on this suit now. Jumpsuit arrived today, boots acquired, blaster ordered, and gloves on the way. Doing my best to target Lancer status.

Perfect timing. I generally wear large but the sizing seems to suggest medium. Ordered both and will sell the other pair.

Ha, yes, mixed up my acronyms. It's an SC in the picture, but interested in a KS for size.

Hello all! I've had my kit for a few months was working on a newborn son project for a while. Starting on the helmet and should make good progress at a garrison armor party in a couple weeks. What type of bondo/putty do you recommend for the dome/back join? I was starting to paint the snout, but will likely back off and paint the whole helmet white first due to the bondo/putty. Also, I have a somewhat larger head so I'm thinking of picking up a KS* bucket as well. If someone can send the contact info my way I'd appreciate it. Cheers. * EDIT: previously KC
